It has been very well taken care of for the past 17 years. Hell, I went with her when she picked it up from the dealership in 89.

Anyone got any ideas of where to start? What can I do to this KAE as far as mods until I got the cash to drop on a KADE. I'm probably gonna get flamed for this next question, but here goes: What the hell is a POP charger?

Anyway for starters, I'm thinkin catback exhaust. What kind of intakes are available for the KAE?

Just some questions to reaffirm my AF newbie status!

Lol, well i got flamed for tring to start a conversation about an AWD 240, so expect it from forums man... lol, For right now if you completley stock, take out the air box, drill about 50 quarter inch holes in the bottom and sides of it and drop in a k&n filter. Unless your going cold air with the SOHC your not going to get much more H/P with a short ram from what i have experianced with. If you have to money for an exhaust, go with a decent brand name. I hear people all the time saying just get your own exhaust piped - It's the same... But its not at all the same. I've heard and seen apexi exhaust products on SOHC motors and they do wonders, also lavender exhausts are pretty damn nice too if you can find one. Grab you some headers and a down pipe, high flow cat and then the catback. I think you'll be pretty happy for a while untill the DOHC...
