What no dune buggy? Well poo....I tried.

I've been driving by one every Saturday for the last two months. I'm itching to stop and take a look, but I'm afraid (fairly certain) that I'll buy it if I do stop. Asking $2100, so I'm sure they'd take $1500.

Just an FYI, i built an S13 about 2 years ago, Roughly i would say that i spent about 4k betweeen motor/ install/ FMIC/bov/fuel pump etc... and let me tell you it was quick, not fast but definitely quick. Another buddy of mine dumped alot more into his S13 which dyno'd about 350RWHP and that thing was wicked quick... That car weighs absolutely nothing and with 350RWHP, it can scare you... So good luck and knock it to him...

a RWD import and a cheap one. Since miata is out of the picture, 240sx is like your only choice. unless you want TOFU car ! Yea how bout it? Nevermind hard to find right?

Old school RX-7
Old school Supra
that mazda coupe bigger than MX-3 bigger than Miata, but slower than RX-7?

You can import a USED S15 Silvia but that's 25,000USD. Yea so cheap RWD imports aren't that many.

I wish they would sell the Silvia here, it would cost around 15,000USD own any RWD price wise.

I'm glad they don't sell Silvia's here. Especially the S15's. That just makes it all that much better to own one.

I'm gonna get one when I finish with my xA, and I wanna do a full-on Sileighty conversion and turn it into a drift car. And possibly RHD.

Me, I was ahead of the game that's in the states, I don't let other things influence me, I hate the Fast and the Furious movies, so don't speak to me about Tokyo Drift, and I was into drifting since the early days of D1. And as for the 240sx thing, I rarely see any over where I live or work (an hour commute) so, that's ok for me, otherwise, i'd go for something else. And I do love the 300zx's but I love 240's even more because of what I can do to them and they aren't tainted by everybody owning them, like Civic's.

ya no joke the civic is like the mustang in the 60's a fad that every one had to have. i like the 97 240 sx and i do plan on changin it into a siliva right drive adn all so im not worried about not being normal or "like everyone else." im not a drift fan manily because i cant justify spending all tha tmoney on tires! holy god....

the price varies as in what it has done to it, such as the TT. i have seen the twin turbos selling in my area for about 10g'z.... they are deff more pricey than the 240, but it depends on what yer going for... again i live in so cal, so i see the dang 240's EVERYWHERE... even at my stupid college... i dont know if you like these fetures or not, but the 300's could have the T-Top (which i LOVE) and also come 2+2
