glad yo have a 240.. a few questions...

A) is this your first rwd car?
B) How much do you have to spend... an SR swap dont by someone else with the motor can cost upwards of 4k
C) What kind of wheels do you like

ok a few things.. RWD cars are very different than a fwd car. it would be best for you to learn how to drive your car take it to a few autoX and imrove the handeling characteristics that it has right now. After that then do the swap you will be glad you waited.

make sure you have at least 4k in the bank.. becasue 2k will not get yo ua decent motor.

and the VX-8 are great wheels.. 18s are too big for my tatste and the tires cost to much
