Damn i just installed the cusco os bars a day ago and i just love how it handles. Now i love my car even more. Turns are my favorite part now. Makes driving a joy.

Im just wondering what upgrade/upgrades did you guys do to your 240 that made it more Fun/exciting/ generally a blast to drive?

:pface

-stainless steel brake lines

-removing the mechanical fan made things quieter and more fun to rev

-exhaust sounds yummy and reminds you everytime you start it up, just how damn well the KA purrs.

-I hear the B&M short shifter is a huge improvement and many people fall in love with their cars again after they aquire it.

thanks for the bm short shifter, i look into that

I also heard that replacing the steering whell to a racing steering wheel improve handling too

I think my 240 set up will be no show no go all handles:ylsuper

The one item that will transform just about ANY car from simple economy car into handling champion go kart status are some expensive sticky tires.

Makes guys look like heroes behind the wheel.

first, the old spring/shock combo I used to have. Those got old, and the tein he's made it fun again. The CA made it slightly more interesting to drive, too :)

my suspension, and as of today, my megan STBs. on & off ramps are so much fun. but the mod that gets the most attention is my Bomex lip. everywhere i go, heads turn. even when i've parked, people come up and check out my 240. theres a couple 240s in my town, but mine and my friends are the only ones that stand out from every1's. its pretty safe to say that we've made them popular in our lil town.

Nismo motor mounts, short shifter, and HKS actuator. Crank up the boost for $100, can't beat that.
