its a good thing i asked those two questions in my first post. I guessed right. I have to agree actually learn something about these cars before you purchase. THere already getting rarer, and no one wants to see a 240 go to waste...which it sounds like you want to "pimp" one out because you've already started with the dumb questions. So i wouldnt expect you to know what a turbo or coilovers are. I would expect you to know something along the lines of body kit, muffler, street glow. THese are no no's as most 240 owners will tell you. If you want the super cool space craft car join the honda civic club. Not bashing on civics but the majority of them are rice. There is a minority of tuned civics. So happy hunting and plz dont buy a 240 untill you do some more research.

The poll is stupid, and yes, if you want a space craft, buy a civic.

(nicely put, Chuki!)

and as to my uber usjdm...240sx h/b are a 180sx in japan...thus the 240 really came from japan (design wise) and since the 240sx was built in the US i just decided to call my 240 a usjdm...just some shit i came up with...i just think it would be funny ass hell to import a US 240 to japan...specially with all the US people going there to get 180's and sil 80's

drumpet: thats what i mean.. you just stated something thats already been said..

driftking: yeah, the 240 was designed in japan but never built there.. the specs on a 240 vs a silvia have many dissimilarities, mainly in terms of safety equipment but primarily in powertrain.. you know what i mean.. a usdm 240 was never sold brand new in japan cause they were for the american market only.. just like the silvia was built for pretty much everywhere but north america

Actually, from my experiences back home... Japanese are inreality extremely fond of LHD or basically "imported" in their point of views. Some actually prefer left handed domestics, or even USDM based japanese cars. So taking a USDM 240sx to Japan might actually stand out and be respected depending on where you are. Just put yourself in their shoes... of course Japanese will have higher quality in everything but it's always good to have something different.

i remember this Tokyo Auto Show i was watching online and one of the head directors of Yashio Factory was talking about his (of course) pink S15. He was asked what the most interesting part about the car was... (now this car fully modded as you can presume... inside and out.. that's how it's done in japan) anyway, he answered "the strut tower bars are actually made from pillars we cut off from the factory building, so if this car fails... so does the factoty (he's speaking figuratively)..." The host was asking what he would like to say since this was being broadcasted in America under BMI ... so he also added that "eh... what do the Americans know anyway, whatever they try it won't be anything near our level... haha, they aren't too smart."

omfg.. i was fukin rolling on the floor with that one... GOOD sh!t !!! I'm so glad i know japanese... sorry jus rambling..

Sorry, d-bo. I just happen to have the same opinions as some of these people. Just because I can't post mine first doesn't mean that I don't have a certain opinion on things.
