So for a while now my dad has been bugging me to find him a 90’s under $6 thou sports car. I always kind of thought he was bluffing but always being on the prowl, I found something worth poking at. So I ended up showing him a kijiji add and he wanted to go take a look. ![http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/IMG00057-20100125-1621.jpg](http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/IMG00057-20100125-1621.jpg) We went and had a look. the car is perfect 170xxx kms of goodness has not been raped like all other s-chassis out there (including mine lol) i advised my o.k. and that is how a mid life crisis is taken care of. plans start off with, poly: subframe bushings, steering rack bushings ect ect… a stainless intake, mild exhaust what do you guys think would also be tastfull? Stoked. thought id share. who has mild KA bolt onssss? 🙂 ---

Leave the stock exhaust. Just get rid of the resonator. Drop in K&N. Full tune up and advance the timing. Leave it alone after that. I don’t know your dad. But, I’m sure he won’t want some ricey lookin S14. (in their eyes a friggin front lip is ricey) Member, tasteful in your eyes…may not be in his. But congrats! I wish my dad digged S-chassis (Nissan’s) like I do. He just drives the SHIT outs my car when I let him. blaaaaah ---

My dad became cool real quick when he told me when searching for there first car in Canada they had 2 cars to decide between. They narrowed it down to a VW Golf and a Nissan 240sx. The golf got it due to rear seat room but that would have been cool. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-dad-just-got-cool/131074.md?page=2)
