i think you should sell the dodge and dump that wasted money into the 240.

You guys are so negative about everything. My 240sx is just a project car and why would I dump my very reliable SRT4 (waste of money) maybe for you but I have money to play with. So what are you saying I should dump the gixxer as well to spend more money on the 16 year old chasis . I was originally going for a show car quality for my 240, I am just not there yet. I am sure you have seen the pic of the engine bay, I say it's 85% there. Interior is about 75% as well. Exterior, 0% lol. The colors I have chosen would be too flashy if it was a daily driver car

more pic. And to be honest with you, I like this ricey look just bc a lot of people pulls up next to me wanting to race me. I drove it for about 2 hours this week end, and I probably had about 6 3rd gear pulls, Including the New GTOs, Mustang Mach 1, other Hondas. But on my SRT4, no body want's to go at it for some reason.

Probably because people think you still have a stock KA in your S13.

That is the current engine, except it even looks cleaner. I just drive it when it's nice out and dust it off when I am done driving

I dont understand how the srt-4 is wasted money..? Looks like its a 2005. Its a pretty fast car and reliable when taken care of so how is it a waste of money. Hey bro, I cant wait to see the car when its all done. Im not really feeling the front bumper but hey to each his own. Nice gsxr also, wish i had one. Good luck getting the car together, that has to be the cleanest engine bay I have ever seen.

i have never been very impressed by the quality of workmanship in dodge cars. plus, for the price, there are better/faster cars in the same price range.

the srt-4 is simply a neon with the pt cruiser gt engine. sorry, not impressed by them.

I like the interior. Its to flashy for me but a very clean job. Why did you paint the fan?

Goo that's a lotta yellow. The engine bay is clean, I'm really lovin it. The interior is well done. I don't know if I would have gone with those specific seats, but that's just me. If you're just wanting to go the show route with the 240, I'd say slap an s15 front end on the car. It'll grab peoples attention which is what you want.

I have to disagree man, for the price, the srt4 is the best bang for the buck. Its faster than the WRX and still costs less. There is nothing better in its price range espessially because you can get a fully loaded one for around 22 grand. Next best car to buy would be an EVO or STI but those are completely different price ranges, over 10 grand more.

if your talking about just the regular wrx and not the sti, the srt4 is faster in 0-60 and quarter, and also in a roll. I didn't start this thread to talk bad about any cars. If you drive a fast cars, bike, boats whatever it maybe you have my respect. My bestfriend drives an Evo 8, but we never argue on who's car is better or faster. we both know that he kills me from a dig and I walk him from a roll. That's when we were both stock. Before I had my srt I had the neon rt. It's a personal taste. I looked at the Evo and the sti, but I just loved muscle car feel in the srt and price is not an issue.I just like dodge vehicle. I bought a brand new grand caravan for my wife and not once I had problem with it. Not once I had problem with my srt neither. Most people that comes into this forums are imature. I put this same pic on a different forum and nobody talk crap about the 240, srt or the gsxr, I guess they're just more grown up

That engine bay is sooo well cleaned. What did you use to clean the block like that....? I used carb cleaning on some spots, but man... is it hard.
