, They are pretty nice, I went to look at an 07 a couple of months ago. They feel good to all the senses and they drive gr8...good throttle response and not too much torque steer. I think it's well damped for a fwd and not a lot of understeer albeit I didn't push it too hard since I had the dealer rep in the passenger side riding along.

well ****..

heres what all happened to me today. first off got my new tires back and on the car. i was pleased with that. other then i stung by another damn wasp. i got hit yesterday too. we took care of them this time, all 12 of them. even pressure washed my wheels, but 12 years of brake dust and baking wasnt gonna come off. so we took it for a spin. well to fill in a blank, we took the exhaust off so we could cut the tip off a bit. planning on 3 inches off, my tip is huge. so off we go, loud noisy and large loss of power. but it was fun. so get back go back down to the shop and my buddy has this new cherry picker in boxes in the back of his truck. so i tell him to move it up for more room. he goes off and i hear something clank. thought it was a jackstand. it was my muffler. well all i got to say is megan racing make one tuff muffler. all that got damaged was the mounting hook bent down and well, peeled back the metal on the muffler. its getting fixed tomorrow. one more reason to get a new muffler. so tomorrow get to break some more crap. but did manage to get a honda emblem to hand on my tow hook, wooh.

and i managed to find 2 baby copper heads, now residing in a terrarium in my garage..

ok guys now im in a big debate with myself and i think i need yalls help in making up my mind. a friend of mine has a pignose coupe that he said he would sell to me for $500 it runs but its an automatic and he says that third gear is gone and it also has a dent where the gas cap is, so should i buy it and swap in the 5 speed transmission i got from guiedo and then just get my hatch running or not buy it and put the 5 speed transmission in my hatch. the way i see it is how often can you buy a running coupe for that cheap but at the same time its a single cam, but i do have the front bumber and fenders from a chuki i can slap on it too. so buy the pignose coupe or fix my chuki hatch?

Get the coupe, since your accord is crap, it won't hurt to have another car @ your disposal.

the only thing i think that really making me lean towards not buying it is the fact that i really dont have a place to put another car, but its funny cause my dad is trying to talk me into getting it but i dont think that hes thinking that it will make the yard look like a used car lot. my 240 is sitting in the driveway and my mom parks her car behind it and then me and my dad have to park in the grass. my dad also wants me to get it and keep one of them an automatic and do the 5 speed swap in the other one so if my moms car breaks down then she can drive the automatic one to work, i told him that he should buy it so its one less car i have to worry about fixing and i'll help him fix it.

Gregg that's a good plan, if dad wants mom to have a back up car then he should @ least go half on it.

I need your guys help. I have a chance to get a 300zx TT, but I have to give up both my 240s that I have. Do you think this is a good idea? It would have end up being about $10,000 less for the 300zx, because of the long list I want to do to the 240. I don't know what to do and you guys know how much of a newbie I am. Please help! Here are some pictures:







and a list of what it has. I am going to go look at it on Thursday, but I haven't made up my mind.

-1992 NISSAN 300ZX, 146K mi, air bag, abs, ac, ps, cc, tilt, lthr, p/seats, p/windows, tint, am/fm, pdl, p/mirrors, sunroof, Twin Turbos, T Tops Nice Car, $5,500

Thanks for you help. Just get back to me soon. Oh and one more thing. I was wanting to put a VG30DETT in the 240, but this already has it. Please don't factor in my procasinater mentality, just tell me if you would do it if you have the chance.

meh automatic..

but nothing you cant solve with the stillen 6spd transmission conversion ::high five::

upgrade the side mounts and you'll have a highway monster. i'd almost say go for it if they weren't a ***** and a half to work on. as long as its been maintained, go for it. you can always pick up another 240 for nothing.

dude stick with the s13. i know the z32 is very temping but think about it like i do and think in the end when all your plans are done what you would be more happy with. with the s13 you have the chance to put alot of blood sweat and tears into it to make it your dream 240 if thats what you want or you can do the same with the z32 but with you stating that you wanna do some racing the 240 does have a lower curb weight. dude im a procrastinater myself so dont let your procrastinating way sway you from chasing your dream because without your dream you have nothing but a pile of scrap metal in your yard.
