Ive had my 240 for a year. Its my first one. I bought it because its what I wanted, not because its the stereotypical drift car. I just wanted a RWD japanese car, and this one fit my needs the best and was in my pricerange. Its also a great platform for what I'd like to do with a car (mean street car, kinda sleeperish). Tons of motor options, rear seats, relatively light weight, and good gas mileage... It meets all my needs in a car without breaking the bank.

I got my 240 back in march I think...and I'll admit, I'm half bandwagoner. I first really "loved it" back when I played NFS:Underground and I used it as my starting car. Then I forgot about them, then when F&F:TD came out I was like oh yay drifting, then I really started to look into drifting and it's definitely a motorsport I'm learning to love...and after looking around I found the 240 for a great price.

Then I finally drove it, and realized that it's just such a drivers car. Plus it's really easy to work on, which is great for my newbness at car modifying...but right now I just wanna get it to be a fun street car/drifer/semi-sleeper.

i wouldnt say im a bandwagoner but i came into the 240 scean after drifting had made its presance known. i started looking into the 240 in O4. i loved the way the car looked. i learned about drifting in O6. i have had 3 240's. 1 coupe taken out by a hit and run lady with no lincense or insurance. i also had an 89 sohc hatch. and my new love/hate girl a 93 hatch. do i want 2 try drifting yes is that y i got my car no. i want to keep my 240 or a 240 for ever they will always be my fav car.

I've had a vast erray of fun cars RX-7's, EVO, 350Z, etc. and i would buy the "right" 240 in a second if I found it. B/C I'm a fan of the car if nothing else.

240_fun 01-19-2009 10:04 PM

I wouldnt call myself a bandwagon guy either.
Ive had 3 240s and Im only 18.
a fully loaded (power sunroof, mudflaps, i mean everythingggg) Coupe 93 now belongs to LJ
a totally base coupe 91 totalled :'(
and a base 92 hatch which i have now :)
I gotta say i was never rly a fan of the hatches cuz i loved the coupe but i still really love my hatch
Ive worked on all of them myself, swapped KA-KA, auto-manual...
I just love them
I couldnt imagine driving a FWD car as MY car
it would suck... I think i would die a little inside
And yeh i love drifting, but I they have so much more potential than that so i hate when ppl automatically think 240= drifting

im on my third s13, all of them dohc in the beginning, my current one sr powered, i dont consider myself a bandwagoner, i have been in love with them since i drove my first one home from north carolina....yea i got into it around 03, when the "drift craze" emerged, but to me its more then that, its a joy of building something and wanting to work on it after working a 13 hour day, its the joy of driving it, regardless of problems

JdmFresh 01-19-2009 11:33 PM

Had my first 89 hatch a 16 now 23 I have a s14 but I have been into nissans aka 300zx/240sx ever since I had a peter. And my dream even before Fast and Furious the first one, was a 240 with a skyline motor lol. All this is posible when you have game like tokyo highway racer game on the ps1 days..all my cars where 180's and 300's.

Yes. You should post them sometime =P

jdmwill 01-20-2009 10:24 PM

well i hate them with a passion. but i love them for there all around wow factor. i owned my first one back in 01-02 it was a two tone coupe with about 60 something thousand miles on it. i bought a silvia front end color match to the car and a set of 15" watanabe wheels. hacked the springs then purchase a set of sport line drop springs i think. i did a home made turbo kit with a starion intercooler a ford turbo coupe turbo and a safc I for fuel managment. man was it fun. i sold it for a good profit back in 04. bought several afterwards but none ever gave me the satisfaction my og s13 gave me.

i dont own a 240 but i figured i would give my .02 anyway. ive always had a thing for 240s when my friend josh got his first one a s13 fastback. i had no idea what a 240 was then, this was like 04/05 maybe. yea sad i know. he introduced me to them and ever since then ive always liked em and wanted one. i was almost going to buy one before i sold my teg and then decided to get a newer car. ill probably be looking at them again once my car sells, so you could say i hopped on the bandwagon. but ill end up stayin in the honda game.

i think that a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon and its sad since it is a pretty cool car with a ton of potential for fun especially with boost :supz:. and ive meet enough people to have realized there is actually a 240 bandwagon to get on.

OPZ 01-21-2009 03:32 AM

I just payed off mine today. I'm stoaked, especially for the price I got it for. WOOOO!

twitchh17 01-25-2009 03:49 AM

lol wow **** bandwagoners.. my dad bought a 90 hatch from my uncle back in the 90's.. when i turned 17 and started driving (that was 5 years ago im 22 now) i brought it to school and had no idea what kind of car it was and its capabilities.. i got props from everyone and started modding it lol.. im at my 3rd 240 right now.. my favorite car all around cheap and easy to mod

GHost240SX 01-25-2009 01:12 PM

Genuine Enthusiast....I've had 4 other cars and none of them come close to the level of fun I have when I drive my S14....well drove haha. if i didnt love it i wouldn't rebuild it.

grmreapr 01-27-2009 06:01 PM

I have lost count of how many I have owned I think im up to six or seven I have had one since I was 17 im now 27. I have had a few other cars but nothing like the love of a 240. I remember when getting parts was almost impossible and not to many did an engine swap let alone an rb cause mounts you used to have to custom order and cost about a grand. I do like it now that I can get tons of parts for my car but now I see way to many of them and it pains me in the heart just a little bit to see some bandwagoners take them and basically destroy a beautiful car and not really care.

where_youatt 02-25-2009 02:05 PM

i owned mines for 2 years and it still dont run right lol.......... i been liking 240s since the 7th grade tho.. im been out of school for 2 1/2 years....

beatd 02-25-2009 03:51 PM

i fell inlove with 240s when my boy gave me a ride in his freshly swapped sr20 during high school in 02 and esp. during street races in philly over the weekends. when i had money finally coming in i bought 2 hatches from a coworker for $800 in 05. I ended up keeping one and selling the other to fund my project. Now i'm KA-T with help from anthony(structure240), will(jdmwill), my honda friends, and my boy ruben. i love my car!

redline454 02-25-2009 03:59 PM

bought my 93 wen i had enough money got my sr and want a kouki now

Rockstar 02-26-2009 12:14 AM

hardcore enthusiast :cool:
Majority of my friends own 240s about 10+ Usually hit up drift events in wv. I'm always working on either my car or helping a buddy with their car.
I've owned my s14 for 4years now and had another s14 for 2years before, got hit and sold off. I doubt I will ever sell my current s14, I've done way too much work to it. :mrgreen:
