Thumbs up Finally, I got one.

Driving home from school I caught something out of the corner of my eye. White, Coupe, 240SX, 1990. Walked up to her, 5-Speed, ~130,000mi, big 'ol dent in the door, for sale sign in the window.

To make a long story short, called up, lady wanted $2000, and I talked her down to $1250, Can't believe it! Took it for a test driver yesterday, all it needs is a new clutch, brake pads, and I can take care of the dent when ever I get the cash.

It's time to sell the ageing CRX w/ 203,000mi.

Can't wait!!!

What's with the whole "her" thing?

Nice buy, you can always replace the door for cheap.

I'm really happy that you guys think it was a good find! I'll get some pictures up when I pick it up on Saturday.

Plans? S13 front conversion. I don't want to make the same mistakes I did with my CRX, use cheap-o parts. HKS, Cusco, Apex'i, that's what I'm going for. And if it takes saving, then so be it.

277,000 OMFG!

hey playboy, what year was your crx? I'm looking into a 91 crx as my inter beater, i'm gonna go check it out this weekend. What are crx's known for?

Definately don't go cheap on the parts for your 240, if you're gonna do that than just leave her stock! She's a good ride to begin with. Any Questions let us know.

CRX is a 1990, black, wonderful body condition. Here's what it's got:

New clutch with ~400mi
New set of tires
AEM Short Ram Intake
Performance Header
New water pump & timing belt
New pedal bracket

I know you're a bit far away but if you'd like some pictures let me know

PS: Exhaust rusted through a few days ago right between the cat and muffler.
