[JDMEnthused]

[sd8ted]

do u think im that dumb? haha jk...even though my car has problems everyweek i wouldnt sell it for 1000dollars. if...and i prolly wont ever...it would be for like 5500.

Wes

[JDMEnthused]

i hear that.. my car should be in tip top shape in November, or after. so, im good on that one.

[mewannadorifto]

haha that caught my attention

[scs13]

the funny thing about people hating common motor swaps is that now everyone is gonna wanna do something different. so as soon as you do something different, everyone else has been doing the same thing.

[mewannadorifto]

SCs13 have you talked to your friend about his car?

[scs13]

i called his *** a few times but he is never home, sorry man, ill keep trying to get in touch with him. remind me tomorrow about it early if you can and ill keep calling him.

eh, good point .. oh well, i highly doubt people will start to put VG motors in their 240s just to be trendy but.. i could be wrong i mean hell, look at the SR20( no offense Wes )

[240kid]

honestly most ppl do the common thing cause its a cheap turbo motor know what i mean?

[scs13]

im sure wes doesnt care, he probobly didnt do it to be trendy (except his sucks right now ) . i guess some people do, especially lately. but its the engine thats supposed to be in there so its a relatively simple and cheap way to do it. tons of aftermarket, plenty of potential. you know. it does suck that i pretty much see more nissans in gay magazines than hondas these days. and i see more swapped 240s in the iwanna sometimes than ka ones.

[JDMEnthused]

(except his sucks right now )

i hope u were kidding about that..

[JDMEnthused]

very good point..

damnit you beat me to it

i hope u were kidding about that..

i was jk, just giving him **** because of his water pump explosion

[JDMEnthused]

OH! i thought u were talking to me.. Im Wes Kennington by the way.. if you not want to confuse me anymore just use Wes K :-D

i get confused about that.. my bad

[sd8ted]

i didnt even think about the swap being trendy really. this is what was wrong with my car when i got it: on the sohc motor, 3 of 4 inj were pouring, crank case was leaking, transmission was shot, oil hasnt been changed in months...so engine was shot. it wouldve been alittle less to get that motor fixed...or buy a de..and have him put it in...or buy an SR.

so i did what anyone that loves cars would do...bought the SR.

Wes

[JDMEnthused]

damn.. how much did u buy ur 240 for?( i know we have already went over this)

i have a bad memory, youll have to forgive me if i ever ask anyone a question in here.

[sd8ted]

bought the car for 1600

it had a fairly new metallic blue paint, new struts, and a really clean interior

and btw...its ok...i dont mind answering the repeated questions.

Wes

[JDMEnthused]

i see... mine retailed for over 2k but.. i got it for 900 cause my dad knew the guy. purty cool. 3 days until November! yesss

[mewannadorifto]

yeah I have yet to get mine, like 2 or 3 years ago I could have got one for 1,000 a 5spd good condition with a K&N intake and Exhaust oh and a Shifter

[mewannadorifto]

on the shifter it was just the knob not the short shifter

[JDMEnthused]

lol i was jsut about to mention that:-p
