My point is that isn't a pos. That's why I don't like having the black car in my sig. Everyone is quick to assume it's my only car. And I'm planning on getting both of my bumpers repainted soon. They're pretty bad as of right now.

Quit stroking this kid's ego. He happens to have a bone stock 240sx that he found in good shape and now he thinks he has some sort of badass car. He didn't do a damn thing to it except take off the factory mudflaps, paint the roof black, and add a terrible fitting saggy single cam lip. If anything he made it worse.

If that's the cleanest hatch you've seen on TR you're not looking very hard. Or you have terrible taste too. Or both.

 

^ Boom roasted! LOL (tim)

 

As much as I dislike agreeing with this guy, he's right. 240sx's are like "my first mechanic" starter sets. All the information to fix and modify them is easily available on multiple 240sx websites, and the parts are DIRT cheap compared to pretty much any other car.

That being said, I don't get how so many people manage to have so many problems with their S13's. I guarantee any problem that you're having has happened to at least 20 other people, and there's probably a write up somewhere on how to fix it. But instead of searching bigger forums and figuring out solutions, lazy kids come on TR and ask to be spoonfed answers... David...

 

What? Are you suggesting I make a lot of stupid threads asking stupid questions? I search through a whole lot of forums before I make a thread asking a question.

 

Try harder.

Try freshalloy. Try zilvia. Try Nico. Then if you can't find your answer, try TR.

 

iirc, I only ever made one thread asking a question about a problem. And it was a really rapid loud electrical clicking, which I'm still not 100% sure about what the problem was. Sometimes I'll ask a question in the what did you do today/carwash odyssey thread, then I'll start searching.

 

You ask a lot of stupid fucking questions. Whether you start new threads or not, I don't know or care. I usually gloss right over your posts to be honest. I can count the number of interesting or correct things you've ever said on one hand.

 

Decide what your want from the car before you go look at it and decide whats important to you to be well maintained or in good shape. lots of people like to swap the motor for SR20s or RB26s in that case if you have another car to drive buying one with a peice of crap KA shouldnt really worry you. if you need the car for a reliable daily then just go over all the normal checks you would do while buying any used car. check for leaks, rust, sagging suspension, clicks, knocks, bangs, smoke, dents, dings, missing pieces, but like i said before its depending on whats important to you. im sure alot of people would agree a good body is pretty important in buying a 240 because in that cars life most other things are gonna get swapped out or upgraded depending on the owners tastes and budget.

Thus assuming you want to build it up. If you just want a bone stock 240 chances are the one your looking at is gonna be crap. lol. its a rare commodity to find a stock 5spd 240 in someones garage that hasnt seen some sideways time. thats another thing to check. if the rear tires are toast then you know its been molested like a red headed step child. your also gonna want to check the tie rods and things of that nature, i cant tell you how many cars like 240s, rx7 things like that, that have been chucked into corners and now have buggered up steering components and suspension.

just be smart.

 

hahahaha

new sig material.
