yellowxhoodie 240sx build thread.

so as some of you know i recently sold my civic and picked up a 92 240sx hatch.

figured id show you guys whats goin on, the internets been pretty dead lately.

pics will be up tonight of how i got the car and what ive done so far. (very little, no time or money)

this build will be extremelllly slow, FIY.

first thing on the list is a KA24DE motor with 100K miles less than the one thats in there, and a manual trans since its auto right now.

always gotta have your own thread dont ya? lol pics or ban! :-p

no sr20 or rb swap? jw..I don't know jack about 240's :P

240 suits u so much more then the civic or tc. ur always posting up sick pics of risky devils or others 240's

!

i was going to go SR20DET, i actually found quite a few locally, but funds are hella short right now since i just bought the car. i dont have the time or the money to be messin around with that. Ill be picking up the KA24DE w/ manual trans tomm hopefully and throwing it in within the next couple weeks when i can buy the master cylinder, clutch petal, and other little parts.

Car wouldnt start on me today so i spent most of the day just messing around with that. Also started gutting the rear tonight, im in the process of cleaning up a heap of wires that were left by the guy who owned it 2 persons ago (grammar? who cares, lol) from his subs.

once i get the new motor and trans in ill be focusing on little things. (re-doing the radio my way, putting the fans on a switch, etc)

next season, i might end up selling the tc, i just dont want to deal with car payments and the $$$ insurance anymore, especially since they cut my hours at work.

if that happens i will end up throwin on some Stance coils, rims that dont fit, and some goofy ___ aero...that is, if this shell is even good enough, i still need to take a closer look when the motors out to determine if i want to keep this one and build it or buy another shell and swap everything.

couple pics up in a bit.

Hey the sr20 is cool but a good ole Ka build is awesome. Its a really good engine. It can make alot of power as well. Cant wait to see pics bro!

making a new photobucket now so i dont weigh my old one down. lol

i wonder how much it would cost to do a manual swap

u have any pics of the civic?

Dont look that bad. Not a bad starting platform. Get that baby running and it will make you wanna mod it even more.

its been running, i drove it to work all week, just didnt wanna start today. new battery will be here tomm. morning since i had to special order it.

also picking up the new motot and trans tomm so if the battery doesnt do it, ill prob replace the dizzy and starter too.

i only have a few pics of the civic but i sold it to a friend so its still around, im curious to see what she'll do with it.

as far as the swap, its free when you DIY. but there are guys around here who charge about $400 and have it done in 2 days.

needs more lowww! :)

^Dude you sold your wheels?

nope... still selling them... :lalala:

andrew, i only have like 1, and it wasnt even finished and i really dont feel like finding it now. lol

yes, it needs more low, already on springs but hopefully some nice Stance coils next year.

no my goldies... my rpf's get here saturday!!!!!!!! tires are just waiting to be mounted

lol, damn they musta sent yours last.
