[SeverX13]

ok so i was planning on doin a 3swap in june. but i recently got caught up in 240sx's again. and i cant decide if i should sell the celi and buy a 240. i want a 10s car really bad w/out buying a supra. and i know a 240 would be easier to build up and possibly cheaper. but i dont wanna sell the celi. idk

any thoughts or sugestions

Well what year are is the 240 first, because my friend just picked up an '89 240sx that hasn't been driven in 6 yrs so there's only 120,000 km's on the KA motor and he's had to do a ton of body repair/bondo work and replace his hatch-trunk because the spoilers on the 240 is a foam-like sponge where it keeps all the water in and leaks on the bottom so there's MAD RUST if u take that spoiler off, and on a side note, the 6gc and the 240 are dead even on a straight. But it's all the same really, you won't be nearing 10s unless u do a 3s swap and for 240 u'll need to get a SR20 or RB25 or something to near that and the amount of money u pay in the end is nearly the same.
IMO KA-T is not worth it, but i'm not sure if it's more reliable or not.
And just like the 6gc's have the GT4 conversion, the 240's have the Type X conversion. Which is approx the same price you'd pay for the gt4 bumper and hood.
All up to you bro.
