good bye 240sx

[240sxracer]

all my plans on building up and turboing my 90 240sx has come to an end. i will always remember my little 240. it was very fun to drive and i liked it alot. anyways the motor blew again and ive just had enough. i have spent so much money just keeping it running so i went and got a newer car. its a 98 eclipse spyder sofar i just love it esspecially since it has a turbo (its itty bitty though) well i been on this forum since august and i plan on still visiting because i still think the 240 looks sweetand ill allways be in love with the s-13 fastback.
well thanks and good bye.

Turbo second gen eclipse, yeah that should be loads more reliable &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

BTW how do you blow 2 ka's with out a turbo?

[sykikchimp]

I've blown 2 KA's. &nbsp;One in a truck, because I had it buried in redline for 2 min's racing an integra, and one SOHC b/c I didn't keep oil in it. &nbsp;I have learned my lessons. &nbsp;Sucks to hear.

Lets gets some pics up of the new Ride! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

man that just sucks ass. life sucks too but dont sweat it.
the eclipse has alot of potential if ur looking to mod it. abd parts are alot cheaper than our cars(ur ex). anyways, good luck man. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

First mod to your 2G eclipse, a 1G 4G63 with a 20G turbo. &nbsp;2G's are notorious for crank walk. &nbsp;But if anything, do me this one favor, dont paint it green and put that homo bird on the side. &nbsp;For that I will give you an ass beating.

sounds like you need to apologize to your 240.

[240sxracer]

i dont know if it blew the engine like rods etc. but im going to pull the vailve cover off to see if it was the timming chain that broke. i still have the 240 its just going sitting in the barn till i figure what i want to do with it. maybe after i get the eclipse paid far ill totally redo the whole 240 replace everything and add a sr and make it project 240. i hjave no idea why i had so many proublems i changed oil every 2500 miles kept everything clean and gave her all kinds of love.i think i just had bad luck. maybe i had a lemon? right now i plan on keeping the eclipse stock till its paid for. then ill mod the motor make it fast &nbsp;upgrade the suspension cant tak ethose turns like the old 240 could. no green paint or graphics.
besides rims/ lowering it (from springs or coilovers) i plan on keeping the outside looking like stock. try to make a sleeper out of it. when i get some batteries for the camera ill put pics of it on here. can any of you suggest any sites that are good places to learn about the eclipse? thanks

[240meowth]

i think the 240 has great potentials, i think the engine blew up is because... the driver? no offense, but sometimes you do have to ease up on the car. &nbsp;and also, there can be probles during the install that cause the engien blow up....

dude the eclipse spider turbos are pretty damn fast, there was one in sport compact car with 11 second time slips...
if you find someplace that knows the engine well, 350+ hp are just a cakewalk and a check away.
