Which Direction Should I Take My 240SX Project Build?

[@ethangee96]

I'd restore it back to factory, as clean stock 240's are hard to come by these days, especially manuals!

[@ZainAli-ij6wu]

+JKintzle02 Agree! In cream whitee colour or light blue but keep it classic not a tuner with a body kit and slammed.

[@Shyzah]

id love to see this car restored to mint. im so tired of seeing modded 240s everywhere. And the ones that arent modded look like theyve been through a tornado

[@quentinc1275]

Shyzah totally agree

[@quentinc1275]

*I'm not going to put any body kits or big spoilers on the car* HUGE sigh of relief.

[@quentinc1275]

*Also I don't want to stance it* Another sigh of relief

[@quentinc1275]

Also since you get the 2.4 liter engine I'm yours, totally keep it and build it.

[@noble20xx56]

Quentin C Yeah all of that is unnecessary. Plus it would ruin it's look.

[@DoctaM3]

Looking forward to how to bring this to life. Good to see solid YouTUBERs doing this. Its gonna be awesome. You have me hooked Kyle. Stay true to you and your fans.

[@saabkyle04]

Thank you my friend!

[@daten__]

DoctaM3! Whats up!!

[@DoctaM3]

Hey...what's up?

[@BCJDM]

I like the direction your taking, not every 240 has to be slammed with a big wing and an ls.

[@Goldenrod636]

I'm fine with anything as long as the motorized seat belts stay. Maybe if you can get some factory leather (if they came with leather) that would be good.

[@saabkyle04]

I love those seat belts too haha

[@bullsfan23gg53]

Saabkyle04 hey Kyle congrats on 1million man keep on making us subs happy with all of your amazing content!(:

[@mikeels5836]

Saabkyle04 congrats on 1 million subs! Awesome job with the videos!

[@cheesmastr5303]

Erik Petrie you're why people under 15 shouldn't own 240's

[@alexp6016]

I would definitely swap in leather seats. I don't remember if the S13 came with it, though. I can't stand cloth.

[@moparmagoo]

As far as suspension goes, don't waste your time or money with lowering springs or "coil sleeves." Just go for a set of coilovers. Pick up a set of Fortune Auto 500s (they're made in Virginia!). They are really affordable, can be custom valved to the spring rate you choose, and are top quality. I have a set on my Sileighty and I absolutely love them. On that note however, in order to eliminate camber, especially at the rear, 240s require adjustable suspension arms. I have a full GKTech set on the back of my car, with SPL front tension rods, and have zero complaints so far. Look forward to seeing where you go with this build!

[@saabkyle04]

Thank you for the advice man, I appreciate that!

[@moparmagoo]

No worries. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message. I've had my car apart and back together more times than I care to count. Best of luck!

[@hypocycloidiaspora]

With Coilovers, don't go overboard on spring rate - the most common coilovers have ridiculously hard springs, I made that mistake myself and it's not fun. I can sit on my fender directly above the front wheel and the body doesn't move a millimeter - it's so stiff it makes everything else on the car rattle. Get the softest spring rate you can find, and it will probably still be 2X or 3X stiffer than stock. 8KG / 6KG springs are too stiff for street use, if your streets have potholes of any kind, expansion joints, etc.

[@moparmagoo]

I believe my FA500s are sprung at 7k/6k and they ride smooth. It really all comes down to personal preference, though. Running proper sized tires with decently meaty sidewalls takes a lot of the "hit" away from bumps as well. My car is on 235/45-17 front and 255/40-17 rear, rides like a dream.

[@cabinbuilder1]

fortune autos are NOT affordable lmao. 2k for coilovers isn't affordable

[@rvne3959]

You should keep it stock in appearance and upgrade the engine (obviously make it look more factory). Make it like the stock turbo ka Japanese 180's. Best of both worlds.

[@rvne3959]

I think that part of the charm is the lack of real power. Kinda like a NA Miata. I would even keep the skinny wheels.

[@rvne3959]

Dreqzy My bad I just knew it came with a turbo 1.8

[@henryhancock4850]

Tastefully modified autocross car. No drift crap.

[@bittexas6318]

Henry Hancock I like that idea. Maybe a turbo but not much.

[@redey1290]

Finally, a comment not saying make it a drift car!

[@SentenialOcten]

I was just about to comment almost this exact thing.

