Hello All. I have just purchased my first 240. It's a white 93 Coupe 5 Speed w/ the KA24DE. It runs great, has ice cold air, and only needs a new rear diff. No big deal by any means. I am not new to perfomance cars as I have owned a highly modifed Conquest TSI, and currently own an 04 WRX and an incredibly modifed EVO VIII(over 400 AWHP on 93). I am looking to sell the EVO and move on to the 240 for a while. It just seems like a fun platform to mess w/. I know that I won't get the same kind of crazy power, but it should be a fun trip. I'm looking forward to meeting some good folks on here and getting this project under way. First things first, the suspension under there is huge! WTF? There's no way bigger tires will fit under there, right? I've done some searcing around here, and it looks like you have to go to a coilover setup to get a 7.5 or 8.0 tire, right? I've been running the TEIN Flex w/ EDFC in my EVO and love it. Same results w/ the S-13's? Also what are the options for turbo kits. Of course I've tossed the idea of doing the swap, but still very undecided. Suspension and Wheels are the first on the list though. This thing feels like a school bus in the corners. Any feedback would rock.
Thanks,
Jeremy
