What do you guys think about this 240..

wohah, *jaw drops*

I'm not a big fan of the body kit (####, I'm not a big fan of any body kit <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>), but. . . ####. . . that just. . . ####. . .

[mistert]

great car, too bad its ugly like whoa. looks like he stole those wheels off an FD?

damned fast though,f rom the loks fo that dyno chart

[nismo270r]

Nice...that's Chris May's car...He's the owner of www.executivecleancar.com &nbsp;I haven't seen much of him lately on 240sx.org list, but he knows his paint care backwards and forwards. &nbsp;His car is definitely one of a kind...As for the wheels, those are Enkei RP01's

[HondaOwner]

That front piece has to go, but otherwise, that is one bad ass 240!!!

[thewholefnshow]

Why in the name of god would you ever sell that car. I would keep it for wekend romps... unless you are upgrading to a Viper or something... but even at that. That thing is beautiful. I even like the paint. And he doesn't want a barn burner either cause 18grand american is a lot of money...(like 27-30 canadian) that puts me WAY out of the running. But I would love to own that car!

[240booster]

I have read his post in the Atlanta 240 email forum he's selling it to settle some outstanding debts. I thought the same thing when i read that. and HEY WHAT the ####'s wrong with that kit?? I think it's bad as ####!! it's the erebuni kit and the one im gettin for my car one day :-)

[Zexel]

now see...what I'm wondering...is why someone is going to pay 18k for that badass ride...with 194k miles on it!!!!! &nbsp;that is a ton of miles...it may be a misprint, but still! &nbsp;that's a tight car, I don't know about the front eyelid piece thingy ma bobber, but ####!

[Zexel]

let me correct myself...I accidentally skipped the part about the rebuilt engine has 20k on it. &nbsp;but I mean still!

[ca18guy]

From what I have heard about his car, then I would guess that whom ever he had rebuild it did a great job and it is stronger then the day it left the factory. Sounds like a steal if it stay's at 18 grand. Maybe he would give me a discount since we have the same last name :biggrin:

[vancouvers14]

waaaay too many miles, and i hate the look of the whole car (color, body kit, wing), but thats #### fast. &nbsp;dont think he'll get 18K though

the amount of money he has put in the car is well worth it ..... that rebuild cost like 7 g's i believe.... the value of everything i wouldnt doubt wold exceed 25 g's

[bing]

nice... nice

[rabbit23]

that is the car that inspired me to build up my 240, can't believe he is selling it! nice, nice ride! wish i had 18 grand.

18000 but the reserves not met yet so its gonna be more,well he wants more for it

[konkman]

Simply amazing,

If I had 18000K to drop on that car I would, but I would contract the seller to repaint, and install a cleaner body kit and less rice wing.

he can hang and pass vipers on Road atlanta. &nbsp;this is truly a sad day when chris has to sell his &nbsp;baby. i will talk to him in jan when we have the general import meet, &nbsp;details are in the events.

and that is cheap for a car with that much work in it. and all u yacking about miles, what does it matter, everything on the car has just about been replaced, i don't see the logic in bitching about the miles. it really means nothing when i comes to his car.

[jay]

yup, miles wouldn't matter too much since everything was replaced and especially if he can hang with vipers. I think that just made me go the KA turbo route...

[burgy240]

I agree, You know it's more than well maintained and everything has been rebuilt or replaced that needs to be. &nbsp;Just lose the front eyes thingy and get a more subtle wing and that is one of the nicest cars around!!!

[jay]

You think that if he was going for the S14a look then he would have just bolted on an S14a front end considering all of the money that was already put into it. I do agree that the wing would have to go.

See if that was a normal 240, I would consider it a rice wing and body kit...but when you have 425hp to back it up...it's not ricey anymore.

just my opinion.

good point krunko, thats why all this talk about rice bothers me EVERYTHING gets labeled as rice now.... its silly.... is my car rice just cuz i have 300zx tt rims on my 240sx? i dont think so

[HaloZ]

if u have them on back ward they are &nbsp;HAHA jk

[mistert]

whether you think its rice or not i think the car is ugly. not ugly as sin, but it looks pretty nasty to me. the paint, the wing, the kit, that ugly thing up on the front, i say, if you're gonna spend that much money why get some nasty ass kit from erebuni that'll fall apart on you. i'd put VIS parts on my car before erebuni...

and also, i just dont know, an SR could make that much horsepower on stock internals, other than needing a new headgasket, and a little crank work after you pass 400-450, which you wouldnt even have to worrya bout if it was an S15 SR.

and as far as beating up vipers, yeah sure he can take a viper, but can he take a viper with $20,000 of modifications, or one that has an aftermarket turbo setup? didnt think so

Btw... anyone got a link to sunbelt performance? I wanna get some information about them. I'm looking for a place to rebuild my KA right now.

