lol. I'm just curious how many of you have been in my position. This is my first time back on these forums in about a year. Some of you may remember me, some may not. I used to have an S13 w/ an R34 RB25DET. I totalled the car and shortly after my partout, I went out and bought myself a brand new 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9. After working all year and fixing the Evo up, I've realized this: Damn... I'm not nearly as happy with the Evo as I ever was with my S13. lol. So now I'm on the hunt for another S13. :bigok:
It's funny, after I crashed my 240, alot of people were like "yenno... you're gonna miss that car" and at the time I would be like "why? that car was a pain in the ass to work on and own." lol. And here I am.
So who's switched away from a 240sx and come back? What'd you get? Show some pics!
Anyways, here's some pics of my S13 and some pics of my Evo.

For refference, a stock Evo dynos around 220-230whp or so on the Dyno Dynamics dyno over at Speed Element. After everything, I ended up at 326whp/320wtq. So a little over 100whp over stock. STILL... dont have as much fun driving this car as I did my S13. lol.
Here's some pics of my old 240 for those who have never seen it...

Man, sounds like me except you've had faster cars >_>
Anyway I had a '97 custom silver paint with coilovers, nothing special. Totalled it while I fell asleep on the freeway (I know, I know) Sold it for $2,000 without rims and the whole front end was screwed and had a bent frame. Luckily my nismo LM GT4 rims were ok.
Went on to go buy an '01 S2000, didn't really mod it except exhaust. Everything was just too expensive for the car. Especially insurance (400+ a month, it sucks being 18) So I sold that car and I missed the fun I used to have from my old 240SX and recently bought another.
Present day I own a '98 pearl white 240SX and have had it for a couple months now, no regrets.

No current pics of my 240SX now, but it's nothing special just LM GT4 rims off of my previous car.
Before you guys flame me for being 18 and having my 3rd car one of which being a S2000, in my defense I bought all of these cars with my own money.

had a cheap peice of crap rusted frame 89 hatch, gave it away for tax deduction after hitting a light post. Had a 90' notch back 5.0L stang. Supercharged it (round 350hp I think, wierd ass throttle response from the centrifugal). Sold it to a dumb half-freind and he totalled it like a month later. Bought my best friends brother's 95' zenki with about 15-20K in it (all installs done by him or me) for 7K. Couldnt pass up the deal, plus Ford's 302 motors are sooo boring. and the wiring was all messed up in the car, so it gave me a nice project (clutch was gone, and turbo was loose on the flange actualy).The 302 is too easy to build and I had/have a serious hate for the fox body stang crew. Im to young to be an old hick (im 20) that hates on anything non-american (no offense). I like whoopin a$s in a little import, everyone stares down 5 oh's and wonders whats up when they hear the grumble and lopey idle. Its just no fun. I much prefer the moderate challenge of keeping my zenki in good shape and re working all the wiring and just doing the general repairs really wealthy kids that dont pay for stuff seem to forget, opposed to bolting crap onto a huge retard-proof motor that you cant really ruin if you try. Just my thoughts, not to offend anyone that likes stang's.. Just not my cup a tea.
BTW: Huge props for the s2000 ^. I love those cars so much. I would probably have to mod it if i had one (friend has turboed one with built motor running 10.2:1 compression, 300zx diff kit and all types of shit) but those cars are dollar for dollar the most fun car to drive stock. Shifting at 9K is a hell of a feeling, i got no built head on the 240 :(. My other friend actually flipped one and walked away too. I give the s2000 two thumbs for sure, theyr cheap used now too.

I've had my 240 for a few years now, but during our "off" times (when it decides not to cooperate/etc) I drive the z06, my Tacoma, and my roomie's SC300... I love the vette's stability and brakes, I love the truck's 25mpg with A/C and seating for 5, and I love the SC's leather, tint, A/C, and torque. Not to mention the GSXR1000 for all those nice afternoons in the canyons, runnin 10sec 1/4's, or doin wheelies...
None of 'em hold a candle to the enjoyment I get driving my car. It's just special to know that I've tooled on every goddamn part of that car. The suspension's tighter than the z06 and makes me want to try and outdrive it, the motor makes those beautiful noises and revs forever (believe it or not, the powerband on the z06 sucks... it's like 3500-6000, then you have to shift before 6500 or the rev limiter goes bananas), the seat holds me perfectly (interior in the other rides sucks, especially the z06), and every time I park somewhere someone tells me how cool the car is/etc. It's goddamn special.
Plus when you're not driving a 240 and you wave to a 240 guy, he immediately thinks you're gay/a cop/both/etc... it's just not the same :)
Edit: Sorry to shit on kid's parades, but anyone that's actually driven a stock s2000 will tell you how tired they get of having to rev it all the way to the moon to get any power out of it. If you ask me, it's dollar for dollar one of the WORST cars to drive stock. Get a 350z or a c4 vette.
Dollar for dollar, the best ride is a 2001-2004 GSXR1000 or Honda CBR929RR (if you're a newb). Both run 10s, are mechanically idiotproof, and cost less than $5000. Done, and done.

