Plans are to lower it first with coilovers which I'm still a little confused about, but before that replace bushings, steering arms, a-arms, get aftermarket anti sway bars, get a dogleg 5 speed, el dizzy, su carbs, peanut head with some head work, mild cam, header and exhaust. I'm really tempted to do a VG/KA swap maybe even a rotary swap. Honestly I'll probably keep what I have for now because it runs really good. I do have some ZG fender flares I got from a friend for $30 bucks just love the way it looks with flares I'm just on the wall about cutting such a clean car. My plan was to find a rustier one to cut up and flare it, if i do end up doing it I want to do it right and color match the flares. Fisch's SX Appeal sketch he made of the JDM S10 has been the modivation for me even getting a 200sx for a long time now.

Sorry for no updates hard to keep up with 2 forums and social media crap lol anyway, I been threw a few datsuns lately, traded the 77 620 KC Pizzazzy for a 1 owner 72 620 with some weird stuff added from the original owner that wasnt to appealing to me. Bought a 74 710 wagon L18 4 speed manual ended selling it to a friend in bend. 5 days ago I bought a 78 620 dually flat bed that has a KA24DE, 720 5 speed pretty quick for the added weight thinking of taking the flat bed off and finding a bed for it.

As for the 200sx I bought a clutch/pedal assembly just need a 5 speed trans also found a S10 Silvia grille on the Japan auction had to get it just waiting for it to get here.
