Might become a new 240 owner....
BUT I have one MAJOR HUGE HUGE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE complaint. Why is it that EVERY SINGLE 240sx I look at only comes with automatics? EVERY SINGLE one I've looked at (over 100 now) has been an auto. 2 were autos with 5spd swap. Why why why why why? Oh and Autos are the work of the devil.

I want an S13 I'm going to drop a sr20DET in there and make myself boost happy. Although nothing will ever be the same as the 2. =( Got damn it! I hate autos. EVERY SINGLE ONE IS A DAMN AUTO! It's bad enough to do an engine swap but a trans swap is just ridiculous... =(

i agree that it would be pointless to do buy an auto then do the engine swap only to have to change the tranny anyway. However, although highly unlikely, what if this is going to be his first manual and he wants to practice on an older/learners tranny first?

the mid 14's. Now do that with an SR-T and you won't touch the litres of a KA!
Been down this road ALOT!!! And do remember, it is an Alternative.
