Rep Power: 0 just make sure that when you go to look at it, you check for the things that matter (i.e rust, wrinkles in the frame, matching numbers, that kinda thing..), its kinda erie how cheap it is...

Rep Power: 0 Some specific spots to check for rust on 240's - under rear spoiler(if it's a hatch), frame rails(towards the front), also strut towers(on top and near the firewall).

the 240 needs a swap too, and probalby would cost about the same as any other swap after everything and labor
but yes, it's fun as hell, my friend drives a rps13 and that thing moves

Rep Power: 283 okay....so ur tryin' to save up $250. IF you buy it how long is it gonna take you to save up the $$. cuz if you're wantin' the sr20det which is a 2.0 4 cylinder will cost roughly $1300-$1500. what year is it? cuz ive gotta a friend who owns a company that spelcializes in 240's s13's s14's so on and so forth.

240sx s13 DOHC
HP - 155
Torque - 160
Weight - 2657lbs.
1/4 mile - 16.10
0-60 - 7.9
That's 60lbs. more than a new civic ex coupe. Not enough to call the 240sx a pig.
