Maybe buying this 240?

[jboeck6]

I have a 1991 240sx mostly stock, just suspension mods and a cold air intake, and I want to make it faster but I don't have all the funds...so I found this 240 which looks pretty solid but could use some work, considering buying it, take a look http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/858026267.htmllet me know what you think, if it would be a good idea or not...or what else i could do to it if i got itthanks guys

theres easily that much and more in parts into that car and it doesn't seem like to bad of a deal but if your lookin at that as a daily driver prolly not the best thing for you you would be skippin around every corner with that welded diff not hard or very expensive to replace but just something to think about... also got a salvage title find out where it was hit and who did the work on it for him cause i've seen a lot of cars where people just pound it out and slap a gallon of bondo on her... also has a few problems nothing that couldn't be fixed but stuff your going to have to get to before it could be a daily driver

3K for something that was definitly beat on...with several problems. No thanks...never buy someone elses problem.

Just my opinion though.

Let me ask you this...he went ultra cheap on every single part...ebay crap and a used T25...do you REALLY think it has forged internals?

Buying a beater drift car would not be my way of spending 3k. Needs alignment? He means he drifted it into a curb lol.

Its tricky buying an engine with forged internals, you can get scammed or you can get a great deal. I was just trying to think that it MIGHT be possible to look down into the empty spark plug wells and see if you can see shiny aluminum(forged), but its probably going to be covered in carbon so that idea probably isnt going to work.
