Hey,
So aftera year of shopping around for the perfect 240 i have come to and bittersweet end,
I have bought a 92 240Sx LE,
Tan in color,
So far i have bought a magnaflow muff, Aurora plug wires and Dist. cap and rotor, had allt he dents fixed and the black stripe taken off and filled in, along the body,
Anyways i have 2 rather large questions,
first , Should i rebuild the stock engine in it (since my buddy has one left from his transplant to a SR20det) and buy a Big turbo system for it and agreddy piggyback fuel system,
plus gauges and etc,
Or is it really worth the extra money to put in the Sr20?
keep in mind i want this car to be able to hit the highway on a road trip and with the system bumpin and the air conditioning blasting!, but stil be able to smoke lil honda ******'s off the light, and drift the odd corner here and there, maybe even catch a local drift/autocross event..
my second large question is
i have some (typical) 240 problems and would like to know how to fix them,
-when turning after parking (3 point type turns ) the steering makes a lil clunk sound
-oil leaking from the bolts of the head. (between the plug wires)
-makes that rattling sound inthe valve cover area (someone menshioned its the timing chain tensioner) ??
Any other typical problems i should look out for?
Anyways il try and get some pics off threw out my process of building this car into my lil sweet ride!
