Default Matured kid from Philly, I was here before LOL

Hey guys, I came on here on another account like 3-4 years ago. I didnt have my own car then so I was trying to mod my moms Honda.

Anyway she has a 2006 Honda accord VP sedan 4 cylinder auto, has like 50,004 miles on it. Back then I wanted to put a CAI on it etc, but I didn't because I thought it was dumb to spend $200 on like a Fujita or K&N CAI to get like 4 hp in something thats more of a reliable grocery getter, no offense to anyone here.

It's 100% stock and nothing special to look at.

I bought a 1996 Nissan 240sx. That too, is stock save for a new radio headunit and new speakers. Sadly that came auto too D:
As of right now I have a crap load of parts and almost have everything to make my 240 a 5 speed. That too is nothing special to look at, its Emerald green and all I have done to it so far is fix the problems from the previous owner, maintenance, and window tint, 15% in the back 30% on the doors.

I have enough parts to get another 240 shell and drop in my excess parts. I am currently on the hunt for an s13 shell.
Do you really need to see pictures?

So anyway, I'm just saying Hi, I will be creeping around the maintenance section and I hope to learn a thing or 2 here.

So Hi

Welcome. I wouldn't mind seeing a 240sx, as I have always had a interest in them. Was real close to buying one once but it wasn't meant to be.

I assume you'll be swapping the KA(Isn't that what the stock motor is called?) for a SR20 when you do the auto to manual swap

If i can sell the motors i have now i will probably go sr20 or just save up for a rb25 (skyline motor).

But the 5 speed right now i will stay with the stock ka24de, or i might sell the parts i have to fund a huge swap
