well finally got myself a 240!! its an 89, 5speed, black, alloy's, all power, sunroof, 125k, but engine clicks... for $500 still runs aight, also the driver window isnt working... anyone have an idea b4 i buy a new regulator for it? and i need some new bushings for the driver door.. a little off (saggy). interior is pretty clean actually, no rips or cracks anywhere... dont see any rust by spoiler but may be deceiving, i just took some pics but no digi cam so when i develop them i will put em up. Thought i would share

first off is to fix the little things, then either buy some suspension (coilovers) or exaust, dont know which though, have an idea? well thanx 4 readin!!

Awesome what a great deal :-D. I say get it running great and if your going to race it in any way, drive is stock for a while so you get used to it.

Congrats! that engine click is more than likely you timing chain hitting the chain guides..

Congrats man. Got a great deal it seems. What is the window doing? Last summer, mine stopped going up. Just fell to the bottom. I was going to just replace the motor, but found a motor and regulator on ebay for damn cheap. Replaced it and it's been great sinse (ftr, you can use regulators from '89 to '93 models. Maybe '94 as well, if the convertibles use the same thing).

I'd get the engine tick looked at, the SOHCs tend to have issues with breaking timing chain guides causing problems.

the window is up, just doesnt move from the button... i was gonna try and disassemble the door and see if its just a lose wire.. and as for the ticking, the dude said he had 2 replace the timing chain already... it speeds up w/ the revs too... so i dunno wut it is...
