get a 240sx, definitely. lots of parts and they have more potential to look good, IMO

Cool

Actually 240sx are becoming less common because of so many wrecks (amateurs drifting in public places).

The 240sx does have more power stock it puts out about 150-160ish but the stock engine costs alot more to build assuming that your building it since you dont wanna do engine swaps. Which would leave you with one option turbo.. you can make about 230-250ish hp which isnt too bad.

It just comes down to what your building the car for and how much you wanna spend because 240sx engine swaps cost more then civic swaps just letting you know for later on down the road.


im a fellow s13 owner.
