The good side of owning a 240sx (S14) is that
-It's lightweight rwd, which translate to fun
-It can be built for drag, drift, autoxing (my personal favorites)
-Decent handling
-Seating position is a lil sporty
The bad sid of owning a 240sx (S14) is that
-Aftermarket support isn't as strong as the integras
-Things always either leak or break (not all, but most)
-Gas milage isnt as good as the integra
-Small interior space
Overall id go with a S14. Ive never owned a integra, but drove them many times, and had friends who owned them. They told me they prefer S14 over integras. You don't need alot power to have fun with this car. The standard KA motor will do just fine. Don't go with a RB. You're limited in parts if things brake down. If you want torque, go with a KADET, or just put in a LS1 like matt chin

Getting your car to build that kind of power would be cheaper then doing so with the S14, if you swap to a SR. Motorswap will cost you around ~4-5.5k then mods to achieve those figures. For that kind of money you can have a fully built LS/GSR + a full-race turbo kit.

I just mean that if you have to ask nissan guys if we think you should get a 240 over the teg then you should probably stick with the teg because you'll get more out of it. You will be able to build a quicker car for a little less money by sticking with the teg. If your desires were to have a rear wheel car that you can drift and have fun with etc...then you wouldn't have to ask because the S14 is much better for that specific type of driving. Thats all. Teg are fast and well supported by the aftermarket. if your just looking to be fast then stick with the teg. There is definately nothing wrong with asking at all. good luck.
-I love my s14 but I would never say that it is the best car in the world and everyone should junk their current car to go out and get one....
