my buddy brad has a ****ty *** accord hes wasting TONS of money on (about 4k so far and it keeps coming). Hes about to spend more on just getting it fixed then what he'd spend on getting an older 240 that runs. I'm trying to talk him into getting a 240, hes seriously considering it, but keeps making excuses. He came extremely close to buying one a couple weeks ago with a blown engine, with plans to put the sr20 in (he had the cash at the time) but he pussed out like a ***** because hes lazy. I told him I was going to try and find another local guy with a manual older 240 (mines new and auto, damnit) that would take him out in it and possibly let him drive it. He's on the edge of breaking, and getting a 240, I think if he sees how bad *** they are compared to his **** pile, it would be the breaking point for sure. Let me know if theres any guys here that want to help out converting another honda fag into a nissan guy. Thanks for any help. I'm thinking maybe I'll bring him to the next nico meet, but if someone could let me know where there at, and if maybe I could find someone ahead of time that might let him take it out real quick to show him what a REAL car handles like (he thinks his accord is the **** since it has springs/struts/decent tires, he has it set in his mind it would stomp my car because of it, lol).

Why not sell him yours and buy yourself an older manual 240?

Just a thought... (?)

because mine is auto and newer, so its slower and more expensive. he likes the older ones and thats what he would get if he got one. I tried selling him mine already. :) I'd take him out to show him what a 240 can do, in my car, but ive got a stock 240 with ****ty tires, that and hte fact that its an auto, makes it pathetic handling wise, when compared to a manual with nice tires.
