wercked my car last week. Van hit me head on. I was thinking about just saving my money and buying a 240 with a sr20 already in it. I have been looking on ebay. Just wonder what would be the best way to do it? buy one on ebay or some other way.

Find a good shell with no motor/bad motor and either do the swap yourself or find a good shop to do it. I suppose buying one with it already done is a viable option...I wouldn't trust it though(unless I had a chance to inspect it, test drive it, etc.), but that's just me

I wouldn't buy one that has already been swapped because when something breaks, I won't know what to look for or how things work. Knowledge is the key.

Well...do you have a seperate car to drive? if so, doing it yourself would be perfect...take all the time you need, studying about it, etc. Just get some friends to help out on things you can't do yourself, ask lots of questions on the forums, try and find people in your area to help out, etc...
