Do you like the 240sx in stock form?

[mrmephistopheles]

No mods. Stock everything. No Silvias, no 200sx, no 180sx.
Stock paint, stock wheels, stock seats, stock ride height, stock stereo, stock EVERYTHING.

Yes or no!

[Dousan_PG]

YES
comfortable
quick (not fast, but has some balls)
sporty
smooth (sigh i miss those days of comfortable suspension)
nice interior layout
good storage space
quiet inside (miss this too)

i like it!

[Steeles]

yep i always liked them. hatch was always my favorite. kinda makes me wish I'd bought my little brothers when I had the chance too. (before he destroyed it)

[fogleroller]

I'd Take a stock 94, or stock 91-93 COUPE (no wing)

[adey]

stock suxorz. :p no LSD = no drift ability! (ha ha! driftability... drift ability... never mind.) supa tall ground clearance = dumb looking. You ain't cool until you scrape on even the littlest of speedbumps (like me). :D

[fogleroller]

well, you can swap out an LSD from a HICAS 240 (is that still considered stock? (or just get a 240 with S-HICAS)

what about a Stock 94 and swap out the Auto for 5speed and LSD from another 240? is that still stock?

[Jetkillr]

i got the 5-speed swap on my '90 and im soon gonna have a '93 front end on my '90 240SX :D by the way i like the stock look but i think the performance can be better :D

[ruudbwoy]

i think the stock 240sx is great. looks, suspension, everything. it could have used summo' ponies though. people mod their cars to make something already good (most of the time) in to something even better. If ppl modded their rides depending how ****ty it was the honda/acura crowd wins by a landslide....JAMES. modded hondas are like roaches, they are everywhere you go. its not that often i see a nice 240

:bow:

[Phlip]

At some point we have ALL liked the 240 in stock form, for those of us that have them, I was in high school when the S14 came out and I was in love with it from that point, I was lucky enough to have gotten one 6 years later. I like the way it looks, it was decently quick (faster than your neighbors riced out civic) and I had originally planned to not do stuff to it, maybe some wheels and stereo. What happened? I got bit by that same bug that draws us all to this damn message board everyday and started modding stuff. I still love the car though.

if you actually read what i wrote you'd see what I was talking about, and it wasn't trash talking hondas

:nono:

Yeah, I really like the stock body styles. People seemingly always taint their 240 with a tall spoiler or wing and an ugly 3" can-shaped looking muffler angled to the side. *awaits the flamethrowers*

I really think the 2-port muffler looks the best and the same for the stock spoiler. Also, I feel that body kits make it lose its "lean" shape.

This is the only S14 that I've seen that still looks conservative enough for me :D. That is, all except for the color...

yes and no, actually.

cargo space compared to my old GTIs is near-nonexistant (in the S14 and S13 coupe i've owned).

brakes need to be addressed upon purchase of vehicle, unless the car's only used for commuting.

the wheels/tires are unsatisfactory (at least on base models; haven't driven a stock SE).

the shocks and springs are only barely acceptable on my base-model no-options S13 coupe.

but IMO, what kills this car more than anything else is the final drive... wtf is the point of a theoretical 160mph top speed when the ECU cuts out at 115mph? had nissan used the 4.3 gears as stock (or hell, at least an option), it would have been percieved as a "5.0 fighter" instead of a "secretary's car".

however, even in light of all this, i disagree that it sucks stock- unless you want the stigma of a miata or the repair bills of a 944, good luck finding anything else that's as close to 50/50 weight distribution for under $10k. people like us modify our cars because we want MORE. and it's never enough. :)

Yes or no! Yes....My favorite car in the whole world are S14's...I'd take that over any car out there....I know it's not the fastest car in the world but I'd love to own my favorite car..Not many people can say they own their favorite car (Even though i don't) but hey,all in due time

so your saying you dont like the apex'i n1 single, i think it looks nice, and angled is how it should be

[importfan1]

i love the stock look!

[foodawg]

stock is good. i think we should buy cars for what they r STOCk before we take advantage of the potential of the car and mod it

[silvias13_180sx]

YES
240's are just too great

i like it!

HELL YES ! I love my s13 ! I am not going to keep it stock,but I love it !

[brokenben]

stock works for me.

[Vatche]

stock its an aWESOME car but any car has to be modified alil....even if its just suspension lowering and wheels....but im not saying it doesnt look nice stock and ride well stock....it just has SO MUCH POTENTIAL....thats the bottom line the 240's own

[s14falcon]

Stock is good all around, but there are some problems. The ride height makes the wheel gap look like a 4x4, and the stock wheels are waaay sunken in. And that nasty ass pinstripe, but that doesnt count as the car, i just need to take it off. So yes, stock=good, modified=better.

[Bone]

240's Rule in any form!

[BiluMaster K's]

no brainer, they are sexy

end of issue

[iknowyoulike]

no brainer, they are sexy

end of issue

Well said :rawk:

[TiNMAN]

uhh....i love every 240.. :bigok: PEACE!

[davenavarro1]

i think the car is great but like any other car, it can always be better, faster and sexier.

[the240sxer95]

yeah i "like" the 240 in stock form

[The ROMAN]

I like it. I remember when I first got it. I took some turns pretty fast and was like "woah this ass-end's reeeeaaal light!"

[nightwalker]

NO! NO! NO!

well more like yes and no. I initially really liked the coupe, way back in the day. Didn't really like the fastback. ...until I saw one lowered. Then I was all over it!

but, in the end, I do not like the 240 stock. A evo stock I wouldn't mind, but the 240, S13 especially, is too sloppy.

[JDM K's]

The only stock 240sx I like are S14 SE models

[morpheus8486]

I like 240s in stock form, not love though. If done right they can be damn good looking cars and can become high performance machines.

[driftyour40]

The only stock 240sx I like are S14 SE models

I'm w/ him. I'm not doing anything to the body of my 240. The only thing I'm doing to the body, is having some framework done, and little body adjustments. Just to get the body straight. Then I'm going to have it repainted Nissan's super black. I love my car. :hitit:

Oh shit, I may or may not pull/roll the fenders, but that’s for the wheels dammit.
As for just a stock car they are cool in my book.

[DocTaDrifT]

stock kouki :drool: i like i like

[sepulchral]

i like it stock but i like to modify

[CHARLIE2020]

The only good looking 240SX is the 240SX SE 97-98 all the rest look ok, except hatches I think those things are ugly stock but once fixed up :right" they can turn heads.

[MakotoS13]

fastbacks OWN joo all.
