Proud New Owner of an S13 240

[asher4857]

So my friend was driving down the road yesterday and saw a black fastback with a for sale sign on it. When he went to take a closer look, he saw it was a 1989 with 81,000 miles on it. Since I have been looking for a 240 and he already has one, he gave me a call. I called the guy who owned it, made an appointment that same day to drive it.

Since I can't drive stick, my dad and my friend who spotted it drove it. Apparently it shifts incredibly smooth through all 5 gears. Runs great. The exterior is in great condition except for a little peeling on the rear bumper and by the middle brake light.

It was recently tuned, serviced and inspected. all of this.. for 1500. What an incredible find.

My first car, My first 240.. pics coming soon

[yessir240]

awsome ...goodluck on learning a stick it only takes time = ) ps... dont burn your clutch!

[Axel Grungy]

mannnn that old with only 80k miles WOW you got a STEALLLL!!!!!!!

[asher4857]

yea tell me about it.. that guy only got it 6 months ago but works at the shipyard... so he got a truck to haul **** around cuz obviously the 240 cant hold much.. so he wanted to sell it.. he could have so sold that thing for so much more.. its in incredible condition for a 240.. hell.. for a car that old..

and trust me.. i will not be learning stick in that car... im not ruining that clutch.. ill prolly learn in my friend AE86. hes getting a new clutch and transmission anyway

[slipnfall]

Dude I wouldn't sweat it Re: learning clutch. Clutches are made to be worn, so so what if you burn one up learning: you saved enough buying the car to afford another one. j/k. Nice find, hope you enjoy it!

[asher4857]

hahahaha.. thanx a lot man..

yea im the one in the blue.. first car ever.. first 240

[NSR240sxe]

Wow, congratulations! Very clean 240, an 89 with only 81K miles for 1500 thats a steal. I dont think you could've gotten a better deal. Good luck with it and with learning stick lol. Dont worry I'm learning too. Harder then you would think, but it just takes a lot of practice and a good friend who will let you practice on their car. What are your plans for your new 240? Damn, your sooo lucky...what a deal lol

[sensibleS13driver]

thats such a find!! wow best deal in a while, my friend just got a S13 for 1500 and it is such a bucket, yours on the other hand, nice,

[HashiriyaS14]

wow!

That's the best deal I've heard about since that one guy got an S14 Kouki for $2500.

NICE! Very clean.

[asher4857]

What are your plans for your new 240?

I dont have much planned for this.. no swap thats for sure... Im deffinatly going a cone filter.. prolly K&N.. I might do a new intake.. highly considering the BRM exhaust system and im THINKING of going KA-T.. thats pretty much all..

[CaoBoY]

nice h0m0 hubcaps (dont worry i had them also, but quickly switched to some teardrop rims, just a little less h0m0) thats a friggin STEAL though! have fun with it...is ur dash cracked at all?

[asher4857]

no cracks in the dash.. AT ALL.... im serious.. this is the nicest looking 240 ive ever seen...

and yea im taking the hub caps off

[CaoBoY]

no cracks in the dash.. AT ALL.... im serious.. this is the nicest looking 240 ive ever seen...

and yea im taking the hub caps off

[napoleon dynamite]black on black, no cracks, LUCKY!!![/napoleon dynamite]yea...those hubcaps make the 240's look like girl cars...its a fricken MAN car! lol

[asher4857]

upon further inspection/cleaning, i found the *** hid a huge hole in the carpet underneath the floor mats.. the metal underneath isnt rusted or anything so thats good.. other than that.. the standard new seats will be required and new back seats also.. if anyone wants to sit in the back or that small *** car..

[asher4857]

my 240 is now sleepy eyed. very quick mod... literally 2 min.. hardest part was taking the button out... also took the seats out and cleaned around a little bit

[skydragoness]

PLEASE DON'T CRASH IT!(refer to the 'wreck' thread in this forum)

The S13 is a tricky car for a new driver, you may luck out and learn the car's quirks and adjust very well to it, or you may just do what that other kid did and drive 15mph *over* in a 30mph speed limit zone and understeer into a tree. First mod, and the best one: high quality tires. Throwing on some 'futurama' tires from Pepboys will not cut it--ESPECIALLY when it rains. I highly recommend Bridgestone RE950's for wet-weather performance. Learn the car's quirks in a isolated, safe environment and keep it civil on the streets.

btw, NICE FIND!

[eds13]

did you need anything special to sleepy eye it? or how do you do it?

[TheLocust]

pop the headlight switch out, snip the brown wire, put a end wire cap on and voila. Insta-sleepy eyes. I have charged people 10 dollars to do this mod, make sure they pay you up front and it'll be better if they dont see you do the 'trick'

[eds13]

nevermind. search link new best friend!!

<--- shoots himself.

My 89' I purchased for 3k.