Holy shiet, thought you sold the car. I remember you were trying to sell that car forever. I remember looking up craigslist to see how much people were selling theirs for and i kept seeing yours thinking...i should have gone RB. I didnt know your wrecked it, just thought it was sold. I remember your car because there was another RB'd car that was in the market but it was a S14.
Anyways, I sold my car and im back in another S14 thats better than the last one...

Dollar for dollar I'd say it's the best car you can get stock, because no doubt it's an amazing car. Reving to 9k never gets old in my book, but struggling to get power gets annoying. But on those highway races the s2k doesn't shine more, drop it into 3rd at 75 and it takes off. For being an amazing handling roadster that thing sure is fast. Hard to figure out to launch because you're supposed to launch at 7k :loco: But I missed the pure fun I got out of my Kouki so I got another one the s2k was just an adrenaline rush that got old.
But if I were to buy another honda I wouldn't buy another s2k, too many people have them NSX all the way.
Edit: Last time I checked we were talking about cars? Bikes don't compare in terms of performance or price.

I only leave my S13 for short periods of time since it's my track rat and I have a daily now. I don't think I'd ever part with it... hence the outrageously high asking price in my sig.
It's about seventeen times more fun than my 325iS.

Started with a brand new s13 240sx hatch back in 1993. Traded it in for a Maxima in 1998 because I thought I outgrew it. Had immediate seller's remorse so I bought an s14 in 2001 and another s13 hatch in 2005.

lol. You'd be surprised how many ex-240sx owners are on NorCalEvo.net... I'm giving them about a year before they try to go back to a 240sx. The Evo is an awesome car to drive that makes decent power for not alot of money and it handles amazing... But there's just something about it that just doesn't feel as good as a 240. lol.

Before you guys flame me for being 18 and having my 3rd car one of which being a S2000, in my defense I bought all of these cars with my own money.
from the disperse of a will...
naw jk..
haha
I have never really driven a car for the money that will hold up to my standards for a FUN car to tinker with. I like the way the s13 feels like a go kart on cocaine with rocks for suspension and I love not knowing if the car is going to overseer or under steer and kill me with 400hp at my back etc.
its great.
Everything else is just civilized and for the most part slow or heavy /$ for my liking.
I remember a couple people going sc300 and selling the within a year to ogo back to s13 coupes for track cars.
Its personal preference I guess. Ive been doing 240s for 6+ years and nothing fits quite like it now.
if I could afford to tinker/tune/beef up Z06 last model not the most recent that would be a nice little preference.
Id like to try a skyline some day (maybe the new one)

It's a vicious cycle, you can get tired of the car and then get rid of it, but sooner or later you WILL be looking to get back into one, if only because you're tired of seeing people mess them up, or you realize that you loved more than you hated about it.

HA i was just thinking about this. My first car was 93 Fastback slushbox which I loved but unforunately got totaled. Then I got a DSM which was quick but a PITA to work on. That eventually blew up, so I gotta s14 zenki right after that. I loved the S14 because it was so clean and so little miles on it, only 36,000 when I picked up in Jan 2006. I drove that around for over a year with little mods and got into drifting with it. Sold for a huge profit to some kid, and now I have a mint 93 300zx TT. Its fast and gets me looks, but its just not the same as my slower s14 lol. I cant drift it because its too mint and I dont wanna kill the value of it, plus its my only car at the moment. So im thinking of selling it, getting a daily for school and what not, and build an S13 coupe. Or just get a beater s13 to daily and drift at the weekend events. Idk, this is a tough choice!!

i didnt leave my s14 yet but i want something newer but i think i would miss her too much..
btw how did you only make 326whp with all those mods i was at a shop with the same dyno, with a 9 with kn pannel filter and turbo back and a reflash and the evo made 340whp.. stock turbos ect..
you should of been well over 400whp range with all the mods you have..
not trying to flame or bash. but maybe your should look into it...

