Hey guys. I just got my 240SX. Which car would win, 95 Eagle Talon ESI non turbo or a SOHC 1990 240SX? Just joking, it's not one of those posts. I already raced this guy. My car is not doing good at all it's smoking even when I give it half throttle and today I feel like taking it out to the pasture and shooting it. It has 190,000 miles. I raced a non turbo Talon and I beat him by a carlength after getting a bad start and having to double clutch all through 4th. If I would have gotten in 5th he would have never seen me again. I'm disgusted, my car is the same car that beat 2 1st gen turbo eclipses in the same weekend, and beat an automatic Z28 in front of two other Camaros and a riced Civic. My car just isn't the same anymore. I bought a Blazer Xtreme so I would have a vehicle to drive around while my 240SX gets an SR swap, if I ever hear from the person that is supposed to do the swap. I don't actually have the Blazer yet because I ordered it brand new from my cousin's car dealership so would have a car with virtuall NO miles. I'd rather wait 6 weeks that buy a Blazer at a dealer that people ran the crap out of during test drives. I got it for $400 over the cost of the dealer. This really isn't my type of vehicle, but I thought I'd try something new. It should be here in a few weeks (I think the plant is located in Linden, NJ). Just thought I'd stop by and say hello tell you what's going on with me lately.

Here are some pictures of what the Blazer will look like.

Thank you BadMojo. I'll keep you posted about the SR swap. I live in St. Louis, MO and the person who's supposed to do the swap lived/lives in Kansas City, but he's temporarily in St. Louis but I haven't heard from him since he moved here. We'll see what happens.

The Xtreme only comes in 2WD form unfortunatly. I did order it with a limited slip so it won't be 'too' bad in snow.. I'm hoping
