Hey guys, just purchased my first import. All my friends were confused, since I've always been a Mustang guy. I've always wanted a 240 project, however, and came across a really good deal that I couldn't pass up.

I picked up this bad boy last Friday. It's a 1992 coupe with a KA24DE (DOHC, w00t), mated to a 5-speed. Picked it up for dirt cheap. As far as I can tell, it has a Nismo catback, Tokico Blue coilovers, some sort of longtube header, and obviously the S13 Silvia front end with the triple projector headlights.

I'm honestly in love with this car... It handles so well and feels so light, so it contrasts the Mustang very nicely (which doesn't handle too poorly given the suspension mods I've performed on it, but the 240 would run circles around it). The power isn't too bad, I think the dual cams help with that, and for a 4 banger, it's got some decent torque (coming from a guy with a V8 Mustang). I don't know a whole lot about 240s, but that's why I joined this forum in hopes that I'll learn a lot from you guys.

Anyways, here are some quick pics I took with my iPhone:





Like I said, the thing is fun as hell to drive, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this whole project goes. Let me know what you gents think. Throw out any basic info or suggestions you have.

Oh, and here's a pic of the Stang, if anyone cares.