I started off with an 92 S13 coupe.. Tein Stechs, KYB AGXs, Z32 brakes f + r, other small stuff.. Sold that for my current S14. I have been thinking of getting rid of it for a while now. I'm sick of wrenching on it. At this point in my life I just want to focus on work and school. I just want to buy a new car with a warranty, and not worry about shit with it. I don't have a daily driver so.. yea. I love 240s and I'm sure if I leave, I'll come right back. Nothing else feels quite like my S14...My love for 240s is undying. I told myself.. If I leave the 240 scene, my next car needs to be RWD, or RWD turbo. I won't settle for any less.
I don't like the S2K. It's a drama queen. Makes way too much noise for no fucken powerband. My bro has an 05.. the 2.2L. I've driven it countless times.. I love it for the interior, and the "new" feeling. My car handles better, is faster, brakes better, etc...But I'll tell you what. I've only attracted ONE girl with my car, which now happens to be my fiance.. However, I've attracted more dudes than I can ever count with my 240 :cry: :madfawk: :rl:
:wtf: :faint:
I fell in love with Evo's when they first came out. The biggest turnoff for me having one is most evo and sti owners in the Mercerville, NJ area are big-headed. Their shit is the best, no one can touch them, blah blah blah.. Scumbags.. I loooove the car though :)
I've spent years to buy my S14 and all the mods.. I've earned every mod. I only respect people who earned their cars, mods, etc. I hate any "mommy and daddy" kids who think they are tough because their car is fast, or better because of watevs... Mommy and daddy bought your shit, so back the fuck up!!! Now you got me in a rant..
I wish there was a retrofit for the 240s to bring their interior up to par...
Oh yea.. what would I want next? Realisticly? An S15. You never said anything about Silvias =)

I used to have a very very nice S14. Lightly modded; the perfect daily driver.
I needed some cash, so I sold it for a huge profit in 2003 and bought myself an old Jetta GLi, thinking that an old German car might be fun to drive. I also bought a junky FC turbo2 to work on and make into a weekend racer.
I sold both those piles and after 3 other 240s, I'm back in an S14 and an audi A4 daily driver.
I should have never sold that first S14. It could have been a monster by now. Live and learn. But at least I have another one now that I have a lot more disposable income to throw into it.

I never really sold my 240 but I bought a E36 M3 in 2005 with the intention of putting my S14 into deep freeze till I had enough money to fix it up right. I sold the bimmer about 10 months after.

I am slowly coming back.
First car: 93 B13 SE-R Sentra, swapped in a Bluebird SR(FWD turbo) and did some suspension. Sold the car and made a huge profit on it.
Second car: 95 B14 SE-R Sentra, VVL swap and some suspension. Then I had a craving for a 240 so i swapped back the stock stuff and then sold everything.
Third car: 90 Hatch, such a dirty ass car when I first got it, high mileage body and SOHC. Put some wheels, fixed up the SOHC, did some audio. Wasted a lot of my money going out partying and on computers and electronics that I forgot my original goals.
Fourth car: 01 G20 manual(hard to find back then). Wanted a daily while I could make the 240 a track car. After a month it I got into an accident where both front and rear end were damaged.
Fifth car: 06 Sentra Spec-V. Still needed a daily and after the g20 was crushed I sold the 240 to help get down payment. Now I am trying to sell this car now so I no longer am wasting 700 a month on FWD.
Next car? Saving up to import something so in the mean time driving a Chevy truck. NO MORE FWD PLEASE. Might pick up another S-Chassis car soon to go out on the track again.
Fuck thats long.
Moral of story? Don't ever buy FWD, it will never be fun.

hehe. I'm looking for another S13 for daily driving. Putting too many miles on the Evo. I've only owned it for a year and I have 22k miles already.

my first car was a 89 240sx back in 1996, put an SR in about 1999 crashed in 2000. almost bought a 1997 se but decided to get a civic cuz of the availability of parts back then. put a 194 whp gsr in the hatch. it was fun and fast but nothing like the 240. sold the civic in 03 and bought a sc300. that car was fun but i sold it in 05 and bought a 1998 240sx. (should have just bought the 97 back in 2000 would have saved my bank account a bit)

i never had a 240sx before i bought my first car but it used to be a 2003 evo and i had to sell it do to some problems but now i have an s14 and i love that car, its not done yet but almost it will get there. i miss the evo i wish i had both of them. but oh well my s14 will be faster than it but i dont think it can handle as good.

I want to buy a newer car i'm tired a little of my 240 but this year I don't know, i take a look into the bmw, and I fix my 240sx during that time and I see how my car run good and I luv to drive it... It feels better and better every time I work on it.
I see this thread and I think i'll keep my car and buy another and keep it as daily and 240sx for w/e..
This is always a question of money.......but you have to do some sacrifices.

i drove the 240 from about 17-20, then it started giving me shit, so i parked it, planning to sell it. i bought a volvo 850 and rolled around in that for a while, then it started having electrical issues, so i sold it. then i bought an infiniti m30 which turned out to be cursed. it's dead now. so now i'm borrowing cars until i rebuild the 240. groan.

bought a 1991 240sx LE fastback[red] from a friend of mine for 900. it was a piece of shit, found another LE, mint condition. as the years go by i modded it. friend curbed it because he said "my lights weren't bright enough," so now it's waiting in the garage waiting to be sold while i drive a boring ECHO.

