    89 accord love

    Its been a long time since ive posted but i still love my 3 gee. I currently have a 1993 240sx red and i did a 5 speed swap on it. i was looking for another car to love so i bought it from a friend. I also had to replace a fuel injector. i paid $1300 for it. LESS than i paid for my 89 3rd gen(1500).


    This 240 is freakin CLEAN. I could get 3K easily out of it. I like the car a lot, and i would love to keep it, but i keep thinking about the times with the 3 gee. And i remember the spare motor i have and delta 282 cam, weber, modded b&m short shifter and integra tranny. with the money i could get out of the 240, i could easly build up my 3gee and have one ofthe coolest around im thinkin sidedrafts-forged pistons and rods- 4-1 header-balanced bottom end-lightweight flywheel oh ya and compression^ way up.

    i know the martket for 240s is high right now. what do yall think??

    i think it's cool that you would sell your 240sx to fund for a 3gee

    if you sell a 240 for a 3g...youre insane.


    RWD car with assloads of potential vs. FWD car with nowhere close to as much potential.

    hmm.

    Re: 89 accord love

    Dude you're asking an internet forum what you should keep out of two completely different cars.

    In the end you'll just do what you want anyway. The cars have different characters and styles to them. What's more important to you?

    A lot of people are saying keep the 240, but they want a powerful RWD car. I prefer a small FWD Honda so I personally would keep the 3G. But these are all just opinions.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    and what examples have you had? Some 87 sentra pos?

    My mother had a 94 se-r with 150k on it....she gave it to me when she got a different car, and i hammered the piss outta that thing for two weeks straight and it never even flinched.


    Ever think maybe you got a lemon of a car? My buddies civic was a piece of crap..does that mean every civic is junk?
