240s suck. Why do u think they stopped making them? they are RWD so u'll hit something if u accednetly turn too fast on a corner.

get a Civic and drop in a powerful H22A in there. Apparently most people like to spend more money on a weaker engine (B18c1). H22 swap isn't nearly as common as a B18 swap so it'll be pretty tight if u have an H22 in urs. Its just as reliable if its done right.
