What year was your 240?
I have a '95 that I'm selling right now, would love to have the SR20 (or RB) in it, but it's an auto. I hope to find a '97 or '98 5-speed, eventually.

Well I loved the S13, the handling was superb, it took corner just like Porche. I am not kidding !! I have tried a stock Porche 911 and my S13 on the track.
Don't sell it just to get a younger 240 w/ manual gearbox, get a SR240 for your car instead. It will be a fun car to drive in weekend.
Check this site :http://www.240sx.org/ you might find someone who sells SR20

Let's see, 6 rear gears, conv tops, 2 trans, window mtrs, ect.....typical F-Body, but a blast to drive!

BTW, it was a rental car.....but I enjoyed it.

The Conv Trans was an awsome car with top down, throaty exhaust, gobs, gobs of tire smoking power but just not a reliable car to drive everyday. Now, If you left it in the garage and never drove it...great car.

2.1987 Chevy Celebrity - stopped running at 117k
3.1992 Honda Accord - sold recenty at 146k, best running car I've owned
4. 1999 Chevy Z-28 convertible - brought low and sold high for a sizeable profit at 33K
5. 1995 Lexus SC300 5spd - current car, no plans to sell

1. 1981 AMC Concord station wagon (hand-me-down high school car)
2. 1991 Saturn SC (first model year, my first brand new car--a delight!)
3. 1992 Saturn SC (traded in my wife's Geo Storm for this once we got married)
4. 1995 Saturn SC2 (traded in my '91 when in for an oil change and regretted it big time)
5. 1997 Acura Integra GS-R (traded in the '92 Saturn and moved into the world of upscale carmakers)
6. 1998 Acura 3.0 CL (got rid of the Saturn lemon and have loved this car ever since)
7. 2000 BMW M Roadster (wife got the convertible bug and we decided to splurge while we still didn't have kids)
8. 2002 Lexus GS430 (traded in the M for a "family car", but still wanted luxury and power)
Now we've got our first little one on the way and I'm trying to decide if we're going for another sports car or a sport ute when I trade in the Acura... Great thread idea, by the way!