I like it, does'nt look bad. It's what he like's so he bought it with his money.

&quot;and also, i just dont know, an SR could make that much horsepower on stock internals, other than needing a new headgasket, and a little crank work after you pass 400-450, which you wouldnt even have to worrya bout if it was an S15 SR.&quot;

Unless you have a daily driven 450+ HP SR, then you have no room to talk. A sr will not be a very reliable engine on 450+ HP after a while.

&quot;and as far as beating up vipers, yeah sure he can take a viper, but can he take a viper with $20,000 of modifications, or one that has an aftermarket turbo setup? didnt think so &quot;

So it's pointless for us to mod our cars?

[mistert]

you dont have to turn around everything i say like its bad. sure you and some other people like it looks are a matter of opinion and last i checked i could still state mine.

daily driven or not i dont think a 435hp KA is going to be any more comfortable than a 450+hp SR engine, and i wouldnt exactly call a 435hp KA engine the most reliable thing on the block. just pointing out that he could've done about the same thing on an SR without needing a rebuild or new internals

and no i never said it was pointless to mod our cars, i was saying as far as the subject of taking on vipers, and i understand that even if he had spent that much money + bought the car brand new it'd still be less than a viper costs bone stock and brand new, and could hardly buy a good used one for that much

[AJ]

that is what i want my car to be like in a few years... lol,,, wOW!.. i love it... i love it.. and i love it some more... of course,, i love it so much, i would never get out of it.. i'd pay people to pump my gas and clean my car with me in it so i NEVER had to leave it... umm,, yeah,, i like it a lot <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[ca18guy]

A KA with internals would be more reliable then a SR with out internals at that HP. This though is a pointless arguement that will go no where.

[AJ]

actually, ,there was a used viper for 35,000 98' with only 1,400 miles on it... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;guy jsut wanted to get rid of it real fast i guess... old rich man.,

[Zenki Two40]

most ppl w/ vipers buy their cars so that it will be fast stock n don't wanna waste time modding it. that's why a 240 like that can take most vipers.

[jay]

I still think the car kicks ass. I would get rid of the eyelids, wing and hood. But with 400+ rwhp that thing is NOT rice! That car is in no way endorsed by Uncle Ben... Oh yeah, if you think about it, that whole page contains all the blue prints and parts to make one bad ass turbo KA. Just thought I would mention that...

[jdm togue]

that is impressive for sure, I give him props...

hey i was just thinking.........the 240 and hondas are 4 bangers.......and besides being RWD......does the 240 just have more &quot;potential&quot; than a honda? i know this question is kind of vague but....hopefully someone catches my drift.....an equally modded prelude would beat a 240 right

so how does it handle? better or worse than the 240? &nbsp;can you drift in the FWD? if so how easy? &nbsp;what about insurance compared between the two? &nbsp;how much is insurance for a 240 anyway? &nbsp;do modifications affect insurance rates?

you know i think if preludes were RWD.........maaaan!

(Edited by NiseSlut at 11:51 pm on Dec. 12, 2001)

[jay]

Honestly I think insurance on a honda would be more because it is a far more popular car. I talked to my insurance company and they said that any mods I put on would be covered as long as I receipts for them. But I do think if you got in an accident and a huge FMIC was sitting on the ground next to your car it probably would not look too good.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> From what I understand you cannot drift in a FF car because it is nearly impossible to break the rear end loose. An eqaully modded SI prelude would come close to beating a 240 but the 240 (S14) has a 155hp and the lude would have 160 (si) or 200 (sh). You would have an advantage against the SI because our cars are rwd but I don't think you could take a SH. But when the numbers are that close it comes down to the driver...

i read somewhere that the sh was like an 8 + second 0-60 i HAVE to find that article lol i was LMAO

[jay]

8+ seconds! That is hella lame, prolly because it couldn't get a good launch. 200hp FF cannot be that useful...

yah 8+ seconds i HAVE to find that article..... thats pathetic

[240booster]

HOLLY SHIT DUDE!!! #### I SWEAR TO GOD WTF IS U #### PEOPLES PROBLEM. IF IT WAS A FUCKING NISSAN SKYLINE GTR WITH a billion hp &amp; HAD A #### BODY KIT ON IT YA WOULD WIG OUT RIIICCCCEEEEEE!!!!

The only way you can not be accused of having rice is to leave your car completely stock and never race it. Otherwise, someone will call you rice.

it's only on this board, so who really cares? i'd drive the #### out of that car n if everybody here was callin' my car RICE i'd tell them to show me how their stock not ricey in ne way car is better than mine in a race.
