Alright so I've been posting on here a little bit getting things sorted out on my new project. Just thought I'd share my actual car. A big thanks to everyone who has been so helpful so far! And the pictures aren't as sharp as I'd like. I had to snap these quick since some retard was parked nearby watching me like a hawk(why? I don't know) I plan on getting suspension mods done while this old (200,000 mile) motor runs and then getting the KA24DE rebuilt. Not sure where I'll go from there. The guy before me ran a cat-less 3" exhaust and removed the bottom portion of the intake box (hillbilly short ram ). We'll see where things go.

Thanks for all the comments! Indiana rules! haha. If these clouds would pass over and give me some piece of mind, I might break out the claybar and see what I can do. If it works expect a better photoshoot :

Haha, yeah I used that title because there are some amazing cars on here and I didn't want people thinking I was trying to hang in the same rank.

Car looks good, so do the photos

Anyways, since you dont know the differences and all that, heres a good link to help get you started with some basic info on the 240.

Haha, I'm actually thinking about re-doing them in a completely different color. We'll see though. It'll be a while before I get new wheels (suspension first) so I'll have to keep these interesting. Until then, carry on bronze brother!

Sweet I'll check that out! I actually traded for this car in Indy. The owner was a good friend of mine.

Just a little over a week. Already did a full tune up on it and cleaned up the MAF and throttle body. Needed a little TLC. I still get an idle drop when I push in the clutch and brake but I'm not sure what its from (vacuum maybe?) but it never stalls. Need to get the cooling system fixed (dumbass ripped out the thermostat I assume since his coolant reservoir has a hole in it) and replace the brakes then get suspension ordered and drift er' til she blows ,haha. You have any pictures of your ride, man?

Sweet! And who did your SR swap if you don't mind me asking. I need to find a price estimate for getting a KA re-built then decide a course of action. I'd love to have just a fresh KA motor

What do you guys think? Time attack style OEM wheels....This might be my next cheap cosmetic mod after the claybarring is done.

Ha, I was playing around with photoshop on my car, and did that. I showed my girlfriend thinking she would give me the normal "I really don't care about cars" bit, but she responded with "That's the most redneck thing I have ever seen...".

According to her, the only thing I'm allowed to do to my car to save face from her redneck status is lower it.

Haha, I feel you there. Although my wife liked the idea of white with anodized blue lip. Maybe she DOES have good taste in cars, although she hates the idea of me lowering it. The Del Sol was one stiff ride, haha.