[@williamgrand9724]

Lots of dank camber, an ls swap, gold 30 spoke bbs rims, lambo doors, a dragon decal and nos seat covers.

[@treyhenry3857]

Omg CONGRATS on 1,000,00 subscribers,I've been here since 200,000 and it's amazing how much the channel has grown!

[@karespratt5131]

I love that he is one of those people who don't transform the whole character of the car. Keeping it true to its roots! Lots of people just don't care about the 240 and see it as a scrap piece of machinery.

[@saabkyle04]

My appreciation for classics runs deep, we have to appreciate where the auto industry came from to truly appreciate where we are today. Plus, affordable sports cars like this just aren't made anymore, aside from say a Subaru BRZ or Toyota GT86.

[@karespratt5131]

Exactly!

[@alldayedcers9454]

1 Millll congrats Kyle

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks bud!

[@zed4me]

Congratulations on hitting 1 MILLION subscribers!

CONGRATS ON A MILLION SUBS. Been here since 2011, keep up the superb work!

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Looking forward to the detailing video Kyle!

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks you! It's going to be a lot of fun!

[@hansmeyer2]

I have tons of respect for you, Kyle. You've followed your passion for cars and you pursue it with a genuineness that is pure and we all benefit tremendously from that. Thank you.

[@Swaucey]

Congrats on 1 mill bro! Well deserved. Been subscribed since you like 100k

[@saabkyle04]

Thank you for all of your support over the years!! =)

[@jackaubrey2230]

Saabkyle04 keep clean the car plz

[@austinsolo3135]

I'd say do an sr20det, paint/wrap, suspension, brakes, wheels and tint.

[@BeavertonBoi]

Kyle, your vision for the car's paint/wrap is spot on, please do that! I'm not digging the wheels, especially the size you stated (17x7.5). I personally would at least go for 17x8 myself but I know you would have to modify your fenders a little to minimize tire rubbing.

[@saabkyle04]

Yeah, I'm still not 100% on the wheels, but I do really like the style. There's so many wheels out there to consider, it's overwhelming haha. I'm not against rolling the fenders, but if I have to, I'd consider it. Thanks!

[@timoclimbs]

2jz, fender flares, small wing, carbon fiber bonnet and whatever else you want would be awesome

[@adamJeepstuff]

going to love to follow this build. your channel is amazing, I got here because of the unloved wj grand Cherokee. subscribed because of the content.

[@DobeliusDobbe]

Restore it to perfect stock condition. A clean stock 240SX is over 9000 times rarer than the riced out aka ruined ones.

[@digitalrailroader]

I'd make it a stock looking sleeper; make the interior and exterior like brand new, but upgrade the brakes, suspension and drivetrain.

[@raterbeast]

You should do a full stock restore! There are so few unmolested 240's left on the road you should preserve this one!

[@daten__]

Lol "unmolested" I see what you did there

[@raterbeast]

What did I do there?

[@MMaldonado611]

raterbeast *unmolested*

[@jag-5687]

Great video I'm looking forward to the final stage 😎!

[@bradenwuesthoff5639]

A total restoration would be cool

[@nazarenofernandez2549]

I like the idea of keeping the majority stock, keep the engine and mod it, full exhaust system, change the wheels, change the seats and paint the roof black, and wrapping the car is a good idea

[@TradinPaintxyz]

You could make a heap of money if you restored it. Every mod you do will depreciate your car more, but then again, the next owner is 95% likely to make it a drift car

[@CarterFooty11]

1 million subs! Awesome man. Keep it up.

[@waleedalim.6128]

Hey Kyle, you should consider JDM taillights. They're expensive but it's worth the cost

[@ProBenja5]

I think the USDM ones look a lot better. It matches up nicer with the simple lines of the 240sx.

[@hansthurfjell]

why not the type x lights? those are cool

[@Harzman01]

I think thats what he meant when he said JDM Taillamps. IT's the type x Lights

[@eru-win2025]

i like the 50/50 clear taillights

[@SisilKabir]

Congratulations on reaching 1 Million Subscribers, Kyle! What a journey it has been! Wishing you an even brighter future ahead with your success in making some of the most detailed auto car review videos on KZbin. Thumbs up, buddy!

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

Please, just do an OEM restoration of it. You have 2 fun cars (the Viper and the T'Bird), and a restored Ford Fairlane. Time for an OEM restored Japanese car!

