You buy a car that's 13 years old, you're going to get problems like that, unless you get a car from a person like my friend, who garaged it from day one and whose whole family is anally clean. And even still it has its creaks and what not, mileage does that to cars.Newer the better, less miles the better, the more you spend, usually the better (just make sure it's worth it).If you got snow in your area, might be some fun negotiating the car.Power delivery is better than most in its range, with lots of potential in virtually every aspect of this car (brute power, handling) which is mostly why we are all here today.There are enough body kits to make a Honda owner happy, so if you want to make it look all pretty and stuff, a 240 can do that, but then it defeats the purpose of getting one. Most of us like looks, but we get the 240 because of the performance potential.But yeah, my 240 has quirks, but overall pleased with the car, good luck with your search, make sure you know what you're getting into though. Happy hunting.

Spoolinbabe, welcome to NICO

Be sure to check out the engine forums...most any question you'll have about swapping in an SR, or just maintaining and upping power in the KA will be there. Good luck with the car!

Why is it when a male newbie comes along, 1 out of 2-3 members tell him to use the search function, but when a member with a estrogen-hinted screenname joins the sausagefest, everyone spends the time to answer her to his best ability? I'm usually not the one to say "search, newb", just making a point.

This is typical of almost all car forums.

I helped her pick the name; she's one of my personal friends. I'm just trying to make her experience a good one here. In any case, back to the subject...

No no no you got it all wrong, we're not pigs, we just like to help out the other sex in hopes that it will pay off some day;). Wait I guess that makes us pigs.

Yup. Although I haven't played any FF for years, I might have to brush the dust off and go down memory lane.

Yeah...it's the only sig quote that I've got left that I haven't used before. I suppose I could use some old ones from the other boards; they'd be new here...
