hey im joey im in NC and i do not have a 240sx yet. i have drag raced for years and i am interested in drift. i drive an 89 prelude but its just gonna be a DD. so im in the mits of opening my garage and im looking for suggestions and if anyone in my area has a 240sx for sale i want the ones with the flip up headlights im kinda partial to those. Also im not new to forums in on preludepower and also importsnc.com so im new to here but im not to this type of site.

I am from Lewisville as well, good to seem some local people(even though I don't have a 240sx right now, plan on getting one as my DD at least eventually.) I live on Conrad Sawmill Rd if you know where that is. Shouldn't be too hard to find a 240, you are just looking for one from 1989 to 1994 if you want a S13, and look on Craigslist at winston, greensboro, or charlotte and autotrader and you should be able to find one for cheap. Welcome to the forums!

yeah i think i know where that is we should hang out sometime.

here is what it looks like right now. im shaving the moldings off and getting the body work done so i can get the car painted.




here i am with my team at the house...


right now the enige is pretty much stock other than an intake and a slight exhaust. but im not looking to spend alot on it now that im looking for the 240.

I go to ASU so I am not home too often but the next couple weekends I will be back, getting my suspension setup with coilovers and an Auto-x in Danville in 2 weeks. Don't believe I have seen either that Prelude or the Integra next to it, used to drive a Integra when I went to Highschool so probably would have noticed it heh. There are a couple guys that have 240's in the area I believe though, one guy on the forums lives off of Jonestown road I think, though I don't know if he posts much anymore.

Prelude looks nice though, hope to see it sometime, maybe this Summer would be the earliest.

sounds good. this summer we have big blow out in VA beach if your down for that. yeah just bc its fwd don't mean it has to be a DD it will still run. the only reason its gonna be my dd is bc im going to build a 240 drift car and don't wanna be tempted to do it on the street.
