You know you own a 240 when...
You're having issues with spark cutting out randomly on you in your s14 with an s13 motor on your one year anniversary, and you run your codes a week later to find that your OBDI s14 has an OBDII ECU, officially making your s14 an ultramutt of the S-Chassis.

Maybe that's just me.

You know you're a 240 owner if you've had a project car sitting in a garage slowly being built for the last 2 years and you still talk about how awesome it's going to be!

you know your a 240 owner when only one of you back tires is bald because you don't have a lsd, but insist on trying to slide around every corner in town.

You know you own a 240 when at a local car meet, your car is likely in the worst condition mechanically, and have multiple CEL codes and the motor sounds like its about to explode... yet your friends all gather around you and point their fingers saying "Drift."

you know your a 240 owner when your car does the following on a short 5 minute drive but seems to be fine driving an hour or 2 away

alternator cooks the battery and leaves you stranded at Arby's on your lunch break

clutch line leaks and makes it impossible to shift into any gear so you slam it into 2nd and now 2nd gear synchros are fu-cked

you can drive through a blizzard but when you try to drive to your friends house 5 min away in light snow, somehow the car gets stuck and holds traffic up and causes other drivers to get out and push. haha.

you know your a 240 owner if you never see anything sweet happen on the roads, you always have to be the dumbass that slides around every turn in the rain.

you know your a 240 owner if you never have a car worth racing try to race you. At least once a day i will get some kid in a minivan, a redneck in a truck that yells something, or some kind of compact 4 cylinder car thats slow as hell trying to race me but when i pull up to a porshe or a bmw, they just turn their heads and laugh.

you know your a 240 owner if you remove interior, install roll cage, remove ac, put on coilovers, install welded diff, do SR swap and still use the car as your daily driver

True. I had -316 just because I said something about not liking the Silvia front on a hatch.

Buying my 240 put me in debt, but I wouldn't give it up for the world.



You know you own an S13 when the guy in the minivan behind you pulls up to you at a light and yells, "You going to stop shooting at me anytime soon?" because your car backfires like it's its job.

^True story. Happened to me the other day. I just LOL'd and took off making sure to shift at about 5,000 RPMs just so it backfires louder.
