aluminum radiators
exhaust systems
turbo manifolds
suspension parts like SPL or any other brand


that kind of stuffs.

[KoukiMonsta]

honest opinon


tomorrow

[D.Adams]

never..

There will always be some new kid wanting parts. The Drift Bandwagon will go on for a long time. I see parts getting cheaper because there are so many of them.

[HGOTBOOST]

Never, until we ride spacecraft ! Than we're going to modify them I am already working on the Turbo.

[K_style]

Not until no one drives... and start flying around...

[Yulaw]

They will stop when the Toyota FT-86, Subaru rwd car, Nissan whatever-2door sports coupe, and any other cheap rwd cars come out. Plus the genesis will be even cheaper in the future (I don't know how well Hyundai holds their value). I give it 5 years until they start charging crazy prices for parts. For example, the AE86 still has a lot of aftermarket support, but finding stock parts like doors, fenders, gauge cluster, interior, etc is hard cause junkyards would rather sell these 20+ year old cars for scrap metal than keep them.

Also, the aftermarket support is going to open up for the new sports cars. 16 year old kids wouldn't want to buy a broken down 240 anymore when they have the option of a used 2000-2005 350z, subaru wrx, g35, and those other cars that high school kids love. I believe that the age range between 20-30 like these cars (240sx's, civics, etc). It's like how old guys like the old school muscle cars. People in their high 20's to 30's like the supra, rx7, datsun z's, and other cars of the 80's and 90's. and the younger generation likes the 350z's, evo, sti's, and all those other cars of the 2000's+.

nice one

[Hashiriya415]

why are you asking this question?

[E-Warrior]

When we run out of oil and everythings electric. Which BP is working on so I predict a few years.

[BMWfanaticE46]

Whenever drifting dies off. So hold on to your 240s because they are being wrecked everyday and will soon become rare!

[1gr8bar10der]

240=drifting.

As long as drifting still trendy, companies will keep selling modified parts.

[Slammed Assassin]

when 350z's become super dirt cheap. people will move onto a different chassis and start playing with that.

[!Zar!]

Those things have nothing to do with it.

Honda parts still sell, and there are newer and cheaper FF cars.

Same with older cars.

Once demand goes down, so will production. But it won't be happening any time soon.

[PoorMans180SX]

Awesome post. Awesome thread. Awesome discussion.

[RPS13fan]

who cares, i think most of us would be driving something different by then.

[Om1kron]

as long as there is money to spend and the cars are not outlawed. they will continue to have an aftermarket, racing will never die. People still race corollas and 510's from 1969

[iwannahawkaluggie]

it just died last night in a hospital somewhere in CA, too many kidds wanted kouki tail lights hahhaha

[thrax]

They (mfgs) probably won't disappear forever just shrink in numbers. As other cars like the genesis, 370z and ft86 become affordable to the masses in used car prices in 4-7 years the current manufactuers that make 240sx parts will focus more and more on those.

Since so many years have gone by since the last 240 came out, even if a new one does come out it will be all new so their won't be much chance for any backward parts compatibility either.
