After wanting one for awhile I just sold my WRX and got a 93 240sx. I plan to research more on building the KA motor and turboing it after I finish my civic.

My civic is a drag car I've been working on for awhile so far the specs on it are:95 civic coupeb20 block- Golden Eagle SleevedB16a headEagle RodsEndyn PistonsPercision SC61 turboPWR Air to Water IntercoolerHondata standaloneJIMFab traction barAEM fuel rail25x8.7x13-M&H in the front15x3.5 in the rearSkunk2 drag springsand a lot more, its still under contruction, I have to do some welding on the chassis now. Until I have it done I'm not jumping too much into the 240, just fix up the problems. But so stoked to finally have one.

When not working on the cars, I do video production/film making, and music production. 275 Media Group

YES!!! A non-riced civic! My God wahoo! Sounds like its a nice setup. Let me be the first to say welcome to NICO. I think you'll enjoy the 240SX. Nothin better than a RWD car. What do you plan on doing with it? SR20? Turboed stock KA? Weekend drifter?

Right now its a daily driver. I plan to research the Ka24de and see just how much power the block can handle, and I would like to go with building it and turboing it. I want about 320ish rwhp. I do plan to autoX in it, and hopefully learn how to drift it.

Glad to have you here! Definitely post pics when you can. Civics that smoke Vettes are cool anywhere except Bowling Green. Heh.

Auto-X? You are definately gonna need to go Import motor then. The SR had a AWD available in one of the later versions (GTI-R?). Not sure which though. I know i enjoy the KA motor and can definately see its potential as a dragger, but it takes alot to get it to hold together.Again, its nice to see a tastefully done car that happens to be a honda.

welcome aboard mate, be prepared for talks of bizarre and stupid things...

oh, if you wanna see a few KA-T's in person, come to the big Kentucky meet, as seen in the link in my signature, friendly community that doesn't even rag me for actually paying money for a Ford:D
