can you guys tell me the pros and cons of a 90 hatch vs a 91-93hatch? i know that the 90 has the sohc, and no vlsd and the 91-93 has the dohc and a vlsd. which one is a better buy, should i find a 91-93 or is there not much diff between them? found a 90 hatch and thinkin’ about buying it if everything turns out to be good, just trying to find out is there are any major probs with the 90 hatches. some info of the car i’m looking at is that its a 90 with a rebuilt engine with about 20k, and the body with about 240k. did not see it in person yet but will try to get out and take a look this weekend.
The timing chain guides are a real problem on the SOHC. If you hear a rattle on startup they will need to be replaced. The 91+ also have a sleeker bumper, nicer wheels and avaliable leather. Depends on what your goal is with the car. If you are gonna frop in an SR put a body kit and new rims, then save some money and get an 89 or 90.
As long as you can find a 240sx that is rust free and has a good interior and straight body, your on your way.
