Why are you sinking money into a car which financially doesnt make sesne? (not that modding any car makes sense financially) I’m sure regardless of what you say this car isnt going to be something your going to keep for more than a couple years, and by putting money into it all your doing is burning your own money as when the time comes to sell it when you no longer want it, your not going to get any of the money back. You’d be better off putting money into the bank and waiting a few years to buy a nice car, something you know your going to want and keep for awhile so you don’t look back and thing woah why did I put $$$ in that? My first 2 cars I wanted to do this that and this, i did a few stupid little things here and there, looking back on it now, at the time I was like woah this is sick cant wait to do this now, because well its what I had and could afford at the time, but makes absoloutely no fucking sense what so ever, and not that it was much but easily coulda been another 1-2k i coulda put into the Z, which while not a “really nice” car by any means, is something I do plan on being in for quite some time as I love the car. I know you want something somewhat fun to drive, and want to mod your vehicles, but be smart about it. Keep it stock, drive it, save money and mod something thats going to be worth modding. Something you don’t drive daily and will enjoy for years. Regardless, as travis said, good luck with whatever you do man, if you think its going to make you happy in the long run then by all means keep going, but I think in the future your going to want to punch yourself in the dick. ---

Sup man, good luck with that GA16DE. You can do quite a bit to the Sentra, I remember the three part series in SCC on it, here I found it for ya: > **[Project Nissan 200SX 1.6: Part 1 - Project Cars - Sport Compact Car Magazine](http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/project-car/0012scc-project-nissan-200sx-part-1/)** > > Read all about our Project Nissan 200SX 1.6: Part 1, brought to you exclusively by the experts at Sport Compact Car Magazine. > **[Project Nissan 200SX 1.6: Part 2 - Project Cars - Sport Compact Car Magazine](http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/project-car/0102scc-project-nissan-200sx-part-2/)** > > Read all about our Project Nissan 200SX 1.6: Part 2, brought to you exclusively by the experts at Sport Compact Car Magazine. > **[Project Nissan 200SX 1.6: Part 3 - Project Cars - Sport Compact Car Magazine](http://www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/project-car/0106scc-project-nissan-200sx-part-3/)** > > Read how We install a brake upgrade, braces and a short shifter on our Project Nissan 200SX 1.6 brought to you exclusively by the experts at Sport Compact Car Magazine. Looks like the Hotshot header actually made some power, and the NX brakes were also done by SCC. And if people are giving you a hard time about spending money and modding the car, pay no attention and keep going. If you react to it, it will probably get worse. ---

Owned a B13 classic, driven several B14s, owned B15 SE and driven a couple of the Spec Vs. B13 is the hands down favorite! I’d love to own a near mint one someday… Yeah, Spec V is probably the fastest straight line, but I just don’t like the QR engines and even the six speed box didn’t feel “great” in the one I drove. Plus they have that low redline and all. A VQ swapped Spec V sounds cool on paper but I wonder how nice those things handle with even more weight on the fronts! ---
