So for about the last I say six weeks or so I have been looking for 240. I had always liked them but neer actually thought about picking one up. Because of the datsun I have not wanted to buy anything to take away funds from getting that project finished. Buuuuut, I couldnt handle driving my civic anymore and I did everything to get it cleaned up and sold her and finally picked up my first 240.

The car so far is cool. I mean its 16 years old and still stock so theres not a whole lot I can really say. Its hard to describe how much i like it I guess since I need to replace everything thats worn out over the years. The best thing I can do is compare it to my FC which may or may not be a good idea. Sitting in the driver seat the two cars feel similar. The FC feels a bit smaller all around but the front is pretty clsoe to the same. I think once I update some of the bushings and stiffin it up a bit I will liek the car much much more.

I had five things I was looking for in a car.

1. 5 spd
2. KA24de
3. Straight Body
4. No Sunroof
5. Under 2000

Finding the car was pretty difficult haha since so many people tried selling me the worst of the worst for way to high prices. Thankfully I got 4 out of the 5 and for $1900. The car has a KA24E but in a weird turn of events I think may have changed my mind and decided to put the sohc in the datsun. Well see, theres still lots of time. Either way I will be buying a dohc, it will either go in the datsun or the 240.... Uhm so yea..

I snagged some decent springs and shocks from Derux so the car doesnt look to bad. I put that in the other day and noticed that I should probobly replace every bushing under the car, there all wasted haha. So that will most liekly be the next step, and I noticed today just how bad it has been leaking. Not to mention the valve cover gasket needs to be changed too haha.. so yea anyways.. there she is... I prolly post more pics of the work up later... so yea, there she is (I have not named her yet)
