Well being who I am and my love for SOHC, I say go with a S13 with a single slammer.

You get a little less HP to start off with but it is sooo much easier to work on. But that's just my own personal prefrence .

BTW another question is, if you do plan on getting another 240, do you really wanna get rid of this one, especialy with a good engine. Why not just pick up a shell for really cheap, I see them go for 600 to 1500 all the time and just swap the engines.

Sorry to hear about that. At least you arent hurt. Are you willing to sell interior parts as well. Like the shift boot if it is in good condition and or the driver side doorlock window control. Please email me @ [email protected] need shipped to 95624

thanks for the concern i think i may buy a supra if i cant find an s14 or swapped s13 cheap enough but im not sure what im going to do with this car now the wheels (350z)/tires (potenza up front ventus k-104 rear wider tires in the back about 45% tread ) /suspension kyb (gr-2 with tein springs with less then 5000 miles theyve barely even settled all theway) are worth more than $1000 alone if someone wants to buy the whole wrecked car for 2k ill take it because thats what its worth with everything on it the engine bay on this car is still spotless the motor is rebuilt with less then 20k brand new ac system drier comp lines etc its got good after market speakers except tweets i just put in ngk iridiums last week its got an act clutch 5-spd newer oem r.l.c.a's red powder coated v/c 3inch catback 4.5 inch tip fresh oil always no leaks the headlights are spotless one of the fogs was busted by the effing tow truck guy he also pulled the front bumper off but its not damaged badly just pulled in the corners the se lip could use some flat black krylon but is intact i have reciepts for some of the stuff on the car and beside the big imprint of the light pole the cars spotless dude if anyone has the facilities available to part out this car and has some extra cash laying around they should jump all over it' its worth alot more then 2k if parted and there are plenty of nico members who will buy the bits and pieces the car was seviced by me under the supervision of my father who is an ase certified master techician with more then 35yrs exp behind him it runs great (except for the pole imprint)

please checkout the link in my sig to the turbo stuff ive got up for sale