I'll try to keep my story short.
I bought my first '89 S13 hatch last year in May. Being 17yrs old, with no license, insurance, hell...not even a PERMIT, the car sat for around 6 months before I was finally able to drive it. Paid $2500 for it with no help from my parents. Saved up money for over 4 months with a minimum wage job working 40+ hours weekly.
Here it was super clean and stock.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/XxXxXAtreyuXxXxX/1989%20Nissan%20240sx/100_2291.jpg
This car was AMAZINGLY clean as all hell. It took me over 6 months to find one in that condition, but it was well worth it.
Little by little, I modded the car with whatever money I made from my old job. Before the end, this is what my car looked like:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/XxXxXAtreyuXxXxX/000_9343.jpg
Then, a taxi cab decided to run a red light going at about 45mph and left me this nice dent:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/XxXxXAtreyuXxXxX/000_2048.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/XxXxXAtreyuXxXxX/000_2044-1.jpg
I got mad, so I pretended to be the Incredible Hulk for a second and punched my car:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/XxXxXAtreyuXxXxX/000_0535.jpg
I ALMOST went with a B13, but I decided against it when I found my current hatch.
'92 S13 hatch w/41k miles(when I first bought it 3 months ago).

Now, after 3 months, it's already had a sex change, almost full suspension, swapped interior, and more.

but then I kept it and bought a black '00 range rover hse. All the room I could ever need, easily tows broken down cars around on a trailer, and best of all is I can take it snowboarding. Lovin both my cars!
I'm glad I did not sell the 240. My friend(owns 2 starions) always made me try to picture someone else driving that car, in which we put together all by ourselves.

I bought a 2002 nissan xterra this was about 6 months ago I wanted the xterra to go snowboarding then a bunch of my friends got their project cars going and now i am driving a suv. I have tried to sell the xterra twice on ebay with no luck I found another S14 for a good deal, so as soon as I sel it I am getting the S14 I like the s13 but there are about 6 around my area and no s14's. ....plus I hate to say it but I really o miss wrenching on the damn thing.

http://cache.jalopnik.com/cars/assets/resources/2006/09/Ferrari-f430-fire-rear.jpg
After the car cought fire, I decided.. there is no better car for me, than the stock S13 hatch. I like how it feels, stock. I mean, the KA has so much power - its all in the torque. Honestly, it FEELS faster than my Ferrari.
Oh how I love my S13.

Eventually I want to pick up an s14 in the future, but I doubt that will happen with people crashing them left and right, and a possible crack down on gasoline powered cars in the near future. Who knows, maybe we will be too stupid to do anything about gas and pollution by the time I have the money :D

i did this exact same thing. i regretted it. i crashed my 240 in 2000 or 2001 and bought a 96 civic cuz at the time parts were cheaper. well i put a built b18c in and it was damn fast. probably faster than my 240sx but it still wasnt very fun. you have to rev the shit out of a honda motor to go anywhere. i ended up selling the civic for a sc300 than after that back to a 98 240sx

My first 240 was a s14, the engine blew and it went back to the dealers.
Drove a Dodge stratus for about 6months until I bought my first s13.
Fixed up the s13 and sold it. Bought another s13 fixed it up and sold it for profit. Moved to the islands for a year and really didnt need a car. Now Im back in Georgia driving a 2000 cavalier. Its a nice A-B car but it will soon be sold.
I want a new car but its something nice about having a car paid off.
Most likely will be driving:
a)Another s14
b)Toyotas or Nissans new RWD coupe
c)or this bad boy! (I NEED a convertible and Spyders are under 10k now)

My first car was an S14, similar to the one I have now, except it was stock. Knew nothing about cars or engine swaps or suspension or anything when I bought it, didn't really care.
Decided it was too slow one day, and bought an MR2 Turbo. Did a bunch of stuff to that... TD06, coils, etc. When I went to college, I was forced to sell it because I no longer had a way to pay for it and nowhere to put it.
With the money left over from that, I bought a Mazda 323 GTX for a daily. Turbo, AWD, and 2600 lbs. was pretty fun; no one ever expects a 20-year old Mazda hatchback to blow-off at them. :p Bad crank key-way eventually killed that car, though.
I then decided to get another S14 since my first one was the most fun car I had owned up to that point, despite being the slowest. Since SRs, KA-Ts, and RBs are so common now, I figured I could have my cake and eat it, too.
The rest is history, I suppose.

Wow, its sad to see 240s busted up cuz when you do see one and it looks good, your like damn.
But for me, i've always had 240's.
S13 hatch - overdrafted my bank just to buy it....non-running. Had it for almost a year and did nothing with it. Sold it later.
S13 Coupe - Ran for two days, engine blew, not my fault. Was down almost a year, got back up running, now its down again. Still have it
S13 Hatch - Bought it cuz i needed a daily. Took it to my first drift event. FUN! Later sold it.
So i had pretty much S13's thus far. I plan to keep my coupe though, love those cars. I dont ever see myself buyin another hatch, but a coupe yes.
COUPES FTMW.

