Noob member here. Yeah! Happy b-day sis!

1990 240SX Fback, commuter car w/ upgraded parts as they failed:
300Z fuel filter, magnecor wires, new fuel injectors to replace the raw gas-smelling rolling timebombs. HKS 2.5in dual tip exhaust when my original failed. Buzzing tri-Y factory exhaust heat-shield delete (sounded like an old VW GTI, getting on my nerves), K&N airfilter in a cut-away stock airbox. Hawk HPS brake pads to replace the stockers that would fade from a hard 60mph stop, etc, etc.

Nothing special. It was my divorce car, but handled very well and made my Porsche 911driving boss nervous on a fast drive back from a meeting. I stuck on his tail like glue despite the ~120hp difference.

Car got totalled back in 2004 when I was T-boned at an intersection.

Next ride? Another 240SX with some sort of swap, no SR or RB thank you. Time to be original or at the least early adopter rather than bleeding edge.

Love my sister's G coupe. Unfortunate that it's "Lexus SC430, I'm-a-female-business-exec" pearlescent white and auto to boot. Someday I'll get her onto the true faith; rev-matching, heel-and-toe goodness...

Nothing like a little bro to clown the big sis...Love you Jill! I enjoyed your visit out to the land of Modesto heat...jet exhaust shimmering off the pavement heat. God bless!
