I thought I would start a build thread since this car has gotten a lot of love in the past and I'm sure a lot of people want to see how it ends up. First, I thought I would introduce myself; I'm Suraj, 23 years old, living in Michigan. I'm a huge Honda buff and ever since completing my Civic build, I've been itching to do a 240 build.

I spent a few months looking for a clean shell and I was having a hard time coming across one. Then my friend Damon decided to part out his car so I jumped on it since it was the perfect platform to build on. I picked it up in December (or was it January?) and after a crazy night, we finally got the car back to my house.

Plans for the car are to make it into a nice street cruiser that I can hop in after a day at work and just drive around town and enjoy the experience. I know I will probably catch some flak for this but I want to LS1 swap it since I already have a turbo 4 cyl in my Civic.

I'm really anal when it comes to building cars so I plan on doing this car right and updating this project log with a bunch of photos. Hope you guys enjoy the thread!

Car when we brought it home sitting next to my Civic

Another one of the party sedan

Fueled Racing headers, got a great deal on these off a guy on silviav8.com

Next I ordered some Apex'i N1 EXV coilovers

Box was a little damaged but nothing too bad

Quality seems really nice overall, I have the Koni/Ground Control setup on my Civic and these seemed on par quality-wise

What is this camber plate black magic
