New CAR :)
Finally, after much searching, I found my 240. Its a 93 hatch in saphire blue with a carbon fiber hatch. It has 150 something thousand miles.
I paid 2200 for it, its very clean, but like other cars its age, needs new rear bushings. What do you guys recommend I do about them, I am pretty much a mechanic, just not certified and could do the work myself, but is there an easier way to fix that problem than dropping the whole subframe?

Congrats on the purchase. You can replace the bushings with sets like Nismo, Energy Suspension (I believe they offer them for our cars), stock, aluminum (SPL parts), or you can get the spacers which will stiffen it up a bit. You can get them through various companies as well (Circuit Sports, Peak Performance, Megan Racing, Kazama, SPL parts, etc). The spacers are cheaper and will help, but if they are totally screwed you will be better off dropping the subframe and completely replacing them now instead of waiting till its too bad and having to do it later.
