I'm looking at two 240SX's right now and there is a third one for sale down the road from my house I might go for. SR20Det's are pretty easy to come by especially the S13 verisions (red top, I think). I can get one fully rebuilt with all the parts needed for the swap for $2,500, all I have to do is put it in. I want a RWD import and the 240 is the cheapest (and most common) option also.

hanyo does have a point. i think the 240 with the red top would be alot of fun! i learned how to drive using a 240 and was taking corners like crazy and spining out. this was before anyone in the US knew drifting.
If you want practicality, then get a 240 and a redtop swap. If you really love the celica like the rest of us, then do a 3sgte. -------------------- Chris Malaqui

I'd take a 3SGTE Celica over an S13... it'll split between an S14 and Celica. 240sx's are basically the new "Civic" for wannabe drifters.

Hmm...S13 definately not, S14, IDK I might opt for that. S15, no chance in hell I'd pass that up. Theres a kid around here that has a Japanese S14 he imported w/o and engine and put in an SR20DET, its mint.

[right][snapback]288396[/snapback][/right] Agreed, way to many people have the s13's it's the new cool thing, s14's are sick though. Why not a turbo mr2 or an ae86 though, one of those are my next ride. |

ehhh if it was between those two id go for the celica. one reason for it is becuase no one expects a celica to be fast. first time i went to a track event with a few auto cross guys they where amazed how well balanced the celica was and how it was able to keep up/pass others in its class.

For the same price of an SR 240, you can get an LS1 FC. You'll see mine round end of august

I love how my celica turns heads just because its not a 240 or a civic. I like the rarity in my car. And whats better than having a rare celica? A rare celica with a 3SGTE in it!
