hi all of club240. i just read a few threads on this forum and i was quite interested at the amount of people who own and mod thier 240s. if you guys dont mind i just wanna share my 240 story i recently bought it with everything stock from my co-worker for close to nothing because the automatic transmission was stuck in 3rd (i hear its very common with auto) so anyway i bought a manual transmission for almost $400 and with that problem out of the way i can finally look forward to driving it. i came to this site hoping to give me an understanding on what i need to do to increase the perfomance of the car on a very open budget.
