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.
It was 1990 S13. It has 180,000 miles on it before the swap. BTW, you could get SR20 w/ manual tranny all together for a good price these days. I had to pay $ 3500.00 from a company in Florida 3 years ago and that was only for the engine .

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

Regards
Dominic

Let's see, 6 rear gears, conv tops, 2 trans, window mtrs, ect.....typical F-Body, but a blast to drive!
I have driven that car with the top down through a mountain road in Washington State. It was fun. Loved the throaty sound from the exhausts when you hit the accelerator.

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.

Default What cars have you owned to date?

Here's my short list I've accumulated by age 23 with a litte history behind each one. I hope I can add some real superstars to the list, of course my Lexus SC300 being the first I'm curious to see what others have owned.

1.1986 Honda Civic - totaled at 160K++ by an old lady on the way to the store

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!

Cars I have (or had) accumulated by 17:

1. 1995 Lexus ES300 - 1st luv - paid off, will keep as long as possible
2. 2003 Nissan 350Z Track - bought very low to aid distressed friend's inability to keep up with payments; sold high following week
3. 1999 DINAN BMW M3 Convertible - bought very low from police auction (former prime Chicago drug dealer's car ) - sold at market value a few days ago


FUTURE PLANS: 94-95 Accord Coupe 5spd (if I find one in time) or else Scion xB for college (something not so showy)
