as a 240sx owner in Canada since 1997 I must say this is a good review. Driving these things before the drift culture came into action was actually not that exciting. but it was faster than a lot of cars at its time and way more fun!

Great to see your video. This was my first car! I had a 1989 fastback that was also manual in a beautiful midnight blue. It also had a pop-up sun roof. I had to replace the engine as the timing chain wore a hole and water got into the engine. I'd probably still have it but I moved to Canada and couldn't import it in due to the seat belts, which can't be modified, of course. I ❤️ loved that car!

surprisingly it's working very well.. I was lucky enough to get it with the 5 spd manual, and it only has 124,000km. I added a stright through 3" exhaust and a weber carb which added about 60hp.. it only makes 160hp at redline but it's great fun shooting flames out of the exhaust around town doing less than 40mph haha

@Rottensteam 7 жыл бұрын

Isaac Attree Awesome to hear! I really want something with a Wankel. I've been looking at some RX8's, they are dirt cheap, but I'm afraid most hasn't been maintained and will become more of a cost. Bad seals etc.

@xXDANGER69Xx 7 жыл бұрын

If you're looking for just something fun to drive, and not a practical daily driver or anything, it might be better to get an rx7. A few of my friends owned RX8's and found that they just weren't as fun or special as they were hoping for. It's pretty amazing what you can get for very little cash in the rotary world right now. I'm sure you could find a nice FC or FD rx7, and have a trusted mechanic rebuild the engine for a couple grand and you would have a seriously fun and reliable car. I predict the early RX7s (1980s) will start drastically going up in value soon due to the rarity of unmodified vehicles that have been well taken care of, so it might not even be a bad investment. I remember when my father told me he had to almost pay somebody to take his Datsun away, and now they're going for around 50 grand. Hoping something similar will happen with my car

I've never asked for a review before, but if you ever run across an '02-'06 Hyundai Elantra hatchback, it would be AWESOME to see it reviewed. I've had 2 of them and they are great small cars and are very unique in the class, IMO. I've had people compliment me thinking it was a BMW or a Saab, which was very cool. lol
