240 SX??? Its a shame to hear that u want to sell it. U have put alot in to that car. Ur better off parting it out then trying to sell it as a whole. But i stil think u should keep it. Look at my car the exterior isn't how i want it and i still have to work on my exhaust. Save up and then get the paint donw on it. Talk to HybridCX93 he might be able to get a deal on a paint job.

I'm gonna do a little more work on it(make it sell-able), and try to sell it. I already have a replacment in mind...think convertable :P
Sound like easy fixes to me.

What do you mean you lost a JDM corner? Bulb burn out? Cheap fix. I don't even use my JDM bulbs. I use my USDM bulbs and sockets and cut the constant wire so they only blink like the JDM ones.

Exhaust - rubber hangers, maybe have it re-hung

Shifter - Lots o' lube. Are you using the orange energy bushings?

Are you just upset cause people wern't as excited about your new engine as you were? Don't worry about everyone. Do what you want.

What car are you thinking of getting instead? Convertible? S2000?

HatchVX: I'll talk to him! Thanks for the tip.

Wharbone: No, I literally lost the whole corner, socket, and bulb. Only have the wired hanging there. I got another set on order.

Yea, I'm gonna get a new ehxaust, but the raddling drives me nuts.

Nah, has nothing to do with excitment. I'm happy with the motor...its my car so. I'm just kinda ready to have a new "new" project. Something that doesn't rattle,buzz, blink, fall apart etc... :P

If I do sell it, I'm not gonna tell specifically what I want to replace it with. You'll just have to wait for pics!

I need to get some bushings. You think that will do it, or should I get a short shifter as well? I really like the GSR one, so I'll start with bushings.

Whoa. did you forget to screw in the phillips screw into the headlight?

If you do get another car, I will be looking forward to seeing pics.

I think for your bushings, you could just try lubing them with something like suspension lube or something like that. New bushings might help. Do you have the stock bushings in there now?

Yea, I probably forgot the damn screw.

If I get another, I will definantly show pics!

Stock bushings...think I need to tighten some bolts and get shifter bushings!

Thanks for all the help guys!
