the bad things... When I bought the car it barely ran, was dirty as hell, and had the most ridiculous side skirts on it(i assume to cover rust,) I took them off to find rusty rockers, not that bad. Looking at the rust is better then looking at the old skirts. I cleaned the shit outta this car and nurtured it back to life and was surprised on how bad it ran on old ass spark plugs. I put new plugs in and it ran PERFECT!! Fixed leaky ass coolant lines, fixed the vacuum line situation which was a shit show when I first picked up the car.

Also the car has issues running when its not fully warmed up... It just studders a bit around 3000RPM if you try to boost hard. I blame this on the 440CC injectors. The previous owner had a t28 on it, but it has a t25 on it now, so it runs a bit rich, and runs funny cold, i believe stock injectors would definitly fix this, and make this car 100%. Once the car is warmed up it boosts great, idles great, runs great and eats mustangs and rx8s.

I think that this car just needs some side skirts, stock injectors and some nice wheels and it would be done.... perfect car for drifting!

Price is OBO, and will take trades plus cash for anything!
Your not gonna drive this car unless you are serious and show me some CASH. This car drives straight, brakes hard and accelerates fast.

[megafandrew]

very nice 240sx looks like it would be a great project for me, and careful on that skateboard offer, Ill take you up on it lol:eek: hey what kind of car for trade were you looking for or what did you want. I am interested in the car wether it was cash or trade and cash.

[Gibson]

The suspension is INTRAX, the hood is a Seibon, and when it was sold to the bloke that bought it before you, it had an Exedy racing clutch.

Haha, and for those interested, he's a pic of it with the skirts and the rims (I dunno where these are now):

[monkee_pride]

PM'd check your mailbox.

[blueripper6]

I know the guy who made the tune for the t28 in this car.. im gonna contact him and see if he will make one for the t25 on this car... that should solve the studder issue! Ill be getting that in the car ASAP.

Took the car for a test drive today! boost + rain = no grip lol.

Monkee.. pm replied

-oh and I took the boost gauge off of the dash and put it in the glove box. makes the interior look WAYYY cleaner.

[S13_Ryan]

what good is a boost gauge doing in a glove box?

controller yah sure, ... but a boost gauge?

[blueripper6]

What good does a boost gauge do anyways?
The car is pretty much stock, not like im boosting 20LBS or anything. It doesnt light up so you cant see it at night anyways, and it was fucking ugly sitting on the dash ziptied up! bleh..
i hardly even looked at it after the 2nd day of driving it. lol.

[300zx_007]

No I dont....
Best offer so far is $3000.. looks like its going for that. The funny thing is the guy bought a stock auto 240 with more bodywork concerns then my car for $500 less then my car. Owell.. looks like hes getting hooked up on this car.

[blueripper6]

bumpity... anyone?
Car is likely to be sold june 5th, for $3000

[blueripper6]

hmm it seems if my car had a stock motor I could get 3000 for it...

I got a new cell phone so if you wanna look at the car... 4674829.

[blueripper6]

Car had inspection today..

mechanic noted:
no cat(lol)
steering rack leaks
oil leak from oilpan
rust

So the no cat and rust are a given... steering rack leaks a little bit, the leak from the oilpan is probably not even worth mentioning because between my last oilchange I didnt have to add any oil.. but owell

Everything else on this car is fine.. so i guess it needs a steering rack, thats not bad.

[nevis686]

bump for ca 18 love but coupe is poop unless you rool with chute

[blueripper6]

Hood and seats have been switched out for stock.
Taking offers of $2500 and trades, anyone with a nice condition civic or something want a turbo car??

[blueripper6]

bump.... sell. got an iPhone with a new number so pm or email [email protected] if interested. going to vancity in like 10 days want to sell or trade before then.... thanks. will entertain trades of almost anything but would prefer a stock rwd manual car. woot

[ITR420]
