**240-kid** · 01-03-2010, 04:13 AM

Fine I'll put pics up just for you fonix...

OpenThrottle · 01-03-2010, 02:14 PM

damn sorry to hear about the hit and run, that sucks ass but im glad you are finally going to do what you really want to the car.

im subscribing, i know this will be a sweet build.

if i would have known that you will be getting a lightweight drive shaft i would have sold you mine drive shaft shop steel one for cheap but oh well cant do nothing about it now.

good luck on the build and take your time on it

**240-kid** · 01-03-2010, 02:17 PM

Yeah, but shit happens, it just sucks when it happens to you...

That would have been nice lol, but oh well

Also IDK about this being a sweet build lol. It'll be nice but nothing too fancy.
The real project starts after this one is finished...

It'll be a Sleeper N/A KA in Stage one, then a 350whp Turbo Sleeper in Stage 2. It'll be fun...

Thanks. and yeah, bet the guy either 1, didnt notice, or 2, called my car a ricer and drove off...

Did a rough estimate on my build cost: ~5500(+/- 100) Including shipping of products.
Not too bad IMO

**unreal-** · 01-04-2010, 02:58 AM

lookin good scoot

Let me know how you like your 240/248 swap, and if you had to do anything to get them in.

im going to try the HD V.2 lip. i tried the V1 lip using the edging, and that fell apart after two good scrapes, and didnt look good at all.

**240-kid** · 01-04-2010, 03:02 AM

Will do, I may also look into the Nistune Type-4 if they can have a decent turn around time and I can get a decent tuner...
But That'll Require an Innovative LC-1 on my part. Not a fan of the widebands on the Dyno @ the tailpipe, IDK why lol.

Oh and BTW, that chrome Door trim was taken off the day after the shoot, IDK why I didnt do it before lol

**fonix36** · 01-04-2010, 03:05 AM

thats right kid make me happy

**240-kid** · 01-04-2010, 03:07 AM

I try to make everyone happy

**unreal-** · 01-04-2010, 04:07 AM

thats what she said.

supra33202 · 01-04-2010, 12:45 PM

Looking forward to see your build. Be sure to take more pictures!

**unreal-** · 01-04-2010, 01:29 PM

Oh, and scoot, try using the Rustoluem 2000F engine enamel @ autozone. I used it on my intake pipe, and it came out very very matte, and my intake pipe is very cool to the touch even after extended driving. Only part that gets remotely warm is the part that goes next to the radiator fan. The rest of the pipe is cold. Uncoated, the entire pipe would be warm. I swear i felt a slight HP increase, but that could just be the weather.

**240-kid** · 01-04-2010, 11:34 PM

Your butt dyno agree's lol
