I got mine for 35.00

Carl u still beat me, but it beats 150.00

Talk the guy down on the manual.
Is the asking price 1100.
If it is, I am sure u can talk him down

How are the cars, any thing wrong.. etc... Condition of the car !!!!

 

Get the manual so you don't have to waste time and convert.

 

both cars have decent price.


Pros of each:

Manual
-its manual

Auto
-its newer bodystyle
-has a KA24DE

Really depends on what you plan to do with the car, if you plan to do an engine swap and silvia front end then either one is fine.

 

thanks for the input guys, both are rust free which is rare in michigan but anyways I am planing on turboing the KA24 and im not doing any conversions on the body or anything or engine swaps, the 1990 only has 116,000 mi!! I think i am going to go with that, he is asking $1300 so I want to get it for $1000. Thanks for the help, now I can just spend the money on something else.

 

well.. i was wondering.. what would be faster an auto or manual? i mean i know that the manual is faster but is there much difference between the two? cuase if there isnt then im thinking about getting a 97 240sx auto for bout 7k... its got a dvd player, intake, N1 exhaust, its black, and only 80k miles on it.. i would like a manual but wouldnt mind an auto too.. suggestions?

Consider this. Automatic street cars usually run anywhere from .5 to 1.5 seconds slower than the manual in the 1/4 mile. If you aren't buying your car with speed or drifting in mind and just want a good looking daily driver then go for it. If, on the other hand, you're looking to perform, go manual.

 

buy the manual. No headaches with a swap, even though it's not that hard.
Plus, we need more single slammer turbo KA's out there.

 

i got MY auto 93 for $800...

go for it, it's a sign..

i plan on turboing the KA, and building up the auto tranny..

 

yea.. im just going for the looks but i would like to make it look really nice on the outside tho.. u know.. to make it look fast and nice.. im not gonna race or anything.. just as a daily driver.. but im also considering to turbo the KA tho just cause i want the sound of the turbo..well..i think im gonna go for the auto cause i dont see much manuals out there anyways..thnx for the tips guys.. appreciate it lots

 

I Would Go By What Evr Is Cleaner Also If U Plan On Doing A Sr The 89 Power Stearin Lines Dont Work And The Throttle Cable Is Short

those are some nice numbers you made up.

when it comes to drag racing, you can't beat a built automatic. but for fun and any other type of driving, the manual is gonna be your best bet. personally, i'd just wait for a manual chuki to turn up in the paper. it's not like these cars are uncommon

 

Go with whichever is cleaner. Rust is just a complete headache you should avoid at all costs.

 

true what all you guys said, so i guess i will just wait for the right car then. its not gonna matter to me if it is a manual or auto. im fine with both.

and what do you mean by built automatic? sorry still new to the automotives.. i mean i know what an automatic is but what do u mean by a built automatic?

 

a beefed up automatic...

just like the way you can build up an engine, you can build up an auto tranny..

 

get the auto and do an sr swap.... : )

 

get the automatic its newer has a kade, the right power steering lines

my last two >500hp cars have automatics

I use the auto tranny controller from pcs (powertraincontrolsolutions.com) to program my shift points.

great for boosted drag racing especially!!

but nothing feels like a manual!

 

wow guys, I posted this in september, I bought the 5-speed. Sorry for not updating.

 

manual for fun factor, automatics for the win..

 

Unless you are driving a new M with the SMG-2, no automagic will ever beat a clutch.
