Sorry for the noob question....

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

So I am totally new to the 240sx... I decided to drop Hondas, and go for some rear wheel drive fun. As I was gazing through craigslist... I saw that 2/3 240sx's had transmission problems... Do they have weak trannys? And can one be rebuilt or can I find a replace for it at a reasonable price?

Like I said sorry for the noob question.

[xX RB Xx]

post up pictures of your hondas and ill tell you the answer

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

Don't have any pictures.. Sorry dude.

[sr20power]

Why not I second that ^ & then I'll tell you the answer....

Do they have weak trannys?

they dont have weak transmission's, some people just suck at shifting

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

Am I missing something?

[S13k]

its a joke, but really some people suck at shifting especially when down shifting, ive seen it done

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

Haha yeah I got that... I was just curious as to what the others are getting at?

[S13k]

i think those are joke too, cuz a lot of people hate honda's here, but im not one of them...

[xX RB Xx]

i dont hate them.. i just dont like the drivers.

[S13k]

^^same here

Why pick a 240, OP? There are plenty of inexpensive RWD cars to pick from. Miata, MR2, FC RX7, MKIII Supra, SC300... Hell, even S2000's are getting cheap. Don't be a sheep. Think outside the box.

And our transmissions are pretty stout.

they wanna see if you're a legit enthusiast or just some other mad tyte jdm fanboy, yo.

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

Ah okay... My bad guys for bringing up Honda's... I should have known better. But anyways for those of you guys that helped me... Thanks I appreciate it.

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

Okay how do I show my enthusiast side?

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

Ok.. I like 240sx. My friends cousin had a sweet 240 with an SR swap. Put at 13 lbs of boost... It smoked everything in its path... The reason i dont want a mr2 is its mid engine... not looking for that. Miata is a chick car. And i am high school student. Not looking for the tip top car. Just something i can have fun in without doing many mods if any. I was reading about the 240s and they have a good history such as longevity and the aftermarket is full of different paths to go on.

[hilux30]

it will show in time depending on which route you take your 240, that means if you are all about the looks OR you do something unique and make it a machine to drive not just to look at, style or function?? that is the question

[Cheezy_FiZZle]

Well like I said previosly... I am in high school. So for now just cosmetic. If I do anything more, it would just be some coilovers and a camber kit. After school and a get a second car. My goal would be to do an sr swap. But who knows.

. Miata is a chick car

Yeah. Your opinions are now Moot. Forever. Until you are dead.

P.S What Honda's did you have previously? Pix R GTFO!. Me-I am serious.

[ViciousCesar]

[Didderson]

Yup, I saw that miata snark too lol! Def. lost credibility there boy. It's all about the suspension geometry these days nub. Don't just think about straight line performance.

[TroubleBound]

Yeah it's probably just a string of bad luck that you keep finding bad-transmission 240's, i have 2 and they are both running strong on their original transmissions. (one with 145,000 and one with 240,000) Just keep looking it took me almost 2 months to find a hatchback that wasn't molested, but im happy i held out its the funnest car ive had (out of only 3 though..86 camaro, 91 infiniti m30) and i'll never get rid of it.

If you do end up getting one with a bad transmission though it should be pretty inexpensive to replace, people are always pulling ka's out for swaps.

The reason i dont want a mr2 is its mid engine... not looking for that. Miata is a chick car.

You know you dun f***ed now, right?

Chick car.

Do you have any idea how easy & cheap it is to be a Camry V6 in here?!

Don't make me bomb this thread with all the other neglected FR's, like the Z31's/Z32's Soarers and MKIII Supra's!

So many options... So many options...

^YES! The hotness!

Mid engine, rear wheel drive is the shiznit!

And don't forget... some of them have targa tops!

The op is clearly a fanboy and is automotively confused. Yes, this is a Nissan forum, but most of us recognize a good platform when we see it, regardless of the brand.

[sr20power]

^ I agree...

[simmode1]

And just to add to that... I would be sooo annoyed if everybody in my crew all drove the same car. I was just on Risky Devils blog last night and they got some of everything in their squad. Now they know wsup...
