damn this thread has just about falling off....
well, im back in korea. i ripped the front bumper off my Z 2 days before i got back. i drank too much and was trying to show off in a parking lot when i ran over a little curb and pretty much ripped all of the under-plastic out from the front of my car, of course screwing up the bumper in the process.
it's all good though, it didnt mess up the alignment or anything and i have a year to buy a new bumper....

Haha well I'm actually gonna be looking at a JDM S2000 when I get back. I really want to get a Nissan Silvia S15 but it maybe a bit out of my price range. How is the weather in Seoul? I can't wait to freakin' go back in 10 days. Rain sucks here in Seattle LOL.

WOW! Free s13? Awesome man! If you ever decide to sell it, let me know. Or if you ever wanna go for a cruise haha. There is a white s14 for sale that I am looking at but I am worried about the gas mileage. Gas is pretty expensive. My buddy gets 27mpg in his S2000 so thats a big plus. You have any idea how the SR20DET does? Might be hard to stay off boost LOL.

nah, it's back in the states. i don't know much about them and im still doing my homework on it. i think im going to go with the sylvia conversion on the front end and dropping an rb26 in it. from what i have gathered, i think the whole build will cost less than 9k. that is assuming i get a decent engine and don't have to rebuild it or something. im pretty lucky too because my cousin has his own shop in my home town and will do the work for practically nothing. im going to take my time with it though. im in korea for another year...
the iphone goes on sell in korea on the 28th. i cant wait to upgrade

RB26? Damn baller. You could just go with a RB25 if you want to save some cheddar. Some 240sx guys are dropping the VQ motors in the car to mix things up. Personally I want a turbo haha. As for the IPHONE, I just read that on engadget.com. Are you gonna get it? I have the Haptic and its descent... I want a new phone since I broke up but leaning towards the Blackberry Bold. Damn I don't know I'll probably get the IPHONE. It's so easy to use, the only thing I hate is you can only run one app at a time.

as for the engine, im just considering my options. i won't make a decision until i do a lot more research. i do know that Ka engine is coming out though.
i still have to get a new front bumper/under-plastic for my Z and get that beast painted matte white before i do anything with the 240. remember i crashed it last month.
for the phone, i have the haptic2 and im extremely disappointed with it. i mean i had the iphone in the states and in germany and that phone works perfect for me, especially when linked to my outlook account. even if korea takes out the wi-fi like china did, the iphone is 100 x's better than the haptics IMO. 1/2 the things on the haptic, i can't even use because i can't read hangul.

it's hard to see in the pics but the black portion of my bumper broke and rolled under my car, ripping the under plastic back with it. im waiting to catch a deal on an authentic V3 bumper now. Nissan wants $1,599 for one 
i thought about putting an aftermarket bumper on but I decided to keep the Nismo appearance.
