alright im just goin off the top of my head, so if im wrong im sure someone will correct me.

Price wise, you could definately get a 96ish 240 for under 8 grand, 97-98 you could probably find one, most of the nicer ones ive seen have been around 10-11 last time i looked.

in S14s, the LEs did not have antilock brakes or the LSD. I think all the SEs do.

I dont think the 240 came in an AWS model? i may be wrong but im pretty sure there wasnt one.

All the people ive known with apex exhausts have been pretty loud. I personally like the sound of the Greddy ones better. (Note none of these were on 240s)

And ive never heard of anyone going all motor with a KA. Theres a couple people with boosted kas on here tho.

edit: they do make the LEs in 5 speeds. i knew a guy with a 97 LE 5 speed, that may have changed from 95-96. dont know?