i owned 3 s13's and then tried my hand in the rotary game for 3 yrs with a 94 rx7 that i ended up modding WAYYYY too much for my own good and dumped it to get outta debt again and then bought my current s14 in cash with the extra money leftover :) 240's are just good / cheap fun, ya can't go wrong

i love my s13, i have mine stripped so even a stock s13 feels soft and comfy, i miss that, but when i rip it and run after bends it is just so much fun. I love speed.. I love fast cars, even though my s13 isnt that fast.. but hey.
Only car that tempts me some is a 300zx maybe, after seeing SPL's car. I wonder if an s13 can be made as fast as that beast lol..
I've considered an FD rx7 and s2000... but i dont know...
I plan to go all out (as i already have spent so much on it, its like im already in the rut), and do an ls1 swap, finish of all the suspension and brakes work that i plan and yeah... if it still sucks compared to a z06/ferrari/carrara gt/spl 300zx, lol ill trade it for a better car or something :P

I bought my 91 Mazda 626 5 spd for 200 bucks before I even got my license and it was a blast to drive sold for a grand in 2004
Bought my 2000 corolla 5 spd in 2004 because I was sick of the old car problems
Sold that in 2006 for my 1998 kouki AT and hated driving it but loved the handling... its in the driveway getting an MT and JIC coils
Future plans are suede dash and suede/leather z33 seats, complete interior redesign then KA-T

boy....lots of great stories! and lots of sad ones...it hurts to see some wrecked 240's out there.....but glad to hear the comebacks! My story is...my friend had a stock 240 in high school, and i always loved riding in it! drivin it once, and loved it! unfortunately..like some of the earlier posts from our members..i bought an s2000 back in 01 and eventually sold it 3 years ago....college times can be rough on your wallet! high insurance rates, no money for maintenance, parts for that car is expensive as shit! Great car tho out of the box! Now that im out of school and working....picked up a 240 hatch and never will look back! ima keep this thing till im old!

i have had my 240sx for about 3 years now. i purchased it with an sr20det in it already :( . well after time i heard the turbo making bad sounds. i thought it might have been the motor so i splurged and bought a 350z and parked the 240 :(
now i have a 350z that is draining all my income and a 240sx that is almost ready to run again. once i get the parts for it i will get it road worthy and get rid of the z :O

GOt into an accident (sorry no pics) and decided to go SR. DId that, but everything on that car either broke or was going out.
Sold it and drove a civic then sold that and got a 99 olds intrigue (ballin status...no)

I had a 89 hatch stolen and curbed, got it back, sold it, then bought a '92 E36 2 door auto. Nice as hell, but not as 'raw' as the 240. sold it, same day I bought my lovely '92 Coupe. After 2 years of learning how to wrench on it (never would have learned on the bimmer) All I need is a paint job to match the Silvia front and bodykit. Been a little rough lately with the daily driving on a slammed Stance suspension AND bodykit. I just REALLY need to paint it. Been thinking of either selling it and getting a manual E36 2or4 door black Bimmer again or getting a auto 4 door E36 for my daily and see how that works out. Haven't really got to "drift" my car at any events in the worry that I will break my daily and be screwed for a bit. Oh cars.....you wacky cars you.

Haven't posted here in a while, but this thread applies to me...sort of.
Had a S14 several years ago (2001 ish?) for 3 months. Got hit by a crazy woman, totalled by insurance. However, now a friend of mine drives it (long story).
Bought a S13 hatch, tree fell on it and damaged the hatch door. Sold it to a friend in Maryland. He's using the motor in how current car, iirc.
Bought another S13 hatch w/ Hicas a few months later (mid 2003 iirc). Swapped rear subframes, upgraded suspension, bought lighter wheels/better tires, drove it like hell, then sold it b/c I wanted something lighter and better on gas....but RWD. Solution? Miata.
Now I'm thinking about selling the Miata and buying my friends S13 coupe. Always wanted a coupe...and this one is in pretty good shape compared to my previous cars. Only time (and money) will tell.

01-29-2008, 06:12 PM
i was in your position. i crashed my old s14, and was left with the decision of what next. i went down the line through them all contemplating and putting out all the pro's and cons of each. i looked into importing a car as well. i chose between an FD and an s14, or putting money down on a new Evo, G35, or 350z. i chose another s14 because i knew the car inside and out, i didnt want a car payment again, and i got a hell of a deal from a friend on my current s14. this coming fall ill be looking for a subie to daily, something inconspicuous.

went to a civic HB 93 (which was a daily\beater) which lasted my abuse somehow... sold it too

i had a hicas 92' fasback, sr'd coilovers etc. it was my first car and it was bone stock and only had 59,000 miles when i bought it. upgraded it, then totaled it before i even hit 90,000. then i bought a 90' fastback shell for $200. it was CHERRY, but it was stripped haha. this is my current build. i just got rid of my totaled shell today and made room for the s14 im picking up tomorrow.
i was looking into the new civic si as a daily driver. but when i test drove it, something didnt feel right. the very next day i sat in my friends sileighty, and BAM i was back into a 240 (the s14 im getting tomorrow)

