Heres some pics of my 240, originally bought it for 900 bucks already swapped. Dumbass kid before me ran the car out of coolant (leaking water pump, badly leaking) and cooked the turbo seals. With-in the weekend it was running again.



My roommate decided to also wet sand a c*** into the trunk as well as a pair of tits on the hood and another d!ck. In total there were 4 pen15’s either painted or wet sanded into this car at one point. (as seen in 1st picture you can see 2 pen15’s one on trunk lid and one on bumper)

I took off those nasty a** chrome wheels and got a free shark nose bumper from a friend and on that went. Also decided to spray the roof black.

That’s how the engine bay looked when I got it. I feel I got a pretty banging deal on the car.

Up until this point the car had only a driver seat and passenger seat and dashboard. That was it. It sucked a** to drive. It was noisy hot and uncomfortable. Went to pull a part and got all the interior bits minus door panels for 30 bucks. Ill consider that a win. I also primed the car because it was multi color and I hated it.



Now were getting a bit closer with a radio and door panels and what not.



Then went to get the car tuned and dyno’d. Mind you this is a stock CA with only a slightly larger t25 and half of a 3in exhaust with stock DP still.



Disappointing but still not too shabby since the car is only rated at 160 or 170hp stock at the crank.

I managed to source a mint piggy bumper. I also managed to convince this guy to part with his Sa3-r’s for the cheapness. So on they went. Also at the same time I put on my HKS FMIC that did not require me to cut ANYTHING. It uses all the stock SMIC piping but runs a pipe across the front of the car by the crash bar. Here’s how it currently looks, it was also painted Cherry red pearl, the OEM color for this specific one.

This all happened in less than 2 months time also.

CA18DET FTMFW!!! People just don't know man, they just don't know!!

Its looking really good now. You have that red/black paint scheme down! Dyno results look good for a stock CA! I would not be disappointed. Mine was running rough, but it only made 150whp when I first dyno'd it.

2 months time? You have been busy!
