    I guess I'm not gonna get that civic its not in to good of shape and I found something better for alot less. I just found a Nissan 240sx that they will sell to me for $400 so I'm gonna buy that and keep my accord. I'm gonna use the accord for my daily drive while I work on this 240sx I was just wondering if anyone could give me some ideas on what I should do to it.

    Don't waste you money and buy another Honda

    Just kidding man, there tons of super clean 240's out there.

    I'd start with I/H/E and a drop and see what you want to go with from there. If I were you, I'd get some crazy offset rims for it. High offset wheels look sick on the occasional Nissan IMO.

    You want LOW offset wheels for a 240, not high offset. And wide.

    17x9 +20 ish.

    But, you're buying a $400 coupe so don't worry about it just yet. There's tons of other shit to fix first.

    Ah, I guess thats what I meant. I dont know much about that style I just know it looks cool

    But x2 on the fixing part, you'll have a lot more to worry about first.

    yea i guess ur right on the fixing part I never seen the car in peron yet but I just found out that it is over heating it has a new rad. They told me they think it is the head gasket or thermostat but I don't know I was thinkin maybe the head is cracked so i'm not to sure about buying it now

    I have a question I believe tha 240 that I'm looking into buying is 2.4L but I was thinkin if I have to buy a head how much will it cost me. When I was looking around I was finding that one from a Nissan pickup will work is this true? Because on a junk yard site I selected the car and they listed one from a truck and there is one on ebay and it says for truck or car

    its true. the pickups share the same powerplant with the 240 in USDM models. its a K24 i believe. the JDM cars got the coveted SR20.
