^^+1 on that! They are great DD's but it just gets annoying when people get carried away with their modifications.

I thought HONDA stood for "Had One, Never Did Again"? thats great man i like it! I have also had a 240SX, and no they are not luxurious, they are a great sports coupe easily turned track or race car. i am building my sc300 into a track car, which isn't normal around here. I'm sure I'm going to get bashed when i actually have time to work on it because its a luxury car right? How ever this car has an even better stand point for modification than my old 240SX did for being a true track car, but its more expensive. has anybody ever noticed BMW M3 and M5 use mac pherson struts, but they convert the world challenge cars to double wishbone and multi-link suspension? Yeah I'll keep my piece of ****** Lexus only to pass my 240SX buddies on the track.

It really just aggravated me I just wanted him to hand me the money and leave. I just am flustered as to why he bought a car with so many issues and got mad about having to fix it. My sc needed a bunch of new stuff when I got it and it still needs a few things and I love it. Im not a fan of black SC's but it has been slowly been growing on me, now when someone flags me down asking how much id let it go for I tell them I want their first born and 4k.

Over the last few years this place has become full of those types.

I love the idea of a S13 with an S15 front end conversion and KA-T just because it is so rare to see one nicely done but when it comes time to get in the car the 240 is just so lacking. I love my SC and if I didnt want that ECU out of my closet so bad I would have told him to go pound salt now he cant drive it at all.

Haha that guy was an ***.

I'm still a young kid, have had 3 240's, finally got myself a SC300 and am NEVER going back to those cars. They may be easier to build, but damn is the SC SO much more worth the extra time/money.

you should've told him you were selling an ecu capable of making 1200hp for $50 more, and if he wanted it.. gone inside with the old ecu and put a pokemon sticker on it. lol NOW we're even..

My thoughts exactly. lol. The guy was just to stupid to insult. As soon as the luxury comment left his mouth I knew I was dealing with the type of people the local fast food place hires, McJackass's.
