You did not mention wheels or bumpers, also must be stock or legal size, also I am not up on ITS but dont the 280's have to run FI vs carb if so you will need to back date to the system, you are cought in between IT and SP/EP its going to cost to go either way, if you want to go back to near stock a local member is parting out a stock 280 so he will have a lot of what you need, Paul B can get you hooked up. SP will let you go foward and use most of what you have (not sure about the carbs?) but till you spend a lot the car will not be very competetive, same for EP even more $$$. Also for school make sure you safety equip is up to date/rules, befor you go to school, have someone in your local club (tech inspector) go over your car/equip, to see what you need. That being said, chase your dream you will have a blast.
