OK, so I bought a 89' 240sx single cam coupe (2 tone, sea foam green and gray) about 3 months ago for $1000. I put a dash in it (it was cracked to hell), got the HUD working, put new koni gr-2's all around with Skunk2 lowering springs, and Spats Fr and Rr strut tower bars. I also found a set of Kosei's (16x8 +22 perfect offset!!) on it. I also replaced all the rotors and pads, plugs,wires,blah blah.Overall I dont have a lot of money in this car at all. It is pretty clean, Except for the LF fender someone hit me. It has 214xxx but still runs strong as hell.

My friend just traded his GTI for a 1991 MX-6 turbo. If your local you may have seen it at our Classic Mazda meets, The blue one with the R32 wheels(everyone mistakes it for a skyline Ray's old car ) The car is really, really clean, almost Immaculate. I dont know specifics yet but I believe its a .50 trim turbo with Tial wastegate and BOV blah blah, boost controller, front mount blah blah. Coilovers, r32 wheels and some other goodies. It ran a 13.2 with no traction in 1st,2nd. He's also going to throw in another 89 mx-6 turbo parts car thats not too bad in its own.

The guy wants to trade me my 240 plus $1200 for the 2 mx-6's. Im kinda torn, I know if I dont do the trade Im going to throw an SR in it in a couple of months. I just love how this Mx-6 is so clean and working at Mazda I just love them.

I will throw up some pics of both cars when I can but for now here is a pic of the car I found on google images.

What would you guys do???

 

all I have is a pic of my car when I bought it so it looks alot different.


Here is the Mx-6

 

very hard decision. <(prolly spelled that wrong) im feeling the 240. sr20 is awsome to have and is just sick. that mazda sure is nice though i knew which one u was talking bout before i saw the pic. u cant forget that car. hey u going to be at the old town meet?

 

i guarantee you wont have anywhere near as much fun in the mx6 as much as the 240 if you swap it, hell id just throw a ca18det in only cause it sits farther back,better
weight balance,still produces 190hp and you can get parts for it at the dealer as long as its not for the head.its cheaper,and it wont bend valves like a sr will at high rpms.

 

I have a manifold/turbo/injectors/intercooler/infinity Maf and a Greddy E-Manage for your 240SX that I have on Craigslist for $1000.... It will give your 240 some power AND save you $200....

Keep the 240... They are fun to play with if setup right...

Keep the 240sx. My husband sold his and is kicking himself in the butt.... They're fun to drive... granted not as fun as the 7 : P

 

So I drove the MX-6 around for a couple weeks and I liked it at first, but as I kept driving it I started to hate it. It was kinda getting to me that I was driving someone elses car around and Going from 5 rwd cars to a fwd kinda sucked. I just had to keep the 240 I couldnt get over it. Everytime I saw it driving around It killed me. I will probably throw an sr in it in a couple months.

 

Well, I know someone who can do an RB20 (skyline motor) swap for you for 2,500 out the door, parts labor everything.... If you want more power that is....

 

I think you mean RB25 or RB26.... No such thing as an RB20....

keep it and have fun with it, and drift it (yes i said it)

 

Nope I mean the RB20 motor. Please don't comment on things that you know nothing about.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_RB_engine
