i dunno, it turns on a really small radius when the wheel is turned all the way. i like how darty the car is (torquey and lightweight) and it handles pretty damn good too. i gotta either put a new starter on or get mine rebuilt though… oh yeah, the paint on the hood and hatch are my work (spray can gloss black + gloss clear). the stock paint on some areas looked pretty bad. ---

better get some good snow tires and a lot of weight in the back of that thing… that year of the 240 the rear end comes out quicker than any car I’ve ever driven, and that was just in the rain going through a intersection… ---

No usdm 240sx has ever came with an SR20det… nor a turbo. There are some older 200sx’s that came with a small turbine. Super Hicas is a 4-wheel steering option that was also available on the Nissan 300zx. Super Hicas 240sx’s also came with shorter gears and a limited slip diff. ---

I cant decide wether or not I want to do up another DSM or do a 240. What power potential does the stock KA have when turbo’d? ---

I heard its decent, but the reliability factor isnt there the reliability factor is always going to be there when you boost an engine that wasnt boosted from the factory! boosting a KA the right way is going to roughly cost you the same as a sr20 swap plus you get all the aftermarket with the sr check out [www.240sxforums.com](http://www.240sxforums.com) theres alot info on there! :hs: ---
