I literally burnt one of those SN95s to the ground before I bought my S13.

it was a 96 in that same color. wasnt a cobra though.

I got an extra set of OE 03 Mach1 sway bars and springs if you want them(good for a 1/2in drop and nice ride quality)

This is crazy, your the 2nd person i know that sold there turbo 240 for a Cobra of the same body.

I used to drive v8's i dont miss them at all. Torque is nice and all but so is 7000+ rpm

heres how i look at it...

no worries of major problems, power steering, ac, cruise control. torque.

240 was a headache and my 2 daily drivers were getting ready to die. Someone offered me the cash for the car, wasnt really planning to sell. But i took it. never been happier!

i've been down the KA-T road, the SR road, the RB road and now the CA road... ive covered the 4 corners of the map for the most part... was time to go back to my big V8's for a while.

out of all the nissan engines I played with tho... the CA was the most interesting and fun. very impressive engine for what it is and i would NODOUBT do another one down the road if the situation presents itself. For right now... Family > Modified cars... But i cant be without a fun toy =P
