I highly recommend selling it to someone who wont abuse the crap out of it.

get the biggest jdm wing you can possibly get and it out to the max. Every sticker adds 5~10 hp and the wing can help you get your 1/4 mile down by 3 seconds. Oh neons and led lights are good for at least 3hp. Big *** stereo and 4 12" sony xplodes. Also get a full body kit and euro tails. Put a ful roll cage. And coilovers to slam it 1 1/2" off the ground. Also the loudest exhaust you can buy and seethrough hood and intake.

on the serious post note:

dont do **** to it yet. it'll take at least an entire year of driving it to find all of the problems you're going to have.

youre gonna learn a lot in that year. because i guarantee any 240 you find is going to have at least three major engine problems right off the bat.

i have had my 240 for a year on sept 11th.... funny how that worksonly problem i have had is passing air care, but i finaly passed because i found out the elbow in the egr system had a leak. put a hose on it and passed no problem...

i don't know why everyone wants to put turbo kits and have 300whp, sure it is fun and cool but you don't need that kind of power.

the 240 has just enough power to have fun with. i suggest that if you want a drift car work on your suspension first and then get some good brakes and tires. once you can drift that well you will probably find that you don't need a turbo and it would just be taking money away from tires.

240's are plain fun cars with very little mods, suspension is a must. i have shocks/lowering springs because coilovers would probably ruin my back within a week, city roads suck. also it is kinda nice not having to go over every speed bump sideways and scrape.

just wanted to say u are a jerk off... im actually being serious... im not one of those lil fast n furious pricks... i have a 92 camaro i do my drifting and **** in right now but alot of people are giving me **** cuz 1. its a v8 and 2. its domestic so thats why i went and got a 240 cuz i love the real wheel drive.. but the reason i asked for some SERIOUS questions for people to help with is because ive been working my whole life around camaros and firebirds thanks to my parents but im new to the import scene and was actually looking for some positive feed back not a bunch of jerk offs telling me to add stickers or give them the car or whutever, but if this is the kinda feedback im gonna get from the self proclaimed best website on the net for 240 owners then yall can kiss my ***

dude, you have to understand how many people ask that same question....

i told you what i thought and i wasn't being a jerk, so you can go back to screwing yourself

are you refering to the bigger rubber hose in the EGR system? like three inches and makes a 90 degree bend?

i hope i helped you with that too, i dont know why that fails so much. bad material selection or something.

hey bro i wasnt talking to u.. i was replying to the dumb *** comments neverlift made... not u homey... thanks though

Post by **DjPantsSpecR** » Wed Sep 13, 2006 1:04 pm

oh sorry guy, i knew that much i was actually talking to SuLoS.

i believe at some point every KA will probably fracture at this "elbow." my theory is it was a poor material selection for its size, the amountn of vacuum, and the heat level at that location, as well as the bend obviously.

In case you didn't realize it, we were mocking you.

Dude, you definetly need to cut back on the smileys.

You, comming from domestics... should know better than to buy a car because people are giving you crap about your current one. If you already drift, you should know why suspension is so very important... why you felt the need to ask questions so very stupidly i have no idea. Next time, perhaps not using retard leet is in order.

Do these things first:suspensionsway barsthe rest of the suspensionfix the broken things on that engine, there has to be somethingmaybe an LSDif you still have money, and still have a need for power... well, your a domestic guy, drop a pushrod motor in there

and hello to you bloomington.

Post by **archaphil** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 11:22 am

hehe aye hello to u as well, perhaps we can get together sometime shoot teh poop about 240's and such, go for a drive with fellow MN 240 owners, perhaps... just perhaps we should make a thread about it.....

ah, sir head your way on over to the regional section of NICO. you'll see MANY MANY minnesota members.

we just had a meet actually, except everyone else had 350zs and STis and Evos.... and then it was me and Ajax in an n/a 240.....

but i'll pretty much meet with any 240 owner any time. you'd be surprised who you meet
