I have a budget of about 10K and want to get a 240SX to put an SR20DET into. What would be a good car to try and locate and where could i get a good price on a front clip, either an S13 or S14. Also, I live in northern Virginia so where would be a good place to get a swap done?

for 10K total price.. go with a S13. you can prolly buy one for like under $5000 (I could be wrong) and then use the other $5000 for the swap AND some goodies!

first of all...heavythrottle.com, enjukuracing.com, phase2motortrend.com, afterdark-tuning.com, and rollhard.com for jesse....i think heavy throttle might be in that area. with 10k you could have a lot of SR potential. get a $200 body, drop SR in, and go from there. next time post this in SR forum though.

Well your only option "pretty much at least" would have to be a s13, and you could more than likely get one around 3.5k. Then you would have plenty of money to harness a sr20, not to mention then you would def. need a lsd. Good luck.

p.s. how far are you from Cinci Ohio??? I know a kick *** shop up here, but he is kinda steep but the best work around here.

Its okay, nothing to write home about. Gotta make sure you use lock-tight stuff around all the screws and s***. Otherwise you could end up at the track missing gears cause the damn shifter keeps spining around.... just like me a couple months ago, urgh!!!!

Seriously if I had 10k, I wouldn't be asking anyones opinions on anything. If you have 10k and don't know what you want to do with it, PUT IT BACK IN THE BANK, till you know what your doing. Why is every new persons question..."I have X amount of dollars and I want a 240 with an SR20DET, can you guys tell me every little baby step I need to take. Thanks."

You obviously made your way onto this board so why don't you make your way back onto Google and do some searching.

hahaha.... don't mind him... just do a little search next time.. there is vast amounts of info here about every engine that you can possibly put in a 240. just search for it and you shall find the answer!