I've been wanting to get an audi a4 quattro....
I forgot to mention I got an '02 A4 Quattro 1.8t this summer
It handles well for a boat with wheels i think its like 3500 pounds or so. Rain is where its at tho. Dunlop tires and an ECU Stage 1 Flash are all thats done to it.
I've read and found out that Audis (and most germans) are only reliable up to 70k miles. Afterwards you're looking at lots of costly maintenance. Mine has 108k and has burned 3 coilpacks in 4 months :down:

TurboGuy, how's the lag on the T88? That's an absolutely MASSIVE turbo, I know a lot of Supra guys tend to go for something a bit smaller because of lag issues. What's your experience?
Quite a bit different then the RB's powerband which has turbo from any RPM.
T88 came on pretty late but very violently. Boost started at 3500-4000 and climbed slowly to 4700 then it shot up to ridiculousness.
For the very few times I had the balls/stupidity to watch my tach instead of road when boosting, the 5000's went by in about .0001 seconds (exaggerated) straight to 6200 where it barely slowed down.
Coming up an on-ramp in 3rd it got a little sideways and i was able to straighten out but i didn't get traction again until it bounced off the rev limiter at like 75mph
Every person I gave a ride to was a little bit shaken up and little paler when getting out. It was great. They all loved the G-Force smacking 'em into the seat. Some tried to touch the dash but no one was able until i shifted.
The turbo came on the car when i bought it and I loved ever terror filled second of driving it but I wouldn't recommend it for the street. When I rebuild it for the track it will most likely get a 67dbb or something like that.
Although due to the lag it helped keep me out of boost while driving around town, lol. So a little bit of an upside with better gas mileage...I guess?

well i had a 12 sec eagle talon TSI then a 332WHP evo 8 and now a hatch s13 and looking to buy a coupe this weekend. i was forced to buy the s13 after being in jail for 6 months came home to find my evo had been repod so i needed a car and fast. so i bought an s13 figuring it was cheap and a sportscar so i would just have to settle for it. well my attitude has changed after owning my s13 for a little over one month now, i realize the potential and love the feeling of RWD. i guess what im trying to say is that i thought i was settling for a beater but in actuality it is the best car i have owned of the 3. sure the evo and TSI were fast but there is just something about the S13 i really love

Okay, this is so weird to post what I've been driving.
First: 1987 Toyota Cressida
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/8189/oldms6.jpg
Then sold it because the tranny was pretty much crap and I really wanted a 240. -Note, picture was taken after being sold, new owner put on mesh rims, lowered it, and cleaned up the paint on the bumpers.-
Second: 1989 Nissan 240SX Hatch
http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3069/lf65d19fa5fab28e2446e5acm0.jpg
SOHC blew up, many issues with the SR swap (7 months since the SOHC blew up and still not running. SR swap started back in November). My boss that sold me the car felt bad so he let me daily drive the company van for awhile. Had 2 special addition Kicker L7's with like a 3k watt amp, extremely loud, had some fun with that.
Third: 1996 Ford Econoline TurboDiesel Cargo Van (SRT Motorsports)
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/340/163685806ltd4.jpg
-Note, picture is photoshopped.
-Lift kit was put on the van. Also extremely dirty now.
The van had a huge oil leak and leaked all over my driveway, parents made me return it and my brother bought an Audi TT
leaving me with this
Fourth: 1994 Toyota Pickup
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1538/95toyotatruckja4.jpg
(Not actual picture/color, color is blue and is much more faded and such. 280,000 miles on it and still running 100% strong. Gotta love the 22RE)
so technically I haven't exactly left the 240...just haven't finished it. I know 3 months is a long time for a swap, but I'm only in high school. I only got the engine because I got $2,000 out of that front fender damage.
You know how insanely frustrating it is to have a 240 for 7 months that doesn't run? Anyways, yeah, the van was pretty kickass, got a lot of ladies with that.
i'm trying to get rid of my s14 for an evo8. hope i dont come back to a 240. From the evo8, hopefully i'll finish school and have a decent job by then (2011); i'll buy a 08 e92 m3 =O

I've wanted a s13 since 1998 but ended up with a maxima. Didn't get my first s13 until 2004.
So:
1998-2005 - maxima
2004 - 1st s13, sold in 1 month
2005 - 2nd s13, sold in 8 months
2005 - 3rd s13. It sat for a year -- needed a new engine. my daily since beginning of this year (2008).
2006 - In dec. 06, I bought my certified pre-owned '04 IS300. Got tired of putting miles on it so I fixed the S13.
I'm looking for another s13 hatch for DD so i can 'restore' my current s13.

1991 240sx coupe, rusted to shit, parted
1987 300sx sold same price I paid
1988 200sx junked
1990 240sx traded for 4 wheeler, sold for 3x what i had in the car
1995 240sx gay, traded for s10
1994 s10, put a 350 in it, traded for a prelude
1992 prelude, pos, wheel fell off
1995 honda del sol, junked
1992 prelude si4ws, had for 4 years, put $25k into, sold for $6k
1999 cadillac deville, current daily
1993 f150, parts hauler
1993 coupe, just put deposit down last weekend
Will always come back to a 240sx, easiest to work on and parts are cheaper than everything else.

