Thank you all for your information! I will do some more research and see what I really want to do.

when you go to the drag strip, race track, where ever you go.
bet there is only 1-2 convertibles out there.
i like the idea of having a convertible, especially when ppl look over like "oh, its just a convertible" then i smoke the crap out of em.

True true....verts have their pros....and cons
Just replaced the burnt out drivers headlight...and realized the housing assembly was only being held on by 2....2 out the 6 nuts needed. Lol.
Now....gotta install the audio in deck so I can listen to things other then the radioo and static

So...after having this car for awhile now, I finally want to start putting money into it. I offically finished the 240sx build resulting in a 400hp 387ftlbs of torque with a 3071r turbo upgrade(from the gt28r) and bigger injectors, SAFC, fuel rail and some tuning. Now on to the muscle!
For the H/C/I set up, is a new Trottle Body recommended as well? Will I need to advance the timing a wee bit to handle the E303 cam or can I just slap the cam in and run it with out any tuning? Headers and exhaust is easy enough.
Sub frame bushing replacement is a must cause the is a flex-o-rific 'Vert. Rather then just getting lowering springs, it would be better to get struts as well, correct? Obvious answer is 'yes' but what are you guys running?
And go figure...power steering pump is goin **** up. PLUS leaking from the rack. Can I just replace an O right within, or is a rack and pinion set up replacement recommended?
I am mysteriously losing water as well. Gotta fill er back up every 3 weeks or so. Gotta look into that...
Thanks for your time
