Unfortunately no. I got rid of my 240 before I even knew about them. Hoping that there will be some future events that I can start going to and getting some good practice in. I suck.

Or buy something that's pretty clean for a more expensive price. And I also know a bit about cars..just not too much, do you guys just pick up the knowledge from working on it?

And I want an S14, with a kouki front end.
Well I'm 14 right now and I want to do a 240 project. But I'm gonna wait til I can drive and get a nice and clean one

auto-x = driving on a course made of cones that resemble a road course


drifting= burning tires sideways

haha thanks cool cool, so i think i'm going to go SR20DET, because simply I'm going to find a clean 240 with pretty high miles so i dont have to pay as much, then swap it out. i heard that sr20's are easier to mod and add on too anyways.

and my cousins friend has a black 98 kouki 140k but its automatic, hes asking 4k obo is that good?

yes get that car. will be a good first car, keep it automatic for a while and learn how to drive in traffic. then as I mentioned before start slowly modifying things after you feel comfortable driving.