Okay so I turned 16 (i had been getting into trouble lately...) and my dad gave me a matchbox car and said thats the closest thing i'll get to a car until i'm 18... Yea, Fucked up huh!? So i decide to buy my own pos.
1st car = 1989 Pontiac LeMans... Didnt run, got her running huge piece of shit, threw the rod out the bottom end running it too hard to school one morning. total -$650
2nd car = 1992 Del Sol... thought i was the shit, i was a stupid ricer, modded it and blew out the bottom end about 6mos after i bought it. Put it up for sale, it got stolen, recovered it, got stolen again! ended up in virginia with the dude who stole it asleep in it! he got arrested i got an insurance check. Total -$5000 +$2800 insurance = -$2200
3rd car = 1993 Geo Tracker... hard top roof, 5sp, rwd, it was a blast driving the piss out of this thing in highschool... sold it for twice what i paid for it a year later. total -$1600 +$3500 = +$1900
4th car = 1993 S13 fastback. Loved this car, just getting into real driving and performance. Dumped a few thousand into it. Blew the rings on one cyl. Should have just used a can of ring repair shit, but parted and sold it. drove it for a year. Broke even on this one. $0
5th car = My dad is tired of me spending time and money on cars so he says if he buys me a car he gets to pick it, i'm like okay sure. So he gets something he KNOWS i cant race, nor do i want to. Its a 1998 Acura 3.2TL. I call it the Blacura, its big, its black, its 4dr, automatic, heavy, FWD and not something i can jack with. he paid $5600 for it, it was pretty reliable for 2.5 years, I sold it for 1800 after it started breaking down, got to keep the cash for down on next car. +$1800
6th car In between the blacura i found a S13 coupe and offered the dude to buy it, he said "now i know what this thing is worth" trying to be a hard ass "I wont take a penny less than $750"... i about choked and ran to the bank, bought it cash the next morning. Turned around 3 weeks later after just playin around in it an a dude offered me $2500 for it. I had to take it. I hadn't transfered titles or even put gas in it! just too much profit for not doing anything, coulda kept and modified it, but didnt. it was bone stock. total = +$1750
7th car. My older brother knew the Blacura was crapping out so he gave me his 1988 Honda civic hatch. It was so shitty, but honda boys loved it. bone stock, origional owner, 1.5L 5sp pure honda hatch. Light weight base model didnt even have a pass side view mirror, it was BASE model. Turned out the drive from arizona to dallas killed the little thing, in 4 weeks time i replaced valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, battery, cap/rotor/wires, full detail, and then the alternator went so i said fuck it and let my bro's girlfriends brother have it (he lives in dallas too) total = -$500 in 3 weeks!!! FUCK HONDAS
8th car My pride and joy, a Kouki S14. This thing popped up on craigslist and within 48 hrs i had purchased it. it was perfect timing, and EXACTLY what i was looking for for the past 4 years. Kouki with SR, no moonroof, not black, and nice straight body/interior. Turns out it had a bunch more goodies that i was looking for which was an added bonus, and was worth every penny i spent on it. Total -$10,000 +lots more mods equaling another $5000.
So here I am 23 and finally have the car i've been wanting since highschool. only took me 8 freakin tries!

So yeah I did the same thing kind of:
1st car: '89 Hatch that I sold
2nd car: '06 Subaru WRX that was t boned and totalled
3rd car: '92 Coupe that's slowly turning more into a track only car, I rarely drive it on the streets, only to meets and the track.

My first car is still around, its a 91 B13 SR20DET Bluebird its now my brothers:

Then my dad and I built this NX2000, SR20DET GTI-R as well, he supplied the funds I put her together:

My first car use to have a GTI-R in it, but as boost went up traction went bye bye. Car was fun as hell, but I wanted something that could put power to the pavement. I started out looking for a rolling chassis GTI-R to put together since I have the motor, hood and drivetrain for it, but the company I put a order in with dropped the ball and I ended up getting a refund just in time to scoop this baby up on ebay for $1k:

Since then I have been building it, no SR for this car wanted something new and that could be more powerful so I went with a VQ, here is the link for those of you havent seen it:

So I guess I never left, I dont think I ever will and I have never driven a S chassis car lol.

