im soo happy at the moment, i own a tired 90 240sx that ive had for 3 years now. the guy i bought it off of didnt maintain it right and so the rear alignment is off 2 inches, and there is unibody rot that i have patched twice now to keep at bay. i have put so much money into this particular car (with NO regrets either) that i couldnt bear of getting rid of her ever....unless i found another 240 with no rust. well that day has finally come.i was actually looking to spend 1k-1500 on a rice rocket and i came across a 90 240 red ext/blk intr. i decided to look and tha kid only wanted 850.00 for it. well tha body is in immaculant condition (there is little dents and stuff, but NO RUST) and it has 220k on it so i figured that the motor might be on its way out or the transmission is gone, that wouldnt be a problem because i got the sohc in my 240 and a dohc in my computer room, plus a transmission for both in my shed. i was wrong tho, the kid lost his license (dwi) and needs cash.

so now i got to swap out my springs and struts. luckly thats all. and start to work on my new 240!!!

yes in my computer room i have a ka24de sitting here, im gonna probibly get it rebuilt (stock) and then swap it into my 240. reason im swapping the motor in is because the dohc handles turbo better then the single cam, they make more turbo parts for the dohc, and from what im told the internals are just a little better then the sohc and can take more of a beaten. i need a couple of things for the dohc like an alternator and such, because the kid i got it off of took some stuff off it for his friends de. i got the motor for free with a transmission so i didnt argue.and yes the transmission for the sohc and dohc (2 different ones) are in one of my sheds, the other shed has my dirtbike

run a check on the car to check if its not stolen first. Then apply for a lost title/new title. If that doesn't work it crazy how your current vin# and parts fell on the new 240.

naw this car is legit, i bought it from a dealership salesman who bought it from the dealership he works at. the reason its only 850.00 is because it has shot rear struts, power steering system is phuked up (it steers like it doesnt have the belt on, i havent checked it out yet), interior is dirty as hell and all around he dont know what it was worth lolhis loss, my deal!!
