I luv 240's but I'd agree that they're a good DD but I wouldn't have one as my ONLY car if I was planning on modding it. Reliablilty goes downhill if you're hard on it and let's face it...you ARE going to be hard on it! :drive:
2 guys that would give you an honest opinion on it would be zenkies14 and n2hifi...they have both 240's and Hondas. But with a car as clean an unique as you now have why would you trade off? You know UNIQUE is what we all strive for!

i've personally never had a 240, but would love to have one as a project driftorio or somethin. i would advise against getting one as your only car, especially if you are modding it and plan on drifiting it. and most deffinately if you are a beginner at drifting. if it was a project car, it wouldnt suck as bad when you mess up a drift and slam into a pole, but if its your only car, its gonna be a lot worse. plus there are 345346561434546524 people with sr240's. but like you said, how many are there with ABP teg sedans? i would say keep the integra. if you dont want to turbo it, maybe just deal with the slowness and spend the money you would put into either car and buy a 240 project, and build that up as the funds come in.

its pretty ovvious i am not bias tward hondas and i love nissans but you kinda answered your own question if you are driving a car you love fuck how much powa it has. trust me cars are not about how slow they are its about how they make you feel. if you did not like your car so much i would say go for the nissan if it had a sr20det but keep the honda.:duel: if it were me i would go with the nissan though if they were worth the same with the same miles.

So there is no way it would compare to your 98 gizzer. Think of all the shit you'll be spending money on that isn't even performance related, just to keep the car on the road.

240sx $0-$3,000, sr swap 3K-5K, if you can't afford a turbo kit for your integra, how are you going to afford this. Ya rwd and drifting is cool, but drifting is about as big of a pipe dream as having a nice 240sx that's swapped and runs right.

Your a moron, you've obviously never owned a 240. I have had my SR swapped 240 for over 3 years now, daily drove for 2.75 years of them. And i can garuntee that i have had my motor out of my car less than any one of you Honda guys here. You all seem to be pulling and swapping motor almost monthly. In the 3 years i have owned my SR 240, it has seen:

13 Drift Days
2 Professional Level Track Days
3 Out of State drift events
40+ passes at the drag strip
3 years of solid street racing
3 full summers of weekly street drifting
+out of state trips
+3 years of daily driving to work, school, every where. It was my ONLY car.

How many times have i had to pull the motor? 0
How many times has the head been off? 0
How many times has the valve cover been off? 0
How many times has the motor not started when i needed it to? 0
How many times has the car left me stranded? 0

I am on my second turbo, and 2nd clutch, both of those were because i ran the hell out of the previous ones. I have literally had more trouble with my Honda Civic Hatch not starting in the 5 months i have owned it, and its a low-mile clean, single owner car. Ask Chris (N2HiFi) how many times i called him because the god damned Honda left me stranded. The nissan gets teh ever living fuck beat out of it weekly, and its flawless in performance day in and day out. Dont get me wrong, i LOVE my civic, but i'd sell it in a heart beat if i had to sell one of them

The main reason 240's rattle is because 240 owners are dumb/brave enough to rock all-out full race coilovers on the streets with stupid spring rates. Most 240 drivers are real drivers, not show car/16 second street racers. When we do suspension, we dont fuck around. None of that conventional spring/strut crap
