My friend wants to trade me his bone stock 1989 240SX fastback (180SX body) with 206k miles on it that he just picked up for $1k the other day + $2000 cash for my car. I only owe $1600 on my car, so i'd be pocketing $400 on the deal and I would have the title to the 240 in hand.

I'm thinking redtop sr20det swap, big FMIC, 3" dp and exhaust, z32 5-lug brake conversion & mc, ebc to raise boost, s15 hid headlights from my friend with the s13.5 fenders, s15 cf hood, s15 aftermarket front bumper, rps13 kouki tail lights, and i've got a pretty sweet daily driver during the week, in addition to my GT-R on the weekends.

what does everyone think? should i go for it?

 

Tough one, I'd go for the car you like the best...

 

NISMO power...woohoo.

I say sell it and then sell me the Jimfab.

 

i say you would be losing out cause you'd be getting a bonestock car but its your ride do what you want

 

thats a horrible trade...id say the 240sx plus 4k...

 

i think i could get $4-5k out of my EF if I parted it, but i'm actually only into it $3000-3500 since i got *KILLER* deals on most of my parts (ie. $1300 for a complete 92 gs-r wrecked). i ony owe $1600 on it.

i've never driven an FR car before, i'm used to FF only. i love the way my skyline drives and handles though, and i see lots of potential in this s13. i look at what my end goals would be for my civic vs the s13 and I see myself a lot happier and more satisfied in the end with the s13.

any other opinions?

 

I wouldn't do it, but it is your choice.

 

You shouldn't be paying more than 3500 for a stock 240, especially an 89!

Just check out prices on recycler.com, i don't think many 89s would hit past 3k at all.

umm... he's paying me $2k plus giving me his car that he bought for $1k for my EF.

 

if you live near pa i'd trade ya my 90 240 sx with 145k on it plus 2500 cash.

 

240 is nice, but i would say no!!!!!

 

OH woops, so your ef for the 240 and 2k. Sounds fair to me, hah.

whoa, what color, condition, body style, mods, etc... on your 240? i would be down to meet you if you're serious.

 

Bah... I would keep the hatch.

 

i'm going for it I think guys. the new owner said he'd let me drive it whenever i want, and if he ever decides to sell it i have automatic first dibs. good deal!

 

go for it dude get a new expeince but u should get a lil more than $2000

 

I want to do amid 90's silva too, but funds aren't cooperating.

 

id do it. i thinking of getting a 240sx also.

 

If the project phase is where you get your enjoyment, sell the EF and start again on a 240

If the payoff for all that hard work is what drives, you...keep your car and enjoy it.

There's a lot to be said for having the car paid for and no debt...if you could avoid going into debt to modify the 240, that would be the most fiscally prudent choice.

 

if the 240 was swapped then i would say ok....but other then that..dont do it...but then u seem adament on getting it....follow your heart....because you will end up regretting it...i sound like a love story...hahah...

 

I really love my 240. Just something about a RWD car. I am not real into body kits and conversions so to me it would be up to which ever car is faster. The swapped 240 or the civic you have now.

 

the guy semi backed out of the trade. kind of frustrating, but hey, what can ya do? i'll be finishing up the project that this EF has truly been. install suspension, do body work, strip and paint the whole car. then i'm thinking about some ITR cams, and a 2.5" collector header until I can afford a turbo setup.

 

I'll give you $1500 just for the b17 swap, any day you feel like pulling it out!
