"I drive my track car on the street" BUILD

[LaMaR-]

For the price I paid for the car I couldn't pass it up. Lets just say it was under a grand lol

[244Brick]

I <3 how so much ish was talked about the sr and the next update is an sr swap !!! That's great bud.. I would love to see a different swap, but these motors are still bauss!!! I can't wait!

[LaMaR-]

Thanks guys, I can't wait to get it swapped out either

[RolledAndPulledG]

looks fun. Not bad enough to be embarrassed driving around, but not too nice to stop you from driving hard. In for more :3

[Patryk]

Can't wait to see this in and see some sliding around

[LaMaR-]

Well the headgasket blew in the KA and its been sitting for a few weeks but I picked my self up a killer Black friday deal...

SR20DET swap


We are pulling the ka and cleaning my bay this week and then saturday we should be pulling the sr and putting it in my hatch... December 15th is my first legitimate drift event so I will have some sideways photos/videos then

I think your thinking about the title too much, its just that a title. Everyone has there oppinions and I agree every other 240 looks very similar.
Currently it isnt a track car and no I wouldnt call it street drifting but a clutch kick here and there is deff fun and I do enjoy it..

Good point. I am used to seeing already built cars here transform into something even better.

Have you removed the timing chain guide from the KA yet?

Oh yeah, if you want to set yourself apart, look into the chuki DRL/fogs. Only seen one chuki with them ever. Same with the JDM chuki sides, no one seems to have them.

Sorry, wasn't feeling too good last night and felt like ****** on everyone.

Well I like the transformation it has made so far and rice4life is talking about so many 240's looking the same, thats what happens with popularity, something a hyundai elantra isn't.

It's cool though not really my place to say anything at all but I like to bust chops anyway and I tend to stick up for people who are being ***** on when the shit talking starts.

Thanks

Good progress, I'm lookin forward to seeing where you take it.

I'd say you should go with a RB20 though. Cheap, rev happy, original, and its bulletproof. As well as paving the way for an RB25 or RB26 swap.

If I were to go with any 2.0 motor it would be the SR because of the weight difference and part availability. RB25 would be my first choice of a RB though

wheres the track car ?

Itll show up in a few months as the build progresses, Thanks for the input

For what it's worth to you, a very close friend of mine has a KA-T S14. Last year he made 300whp and 305lbs-ft of torque on a stock bottom end.

SR's are for quitters.



If you're going to spend the money an an RB20, you might as well spend a few extra dollars and do an RB26. No sense in half-assing a swap.

100% agree with the 20 not being worth it. The reason I want to go SR over KA is just the simple fact that ive never built a motor and would **** to throw a couple grand at something and just blow it up. But we shall see what happens.

I disagree with it being half assed, especially when the price jump between an RB20 and a RB26 is 2000 - 2500 dollars.

But either way RB > SR.

Only thing a RB20 has over a SR20 is a exhaust tone..

240's suck
get a ford

Duder....why arnt you finishing up yours yet? Why no updates?

I havnt made my mind up yet about the motor. Ive changed my mind once a week about it lol. I started out with wanted a RB for the cool factor. Then I changed my mind because of the lack of parts that are readily available incase of a part failure. Then I started looking at SR20's and KA-T's. That is currently whats in my head. But I did just see a S13 with a 1j in it and that sounded amazing lol.

I really could get by with a SR or KA though my goal for now is only around 300hp

Good choice of car. Those wheels as I've already told you suit the car very well, I don't think you should swap them for a different set anytime soon. Anyway, I'm subscribed!

Thanks, like I said there is alot to come still. It will probably be slow for awhile but its alright.

looks like a load of fun man

Thanks

I've always wanted a 240 but never wanted to risk buying a beat up POS :P And the clean automatic ones are $7k+

I bought this one for 1400 bucks, given it ran like poo. But the body is fairly straight, its got a few small dents and dings and some scratches but thats easy to fix.

What motor are you runnin' in it? I like this so far, in for some sliding photos too.

November 3rd will be the first event hopefully. It all depends on work since im in the military. Also currently its just a KA24DE. I havnt made my mind up if I want to go the common route of the SR20 or build a Spare KA into a KA-T. Only time will tell

Sorry, not my cup of tea, too many ones like this on the road. I do like that corner glass though.

How is it a track car?

Do you feel cool for street drifting?

Also as Mr Von Smack said, it is a build, I didnt go buy a fully built track car because that would be dumb. Ive never drifted before its a cheap car to learn and it will do its job. I can add more power or other parts as I see needed to help me along the way. The plan is a fully built track only car in the end though

Well, considering it's a "build thread", why would you expect to see a car already converted into a track car? Eventually it will evolve to fulfill its purpose, hence the thread being in the builds section.

Thanks

I'm not sure if you meant to say the car is a "track car" now, but it has loads of potential. What are your plans for the drivetrain? Those KA's are pretty stout motors.
