After searching for a few months I found it in Hamilton, OH. Its a 93 SE with 137K on the odo. I picked the new 240 up a week ago. Last Sunday started the 5-speed conversion, LSD install, and suspension. Pretty much I put back on all my old parts from my wreaked 240. The new 240 was on the road by Wednesday. Nick

you gotta lose that spoiler though, it looks like it's gonna be pretty nasty under there.:(

Its already bad under the spoiler. I'm going to get a paint job in a few months. I might try to weld in metal, but its bad. I might have luck looking for a new spoiler less hatch. Nick

Looks nice, other than that rust. I like the color too...you don't really see it often on S13's. One question...how are the sportlines for daily driving? Is it ever too low or anything...like do big speed bumps really kill your car or something or what? Thanks.

The sportlines are fine for daily driving if they are paired with an adjustable shock. Different setting help such as setting them to not ride stiff ofn the highway. Also I have learned don't drive with more that 3 people in your car. I do have problems with speed bumps. I have to go over sideways because the Apex'i exhaust rubs a little. When I set it to the softest setting even my mom will drive my car. I'm also riding on stock alloys with a 205/50-15. Which isn't the softest ride. I plan on buying some 17s in a few weeks, that should bring me up a little. I should have saved a few extra hundred and bought coilovers for what I'm going to be doing. I love the color too, think I'm going to get it repainted the same color. Nick

Nice s13!! The color is awesome. I think your'e best off just getting the whole lift-gate off another spoiler-less fastback to take care of the issue.

Definitely get the coilovers, the sportlines work very poorly with the agx's. I found that out the hard way.

Congrats
