There are usually a good amount of 240s in the yards here in Phx as well as auto parts stores that stock parts for them when things inevitably break. There are a few challenges with doing the conversion, but availability and price isnt really a problem. I do agree that a supercharged b20 would be the shit though!
I dig your 142 btw

Coils have been difficult to find for these when trying to go beyond the 2-3" mark. I would end up cutting coils again basically. It would certainly be better than cutting stock coils, but I'm looking into some options. Some random spring with the right specs would do the trick.

Originally posted by Keith602 View PostI've seen that too. Some of the guys running those Honda coil over kits have said the fronts rub on the shocks. Not to mention its a very stiff ride. It would be nice to have some travel, there is certainly room for it. Some people have tried Blue Coil springs. I'll figure something out, just need to invest the time.

So I was still bothered by how bad the instrument panel looked. Faded, chipping, indicator symbols were worn off, etc. I happened to have gotten a better looking one recently and felt like it was time to get into it. I painted part of it black because the grey wasnt doing it for me. I wish I could have stripped only the grey off as there was this cool brass looking finish underneath. It made a huge difference in that area and while it felt like a huge pain in the ass, it didnt really take that long.
