Hello,My name is Jim. I just became the owner of a 97 240sx se 5 speed. Love it already best car I have had. Previuos cars not realy worth mentioning 98 Mitsu GSX auto, sucked, 2001 Mitsu ECLIPSE GT Spyder sucked. Anyway new guy, so I'll probably ask lots of questions. Hope you guess will help.

good thing you got rid of the Eclipse. Too new to do any mild engine work unless you wanna take care of the crankwalk problems as well as the lightweight parts that they started using towards the end of the production years.

Well in short it might have been a lemon 2 years and $13000.00 yes $13,000.00 worth of warranty work. Spent more time in the shop than on the road, but it was still fun to drive,

Yeah, bye bye eclipse, I think the crank walk thing might have come early. At one point I did break a connecting rod.But no compaints, cause now I have a 240.
