Currently drive a 2000 prelude and I am looking into gettting a 240 when my car is payed off, so around 2 years. I just thought I would start doing some research now that way when it come time to get rid of the prelude I will have a good place to start on the 240.

Sell your lude now and get some mods for a 240.

Post by **khilgers** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

^^no I'm not getting rid of it just yet.

I want to finish my plans for the lude and then eventually get a 240 as either a project car or as my daily driver.

at least you've got the right idea - research. It'll really come in handy when buying your car in the future. I impressed the guy I bought my 240 from with my knowledge of it, and in return he was super nice and got all the DMV crap done for me so I didn't have to

Are u sure you can switch from FWD to RWD so quickly?

Post by **sr20power** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

what do you mean so quickly. This isn't gonna be for a couple more years. And I've driven RWD before, so I don't see it really being a problem.

Post by **DSM91** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

Do what I did, get both at the same time

I've never driven a RWD car before, but I am quite used to my AWD. It makes enough power to bring the rear end around when I want it to, so I am sure I can get used to RWD too.

well welcome to NICO, i hope yall find everyone here very informative and friendly, and also, as already stated, good idea doing research early, only helps you in the end, and also, NICE lude, its the only honda ive ever really liked, ive always had somewhat of a soft spot of the ITR, but i like the lude much more than most hondas (excluding s2k and nsx of course) and also, i see your lil list of mods, quite nice, clean car, have u ever taken her to the track??

once you learn the sn*wdrift with the 240 your all good with RWD. I drove my 240 all winter long though all the snowstorms, i am no longer afraid

Post by **240SXedUp** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

I was just kidding about the RWD thing. Just saying that RWD is alot more fun

Post by **Kaioshin1982** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

is it REALLY that different from FWD to RWD? I always have droven RWD and never FWD.... like whats the difference that u can feel?

Post by **Anand** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

Welcome to the Family....

Don't worry about it... I went from a FWD to a RWD in a day... on top of that from an Auto to a Manual...

to make things worse... I learned how to drive manual in my 240...so yes... it CAN be done.. I burnt the clutch in like 2 months after I got it... and no one taught me how to drive a manual.. i basically taught myself in my 240.. I drove the sucker home from the dealer lot by myself... on the freeways and stuff... it's not that big of a deal... you learn after you make a few mistakes

luckily i didn't get ina crash or anything but spun myc ar out a coupleof times... but that taught me how much my car can handle... so more power to you...

the only thing is try to get rid of your car now and get a 240.. don't wait.. the more you wait the older the 240's get since they don't make them anymore...get it?

Welcome khilgers!

I've got a lude myself (92 S) used to be turboed, but now its just swapped (h23a1). My G/F has an SH.

Im also a web developer. Are you my brother?!? Or..evil twin?

Post by **khilgers** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

Thanks for the comments on the lude. Anyway j92s, nice to see a fellow luder. As for the comment about selling the prelude right now, I know that 240's are harder to come by, but I just don't want to get rid of the lude yet. It's not finished.....yet. I'm sure I'll still be able to find a 240 within 2 years, right?

Post by **Thee 240sx Owner** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

Nice lude man.... Like nlzmo400r Said... Its really the only nice looking honda that i've liked... and don't wait too long on the 240.... If you see one thats in good condition.. don't wait get it and have both cars... they aren't that expensive

Post by **Jookmasta** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 7:33 pm

Welcome.......nice lude......take care of it and dont sell it. just save up and have both a 240 and a lude. you'll have more fun. good idea with researching the car. it will make you end out on top in the long run
