The black 5spd is a salvage car and the guys being real shady bout it so im pretty sure that ones outta the picture, but you guys think i should go with the auto? I was thinkin about going with the auto since the condition n all and everything else that was on there but then i was like auto, or 5spd at a light with a chick in the seat nexta ta men (haha) but i guess you can rev in an auto and shift a little bit, just no clutch.

do a swap youll learn alot and haveing the best condition 240 is really good cus all the little stuff you have to buy starts to add up..... your young you have plenty of time to save money and make it fast but if you do a mod i say coilovers. it wasnt mine but i regret it. it will help you learn your car better as your modding it to...

good luck 240 hunting

it's gonna be cheaper to swap a manual tranny into a decent condition automatic-equipped car, compared to getting a salvaged manual-equipped car that might have more problems in the long run

Hey guys i might be going to look at a 240 5spd in PA this weekend, probably saturday. This car is absoletely mint, the guy just repainted it and then he got a new car!? O well his loss is my find. Theres one problem, of course, when you let off the gas you hear a "noise". Im thinkin its the rear axel and if it is ill be havin fun rubuilding that haha. Cuz im gunna swap out the original differential and but one in from a z32, and then do the 5 lug conversion. Thatll set me back about 1200 but itll be worth it, and ill just start shopin around for the coilovers like you guys suggested earlier. Thanks for all the help and wish me good luck this weekend.