[@Trob85]

thanks for the memories: my aunt had a red one that I liked so much!

[@uberleet01]

Keep it clean man, more than 80% of all 240s are modded to their nuts seeing a clean one is more cool than seeing a modded one.

[@saabkyle04]

Yessir, that's the plan! Thanks!

[@felonyflyer3460]

it's always nice to watch your videos after a bad day because you always greet your subs with asking "how's it going" and having a nice smile on your face

[@saabkyle04]

Thank you :) KZbin is all about having fun and engaging with other car enthusiasts!

[@Neonmonkey42]

Stock. 100% stock.

[@Neonmonkey42]

Or at least make it appear that way.

[@firebird188]

indeed. In a couple of years, a stock 240sx will be a goldmine.

[@RestrictedHades]

+firebird188 that's what everyone says about na Miatas but they're still cheap

[@phantommedia9964]

restore it. restomod it!

[@coleysheats4334]

1,000,000 SUBCRIBERS!! We've been waiting for it and we all knew it would happen! So happy and proud of you! You deserve this more than any other car related channel on KZbin because of your pure personality and reviews! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have my BMW 5 Series which I'm the happiest man alive with, lol. But my God you earned this and deserved it!! Can't wait for the day you hit 2,000,000!!

[@crouchb15]

all it really needs it a new coat of paint

[@crouchb15]

and of course satellite radio

[@MusikMan8675309]

Maybe he could do plastidip so that he can still preserve the original paintwork underneath while still being able to change the color.

[@superwill621]

coilovers,wheels,intake,exaust,brake,turbo?,engineswap?,wrap,quick release steering wheels,seats+rollcage

[@agron545]

It would be cool if you wrapped it with chromed and put some 22 inch chrome wheels and put a big ass spoiler and so you don't spend so much money on how the car should sound just remove the muffler and put a turbo whistle on it that would be awesome

[@tannerpatterson3088]

Deidara - Senpai Rice

[@jeremyfowler1519]

Triggered. Lol

[@davidu6551]

Deidara - Senpai such a ricer

[@TreeLBollingTreeMan]

Kyle you're on the right track with keeping the outside stock as much as possible and I agree also with you on keeping the same motor and just going through it and building upon it. You love what the 240SX is so don't get to far away from the original.

[@ChriE45]

SR20-DET swap would be a good idea for the engine swap

[@420garage7]

10miler lol

[@55DTDR]

love the vision you have for your car. I personally have a 240 and I have made it all motor and being 100% honest it's plenty of power for a balanced set up. If you want to take it for a track day you won't be bored or needing more, or if you just want to take it out on the twisties like in your video it's more then enough. By all motor I mean cams, exhaust including header, intake including emissions delete, lightened flywheel and clutch, and an LED. Car is balanced for what ever your mood, track, drift, cruise.

[@KManHU]

Kyle stealth grey wrap is ok, but please do not ruin it with some "cheap" looking white mono or rays wheels, i know they are expensive but look silly imo!

[@slowspecv69]

congrats on 1 million subs, you definitely deserve it, keep up the amazing work👍

[@cabby007]

gotta put a SR20DET in it, 3" exhaust, nice body kit nice 17" wheels

[@420garage7]

cabby007 lol

[@ReidG_RN]

Really excited to see where this build goes! As far as braking & stuff goes, I'd recommend going with a set of EBC Ultimax or Sport rotors, followed with a set of EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads, or a set of Hawk HPS brake pads if you're wanting to go with something a little cheaper, but still offer great performance. The Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 is a great tire to consider if you're wanting to keep the cost down, too! Hope some of this helps!

[@sspyridonidis]

Swap Engine for sure 👌

[@420garage7]

TheCarGuy13 lol

[@DaChazIn]

