hey everyone, i just picked up a 95 240 with an sr20 with only about 2500 miles

traded my 96 eclipse gs-t and i am amaised with the power it puts down with nothing but a front mount and a few other minor upgrades

basically just introducing myself, im chris and i like to party hahaha

but on a more serious note, i feel like my transmission is running hot, the whole center console feels warm, this is my first rwd car so maybe this is common for the transmission position?

also i see some leaking around the shifter...

and it has a very "bouncy" idle, i see some fray on the wires of the tps, could this be the cause?

i know im probably in the wrong catagory but like i said im new to the forum.

thanks in advance.

I drove my car last year, and I tend to stay on the south side, most of the time. Any where around Robberts Rd, Harlem Ave, La Grange Rd, 95th St. But midway is not that far away from me. You go to any meets, been to "Strats" hot dog place over in Elmhurst. Toyota Park has a meet, during summer time, it's like Tuesday or Wednesday like 6-9pm or something. Other wise dont know any body around here with twofouty, people mostly hide when I tend to cruise.

240s-sex, dont know about DSM's but 240's. If you stay around this site, and need any help, you find it sooner than you think. And SEARCH button always helps if you ever will need to search for mods/help/how-to's, and I know you will

welcome.

bouncy idle sounds like a vac leak

heat+transmission= not so good. I would be checking fluid levels in the gears and for that matter do a whole tune up.

why would someone trade a car they just swapped less than 3k ago?

The Sr20 is pretty much a gr8 platform. Plenty of parts for it. Rwd is far better than fwd.

Btw, awesome lookin' s14. Have fun w/ it.

lilpiton, they did last year. I drove semi's, to the CSX rail yard one that's on Harlem and 74th Ave. Which is right across from Toyota Park. I was unable to attend, because of what I did. But I dont do that anymore, so if this year they dont have it I will be .
