before I got my liscence, at 15/16... I was a little rice boy honda fan, i'll admit. I totally wanted a civic, crx, del sol, or prelude with preference bouncing between all of them. I got my liscence, and finding myself with no cash to buy a car, nor my parents wanting to buy me a car, i was pretty much "stuck" driving my mom's P10 Infiniti G20. Wandering around the internet I eventually found G20.net and quickly became part of the "G20 Fam" and fell in love with the car and the SR20 motor it had. Four years later, when I turned 20, being somewhat old and wiser with a newfound love for nissans I decided it was time for me to buy my own car (had the cash saved up too). I narrowed my choices down to a manual G20, SE-R, or 240sx. First I test drove a manual G20. Helluva fun, more enjoyable than my auto G20 - the car I was already in love with (but I really wanted manual). Then I test drove an 89 S13. Instantly I fell head over heals for RWD. My first thoughts were... damn this is why people like RWD. The handling, the way the car moved, everything about the car was amazing. Ready to buy the car, i went to my parents for their approval, and was denied (as an only child, my parents are very protective) since the car didn't have airbags. After a great deal of debate with my father, we came to an agreement that I would get an S14 and they would chip in a few bucks towards it. Another month or two of searching and I found my car. It's been almost a year since then now... and I couldn't be happier

my cousins and i have for the most part always been hardcore nissan fans. then 2 of them got s13's, a fastback and a coupe. the coupe got the SR20DET swap, and the fastback got its suspension and body upgraded. then my other cousin got a hicas s13 fb with a few tasteful bolt-ons. i was gonna get a scion tc for looks and quality, but they are FWD and there are about a bagillion of them now. then i was looking at a 300zx z32 (TT), but it was impractical for me to get one. after about 2 months of searching, i found a near-mint S14 kouki specimen in san diego, and i just had to pick it up. -jack

i really wanted an FD. ive always wanted a car that can take vettes whenever necessary. looked at a 95 M3, infact i almost bought it. insurance wasnt what i wanted to pay though. not to mention mods are extrememly expensive for the minimal power gains they offer. ive known about the S for a few years now. cheap ass insurance is a major player having 2 cars to insure. first car was an E30 325, a car which i would still consider buying one of these days and ofcourse, dropping an S52 into it. haha. anyhow, the S14 kind of fell into my lap. after being scared away from an FD.. i bought the 97 SE. i have never driven the car, but when i get it running i should be a turbo upgrade and tune away from playing with vipers. once my need for speed is fulfilled, then its on to handling. long story, im sorry. i am the ultimate bandwagon jumper. i have a civic AND a 240sx. wow i suck.

My Friends dad worked at a Nissan Dealership... I seen the 97 Kouki sitting out on the lot. The 300ZX was no longer on the market and the 240SX seemed like a little bit of a lesser version. 2 years later (1999) I got one.
I still have the 240 and love the hell out of it.

Peace

My friend had been into 240SXs for a while. He was always talking about them and I was always listening. I drove his stock S13 and was going to buy an S14 to replace my boring daily driver, but I got distracted by a sexy fun car (S2000). I had too much fun. After the S2000 broke a million times, I started to get interested in going towards a split daily driver / fun car route. I wanted something that I could really make my own, so it would have to be cheap and parts would have to be available and cheap. Really the only decent cheap RWD import platform is the 240SX. It's a killer combination with the suspension setup and the availability of cheap power (SR20). After my S2000 is back out of the shop and sells, I'll be able to set it up the way I want it.

I first found out about them, when I was 14 years old. My buddy had a friend with one, he had a exhaust on it. It was lowerd and the rear tires were bald from him doing burn outs a power slides. I was young and know alot about cars even then.I started looking around and my dad told me they handled really well. I looked up some old Car N Driver mags he had. flash back to when I was turn 16, My dad had a TSI and I really didnt like it for some reason. I was young and wanted a Transam, I got one after I turn 17 years old. It was used and a girl owned it, got it for a great price it was a 95 with a Lt1. Anyways I ended up getting rid of it and then getting a TSI wich should have been my first car from the start. I dumped everything into it put a 16g, HKS cams, Mods list goes on and on.

At the time i was building my TSI a buddy of mine who screen name im on, Bought a 240 and was doing a swap. After he did the swap the car was just awsome and fun etc, I still have my TSI and he has since then sold his swapped 240. He bought a KA 91 coupe thats MINT! and Hes giving me a turbo, and a whole list of other stuff and were doing a trade. Im going to love 240s and the fact its RWD and I miss having that since my Transam was etc and it will be much more reiable.

TURBO KA-Ts Is were its at now and Im going to be doing alot with this car.