Hey Kyle. Congrats on the 240! It's really a beautiful car. I actually have almost the exact same one except mine's the XE version. I just wanted to give you some of my thoughts about the things you said in the video. As far as what you said about suspension, I absolutely think that coil-overs are going to be your best bet: being able to adjust your ride height and spring rates is a huge plus when you're running after market wheels. Now for what you said about the engine. Both our cars came stock with the KA24E engine. Its the single cam 2.4 liter engine that came before the KA24DE which was in pretty much all the other USDM 240's after 1990. People seem to like to shit on the single cam but its actually a pretty great motor. Online there are engine upgrade parts such as pistons and cams (I mean...cam) etc. another great thing about the KA24E is that it comes stock with forged rods. KA24 motors can be incredibly fun motors when boosted. Which is why I personally think that is the route you should go. The only actual other upgrades you'll need to do before boosting safely (Depending on how much boost you want to run) is fuel pump, injectors, and MAF. And of course a tune. With all of those things I just said in the car you could easily run 15lbs of boost and push 330hp. Now i know you said you wanted about 230 so theres actually a good solution to that. CXracing actually makes a kit for the ka24e for $1000 that bolts straight on with no modification (no maf, tune, fuel upgrades) and it's dyno'd to make 230hp straight out of the box. But obliviously you really should get a tune and fuel upgrades. You could very easily daily it running on 9lbs of boost. Also keep those automatic seat belts. They're awesome. (PS. Those seatbelts have an unlimited lifetime warranty from Nissan) Thanks for reading if you actually read all of this Congrats again Kyle great video!

[@Bikini_ST]

You should go a little wider on wheels & tires and put fenders on it. SR20 Swap it... its cheap and i feel its a better bang for the buck.

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

My sugestion would be: improving the engine, an SR20DET for example, brakes and suspension, maybe wheels and tires, What about 17's?

[@illumination357]

I would build the engine in the car and then turbo it. That would be the cheapest route. You should check out those carbon fiber wraps they look amazing!

[@matth7118]

Kyle, I went a similar route with my 240. At the time it was either put in an SR20 and a few bolt-ons or build the KA. I wanted more power than the SR can reasonably offer and something a little different. I built the KA and put something I would NOT recommend on it.. a T70. Way too much turbo, and didn't spool till 5k then it was a matter of holding on. But the motor took the power without a hiccup. With a reasonably sized turbo, say a GT30 or GT35, it is an excellent powertrain, and keeps the originality you want. But a couple things.. 1) Find a tuner first. I tried a mail order tune and it was never really right. It didn't want to idle. They can tune for the injectors/airflow at full power, but outside the powerband requires some seat time, and I highly recommend investing in it. 2) The brakes. The previous owner put in a Z32 front setup, and in such a light car they lock up very quickly, making them more dangerous than the stockers. I think with a good set of pads and some high quality rotors you will have plenty of braking power for 350 or so horses. I like the idea of painting/wrapping the roof gloss black and keeping it mostly stock (or at least original). Good luck with the build, I'll be watching your progress!

[@Big.W.]

Resto-mod with maybe a 350z/370z engine with matching wheels?

[@saabkyle04]

That sounds pretty awesome!

[@nickherrera577]

1.) Sil80 front end conversion 2.) rota grids (non stanced) 3.) just have a paint correction (or wrap it) 4.) greddy exhaust thats should be it haha :))) have fun on the build!

[@emilianocruz11]

on the engine pf your 240sx make a turbo with intercooler

[@emilianocruz11]

and a single exhaust from stillen or borla

[@icurt06]

I like your ideas about the brakes, coil overs, wheels, tires, rebuilding the existing engine with some power adders and wrapping the car. I think some nice seats, steering wheel and a better shifter would make for a real nice build. Don't forget that adding more power you may need to research the clutch capabilities.

[@Zac1_]

Give it to haggard garage for a week and say "do whatever you want" 😂😂😂

[@carguy615]

Hell naw to the naw naw naw lmfao

[@phantommedia9964]

lmaoooooo

[@TruckLifeProductions]

Sr20det, straight piped, gloss black 17x8 front 17x9 rear, coil-overs and that wrap setup would be sweet

[@brembohibbon9376]

[@tonyzhuravlev3017]

do the rb25 or get an sr200 the sr20 is a drop in turbo motor

[@taoh780]

You can actually peel off the leather wrap around the shift knob to get the original shift knob before the customer decided to purchase this add-on. Thanks for posting this video, brings back memories of my '91 240sx that I really loved to drive and put time into maintenance. I kept it completely stock as well.

