[SeverX13]

ok so i was planning on doin a 3swap in june. but i recently got caught up in 240sx's again. and i cant decide if i should sell the celi and buy a 240. i want a 10s car really bad w/out buying a supra. and i know a 240 would be easier to build up and possibly cheaper. but i dont wanna sell the celi. idk

any thoughts or sugestions

^^ very nicely said. Couldn't have been said any better.
Anyway dude, you must be raking in some mad money if u plan on building upon the 240 to a 10 second car. Plus, this is a question I usually ask myself when I began modding: "Do I really need it", and "What's the purpose of my car?"
Don't forget dude, a car's just a car--a depreciating dollar value. It's not wise to invest so much money in a car because you can lose it like THAT. And with a 10-second car, your chances only skyrocket and you're 17 so i'm assuming you're probably a daily driver with your celica. Imagine the possible downtime on your car if u wanted to rebuild it from ground up.
It'd be cool if u picked up a 240, but take ur time with the modding if u wanna hit low times.
But IMO invest the money in a house or something, you're probably graduating soon and you don't wanna be broke and in debt payiing your tuitions and loans back after college/univ. while your other friends who thought in advance will have a nice condo/apt., 2 cars, and some even getting married and settling in and booming on their career.
Whatever you do bro, think of the outcome--car's are a great hobby and all and don't get me wrong; I LOVE IT. But it's not like you're gonna become a professional racer right? (Not provoking you not to if that is what you want to pursue) But first is first, make sure you're financially stable before doing something like that.
Take it easy bro.

I understand what all of you are saying. But cars are my passion. I plan on going to UTI in houston next summer for automotive and the street tuner course. i guess your grad project is to build up a car with nitrous and turbos and all that stuff plus paint and body kit. basically for a living i want to make cars faster and look better (going to shows, sponsors etc) anything involving making cars faster and better. But i dont expect a stock 3sgte to be running 10 at all. I am goin to keep my celica until i wreck it or it just dies on me. And i am willing to invest a good amount of money into my celi to make it the best it can be. If i was to wreck my celi, i would most likely get a 240sx, and if i haev the money ill get a supra instead. But right now i think ill concentrate on my celica until i get a steady well paying job. I was talking to some car enthusiest around my area and they were telling me about show car sponsors. There is some sponsor that sponsors people who are just starting out. So i am definatly lookin into that. Oh and a little bit off topic, if anyone is going to DWG 08, do you think its possible that we can room together? of course i will pay me half of the room. and im not sloppy,disrepectful, or anthing that some 17 yr olds can be. It can possibly be my last chance to go to DWG because next year i will be in houston. PM if anyone is willing to room with me.
