Automatic or manual

autos are usually easier to find and less molested. if you can find a nice 5 speed then great but if not a 5speed swap is a great option, especially if your planning an engine swap in the future

Yea im new to the the 240's so im just tryin to learn all i can. but i just dont really have the money to do a swap though.

[whyteboi]

then save your money, a swap isnt that pricey if you shop around, its much cheaper then many of the other mods to be done,

[joby123]

ok i didnt know that. ill try to look around but id rather save my money to get better performance parts

Save your money... Beef up that suspension, then go fo tha POWA!

[joby123]

Well i was gonna get cold air intake and some new headers. Should i go for the suspension first though?

[JDriftin23]

I would. You gotta have a good platform to handle all that power. That means suspension and transmission and wheels and tires before you go adding a bunch of horsepower and bolt ons to it. As for the auto manual thing I would just look around for a 5-speed. It might take some patience but it will be worth it

Well see i really want a 5-speed but one of my friends is selling it to me for only $600 and i couldnt beat that so im taking it. But thanks for the advice.

Don't get me wrong, If you can get the parts, go for it. I have a few parts waiting to be put on after I get some bushings. 600 for a 5speed transmission? That seems a little high. Talk him down.....

I had a chance to get a 5speed for 100 bucks at a local junkyard about a year ago......but I passed it up.........I regret it now....

[joby123]

Well it need new tires and belts, ya know thins like that. But should i wait and try to find a 5-speed?

[S13Joe]

Dude... if thats not what you want then don't get it. Its not very hard... I don't see why this thread was even created.
