found new 240 to replace crashed one

[clean]

so i found a 93 coupe for $1000. went and looked at it and the exterior is good, but the interior is crap. its green/tan and the tan interior is so bad, dash cracked in a million spots, stains everywhere, just bad. how hard would it be t tak the interior and dash from my crashed coupe and put it in the new one? how bout converting the manual windows to power since my crashed ones are power? also how do i know if its got an lsd w/o looking? thanks

oh and does anyone have a green s13? or pics of them, its real different, never seen one. thanks

VERY easy swap. takes a few hours but it all fits a-ok

converting to electric windows is mroe work electrical and all.

jack up rear of car, leave car in neutral (dont forget to leave parking brake off too). turn wheel, if other turns other way: open diff

only GUARANTEE: Hicas Fastback, otherwise, do this test.

Supposedly there are more CN cars with the VLSD than there are US cars with it. Just because the car is Canadian, does NOT mean it has VLSD.

too bad they don't... just like altima cams don't really improve performance in our motors.

The dashboard swap isn't that hard. You'll have to take out the speedo cluster, glove box, and shifter console/radio plastic. The glove box light will have to be unplugged and the AC vents on the sides disconnected. The hardest part about the swap is getting the steering wheel pushed down far enough to get the old dash out and the new one in. I did mine by myself, but would recommend 2 people just for the extra hands. Also...while you have the speedo cluster out, its a good time to take the clear plastic cover off the cluster and vacuum out the dust and clean it up. Also, get some plastic polish and buff out any Armor All "milky" stains that are on there....or install a white face gauge kit. Once the old dash is out.....remove all AC vents carefully as you can re-use these on the newer dashboard if necessary. With mine...just for the heck of it....I used tin-snips and cut out the middle AC vent housing from my old dashboard to use as a fiberglass mold for a 3 gauge cluster to fit in that opening (boost gauge, oil pressure, oil temp....or whatever) when I get around to turboing my car....as an alternative to the "steal me" pillar gauge mounts.


For switching TO power windows.....

Thats the way to go. Otherwise you'll need a bunch of OEM relays and different internal guts to the window.


Good luck!!

the only reason for power windows was because i wanted to use the old door panels from my crashed 240 and not have to buy used manual ones somewhere. i havent even bought it yet, 2 people are looking at it today and im working all day and he said if i brought him the $$ it was mine, but seeing as i cant get there? anyway sweet thanks. so really has anyone ever seen a dark *** green coupe before? i havent