[@DaCoder]

No mention of SR20DET? :/

[@420garage7]

Sean Slater ka is better than sr. Lol

[@DaCoder]

The aftermarket support for turbo's is why SR's win in my book. Also I don't like truck motors :P

[@420garage7]

Sean Slater aftermarket support for turbos..does that have anything to do with the SR? No.. Aftermarket support for turbos..what does that even mean. Are you talking about the availability of exhaust manifolds, ready to preform for simple t3/4 setups. Xccesive makes one, spot on. It's like $300 bucks. Don't wanna pay up? Make one yourself. The KA has plenty...of aftermarket support. Ranging from cams to Pistons, rods, bearings, valves/springs. Everything..its out there bud. Do your research kid, and hop off the SR "JDM tyte" bandwagon. KA isn't a truck motor, I'm not going to waste my time. Again, look it up..chump. Lol. SR is a great motor, turbo for turbo. The KA performs better. Plaaaaaain and simple. Using "truck motor" as Derogatory term? Go talk to all the LS boys. Peace. Educate yourself.

[@420garage7]

Sean Slater each their own though Brodie, take it easy.

[@DaCoder]

I take it you really like KA engines, that's fine. But hes looking for power, and a sr20det engine swap is one of the best candidates whether you think so or not. Have a nice day.

[@txwatts]

Hey Kyle, congrats on 1 million subscribers. My opinion on the 240sx build would be to keep the engine, and make it as reliable as possible, and then adding a turbocharger. Keeping the stock engine feels the most authentic, and I would also recommend repainting the midnight blue pearl! You rarely ever see that color on any car. For the suspension, coilovers would be the way to go, for the exhaust, I would suggest making a standard exhaust for now, just to get rid of the old, rusty stock one. Good luck on the build. Of course tires are your preference.

[@mentallyhandicappedpoptart2649]

Hey kyle me again do you know of a place I can get one of those cheap?

[@saabkyle04]

Hey! I'm not 100% sure, eBay is a good bet and Dashub is another good one, but the latter has a lot of salvage cars too if you want something cheap to fix up yourself.

[@mentallyhandicappedpoptart2649]

[@Whoracle8531]

yeah turbo KA all the way or SR20DET..

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks for your suggestion!

[@philspaghet]

S15 SR20DET is your best bet. It has a good amount of power stock (220hp), and since it's such a popular swap in the US, parts availability shouldn't be too bad :) I'd specifically look for a S15-variant since it has the most power and is younger and probably has less mileage.

[@accentwolf1260]

Please put this car back to its stock form, its too nice to ruin.

[@saabkyle04]

It's already in its stock form ;) I do not want to ruin its original character, please watch the video and I will explain my vision for this project!

[@hernes0071]

buy an ebay turbo kit and rice it out

[@geigerzoola6642]

agreed

[@shivam220]

Build what you have right now. Then down the road put an rb into it. Especially in 2-3 years rb support will be a lot more as we get more and more skylines in the U.S. As suspension get coilovers, you can even get low mileaged used ones on craiglists for like 500 or less. Dont skimp out of coilovers tho, great buy

[@hashemhashem381]

KEEP IT ORIGINAL PLZZZZZZ

[@tysonb8328]

Kyle, if you want to do something along Europe spec lines I can give you an idea. Type x rear end conversion, ISIS Blast pipes for exhaust (looks stock kinda), ca18det swap with a larger turbo, injectors and a nice tune. Full coil overs are the way you want to go with fender flares to fit wide wheels. Get a nice stereo, 12" sub, etc for comfort. That's what I'd do. Also. Don't worry about paint/warp til you get cash to do the original paint again nice and then do a wrap. You are going to spend more on paint and wrap if you do it the way you said you wanted.

[@tjb3454555150]

LS3 swap.

[@edward101697]

tjb3454555150 LS7 'merica

[@tjb3454555150]

Agreed.

[@asdf89sdf]

Hi Kyle, cool idea. Here are some thoughts: Motor-keep what you have and fix it up a little. Suspension: New oem shocks and lowering springs by 1/2" and some nice 17 wheels with good tires. Interior: Love the blue. Reinstall the factory radio and install a Nismo (JDM) shift knob. Freshen up the interior but otherwise keep it stock. Paint: The images you showed of your dream look pretty badass but personally I like the factory blue and I would repaint the factory color since you have that great blue interior.

[@TheGavinch]

I'm really interested to see where this project goes. I am a proud owner of a 1990 240sx with a KA24DE swap, welded diff, coilovers, gut, etc. Bought it as just a typical 240. I'm greatly intrigued by what its going to look like going from stock as a rock to where ever its end goal takes it. This is going to be great!

