but you gotta describe a little bit how driving that POS before the 240 was, just like the OP did.....

nico is not an official car reviewer, but how else are you going to get a glance of how other cars really are? specially since we all share that 240 love......

nissan for life putos
sorry let me give a brief description of each.

fc- hands down my favorite car i've owned, that's why i still have it. far sportier then an s13 since it is more of a true sports car. bought it bone stock for $4500 with 120k on teh chassis and less then 1k on the rebuilt motor. motor was rebuilt by a local rotary guru and ran fine for me. it did have a leaky injector o ring for a while that would give me some grief but the engine was very solid. the gas mileage was crappy even on the highway and i dailyed it almost an hour one way to school and it never left me sit. i did things a little backwards and learned to work on rotaries first then learned on normal engines. the fc is still my true automotive love and i love the high revs it sees even while daily driving. its currently sitting in my barn awaiting a slow, meticulous restoration.

s13 pignose- my first s13, i paid $2700 for it with fresh tires, brakes, alignment and inspection. had kybs, strut bars, rucas and a few other little things. very pleased with it and loved the sohc. the one in that car was in particularly good shape and was very clean.

was a fun car that i had big plans for since it was in good shape and rustless but i sold it to buy the black s13

black s13- i leapt without looking and ended with a 93 SE with an sr already swapped in and 200k miles on the chassis. i was basically entranced by the sr and because of the low hanging fiberglass body kit i wasnt able to see the horrible rust underneath. it was nice to have power options as opposed to my last s13, a base model. i love the sr and its in my new shell, but don't ever let anyone tell you a high mileage chassis isn't bad. i will never own a high mileage chassis again and hated how run down feeling the car felt from being so beat. i finally put the car out of its misery and took it to the scrap yard.

1st car - 89 Buick Regal Custom, got it for 400 bucks with no major issues and 50k on the engine with 145k on the body, only problem I had is I swapped out the water pump.

2nd car - Chyrsler LHS, more comfy than my moms Caddilac seville and it had more options

3rd car- 01 Olds alero GLS It was a pretty nice car to just get around in, comfortable... not my style though and a girly car

4th car - 96 Mustang GT with pi hieads and pi intake manifold but non-pi cams (wtf?) It was torquey as hell but had no balls up top and couldn't get around in the winter... also it was a slushbox.

5th car - 02 WRX, its currently got up pipe, down pipe, catback, 20 lbs of boost on stock turbo, turbo inlet, short ram intake, ssac top mount intercooler, cxracing radiator and gimmick silicone radiator hoses, walbro, modded stock injectors, and tuned on e85. Fun a** car, I'm trying to figure out if I wanna keep it or sell it for something more reliable for a DD.

6th car hopefully will be a ka24de s13, basically gonna be just a project car though
