Hmmm, I could sell it guys, but I do have some close friends (poor as well, will work for a pretty penny) that are PRETTY, mechanically inclined. I just don't trust them as much as a really good shop. I feel like they could screw something up. The whole reason I got this 240, is because, it was in such good condition first of all. If I got a 370z brand new it would be 40k, and I can't go drop 40k on a new car without being watched, plus it would wipe out any money I have. If I got a used 350z, it would likely have problems still. Plus I like really light cars, because I'm all about handling, and not going fast in a straight line. Plus I would likely want to mod whatever car I got. I figured if there is a chance of rebuilding the engine, dropping a new tranny in it, etc, I might as well get a 7k dollar car. The 240 has a big aftermarket following too, so I thought I could end up with the car I wanted for less. You all are making me consider selling it, but I'm probably going to keep it, and just keep it stock for a second like the last dude said.
I really do want a reliable car that doesn't have to be in the shop, but I would consider the ls1 swap sometime. I imagine that adds some weight though, and I love turbos for some reason. I love reliability more though.. I just figured if the mods were done right, it could be reliable too.
As far as me not wanting to learn, I've tried to learn some stuff, but working on cars is just a headache to me. I just want to drive, not be a mechanic..
