[DaBlkSupaMn]

wow you guys have no idea how ecstatic i am right now :snoop: :D... i have finally found my baby i am going to finally buy my first 240 and im way excited... it is a 89 hatch, the guy said he just did a swap but im not sure if he put another KA in there or what (shall be discussed on thursday hopefully). Supposedly it only has 50k on the motor???? who knows???? (will be discussed on thursday). The only problems are that after the swap the guages and the taillights dont work anymore. any body know what that could be? and im not sure if the swap was professionally done or if it was done by him, (will be discussed on thursday. the question i have is that since its been swapped and what not and it is an 89... what are some things i should look for when i go take a look at the car???????

sounds like the swap was done by him. and it sounds like its an E->DE swap. if you don't get the DE gauge cluster, then you wont have gauges, cause your single cam gauges won't work with the dual cam motor.

*edit* look for the typical things when car shopping..

check the seals around windows. pop the hood, check around under there, make sure nothing's disconnected or loose. pull the dipstick and check the oil. look at all the sheetmetal from angles and see that they're aren't any serious ripples or anything that might suggest that it's been in an accident and been repaired (if the owner doesnt disclose that it might have been in a wreck). get underneath the car and check the suspension bushings, see what kinda shape they're in. check the frame rails for rust. if the car hasn't been cleaned, then keep that in mind, but, regardless, get in the car and check areas that aren't easily cleaned (under the rear seat, under the trunk carpet) to see what kinda shape the owner really keeps the car in. if it's got filthy areas, then they just cleaned it up to try and sell it. while you're sitting in it, row the gears, and make sure that it goes into all the gears easily, and that it doesn't bind or anything. beyond that, i can't think of much else right now.

Welcome! In a little bit your gonna get a whole bunch of douche bags giving you links to a Introduction thread. They won't be nice about It either.. Don't pay attention.. They will all think your on a drift band wagon. .Dont pay attention cause you could say the same to every single 240 owner on this website.. WELCOME!!!

Power Steering.

Clutch.
Check the struts and make sure their not blown.

Make sure these are in good working condition.
