Okay so there might be a very good chance that I will be replacing my civic within the next couple months. The new car I am highly considering is a 95-98 240sx, 5 speed of course. I guess the main reason I want something like this is because I come from a family of RWD Domestics. Well Its still an import for my sake but I love the extra take off traction. Also I think the body styling is pretty sweet on the S14. And I have been doing some research and it seems that you can get just about the same amount of after-market support you just have to know where to look. Anywaise opinions anyone?

 

i would go for it...i have been wanting to do either a s13 or s14 project for a while now...

 

yeah, do it...my cousin has two 240 and they're really fun to drive

 

240's are pretty sweet, i wouldn't kick one out of my driveway... i like the S15 the best, but coudl we even get the S15 in North America?

 

i dont think we can get the s15's over here....well, i guess you could, but they would be legal.
of your could just buy one thats over 15 years old.....so a '90/'91

on second thought Sandrider123, just get a '90 Skyline!! ive seen a bunch of em for sale over here!!

 

^yeah but US laws are different then here in Canada, they can get and drive R34 Skylines in the us they just have to moify them to emmision regulations. they do'nt have the 12 year old rule that we have

 

Well I am hoping to get a budget of about 7-8k and then when I sell the civic I will use some of that to pay back the loan and some to start mking it better like a SR motor.

 

get the 240 man if you want it. if you have the money, id say go for it

 

Just turbo the Ka24 motor that comes with the car. It will make as much power or even more than the sr20. my friend is a 240 freak and i\'ve been looking into those cars too. I drove his car and it handles nice with the tein\'s he has on. Very nice torque too. I say go for it.

 

the ka24det does have more power and more torque than a sr20det....
