Hey everyone! new Vancouver boy here and thought id show you my new toy i just picked her up like 3 weeks ago for my grad gift ive always liked 240s but ya picked up a Champagne NO RUST 92 Super Hicas Hatch automatic, yeah its auto i know that sucks but ill be changing it to 5 speed ones i get a new engine when my KA blows. i bought her for 800 Canadian dollars(you think i got a good deal on it or not?? let me know what you think)

when i picked up the car guy said its been sitting for like 6months but engine ran and cars already been dropped like 1.5inches came with some after market front and rear bumper, after market exhaust i forgot what brand. it has 280K the guy said the KA is a rebuilt im guessing he did a rebuild around 200k.

Havent really done much to the car since i got it just new pads, rotors, tires all around , change the fluids, Brakes wasnt working so i bled all of them found out it was the master brake cylinder leaking so i just bought new ones and i recently purchased a new Hatch lid since mine was rusted and the guy threw on some gold rust paint? :confused:also picked up rear and front Chuki bumpers Hatch+ bumpers+ some free interior stuff all for 110 dollars it was a steal!

some cons Passenger fender got a dent , Rear driver quarter panel got a big dent windshields, crack, carpets very dirty other than that car runs great! :gotme

i dont have much plans yet on it though, thought you guys might help me out and give me some ideas! i dont know if im staying with the after market bumper or go to the Chuki i just bought? :crazy:

Heres some pics let me know what you think! :mike


heres a pic of the car when i first saw it at the guys house friend was in the car starting it up!

Heres some pic when i got it home!

Why are you just waiting for your engine to blow? If it has been rebuilt and runs well why not just go KA-T instead of waiting expecting the engine to blow

Fixed your pics, the IMG code was good, but you didn't link to the actual file but the photobucket view code.

Why does everyone assume that their KA will just magically blow up one day?

Anyway, looks like a good buy from what I've been hearing about canadian 240s. DEFINITELY looks better with that new bumper on it. Good luck man!
