Noticed a lot of this "bought a 240, ran into problems, selling 240" situations. Kid around here apparently saw all the magazines, ended up with 3 240s between him and his dad. Ran into problems on the SR engines and sold all 3 within 4-5 months. Kids like this piss me off. If you are gonna do something, stick to it, and do it right. If you run into unforeseen problems (serious finances, etc) then ok, but this kid's parents were loaded and would buy anything he wanted.

People need to research more on what they are getting into. And some do, but the younger people have a tendency not to.

What makes me sad is the guy went all "Skyline conversion" and it's still a 4 lug car???

As for these kids buying halfway doing something and then selling the car, that should be good, assuming they don't think they made an investment. "Logic" says if you buy a car, go half arsed about fixing it and then re-sell it you should take a loss, therefore "project cars" should be cheaper.

everyone has their own taste. everybody likes to be different in some sort of way. there is no need to bash someones ideas just because you dont like the way they look. i personally like the way they look. they give these cars a custom view.

I like the 240 with skyline conversion... Ive seen worse and this one seems ok relatively speaking...

I bought my 240 when I was 18 and I did stupid things but Im sticking with this car until I have to total it...

yeah it does look like an integra.....................

But is that because we see so many intergras with supra lights? If supras are rare cars, why do we see more supra lights on all kinds of cars other than supras?

But the Front of that S14 was very poorly done.
