in the crowd i hang out with there are 2 kinds of 240's KA and SR, obviusly. that is what we call them, seriously........ i secretly want a CA.... they dont know that yet... should i tell them or just show up one day with one?

that was the entrance to my questions.... i need a CA before i can be called "retarded" how would i go about getting one? the CA, is it able to handle about 290-310 whp for daily driving. where do i go about getting parts? and when i breaks and its something i cant fix... who will fix it?

thanks-Brett

if you're going to get parts for it, a majority of the parts u can get right up the street at auto zone or any parts store, like i said "MOST" of those you'll find there. Just use a 88 pulsar NX 1.8L for your reference. hope that'll help a little.... as far as clutch goes... KA clutch will work w/ a little dremeling

KA clutch and I beleive a CA18ET 1984 to 1988 200sx turbo clutch is a direct bolt on. Get a CA, it'll piss off all the SR people and it'll piss on all the SR cars. I say dont tell them, just show up with it.

my first turbo car was a CA. i wanted a SR but bought it anway and with a few mods it used to beat heaps of 2L cars. i now have a SR and its great but there was something special about that car.

ok, i have decided. a CA seems like the logical choice. i looked up some specs on it and i hear it can handle more boost, stock, than an SR, it wieghs less, and the transmission is just a tad bit stronger and a tad bit closer than an SR... since im going to be Auto-Xing most of the time i guess thats the way to go
