hi guys,
im really interested in 240sx but im a big newbie <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> at this... so... what's the difference between the gen1 and gen2 body styles?  is there a major weight difference between the two?

if i was to get a 95 240sx, which SR20DET engine would give me the best performace?  the s13 red-top w/ 205 hp? or the s14 black-top w/ 220hp? please give me an idea what i am looking at...  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> i see that if i get the s13red-top w/ 205hp, $1100 more bucks for 15 more hp for the s14? is it worth buying the s14 black-top?

please HELP! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':nervous:'>

Even though you can probably find this shit, I'll help you out because you're new.

If money is an issue at all, get the S13 red top.  It's by far the best bang for your buck.  For 1100 bucks, you're well on you're way to a cheap turbo upgrade.  That'll net you around 350rwhp instead of the extra 15 crank you'd get with the S14.  I have the S14, but I mainly got it instead of the red-top for novelty value...I have a '95, so I went S14 into S14.  Also, you shouldn't get it because you'd be the THIRD person I know who has it (damn you civickilla.)
