Well since I have gotten all the money from my insurence from the wreck. Its time to figure out what to do about a car. I mean I really like the celica and all, but I think that I want a 240sx. The reasons why I want one are: 1. RWD, 2. more power than a gt, 3. more boost friendly IE SR20DET swap, different styling on it, 4. these pics are also what made me think about it more.
   those are what made me think more about it. I still have the kit and other stuff, so that wouldn't take me as long to get it back to where it was. If I get another 6th gen its more for sentamental reasons more than anything else. But the 240 is looking really sweet though, but I would have to put more money into the swap and other stuff to make it go fast. let me know what you think and tell me why you think it. Bryan |

one of my uncles has a 1992 240sx with the vlsd rear end.
it is a fun car to drive but, there are things about it that make me like my celica a lot more. the suspension is VERY VERY stiff. i feel every ant i run over in that thing. the s13's arent that good looking, the s14's are ok and the 97-98 240's look good. the car is not fast either, but it is fun to drive being that it is RWD. i think it is on par with a celica GT, maybe a bit faster. but it is crazy on the freeway!!!!! while the car in an auto, i have pegged the speedo in 3rd gear!!(the speedo goes to 110-115) the car, with a ecu upgrade will go to i think 150 or something like that. after 60mph the car just does not stop pulling the sr20det is a great engine. its light and makes good power and, like the 3sgte, can be built to 400hp on the stock internals. but the car sucks in the rain. i think it has to do with the stiff suspension of the s13(s14's have slightly softer suspension and weigh more) it just loves to lose traction, even when im careful not to. dont buy older mitsu turbo cars, millions of problems waiting to happen. a 300zx TT is expensive to insure(as well as a 240) too bad you couldnt afford an STI, but either way, i would not buy a car that the dealer wont let you test drive till after you have signed your first name on the papers. i went to miller mitsubishi with my dad to see his friend(the sales manager there) and to test drive an evo8. we were not able to drive it. but, trading in my car, i could have gotten the evo 8 for $265 a month. i could afford that, but um, double that and thats the price i would have to pay for insurance a month, lol. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
