From Civic to 240

Hey whats goin on! I technically dont have a 240 yet... but its just a matter of time... i'm in the process of selling my '99 Civic Si for a '95+ 240. Getting tired of the whole FWD torquess wonder. It was fun.. but definitly time to move on.

I've read the FAQ's on what to look out for in terms of a used 240.. but anyone have any other insights on what areas to focus on?

I pretty much have the car planned out already.. sr20det is a must... I havent done much research on this yet so this might just sound stupid.. haha... but i've heard the s15 front ends are fairly easy to put on an s14? I definitly need a good suspension (auto-x baby!)... not really into the body kit thing.. just clean lines with a lot of performance

Here are some crappy quality pictures of my Si (if anyone really cares.. haha)

(btw... my valve cover stayed that color for about 3 hours.. only till i had enough time to strip it and repaint it... that color looked hideous)

Welcome to the forums, hope ya like it here. The S15 front conversion isnt exactly easy..but not to hard. Time consuming for sure and might be a little frustrating with the fitment. It is VERY pricey though

welcome. JynX pretty much nailed it. oh, and for the 'S15 front' to fit, u need some kinda conversion kit (unless u got bodywork skills like that). btw, the Si looks pretty smooth.
