Message	The Z will be going into the body shop finally to have the WW bodykit installed, as well as a new hood and some other odds and ends. Got to order some Ground Controls and various other items..for the Z....sure willbe nice to not have to drive my Z all the time! ;-) Now, on to the Beater Silvia. Its a 1992 240SX SE Hatch Back, Silver with 150K miles, immaculately clean, and 1 previous owner (female) Car came originally from North Carolina. Very nice aquisiton for $1500..or so.So after the Z is out of the body shop and its new interior is installed its time to start building the Silvia. A redtop SR20DET is in order along with ground control coilovers, 5 lug conversions, 300ZX brakes, J30 VLSD, FMIC, BOV, SAFC, and Stereo System. I'm 21 now, and have roughly 2 years to finish this before I start law school...so wish me luck now y'all. The goal is to be able to take the 240 to school and leave the Z at home in the garage...and so it begins... 1994 NA Coupe Stage 5 Robert Maddrey AIM: NA300ZXusa Email: Rob@ecza.org http://web.tampabay.rr.com/na300zx
