Sounds like a good deal. What year? Options? Any mods? Hatch or coupe? More details man...

all the damn hatches around here sell in 2 seconds :(, or are 300 miles away.. $2500 with 100K is a great price, a little under bluebook.

i know theres a huge diff in the engines haha. well i just talked to the parents and they said it was cool if i sold my civic and bought the 240. they even said it was cool that i get a sr20 in fact they would prefer me to have a newer engine because its "safer" hahaha how sweet is that

Smog your ka right before the swap and you're good for 2 years. After that find a crooked smog tester and pay him off :(

Rocketreno do you have a sr20 in your 240? My bro lives in La Jolla and hs friend found a smog tester that just does the tail pipe test. I think the shop was in El Cajon or somewhere. Would be cool though.

I don't have an sr20, don't plan on getting one soon either. A bit out of my price range :/You can find guys like that, but its a hassle sometimes. For a really fast car though, it can be worth it!

I'm glad Tennessee doesnt have a visual inspection but we do have that obdII crap. So if I ever decide i want a s14 w/ a swap I'll have to get a 95 model.
