raced a 240 sx, and won!!! Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Could the 240 actually been an older 200? Or even a Honda Accord hach? These cars all have a similar look to them. And I would believe much more that you could handle those.

Who would want to swap a 7AFE for a 5SFE, it's just as easy to throw a 3SGTE in it. Ask easternpiro1 if a 7AFE can outrun a 240SX, he's got an intake and exhaust and still got his a** handed to him by a Civic 4 door. The 240SX is a lot slower than the numbers say but a 7AFE still couldn't hold up, s*** the 5SFE has a hard enough time. To know for sure what engine you have does it sit straight up or lean towards the windshield?

maybe out the factory...what about after 10 years of driving?

1/4 mile times that people pull off websites are not accurate, every car is different if not cared for.
ie. my buddy bought a Acura GS-R from some old guy w/ 150K on it.  Ran it at the track and on his 2nd run hit a 15.6, which i believe is the car and driver time for it.
where as i believe eclipse GSXs were low 14's when they came out, but now most expect low 15's when they get it.

turbo GSX's run 14.9 stock. 3 people i no have them and 14.8 was the lowest they ever got and 14.9 was average.

eh, my DSM roomie agree, high 14 stock, but stock now they dont hit 14's often

[rockstarbass1]

well i got no clue then i dont see why if he knew what i was doin why he would let me beat him by only a half to a car legnth??? and i im prety sure it was a 240 sx. idk tho but i know it had a long ass TRUNK, not a hatch a trunk i could tell that much

[Consynx]

[rockstarbass1]

[chucho]

I heard that they are POS really a pain in the behind to work on.

The KA24 is a very old design and people that are familier with imports have a little trouble with them, they're not too bad though.

[rockstarbass1]

i kno nothing about them! lol

[MonsterBOX]

maybe the 240sx accidentally skipped a gear???3-5?

[MonsterBOX]

ur talking about the 944 right? I'm talking about the realibity they break all the time and have a poor engine design. This is coming from an import shop

[darksecret]

My mistake I thought you were talking about the 240SX motor, i've heard the 944 had a crap motor and for a Porsche they're pretty slow.

[rockstarbass1]

if i can get it for less then 3 grand i think its worth it. then ill have a 944 and 6gc

Woe woe, were did you guys hear they were POS's? Porshe is suposed to be more reliable than Toyota. Porshe is the top of the list. And as for those motors being slow, drive one.

Supposed is the whole line. The 944 isnt a good car. It is the slowest porsche on the market and if you ask anybody that has one they are not reliable by any means. & a pain to work on.

Found this, only goes back to 1990

Review: I have owned the car for more than 3 years. Very nice - but be prepared to TAKE CARE OF THE CAR. This is not a Honda Civic that only needs an oil change. It will need new belts every 30K and extras to make sure she stays in top running condition --from edmunds.com


thats why i said its not a good car....not a well built car. Now I do like the 911s

I give, if it's not a Toyota, espesially not a Celica, almost everyone on here hates it.
