Post Title: Just picked her up lastnight Posted by:movesalot at 7:06 PM 7/2/2009 hey everyone, i just bought me a 95 240 SE. manual, 145k miles, one owner, adult lady driven, she bought it brand new in 95. i got it for $3700, bone stock. some guy slammed into my passenger rear of my last car, 02 honda ES1. i can't believe his insurance ended up totaling it, it drove perfectly fine, just had a smashed rear end....o well, time for something new! these are the pics i took lastnight after i picked it up....looking forward to the plans i have for her
the name is josh btw and i live in orlando, i'm a smod on 7thgenhonda. i'm looking for the megan catback, so let me know thanks, enjoy!

what camera did you use to take the pics?
Post Title: Re: Just picked her up lastnight (Koshin) Posted by:movesalot at 7:22 PM 7/2/2009 believe it or not....it's a Olympus Stylus digicam haha. i was actually surprised how they came out too. i used the night setting, and my tripod of course
Post Title: Re: Just picked her up lastnight (movesalot) Posted by:Koshin at 7:48 PM 7/2/2009 The background of the second pic looks really crisp and clear for some reason...I thought you may have been using an XTi or something
Post Title: Re: Just picked her up lastnight (movesalot) Posted by:YuNg1's_240sx at 7:51 PM 7/2/2009 hey nice car. i basically have the same thing in black paid almost the same too! that camera of yours...is it the 820??
Post Title: Re: Just picked her up lastnight (YuNg1's_240sx) Posted by:movesalot at 8:09 PM 7/2/2009 as a matter of fact, yes it is the 820 model haha. like i said though, i was surprised myself. night pics have never came out this good for me before....maybe it's a sign? haha. i've got some parts that i'm selling off my 02 ES1, one guy PM'd earlier today about trading intake/exhaust/strut tower bar for a nikon d40x. i've been wanting a DSLR for so long! i just might do it
Post Title: Posted by:DRsr20Idet240FT at 8:34 PM 7/2/2009 nice find, good luck with the car!
Post Title: Re: (DRsr20Idet240FT) Posted by:24j0hn at 8:41 PM 7/2/2009 your first mod should be rubbing compound and polish on the fogged headlights
Post Title: Re: (24j0hn) Posted by:movesalot at 8:52 PM 7/2/2009 thanks fellas, yah the headlights could definitely use a buff haha
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:xX RB Xx at 9:18 PM 7/2/2009 looks like its been hit the front.. the driver side fender and the hoods paint doesnt match the rest of the car..
but it doesnt look bad.. ive never seen that color before
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:slim_240 at 10:01 PM 7/2/2009
great find!
with my experience, 240s that were owned by women were always in pretty good shape
Post Title: Re: (slim_240) Posted by:aaronscomp at 10:06 PM 7/2/2009
looks really clean nice find wish i could find some nice clean 240s
Post Title: Re: (aaronscomp) Posted by:Hoffman5982 at 11:06 PM 7/2/2009 nice. looks like theres no clear coat. maybe its just the pics? my first one was the same color and everything except it was auto.
Post Title: Re: Just picked her up lastnight (movesalot) Posted by:YuNg1's_240sx at 9:21 AM 7/3/2009 so you stole my camera and my car from me, huh?yeah, these cameras take pretty good night shots. thats okay though, i've stolen other people's cars on here also! for the headlights, you could sand them down to really get the lens cleaned off, then polish it. It will come out great.
Post Title: Re: (xX RB Xx) Posted by:movesalot at 10:15 AM 7/3/2009 hahah, yah it does look like the paint doesn't really match. the clear is pretty much gone except for the driverside door and mirror. it's never been in an accident though
yes, women drivers usually don't beat their cars to s*** haha, so i was lucky
my sincerest apologies for stealing your digi, i promise i'll give it back next week. wait, where do you live? o and i wouldn't say you've stolen these guys' cars on here, they may come after you....yah i was planning to shine the headlights up real nice. i'm sure i'm going to just switch them out down the road
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:ca18detgabby at 10:20 AM 7/3/2009
need to clean those HLs.....
I would atleast rattle that SE lip too.
congrats on the new car.
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:KoukiTony at 10:24 AM 7/3/2009
nice car, it's rare to find 240s that haven't been abused
might wanna repaint eventually, but it looks good
Post Title: Re: (ca18detgabby) Posted by:movesalot at 10:25 AM 7/3/2009
thanks man, i just might do that. i'm really looking forward to seeing what i can do w/ this
o yah i'll definitely get it repainted eventually, but i'm not "too" worried about that right now

either turbo or n/a
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:blakexcore at 11:07 AM 7/3/2009 id say n/a unless you plan on going turbo soon...
a 3" exhaust on an n/a motor is just stupid IMO
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:sherm2003 at 11:17 AM 7/3/2009
well the megan na type is 2.38 piping w/4.5 tip and the turbo type is 3 piping w/4.5 tip. And i do agree with blakexcore, theres no point in putting a turbo catback on if you're not planning to go turbo later....
Post Title: Re: (sherm2003) Posted by:movesalot at 12:35 PM 7/3/2009 haha yah i know what you guys mean. i just didn't clarify. my plan is to swap the rb and boost, so it'll happen eventually....i just don't know when. what kind of price would i be looking at shipped 32817? the longer tip btw
Post Title: Posted by:noobdrftr at 2:10 PM 7/3/2009 nice pickup
Post Title: Re: (noobdrftr) Posted by:movesalot at 2:12 PM 7/3/2009 pickup? she's no truck......haha just joshin, thanks man
Post Title: Posted by:sherm2003 at 4:23 PM 7/3/2009 Here's a link....this is the one you wanted right? I can get it for you for $385.00 Shipped to 32817. Just let me know....
Post Title: Re: (sherm2003) Posted by:movesalot at 10:33 PM 7/3/2009
hmm, well i did see on meganperformance.com that they've got the n/a for $315 plus shipping and the turbo for $385 plus shipping. it's tempting since it's the turbo catback and it would be $385 shipped. i would definitely do it for $350 shipped, if you could. brand new right?
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:MastaYu at 10:47 PM 7/3/2009 nice find
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:sherm2003 at 10:42 AM 7/6/2009 Sorry for the late response......yeah it's brand new.....i cant do it for $350.00 sorry but i can get if for you for $360.00 shipped....
Post Title: Re: (sherm2003) Posted by:movesalot at 12:25 AM 7/7/2009 i actually went ahead and ordered the n/a off meganracingperformance.com, but i found it cheaper on ebay a few hrs later. so i called megan back and left a message to see if they would match the ebay price. if not, i'll cancel the order and pick it up on ebay
Post Title: Re: (movesalot) Posted by:sherm2003 at 10:45 AM 7/7/2009 Oh ok. Thats kool....
