This is my work in progress s13 (though I'm having a hard time finding any 240 that's not stock that ISN'T almost always a work in progress). Bought the car in February of 09 with a blown KA (pictures of the carnage below) and swapped in another KA which turned out to have (surprise, surprise) rod knock in the 3rd cylinder. Then in April she went over to Tiger Racing to get an SR swap from the 180 front clip my dad got for me. Anyway onward with my blabbering. Mods Red top sr20 swap Hks ssqv bov Front mount Rs*r Springs Kyb Agx shocks Brembo rotors Tein tie rods Battle version tc rods Silvia front end conversion VIS carbon hood Triple Projectors Southern Ways 2 piece meshie rims ( Purple, ftw) I know I'm missing things, but whatever. You're here for the pictures anyway .. First swap Blown KA to KA with unknown rod knock D: ^^ Sneaky Integra.. Hole in the first KA block And the miscellaneous parts in the oil pan.. Pre-SR swap, post bath. Red top in the 180 clip During the swap Post swap pre-new hood And here's the reason I got a new hood, and swapped my double projectors for triples.. ^^ My mom backed into my car. It was an honest mistake. At the Body shop Back from the body shop New rims Opening the hatch was like Christmas.. And I wish this picture wasn't so grainy after I edited it... Anyway, that's all I have for now.

Hopefully this summer. I keep having to fix little things on it. ( Last week it was steering rack bushings.. this week it's... something weird.)

That's a 240 for ya, problems, problems, problems. I'm in the same boat. I'm wanting to sell mine though for a nicer one. But nice set up! All JDM and what not lol

Haha. I didn't really WANT a sil80, but for the price I couldn't pass it up and I've grown so attached to it that I don't want to give it up. But yes, 240's are money pits.. I knew this when I bought the car.. it's still just as infuriating as if I hadn't known that some days though.

I like the sil80. Sets it apart from most of the W.I.P. hatches.

Looking good. Don't really know much about these cars, so I'll just take your word on it, lol! Can't wait to see it painted.

None as of yet. This summer I'll be working on that, when I can hopefully actually afford tires. Hahaha.
