Hey guys. So I will be graduating college soon and I would like to be getting into a different car. I will probably purchase a sky redline. So the 240 has to go. I am in no rush to sell this car, but if the right buyer comes along I am willing to part with it. I go to school in Newark, DE but I am from North East PA. So if people are interested I have a pretty wide range of where I can meet people.

You may notice some engine pictures don't contain the pullies. Those were taken before I put them on.

If you want pictures of anything specific let me know.

The car says 175822 miles on it but I don't know how accurate that is because when the previous owner did a gauge cluster swap he said he changed a resister around and now it goes up in kilometers. The speed does read correctly though. I think i bought it with 160xxx on it. I found this out at my first fill up when some how I thought i had 45 mpg haha. Turned out I had 45 kpg.

The car gets around 26-28 mpg on a mix of fun driving and to the store driving.

I never took it racing and the previous owner took it to the strip once where he ran 13.899 @102mph on stock t25 turbo.

The turbo was rebuilt about 2 years ago and is still working great.

All of the body work was done by the previous owner. Everything was taken off of this car during paint; windows, full interior, engine, tranny, all engine bay components.

Engine Mods:

* Greddy 3" downpipe
* Act Street Clutch
* Greddy V SPL FMIC
* Greddy Type S BOV with Hot Pipe
* Walbro 255lph Fuel pump
* A/C fan with adjustable thermostat
* Power Industries Radiator Cap
* Blitz Electronic Boost Controller
* Megan Racing Stainless Steel Header
* Tanabe Super Medallion Exhaust and Catco High flow cat
* New Bosch Platinum Spark plugs
* New oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, and front main seal
* Replaced Maf
* Greddy light weight blue pullies

Suspension Mods:

* KYB AGX Shocks with Tein S-Tech lowering springs
* Energy Suspension Full Bushing Kit
* Sandblasted, rebuilt, and painted calipers.
* Brembo D/S Rotors, Stainless Steel Lines
* Tranny was disassembled and inspected when it was out of the car and the first gear syncro was replaced

Interior:

* Custom Center Vent Gauge holder
* Autometer Phantom Boost, Oil Pressure Gauges, A/F gauge
* Greddy Turbo timer with install harness
* Kenwood head unit
* The seats in this car are not the standard knitted cloth seats, they are more of a velour type of fabric, and the drivers sear is NOT ripped or torn at all.
* Floor mats
* Optima Red top battery counter sunk into the rear floor,
* Repainted carpet black
* painted glove box carpet matching black
* door carpet inserts removed

Exterior/Body work:

* NO RUST - from Virginia
* 2003 BMW lemans blue paint
* Drift style side skirts and rear bumper
* Nismo style front bumper with enlarged hole for maximum intercooler efficiency
* Shaved side marker lights
* Shaved body lines
* 17" Tenzo-R Passion 5 gun metal rims, Practically new tires (replaced this summer) 225 front and back.
* Clear front marker lights
* Exterior trim pieces, wiper arms, and heat shield were all base/cleared black
* The side skirts are molded in, BUT the fenders are removable, if you look at the pictures closely you notice that the side skirt is cut, making the fender removable if needed.
* The front bumper was heavily modified to make sure the huge Greddy intercooler is used to its full potential, the bumper was also extended to make sure the air entering the bumper is not allowed to go around the intercooler, it is forced to go through it.
* Also, the front bumper bolts to the fender like most OEM bumpers, it does not wrap around the fender (like all other 240sx fiberglass bumpers are), the fender was cut making a lip that the bumper can be bolted to.
* Besides chips in the front bumper the body work is almost perfect.

Extras:

* Nismo Shift Knob
* Nismo oil cap
* Magnetic oil drain plug
* New booster and master cylinder
* New clutch master and slave cylinder
* Heat shield around master cylinder
* Short shifter
* Many extra parts and manuals
* 4 stock steelies with a lot of tread left on them
* box of extra or original parts. Lots of a/c components.

The Truth:
* The drivers door rubs a little bit on the side skirt
* The car is mostly set up for a/c but it needs to get the correct compressor. Included is a new receiver/drier and belt to go on when it is time. The SR ac bracket is also included
* There are a few trim screws and clips missing, mainly in the trunk, but I have a box of extra screws and stuff from a parts car that is included
* The car did not come with power windows so the previous owner cut a power window harness out of a parts 240sx and spliced it in, so when you remove the panel under the steering column that is what you will see that is not stock wiring, along with the Greddy turbo timer harness.
* All wiring is either soldered or assembled with crimped butt connectors, no wires twisted together

nice car, seen it around some...i'd rethink the sky redline a bit before dropping 33g's on one.

more like 30 and i have done a lot of research. Been through the forums of them and test drove it a few times.

unless you are getting a base redline its still gonna be 31k. maybe its just me, but ive driven them alot and can say im not too impressed and for that price, id go for s2000, e46 m3, 350z, C5 vette, 993, evo, sti. they just seem to geared twords the older crowd with not much performance enhacement available without getting a new turbo, but im sure you know but that tiny little snail is already pushing 18psi.

All the cars you described have been out for several years if not more. Of course there isnt a huge aftermarket following yet. and about the price, i failed to mention i will be using gm employee discount. So that brings it down to around 29k. I did test a few s2000 and although i like the engine/tranny combo of that car, i feel like honda failed on half the looks. The front looks awesome, nice fenders, nice headlights, long sloping hood. Then in the rear it just looks like they gave up, the read fenders are completely boring and the tails and trunk dont do much for me either. Just my opinion though.

s2000 has a very sleek look. try spoon or amuse, you'll know what i mean. i test drove years ago and i fell in love with it. great handling car.

since you're getting the gms pricing then I guess it isn't too bad, maybe its just that I feel that the japanese and euro cars fill that 30k sports car niche so much better. although I haven't seen to many in for service other than regular maintenince. idk, I guess I just would spend that much money on something else.
