hey everybody! thanks for all the help and suggestions, now i dont want to feel or seem like a quitter, but i was watching tokyo drift this weekend, and saw Hans 240sx, and im feeling like i want to grab one of those and make that my project, do any of you think that would be a good car to do? or do you think i should stick with the avalon?

Stick with the Avalon! 240s are nice and there is a HUGE Aftermarket for them, but WHO HAS A STANCED AVALON? I'm all for the unique platform...

keep the avalon, make it rwd and swap in a SR20DET.

Han's 240sx


Your funny man. Too funny.



Seriously keep the avalon, the s chassis cars aren't anything to go crazy over. Plus, they used a couple toyota avalons in that movie

^ every one of those is 10x more interesting than yet another shitbox 240.

thanks for the help guys! i think i will stick with the Avalon, my dad is talking to me like, why would you put work/money into a car like this, but i think it can look sick, and thanks for those pictures for some inspiration. Ive been looking around and found some wheel that are pretty good price and was wondering if you guys think which look better, i will probably paint my car black, dark navy or maroon, dark military green or something.

It doesn't matter what he says, if it's what you want to do, then do it.

My mom thinks that because I spent $15 on some center caps for my stock wheels that I have money coming out of my asshole.



Look into getting some used real wheels.

Yep.

I think the SP1 knockoffs you have listed above would look nice, so see if you can find a set of SSRs or similar that maybe need some refinishing. You'd be amazed at what you can afford on the used market.
