I know that enjuku is in orlando, but there are other shops in the area??? Also i have been street racing for 7 years now. i think i will go through withdrawls if i quit cold turkey. are there street racing groups down there? and do they get to actually race without the cops showing up? And to anyone who doesn't approve of street racing i am sorry and i don't approve either, but that doesn't mean anything. thanks for the help PHOTEK

Plenty of decent 240s for sale, shells, engines, parts... Good place to find local deals.

Autotrader works as well. If you wanna start out at the top of the class, I know a guy with one up on ebay who would like to keep it local, and not sell it to a kid who will smash it to smitherines... Asking a lil over 9500 =)

Good luck in your hunt.

Keys for find a good 240.

1. Must be able to test drive the car. Make sure the odometer works while driving it.
2. Interior in good shape = more money be willing to pay for what you get, the usual things are accepted cracks in the dash, driver side floor carpet foot friction hole.
3. Check engine at idle, listen for tinkers and the such.
4. Dont be afriad to check the oil.
5. Ask if they have maintenance records and receipts.
6. If it has mods, feel the seller out and see if you would trust their driving with your already owned vehicle.
7. Dont be afraid to ask questions, be up front with your intentions with the car, ask about past problems.
8. Check electronics, replacing lamps and lights can be a pain in a newly purchased used vehicle.
9. LOOK UNDER THE CAR, look in the persons driveway for leaks and fluid residue...

Erm, thats about all I can think of right now. Hope it helps out. If you knew this already disreguard but I thought I would put it up for those that didnt.. It's basic common sense, but sometimes the thought and excitement of a new car overrides common sense during the deal.

All in all enjoy
Kind Reguards
