Isn't it called the 240 because the engine was 240 centiliters?

Is it supposed to have a V8?

Yahh. They are called 240's because they have 2.4L 4 cylinder engines. Mine has a 4.5L v8 from an infinite q45 that I swapped in. I call it the 450sxtreme. Sorry for the off topic haha.

Right! Off-topic!

Do you mind creating a new thread and telling us more about your car?

[Jakins]

Yah, as long as I don't get kicked off the forum after haha

It takes practice to get a feel for the proper time to kill it.

Good point about wind drag and mph. Nice work on your car. Do you have an undertray?

To the driver of this aero modded civic - did you at one point have a picture of "Fries" from Aqua Teen Hunger Force on your kammback? I saw a Civic going down Mopac a few years ago with that. The kammback looks different though.
When I saw that, I was with my wife, and I was totally thrilled to see an ecomodded car in real life.

You mean "Frylock"?

Yes, Frylock. I had forgotten, and the internet search failed me (said "Fries")
