240 or civic??
 

what do you guys think? 93 240sx w/ sr20det or stick with my 93 hatch si w/ b18c1? i want something new. i've had 6 hatches including this one since i was 16. also...2 integs, 1 delsol, and a crx. i think its about time to move onto something else right? give me some opinions.

Re:240 or civic??
 

never been in a sr but i know 240's can handle like champs with not much work. i would do it, if you dont like it, just sell it and go back to hondas or something else
goodluck with either one,
jeff

Re:240 or civic??
 

i love my crx even though it is currently a bit slower than my 89 supra turbo. it is much lighter and easier to toss, but i do miss the RWD aspect of getting squirrely through turns at will
an sr20 240 or gen2 rx7 would be fun for drifting (hint: use cheap tires in the rear for more drifting fun... lol)

Re:240 or civic??
 

go with the 240, when mods are done i'm sure it will eat some hondas for breakfast......but honda's/crx's are still the ----!! ;)

Re:240 or civic??
 

yeah, you can drop in a skyline engine very easily on a 240. i would love to buy one.

Re:240 or civic??
 

yeah, you should try the 240 out if you've had that many honduhs. my boy has an rb20 swap for sale *hint, hint*

HOLY ----!! i just hit 1000 ;D

Re:240 or civic??
 

"very easily" no, not according to SCC who did a writeup on 240 engine swaps. its very possible, but its the hardest of all of the 240 swaps, i've done a sr20det in a 96 240 and it was kind of a bitch, so, I can only imagine what a RB engine would be like.

Re:240 or civic??
 

actually, it wasn't a bitch. we installed it and took it back out. just had to use the rb crossmember (bolts right up to the s13) and driveshaft (i'm not sure we couldn't have used the stock driveshaft, we didn't even try. the hardest part was wiring in the ecu :-X

Re:240 or civic??
 

Ive seen the amount of work involved with the SR20 swaps and I dont know about you guys, but Civics are much easier to work on and swap engines/trannies than 240s... Not that the 240 is a bad car, i just think the hondas are easier. Too bad you cant go drifting with a civic (not ASS dragging, ie e-brake)

Re:240 or civic??
 

dude, just get the civic an put it in reverse to drift... haha not really. 240's are pretty damn cool and they're not gonna be around forever so i'd say go for it

Re:240 or civic??
 

I work on Nissans everyday, and they really dont impress me, but then again I've never delt with a RWD Sr20det, I have drove a FWD sentra with a sr20det, and it felt just like a boosted honda. Personally I dont like the looks of the 240's, but thats just me. Sounds like you've been in the honda scene for awhile and just need a change... How about kia's? them are some fine ass cars. haha

Re:240 or civic??
 

i've done just about everything out there to a honda.....thats what i do on my time off....i sell cars @ honda...and do swaps,turbo,etc on time off. thats why im kinda like this is gettin old. i just did a sr20 in a 95 240.....its way slower then my hatch...but the dam feeling of it. it reminds me of my first exp. with a honda. you feel...the smell...the OMFG feeling. just like when you nut. its not there anymore so thats why i want that 240. OH YEAH.......i got to tell you this story......i thought PROPANE was like nos. this was about 5 years ago...but i hooked up a tube from a propane tank in the pass side to the hose on the intake pipe. my cx 1.5 when VROOOOOOOOOOOOOM.....and BOOOOOOOOOOM in about 10 seconds. that was the stupidest thing i've ever done.note NEVER DO THIS. just thought id share.

Re:240 or civic??
 

240 with a DET, hell yeah. Keep a honda around though, for when you need a reliable car! J/K


For the Naysayers that said a Honda can't drift, check the avatar man, it's a bad shot, but I can drift the Civic. I just throw on the 105/75-14 rears and A032s front and come into a turn at 45+ and the back end slips all you want with no ebrake at all. It's fun as hell, and all my drifting buddies with 240s get the biggest kick out of it.
