alot of honda people are crashing there 240s cuz they are driving it as if it was Front Wheel Drive , and cuz probably some of them dont even know that 240's are rear wheel drive.... its a totally different driving style....

and from what ive heard, when u spin out in an FF car, its easier to regain control, but in an FR, its much harder.. ?

IMO its harder to find a decent 240sx if your not going to swapthe engine, for ex: I"m loking for a another 240, being that mine is auto and has a bent frame, but i dont want to swap the engine rather work on the KA, finding a 91 and above is a ***** to find, but there are plenty of 89's and 90s, found one for 1000, only about 90k on the guage

ok, well, i'm jumpin on the bandwagon, i've had my 89' for 4 years, and they used to be really rare, no one even used to know what car it was. now driving around town i counted 7 different s13's and probably 4 different s14's, most of them are bone stock... i guess we've got to face that we're becoming a popular car, & not a rarity

*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.

coincidentally, I was referring to Arizona - where I got my S14 LOL
