My new DD/future project
I have been looking for a good Daily driver for some time now. I only had a few cars on the list. MK2 supra, RWD corolla, Cressida, Older Celica, 240sx, Prelude, or a civic. After finding several disapointing, torn up, riced out, or in one case two cars made into one, I found what I needed.

1993 240sx 5 speed hatchback. All it currently needs is some rear shocks (Brand new ones in box came with it!) and a, non-crappy, radio that I am in the process of replacing now.

Pics:







For now it will be a DD with basic mods like an intake, exhaust, wheels, ect. If I decide to a build it will get a full suspension and a NA-T or a swap.

You have no idea. After driving a turbo supra its annoyingly slow, but its not for WHP its for MPG and dependability. Ill make it fast later.

Still dont see how you can used to the slow factor myself. The Camry irritates me at times with its slowness.

Let me know when you are ready to instal lthe rear struts.

I drove a 83 sr-5 model and it was fairly slow, but took turns well. With a little suspension work and a forced induction motor swap I bet that car would haul ass.

I don't know. I haven't really pushed it yet as the ass end is very unstable with the blown shocks. Right now if I try to take off fast it will just bounce all over the place.