[@fb1907]

great interior it's definitely worth the restoration. I used to own the very same car for 11 years all I had to do is to replace the fuel injectors. sold it with 194k miles. right after the whole dashboard cracked open right in the middle with half an inch of gap following a freezing night...

[@jonathanmartinez7910]

1mill congratulations you deserve everything that has come and is coming in a positive way, so great full to have clicked on your channel

[@MrSchmidtaki]

I like the idea of putting a turbo charger and rebuilding the engine, along with everything else you plan on doing I think that's the right way to go.

[@ThaKenMan]

Why not go SR20det? It drops right in since it came in the JDM versions. The engine comes with a massive aftermarket and you can have parts shipped to your house in less than a week no matter where you live in the US. I have had my SR20det in my 240 for about 5 years now and I haven't had a problem with getting parts or reliability. Its a very capable engine and I think you would enjoy it.

[@saabkyle04]

I have researched that a bunch and just completely forgot to mention it in the video, too many things to talk about haha. That would make the most sense if I was doing a swap. I'll dig into it more, but I'm still leaning toward building up the KA, I'll figure it out one way or another haha.

[@anonymousmind]

DETAILING VIDEOS IS WHAT I WANT! I want to see you clean the paint and wheels! Haha as soon as I'm writing I hear you talking about it! New wheels are due for the 240SX!

[@saabkyle04]

That's coming next week! :) I cannot wait, it's going to turn out great!

[@anonymousmind]

Saabkyle04 Also you should get a Polish detail and then maybe PPF? if you want to show off the original paint!

[@anonymousmind]

Saabkyle04 just herd you talk about the wrap!

[@anonymousmind]

To wrap the car you will probably need to Polish detail the car or wrap wont stick or look nice and then you could make your choice on a wrap or original paint.

[@maximilianoluera6679]

Looking at the Forza picture, I'd go with the same wheels but gloss black. Also, I'd do a SLIGHTLY bigger wing, just a little more lip in the back.Its your car though, You do you kyle!

I would spend your first money on this car on new plugs, fluids, suspension and filters (including fuel filter). Once you have it in mint operating condition, you can build on it's appearance.

Kyle - don't forget about the SR20 series. Not quite as much power as the engines you mentioned, but it's definitely a lot more power than the KA24, it's plenty affordable, and probably the easiest swap. Glad to see you're keeping it clean and subtle. Congrats on 1 million!

Thanks buddy! I completely forgot to mention the SR20, despite looking at them countless times already haha.

You have a really cool direction for the car. not many people do a near stock or resto-mod build. Big brakes up front, fluid and pads should be good. knowing your attention to detail you'll want at least matched springs and dampers if not coil-overs. Make sure you do your research to put together a reliable turbo KA.

CONGRATS ON THE 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS, KYLE!

Bodywise I recommend checking out Dorkidori side skirts and Rear valances. The V1's are very lowkey and give such a nice look. I think that would look great on this car. Just my opinion though. And for the front brakes Z32 Brakes should do you good if you want to save cash. As for suspension you'll definitely want too go with coilovers. You can get anything from a slight drop to balls low. whatever you're in the mood for. Swaps, RB would be fine and dandy. Less to worry about finding parts nowadays since there's alot more skylines in america nowadays. The single cam KA is practically bulletproof, the only thing with it is that there's not much mod support for the singles. If you want modification capability and the best bang for your buck, the Dual cam KA Is exactly what you need. ALSO THIS IS IMPORTANT, a nismo power brace is gonna be one of the most beneficial thing you can do too the car. You get such a high amount of rigidity from it, it's definitely worth it. Not too expensive either. Lastly, S13's tend to have understeering problems, so too help that just stiffen the rear anti roll bars. Good luck with the build!

Your exterior choice looks awesome Kyle! Simple, not too flashy. Suspension : yes dropping it a little would look better and with that nice looking momo wheels, couldn't argue with that. Engine : SR20DET would be a pretty good swap. Interior : as stock as possible but refurbish the worn parts. Looking forward for this project Kyle! :D

Maybe try to make it luxury inside? With some wood-stuff one the console where the shiftknob is. And try to get it at the doors too! And another nice idea: take the gauge cluster out and get another one with chrome rings in it to get the luxury in the interior!
