my old 240sx is for sale!! crazy.. I dont personally know the guy who owns it now... but they converted it to RHD, put a bigger turbo on it.. and from what i see in the pics, they put stock tail lights on, removed the spoilers, and the front wheels seem to be a different offset
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/1011991095.html

This was when i had it, it was my first car from 01-06 and i built it up.. spent alot of money, motor swap, suspension, lsd..


Crazy I always wished i could see how it performs against my fc


I was talkin to my friend, he thinks whoever has my s13 now, they probably took off or sold all the expensive parts I had put on there, liek the kouki tails, spoiler, greddy profec b spec II, safc, nismo parts lsd etc.. I wont be surprised if those are not on it,.. with 240s, you can just switch that stuff out with cheapo ebay stuff.

heres some pics of it
im sure it looks different now









That was temp, i swapped to a Taurus fan shortly.


Those pics where from 06 when i had got it painted.. 5zigen FN01 where still kinda cool imo.

I got sick of worrying about theft and cops *i had 2 ref tickets on that car which i paid em like over $1k sum of both*. I traded it for this rare euro spec 190e 16valve *180hp 4cylinder 5 speed!!*. It handled great and is like a ae86 * you dive into the RPMS and it gets going*


this was a gray market euro too, different from the US spec.. mega rare, it had low miles when i got it, started feeling bad that i was putting miles on it and started to get the itch to mod.

I traded that car for my rx7, just felt there was some things i didnt get to do in my s13 like track it and do some car shows.. Ironically i miss the crap out of that benz, i could go everywhere and not care about cops or theft, yet it was clean enough and still a rare benz that got attention from people who knew about it.. I must have drove that out clubbing in hollywood every weekend i had it.. man those where good times.. I dont dare do that in the s13 or with my fc lol..

Im jus hopin things will pick up for me and ill get things moving along again.

a lot of things old were replaced, the motor was rebuilt, some rota slipstream rims, etc

grant gt steering wheel, short shifter

as for performance mods it had konis but i put some whiteline coilovers in, thinking of maybe switching it back to some konis+ springs. H&T bushings

has a mandrel bent exhaust with a stainless steel bullet muffler. the inlet and outlet pipings for the muffler are 2 1/4 inch thick, but i just ordered one thats a quarter inch thicker hoping to raise my top end. (the chassis is an 87 na but it has a stock 88 supercharged motor swap and 89 tranny.

had a 9 lb fidanza flywheel that i need to repair before i put it back in because it was too gone to refinish when the clutch gave out

theres probably more that I'm forgetting. one of the previous owners was a great driver who took great care of the car too and won 1st place with it in SCCA
