So many damned choices...

[Scylla]

Arrrrg...basically, I've narrowed it down to 2 choices for getting a 240: a 1991 240 fastback, or a 1995 240 w/S14a front end. &nbsp;I have no idea what to get. &nbsp;I love how the S14a looks, but I think the hatchback is growing on me (hmmm...I loved how my hatchback teg looked, maybe I'm a hatch guy). &nbsp;Are there any noticeable advantages/disadvantages to each? &nbsp;I am planning on swapping in an S14 SR20DET (It'll pull a premium at race wars... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> ) to either, so engines don't count. &nbsp;I have a few questions:

1)Can the fastbacks headlights be converted to the JDM S13's headlights? &nbsp;I know the tails can,b ut I don't know about the headlights.

2)Does the fastback handle better than the 1995-98 240's?

3)Are parts easy to get for a fastback?

Thanks guys!

which S13 headlights?? pretty much all S13 parts are interchangeable in some way.... (besides a fastback rear on a coupe, but that's besides the point?).

parts should be easy to get for the S13.

as far as handling between the 2.... I like the S14 as it feels more controlled... but my old S13 was just such a toss-able car.

91 S13 hatch all the way . Its a sports car through and through <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;S14's are cool but I like S13's better IMHO

[KiDyNomiTe]

I think a lot of people have gone through the same situation. They began likeing the S14 and disliked the S13 (usually because of the pop up headlights). Then, I swear we always use the same word, the S13 "grew" on us. Then they buy the S13. But usuallyt S14s r harder to find, and s13s are cheaper, so the extra $3K-$6K you have left after getting the S13 instead of S14 you can spend on some go fast mods.

sorry this is a bit out of topic...
what year is your teg? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
sorry guys.. a bit of my old car's memories still haunted me somehow &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

lol, Bbandit, no prob. &nbsp;96 LS. &nbsp;I had big plans for it...at first, I wanted to go N/A, but too much work...then supercharging, but the B18B is apparently a terrible platform for it, and then LS/VTEC, but I heard there is too much room for error if you don't know what you're doing...then I moved on to turboing. &nbsp;But I figure that selling the teg for $7K, buying a 240 for $3-4k and then turboing it will be cheaper than going all out on my teg, hehe. &nbsp;Here's a quick pic of a recent wax: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid19/p8ab9d7cf215e5a16de3b5444efc0efac/fdc5e379.jpg

Woulda looked nice with a big front mount intercooler, hehe. &nbsp;Ever hear about team-integra.net? &nbsp;Great place.

Anyways, enough with reminding 240 owners of previous cars. &nbsp;As for the headlights...I've never been a big fan of flip-up headlights, but I've never had a car with em...I know they seem bright as hell, because most of em point straight ahead and not angled to the ground, at least my friends' Probe is like that. &nbsp;By S13 headlights, I meant the Japanese front w/headlights.

KiDyNomiTe, that's exactly what happened...I wasn't even really considering the S13, but now, it is really starting to grow on me. &nbsp;A shiny black 240 fastback or a nice silver one...mmmm...

Will the SR20DET fit into the fastback, or is it a different platform?

[SR20Fastback]

hell yeah it fits in the fastback, fits like a damn champ <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[adey]

So it has begun! The flocking to 240s is come... {sigh}

[Scylla]

Actually, I first got interested when someone at team-integra.net was considering selling their teg for an S13 or S14 with the SR20, and everyone really approved of it. &nbsp;Even the guys at Honda-tech loved the SR20DET. &nbsp;I pretty much ignored those posts until I discovered that I could save a couple thousand by selling my teg and turboing a 240. &nbsp;That, and my cousin had a hot 97 240 &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Hmm, I guess it would make sense to ask the guy named SR20Fastback some questions on fitting the SR20 into a fastback... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

What problems did you run across with fitting? &nbsp;Which model SR20DET do you have? &nbsp;Do you autocross or drag, or neither? &nbsp;How much did your setup cost you? &nbsp;Thanks!

[nrcooled]

There are no problems getting the sr in the s13.

It was meant to be in there! &nbsp;Just never made it to the party over in the states. &nbsp;Anyway I have a s13 redtop w/ the smic and its faster than the two, count them, two turbo hondas (civic and teg) that are in my area. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Some here will endorse putting a turbo on the KA and boosteds14 is making like 450hp+ w/ his. &nbsp;The option is yours. &nbsp;I love my redtop and wouldn't trade it for the world.

Integra's = nice, but FWD = &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

if you mean by "jdm" headlights the silvia headlights...then yes...they are easily exchanged and you'd have a sharp lookin sil80. &nbsp;People do it with their ugly ass s13 usdm coupes to make them purty &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

I was thinking about just turboing the engine that came with it...but I don't know, I'm not planning on going about 300whp, and the SR20 will serve this purpose. &nbsp;And something about a stock turboed engine will make me sleep better at night. &nbsp;Just makes me feel like it's a bit more reliable because it was designed for boost. &nbsp;That's ultimately why I didn't turbo the teg (need too much money to make it really reliable). &nbsp;But that doesn't mean I'm gonna cut corners with the SR20, of course <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I hated the understeer in my teg. &nbsp;The only time I was able to get it to drift was on a dirt road with a 110 degree turn, lol.

The fastback has this sort of smooth, sexy look that i really like, hope the Silvia headlights will look good on it.
