hey everyone, i just bought me a 95 240 SE. manual, 145k miles, one owner, adult lady driven, she bought it brand new in 95. i got it for $3700, bone stock. some guy slammed into my passenger rear of my last car, 02 honda ES1. i can't believe his insurance ended up totaling it, it drove perfectly fine, just had a smashed rear end....o well, time for something new! these are the pics i took lastnight after i picked it up....looking forward to the plans i have for her

the name is josh btw and i live in orlando, i'm a smod on 7thgenhonda. i'm looking for the megan catback, so let me know thanks, enjoy!

The background of the second pic looks really crisp and clear for some reason...I thought you may have been using an XTi or something

as a matter of fact, yes it is the 820 model haha. like i said though, i was surprised myself. night pics have never came out this good for me before....maybe it's a sign? haha. i've got some parts that i'm selling off my 02 ES1, one guy PM'd earlier today about trading intake/exhaust/strut tower bar for a nikon d40x. i've been wanting a DSLR for so long! i just might do it

your first mod should be rubbing compound and polish on the fogged headlights

so you stole my camera and my car from me, huh?yeah, these cameras take pretty good night shots.thats okay though, i've stolen other people's cars on here also! for the headlights, you could sand them down to really get the lens cleaned off, then polish it. It will come out great.

hahah, yah it does look like the paint doesn't really match. the clear is pretty much gone except for the driverside door and mirror. it's never been in an accident though

yes, women drivers usually don't beat their cars to s*** haha, so i was lucky

my sincerest apologies for stealing your digi, i promise i'll give it back next week. wait, where do you live? o and i wouldn't say you've stolen these guys' cars on here, they may come after you....yah i was planning to shine the headlights up real nice. i'm sure i'm going to just switch them out down the road

well the megan na type is 2.38 piping w/4.5 tip and the turbo type is 3 piping w/4.5 tip. And i do agree with blakexcore, theres no point in putting a turbo catback on if you're not planning to go turbo later....

hmm, well i did see on meganperformance.com that they've got the n/a for $315 plus shipping and the turbo for $385 plus shipping. it's tempting since it's the turbo catback and it would be $385 shipped. i would definitely do it for $350 shipped, if you could. brand new right?

i actually went ahead and ordered the n/a off meganracingperformance.com, but i found it cheaper on ebay a few hrs later. so i called megan back and left a message to see if they would match the ebay price. if not, i'll cancel the order and pick it up on ebay