I've only ever owned a 240sx so I have not left
1st. 89 pignose hatch se sohc w/220,XXX on the odi. No mods, just drove the shit out of it. then found..
2nd 89 pignose hatch base sohc w/174,XXX on the odi but in better physical condition. Modded it: SR, C/Os/FMIC etc etc..
Sold my first one to a buddy. I miss that car even though the one I have right now is in better shape and has mods. With as much money as I've spent on this car my will, will state that the car be crushed and shaped into a coffin and I be laid to rest in it lol

I never left. :bigok:
I've only ever owned 1 240, my current S14. Going on 5 years with it and have pretty much replaced everything on it with either new OEM or aftermarket. I've went through 4 daily drivers in the 5 years but the 240 has always stayed. When a motor blew up I just detail her and put it in storage till the next motor is ready(in storage now awaiting 2.3L SR).
Other cars in those 5 years, all DD's:
98 Civic Hatch
97 Dodge Dakota V8
99 Civic Coupe
01 Lexus IS300

Following up on my first post on this thread. lol. I'm now on my 2nd Evo since my first one got rear ended and the guy totalled my car. I sold a bunch of parts off my 1st Evo and went with a completely new setup for this one... Yet... I still miss my gawdamn S13!!! ROFL.
Here's some pics of my current car.

Pretty much the same as my last Evo, except it's now running a GT30R turbo kit from ETS w/ HKS 272 cams, 1000cc injectors, blah blah blah. Got it to run 11.4 @ 122 at Infineon, but still something's missing. lol

haha. The red evo is actually quite janky. But you might be onto something about the character thing.

then I wrecked it twice in a week..both times indirectionally my ex-fiance's fault and was told I was not allowed to get another(by ex-fiance) found out 2 days later I'm gonna be a dad, so I end up with a 2000 Impala that isn't bad, I've even owned a minivan, but now that i've split from my ex, and don't have her control in my life, I want to simplify and get a 89-93 coupe and another motorcycle very badly with the coupe for the rare(unfortunately for now) daughter carrying duties

My 3rd car was a busted S13 coupe that I swapped an RB20 into. Made it a pretty fun street car.
Sold it for a Pathfinder (hey, I wanted comfort). Sold that for an A32 Maxima. Sold that for my current S13.

This is crazy because my firs car was a 89' S13 that already had a twin cam swap.. This was in 04, and it left such an impression on me that all the cars I went through till now have sucked in their own way. Had a EM1 with a b16b, blew the engine, then switched to a G35 but I could figure out what to do with it, so I traded it back in and let my brother get what he wanted(nothing interesting in the dealer.) Next week I am buying a 91' hatch and have big plans for it... (I CANT WAIT!)

Yeah. Hit traffic on Bay Bridge so I stopped, but was the last one in line, and the guy behind me was too busy drinking his coffee so he rammed into my car going 50mph or so and pushed me into the car in front. Damages came out to 19k so they totalled out my car.
i would think you would get more poewr out of your evo. what kind of tune do you have on it?
Yeah. I dont want the 240sx for power. I just want it for the joy (and pain) of having one, because I miss my last 240sx.
My Evo is currently tuned on an AEM EMS standalone ecu.

I went from my first s14 w/sr20 to an sc300 in hopes of a 2jz swap...got tired of saving money and bought another s14. sold it then bought another s14 (current car). I just built the engine on it and already have plans to sell it for an e46 m3.

Started out with an s14 as my first car after turning 16, thought I was mr. cool so I started drifting and I flipped the damn thing. L

Then I moved on to an s13 coupe.
[IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/picsfromphone027.jpg[/IMG (http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/picsfromphone027.jpg%5b/IMG)]
Then I crashed it, that’s the third front end on that car. But I did learn my lesson from the first car, so this car was equipped with a roll cage, but I never got the chance to flip it. HAHA

Then I got a s13 hatch with a rb20, all tricked out, then sold it and got a gay STI
[IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/picsfromphone.jpg
But I couldn’t stand driving an awd car, I felt the urge to slide the damn thing everywhere, but I didn’t want to crash it soo I got another s13 as a project car.

Then my friend hit my car at HIN demo while my other friend was driving it. L
[IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/HINinPleasanton036.jpg[/IMG (http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/HINinPleasanton036.jpg%5b/IMG)]
While I was fixing up the s13 coupe, I picked up an sc300 5spd blk/blk, Thinking I was gonna swap like a 1jz, but turns out the car was not what I’d expected. I think sc’s are just way to heavy and it’s not my cup of tea, so it just sits there and rot on my drive way.
[IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/Picture016-1.jpg[/IMG (http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/Picture016-1.jpg%5b/IMG)]
[IMG]http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/rosalindnguyen/Picture009.jpg
And now the s13 coupe is for sale, after when I fix it, paint it, ect. Sc300 will be sold when I come back for Christmas, hopefully.
And in the mean time I’m trying to sell the STI too, cause I don’t even drive the damn thing cause I work in Puerto Rico and live in Texas.
But…after selling my toys, Ill be in search of another 240 but maybe an s14 this time. Probably just for track only, and just hang on to it till I’m old. Thinking about an rb26 swap, awd, 1 million pt roll cage, with some 20’s -40 offset front and rear setup J.
But I truly think 240’s are the shit and no other car fits me best but it. I thinkI’ll be in my 50-60’s still driving my track 240 around.
