91+ is DOHC. 90-91 a lot changed. Try the features and specs section on http://www.socal240sx.org for a list of features on diff model year cars.

As for exhaust...I have a crush-bent 3" catback with a PDM-Racing Border muffler, carsound cat, and ebay downpipe on my CA, and it sounds very deep. My friend's Apexi catback sounds mean on his Sr, too. As long as you avoid the APC-ish garbage exhausts, you should be ok.

yes 91 and up had the doch

only thing i've heard of that changed was the cams. i've heard 91 had the best cams. the rest have the same cams.

240's are notorius for their timing chains so ask or look for that.i can't answer your exhaust question.

I really doubt it. I have AT with my reserve unit for the next two weeks, and I need to spend most of the weekend getting ready for that. They called me on monday afternoon and told me I had to go...I love it when they do that

ok I'll call zion and see if he can give me a hand with it. you always learn better with hands on experience. if not I'm sure I can tackle it by myself shouldn't be too hard.
