The build quality of the 240sx is pretty pathetic, and their suspension design sucks (I've had 240sx owners tell me this... when I wanted to use 240 parts to convert my 3rd gen Accord to RWD, they yelled at me for planning to change the suspension completely to the Nissan stuff...) The only thing I really support there is the RB25DET... but you'll be stuck with the weak-ass KA for quite a while at first.
Good luck to you. A 240 would be a fun project car, but if you're selling your CB for it, you'll likely regret it very quickly.

I had a 240 pignose....had a DE swap. Shit was slower than balls and handled like a boat. I had it for literally 3 weeks and traded it for a 5.0 Mustang. Which I subsequently had for 3 weeks also. Don't waste your time on a stock 240....get it with Tein suspension and upgrades already done to it or else you will be sorry.VIP Status.

I'll be honest...I love the S13 240SX. I have never had the pleasure of driving one, but this class of cars is no longer made by automakers. Affordable, rear-drive sport compacts have long since died off due to poor sales and the public's preference for front-drive. Hyundai truly shocked me with the Genesis Coupe - cheap, rear-drive, pretty fun to drive.
This class of cars is special. I fully support your decision. But realize that you WILL eventually regret selling your Accord.Original-Owner 1991 Honda Accord

As for actually owning and driving a s13 on a daily basis I can tell you this. I like it better than my old accord, but they do feel some what flimsy when stock, especially coming from my rx7.
But the thing I hate most is the way people think of you for driving one because all these punk kids give you a bad rep.
If you want one get one, they are fun cars. And if your planning on driftin one and end up getting a welded please dont put your baby in the car (congrats btw). Welded diffs are great for track use but when your driving down the road and the welds break your fucked.
Good luck.
