*laughs hard* yea.
every other guy in teamC4 w/ me are rotary freaks. :P
*shrugs* i came from a city of 10-15million to a town of 300k, so i'm just a lil surprised to see that large a percentage of 240's in a scene populated w/ hondas.

I spent about 3 months looking and 1 month actually car shopping before I found my 240. In total I probably spent 15 or so hours driving to find it. I almost bought a 300ZX, but couldn't find one without mechanical issues.

Also, to see in the left side blind spot on a 300zx, I have to crane my neck out the window or twist my neck way over my left shoulder. The 240 is much better about that.

No, but I will be going to Arizona to pick up a parts car to get the 5spd swap parts. Sadly I've got to spend $440 to get it shipped out here because U-Haul won't rent me a trailer, since my towing vehicle is a ford explorer. Sigh, I wish I had a Titan...or at least a Frontier.

edit...or a UNIMOG.

I saw mine on Ebay, with a reserve of $5000, but no one bid past $4100 (my bid) so instead of relisting, I called the seller up and asked to do the deal outside of Ebay... he agreed since he'd save on Ebay fees and such.

$4100 + $50 for gas for 2 cars (integra round trip, 240sx one way back to SoCal) and $20 for lunch for me and the two guys who went with me to pick Keira up.

$4170 total - USDM SE :p ;)

So you got a great car out of the deal and a road trip with your buddies, you made out like a bandit raine.
