i'll play along. i'm on my 4th s13. all hatches and i got my first in 05. it was a 90 in cherry red metallic. i sold that car for money plus another s13 that sat for 3 years. i got that one running and sold it for $1k. i then took the money from selling both of those s13s and got an sr swapped 93 se, but the 93 had high miles on the chassis and turned out to have the worst frame rot ever. so i bought a $300 90 shell and i'm in the process of swapping everything over. i wouldn't say i jumped on the bandwagon, i've been around these cars since highschool (about age 16) when my friend had a 92 se coupe, then shortly after my younger brother bought a 90 coupe when he was 14. before owning s13s at all i purchased my clean fc at age 18 which i still have.

ive owned my 240 for a few weeks lol
i wanted one since i was in 9th grade which would be 05-ish i think but when i went to get a first car my parents immediately said no since it was rwd and it wouldnt be good for winter...

but i finally got it.

damn. i was in 9th grade in 1999

^ you got me beat. i was in 9th grade in 01

haha i'll be 24 in sept. but yes i've always wanted a 240sx since my friend adam got one.then in 2006 i got one on ebay!!!!!

wait a minute i'll be 24 in september. how were you a freshman in 99? or am i off for myself? i graduated class of 04 so 03 was my junior year, 02 my sophomore year and 01 my freshman year. i guess technically the first part of my freshman year was in 00.

i was class of 03

freshman year = 99-2000
sophomore = 2000-2001
etc. yes i was young for my grade. sept 6 1985

and obviously you're avid initial d fan like myself

ahh i see. and i'm glad to see you get my username :)

i'm sept 21st btw and i was a little older then most in my grade.

i've owned one 240, but was into drifting before i got it. i've dailied it since highschool and am selling soon because of money probs and im going into my 4th year of college.

a bandwagoner is someone who buys the car to fit in, become cool etc etc, but stays that way not bothering to research the car or plan on improving it for a purpose, only to have it cause everyone else does.

i think in the beginning dam near everyone is some type of bandwagoner, because they have to see a car that is like by some people or croud but then loves the car for its capabilities, not its coolness factor

i liked the 240 because my boy adam had one when i was 15 and i loved the styling. he was the only one in the area to have one. i didn't want a civic or a beat ass probe since that is what's in style. i wanted a 240sx since i was 15. then i got mine off of ebay 3 years ago. been building it ever since

I don't know where the whole "everybody has a 240" thing is coming from, because I never see them on the street and out of every 150+ car meet there's maybe like 4 240's there at one time, including mine and my friend's. I have to cross the bridge and go to philly 240 meets, and even then there's like 20 cars and thats it.

But regardless of that, my friend was fanatical about 240's like 5 years ago, and he looked for one for 8 months before he finally bought it. I had a Chevy S10 that I was working on at the time. I loved that his s13 was RWD, light, manual and had endless potential. He ended up doing a lot of work to it, and the car ended up growing on me. I helped him work on it whenever he was putting new stuff on, and I ended up learning a lot about the car. I eventually wanted one but I also couldn't find one in good condition. He ended up selling that car to me, and he bought another hatch with a silvia conversion. Now we both have nice SR swapped hatchbacks to cruise around in and work on. I've been doing a lot more work to it since I've had it, and I will be doing a lot more work in the future.

It's not about being cool or fitting in at all. Everybody I know who has a 240 just does their own thing and doesn't give a damn what people think. Call me a bandwagoner, that's cool... the more haters, the better.

I't's a rare 240 owner that does their own thing. They really all do the same things if you really stop to think about it. Buy it, swap it, claim to drift it lol.

I want a third one but I plan on doing the same thing I did with the other ones. Keep it stock.

Oh and you guys need to stop talking about age. You were freshmen when I graduated lol.

i just bought my 240 about a month ago, but it took me a while to save up the money. it all started when my friend bought his first s14 se about 3 years ago. if it wasnt for him, i wouldnt have known what a 240sx was. i guess you could say im on the bandwagon considering i bought my 240 so late in the game. i catch the **** from a lot of people saying how im "jumping on the 240sx bandwagon"...but you know...whats wrong with that? lol. you see people building civics all the time and no one really says they are "jumping on the civic bandwagon".

I got my 240 a little over 2 years ago . The reason I got mine was because of the shady low lives that invaded the honda scene and turned it into sh*t. I always liked the 240 for it's body lines and really like the way the interior is set up.

Let's do this, how many of you guys build real cars and how many build puss cars. How many do cool stuff how many hard park. Let's be real tons of people are gonna build the same car, some will build garbage and seldom actually build an awesome car.

wow, hate much.... why does it seem like your attacking people that own 240's.

and before you go off and try attacking me for replying ... I think i have an alright car and yes i hard park becuase funds are tight...

No not at all, I don't care what you own, I just think its funny how all theese people say they are og's the only og's are 30 year old dudes in japan. Everyone built their cars after someone else. I hate the whole I am cooler cause I was before the bandwagon, but I built my car in 2003 its just lame.

I just picked up my first 240sx. Its a 92 coupe. stock, automatic. I bought it saturday. Straight clean body and interior. 125000 miles. Driven by a girl. I paid 330 bucks including tax and tags and fixing it. I guess ill see where i go from here with it but let me tell you.. I never had so much fun driving my bagged s10 or my old civic or my lifted jeep or my old jetta. I had all these cars but nothing compares.

i like 240s. their cute. lol but i run my own 240 site. So i have to have one.
