Okay... I am 1 month and counting from picking up my car. Here's my questions.

1. Has anyone swapped seats from different cars into their MKIII?
2. Are stock rims from most Nissans the same fitment as a MKIII?
3. Best performance mods to begin are CAI and exhaust?
4. What suspension mods have you used and what is your favorite overall?

Thanks all. Here is a pic of the car I'm buying. A project but I hope to have some great pics of the progress in monthes and years to come.

1) The seat mountings on different model cars are not inter-changable.

2) Check the tirerack.com site to get the wheel fitments (lug patterns and off-sets)

3) Yes. Make sure the air coming into the intake is from 'outside' of engine compartment, particularly out in front of radiator. You will loose about 4-5hp if the air is picked up under hood, because hot air is less dense.

4) None. I have the TEMS, and I like the way it works.

Most 5 lug (FR configuration) Nissan rims should fit. My friend has hand-polished 300zx rims (minus center cap) on his' MKIII and it looks pretty good.

Not his rim but you get the picture.

I like this rim though, I'd use it.
