What's up!!!! I'm a noob @ this forum and I recently acquired a 1991 Red 240sx from a cousin of mine. It had issues but I had them fixed. I installed new tires, fixed the wiper motor (wrong fuse was being used), repaired the locking mechanism for the fuel door and installed new rear hatch struts. I'm in the process of getting the car inspected and I'm in the market for a new catback and hi-flow cat. converter. Enough with the talking and here are some pics of the ride...





The car is running strong even though it has over 210000 miles on it. According to my cousin, the engine was rebuilted 4-5 years ago. It will be my daily car and hoping to garage my other car (04 Subaru WRX). Here is a pic my suby as it stands as of now..



Hope to meet some cool peeps here and @ the meets.

Thanks meng! I love my suby but I really can't abuse it specially I drive back and forth from Southern MD to Va. Beach every weekend. I'm not going to mod the hell out of it. Just intake, exhaust, coilovers and some rims but time will tell.

My cousin told me that the previous owner before him was an old man who used the 240 to tow small boats for fishing. It still has the tow hitch and I'm planning to get rid of it.

It is a very clean car and everything is stock. Interior needs new door cards, seats and a stereo but it doesn't bother me. Not bad for an 18 year old car and you really can't beat it when you get the car for free. All I had to do was to get everything fixed and I can drive it off the driveway.

I never heard of an impreza gt coupe unless you are talking about a 2.5rs but I might be wrong.

Beautiful, welcome to the club bro!

I hate you for having a white subie though, i want one. Would not have the funds to do what i would want to do though.

There was one at HIN Austin, it was that pearl white that came on the 06-07.... OMG!

Good stuff!

One Love,

Ghasty

Thanks for the comments. I will definitly post updates of my 240. I was hoping there's like a parts/vendor review section of this forum to ease the search of looking for good quality parts for the car.
