Insurance companies call every rear wheel drive 2 door car a sports car...hell, even some front wheel drive cars.

i dont know if i could get used to driving standard with my

hand. i think that would be hard as hell.​

The hardest thing (to me) about getting used to driving a right-hand-drive car (on the left side of the road!) was having my right arm against a door whereas I am accostomed to open space on my right.

My brother-in-law has a Ford Telstar (exact same thing as a Mazda 626) that is a manual ******......he got hammered one night while I was overseas and I had to drive his car for him to get him and the car home.

It felt a bit odd right at first shifting with my left hand but as the pedals are all where they are supposed to be (from left to right it's still clutch, brake, gas) it doesn't take as much getting used to as one might think.

It's getting prepared mentally (after driving for years on the right side of the road) to pull out of a parking lot and stay left that takes the most getting used to!

if it's not a sports car, then neither are the rest of the honduh's that directly compare to it (preludes, integras, etc etc)

240s are sick, i still can't get over their tight *** turning radii. i've never been in a car that could take such sharp turns (except for maybe a civic hatch...)

ny car turns sharp as hell............cuz my back end can slide just like a 240's : ) and just as easy to control.

yea i noticed mine could make a turn on a small street or if its wet i just tap the throttle and around it goes... but one thing i didn't like was when its wet out u have to be carefull gettin on and off freeway ramps cause it will slide and u slide when u hit the brakes

respekt the 240 beezies.

At one point in time (before the GN) I was going to do a project S13. These cars have lots o potential.

Yeah, the 240 is technically a sports car. I was going to get one my self and do the swap blah blah everybody wants to do it, but I bought a turbo supra instead. A freind of mine has a RB25DET in his 91'.

Yeah, I think I messed up. The handling in the supra is no where near as tight as that of a 240. But it still pretty quick stock. Oh well. One thing at a time.

But if you're looking for one already done, there a tons of shops that are selling customized 240's for cheap. 10K gets you an SR20DET w/ FMIC TT ECU, custom paint, 17" rims, springs and a system. Just look around.

If you think that JDM S15 is riced out you're an idiot. But what do north americans know, they're all buttfuçking hicks driving trucks.

Agreed....

OH WAIT!! im no hick, and i dont drive a truck! I have a 91 240sx... poop on american trucks anyway

two of my friends have 240's...one with RB20DET and one with RB25DET. So no they aren't "rice." The stock KA24 is worthless unless you go turbo with it..
