Not my first 240 but my very own first s14 (owned 2 hatches in the past)

Picked her up 2 days ago. I'm the 3rd owner. It still has the original window sticker and manual in the dash. It's been wrecked in the front but has no frame damage. Figuring on replacing it with the Kouki front end... It needs some basic work- brakes are sqeeking, suspension is SHOT, throttle body is sticking, and she needs a really good tune up. I still haven't decided what I'm going to do to her yet. I have about 50% of the parts to turbo the KA but I have been leaning toward the SR lately... Only time will tell. Well, here's she is... Keep in mind, I only paid 1K for her. (and will dump the rims before long and doing a 5spd swap within the next 2 months...)

My hubby's WRX and My 240

BTW, photobucket sucks today. It keeps making the pictures WAY too big EVEN AFTER I resize them.

thats Nicos spokesmodel. jeez Thug.

looks like a fun time, if you do end up going s14, you mind letting me know what turbo stuff youve got, and perhaps some prices?

get that transmission swapped.

This is actually my 3rd project car and hopefully the 1st to get finished haha... I've got the following:

Z32 MAF and plug inT3 super 60 turbo (has shaft play needs to be rebuilt)JGS 40mm wastgate 24X12X4 XS Power Intercooler2.75" universal piping kit w/ couplers/clampsSSQ BOV (not HKS)

(And I have a CT26 -toyota supra turbo- that's fully rebuilt that's just sitting there if someone wants to make an offer)

I'm leaning more toward the SR for this car. . . I'm thinking about doing the swap/5spd conversion at the same time.... So if you want all/any of that stuff make me an offer ([email protected])

So far it is a big difference- I think it may be going from driving a 5pd to an auto though... I hate it. I feel like such the stereotypical girl driving a "fast" car haha... It bugs me. If I had the parts, I would be swapping today. If anyone has parts, let me know... But other than that, I'm starting to like the S14 better than my S13's.

you bought that car form a chick named Ashley correct?

i know that car..and yeah.. she didn't treat it very well..other than the body..that car is in great shape mechanically..when she bought it it was MINT..

im in the GSP area also..thats how i know.

it looks like the radiator support is damaged tho

you'll either have to str8tn it back out or replace it.or your headlights will never fit right again.

A friend of Mine has a s14 Manual transmission

he bought it to swap into My Old s14 (which he now owns)but somehow got his hands on another one and used itso its just sitting in the shop

ill ask him if he needs it or if he wants to let it go.

Yea I did... She took care of the motor... It's clean... I didn't think she took care of the exterior at all. When I washed the car, it was disgusting and my sponge was BLACK.... The radiator support is fine as far as I can tell without removing the bumper. (If it is messed up, I know a few people who can straighten back out.) I know it will need new headlight brackets though. The drivers side is bent. I still haven't had a chance to take it to the shop and put it on a lift and do a total inspection.

Yea ask him if he wants to get rid of it, I'll come get it this weekend.

**Just bought some TEIN S. Tech Springs and new struts for it** Should be here by Friday....
