I'm 15...I'm sure all of you guys had some kind of financial help. I dno't see why someone would flame me over my first car getting helped with my parents..I could see a differential if it was like 20k..but it's 5.

And I also live 5-10 minutes from short pump.

 

no i had none....... i was into cars as a teen.... and i funded everything from day one.


if you have not been around this culture for a while.. its something you will not understand. like i said lol i don't care brother, just trying to save you some heat from those who ... well would be jealous. And to be honest... when someone gives you something, you tend to not respect it as much as when you work long hours to get it.

 

I'm sure he'll eventually pay his parents back?
and yeah, that's a pretty high budget for a 240.
I'm going to find a stock one for you, even though with that kind of budget you can buy one already swapped.

Some have suspension work.

 

Oh I appreciate what my parents do for me..im going to pay them back for moer than my car..

And shaban can you give me an estimate of how much a manual conversion cost?? a lot of those 240's were automatic but very clean.

 

i didnt even see your in VA, i use to work in glen allen and everything shaban has said about the cops is 100% true.

 

to change it, depends if you do it yourself or if you get someone to do it for you... it's about $700- $1300 (i think... my cousin did his for $500)

 

Nice, I will probably try too get a friend too help me so I can save as much money as possible.

What do you guys prefer, SR or KA, can I get pro's and con's of each?

thanks

 

I like both. I like the torque from the KA, but I like how easy the SR is to maintain/upgrade.

 

+1

 

I think I want to go SR, any sites where I could buy one for the cheapest but most reliable price?

 

go up to www.japaneseengineimport.com they are up in dc and you can drive up there and pick out your own engine

 

You're going to get a lot of different replies with this kind of question. I'm a KA fan. The big misconception with these cars is that as soon as you get one, the KA motor is worthless. Honestly; any engine is as good as you can build it.

Of course there are going to be limitations to what an engine can produce but you may never get to that point. Anyway, with the KA vs SR, they've both got pros and cons.

 

Well I'm looking too get 250-300 whp torwards the peak of my car.. I do live in virginia haha, and it's gonna be a daily driver.

So basically, my question is which one would be a lot easier and cheaper too reach 300whp, and isn't it going to be kinda pricey to find a 240 with low miles on the KA?

 

yea... i been through my fair share of 240's and im finally going somwhere with this one but yea after so many years im not even close to being done and i dont even know if i will be happy at the end anymore but i finish what i start so this is the life of a 240 owner

 

... 66k original miles on a 95 s14 for 6k
or
buy an s13 sell, swap in the sr20, get used to that power, when you're about 18 years old, then upgrade it. you already have 200hp (estimate)... just add exhaust manifold, fmic, exhaust, body kit, stickers, hood scoop, roof scoop, lambo doors, and you have an easy 300hp
