Default Trade my nasty sc for nasty kouki??

Just looking for opinions guys. I've been offered a pretty nice 97 kouki 240sx with a sick 408ci lsx fully built. 460hp n/a plus cash and parts to boost for my 650whp sc300. It'd be nice to drive a car everyday and regular pump gas would be nice. But no ac and his car needs a paint job too. E85 is getting hard to find around here. But i love my sc and have built it from day one. But check it out guys thanks!

any possibility of tuning your car to take 91?

you personally built your car so you know you took all the preventive steps and made sure everything was top notch and up to par, cant say the same for the other car.

He coulda just threw a turbo on and called it a day

Well fortunately its not boosted yet. But I would boost it. I could take her back to 93 pump meth but haven't. I love the torque curve and smell of the ethanol too much haha

more of a reason not to trade.

switch back to pump gas and enjoy the sc.

this is an SC forum so we definitely are gonna be biased

I wouldn't trade my Lexus for a 240. To me it would feel like a downgrade. Your car is way sexier than that 240 anyways. The Lex is much nicer exterior and interior wise.

I just sold my immaculate s14 sr20 zenki for my SC and motor etc.. ... If ya want a car to toss around then go for the kouki but with a LS motor i bet it is a rattle can and I bet you can hardly here urself think when inside. Once you get used to the power then it's not the same like boosting a GTE. The Kouki will be a blast to drive that's for sure.
