Well since I have gotten all the money from my insurence from the wreck. Its time to figure out what to do about a car. I mean I really like the celica and all, but I think that I want a 240sx. The reasons why I want one are: 1. RWD, 2. more power than a gt, 3. more boost friendly IE SR20DET swap, different styling on it, 4. these pics are also what made me think about it more.

those are what made me think more about it. I still have the kit and other stuff, so that wouldn't take me as long to get it back to where it was. If I get another 6th gen its more for sentamental reasons more than anything else. But the 240 is looking really sweet though, but I would have to put more money into the swap and other stuff to make it go fast. let me know what you think and tell me why you think it.

got 20K? snag yourself a DODGE NEON SRT-4 if you want to have some fun..

It's has a PROVEN 2.4L Turbo Engine <-- iron block..

The MOPAR STAGE 1-3 upgrades are covered the the 7 year powertrain warranty

0-60 in 5.1 seconds - 220-240 WHP <--- YES WHP STOCK (Dodge underrated it by stating it's 215 CRANK HP)..

The '04 will have an LSD smile.gif

I should have bought one instead of my spec frown.gif Cost me the same once I put a turbo on mine..

It's internals can definitely take the abuse, alot of peeps are wondering if the QR25 can even handle 250 WHP properly (SPECV/Altima 2.5L engine).

change the front bumper and the sideskits and it will kinda look like a 4 door celica hatcback smile.gif

Awww...c'mon. It's still a NEON. I'm partial to the MR-2 3sgte myself. My friend was thinking about getting one but then changed his mind.

As for stickin in the family. I know this guy who works at a tool store that owns two miatas, one boosted. One guy who lives across from my friend owns three firebirds. One of my fomer bosses drives nothing but mercedies, and my girlfriends entire extended family drives nothing but Toyotas.

I considered the 240sx, but I definitly didn't know anything about cars at the time when I bought my Celica. I choose it over the 240 just cause it looked sooooo goooood. Knowing what I know now and being able to perform a swap, I know I'd still make the same decision.

If you wanna try something different why not the rx-7? I hear you gotta rebuild the engine ever 4k, but I'm sure if you take care of it it'll be fine. Rotary engines are crazy too.
