What up NICO, I bought my kouki back in March and have been extremely anxious to start hookin it up. But the first order of business is to do a 5spd swap so I haven't done anything to it yet. But anyway that's beside the point. I just wanted to get an idea of how long it may have taken some of you, from the when you first aquired your 240, to when you first began any upgrades. Just curious that's all

Nice NOS!!! I've had my car for a year and have slowly been modifying it. Short shifter, rotors, rims, tires, headunit, shift knob etc... This summer I have big plans for her though. I say if you have the money, time and it's worth it to you go for it.

I've had mine for a year and a half and I haven't done a damn thing except for a cd player and changing the bulbs in my gauge cluster.

It'll prob be another year until I get started on it

You know what sucks, I saw the car on a dealer lot one day heading back to work from a lunch break, so I went on their website and it said it was a 5spd so I was like sweet then when I got off work and went over there it was actually an autotragic. Bummer. I gotta get my money right and do a manual swap first and foremost. I don't wanna do anything until then. I'm still on the fence about just doing a manual swap or doing a complete sr swap. My thinking is that I'll more than likely end up doing a sr swap later on down the road anyway. I dunno.
