Well after a few moths and a couple dumb decisions i got another 240.
I bought a s13 hatch about 3 weeks ago, and im so excited about this thing its unreal.
My s14 was "totaled" when i ran a deer over blew all the air bags so R title in hand i sold it and decided i wanted a corvette, which may have been a bad decision, after driving the car for a month or so i realized just be cause its faster doesn't mean its moar fun.
So over the summer its going up for sale and with the cash from that i plan to get some sweet parts and have a sweet 240.
Sorry no pics yet i will get those up asap but its good to be back.

An uninteresting topic for an uninteresting thread.

Maybe he should use that money to give you lessons on how to properly troll.

I gotta tell ya given the option of a c5 vette and a s13 hatch. There is no question that I would take the vette. Even if the hatch had 10k worth of parts on it.

In all seriousness i thought same until i had it for a month or so. Then i just found myself missing the 240 so much. Its weird the c5 is a cool mid life crisis but im only 21 so maybe a few more yeas will change that.

Hey guys know its been covered more than enough times im sure but quick question on the lsx swaps.
Given all of sikkys developmentin this department how hard is it to swap an ls anymore?
they can do the harness they have the headers mounts ect so whats really left except drop in and plug in i mean as far as i can tell if you have the cash money dollars dough mullah its a relatively (and i use this word loosly) simple swap?

the transmission is too big so the floor has to be modified or widened for it to fit.... or so i heard. thats the only thing that sounds like an issue to me.

uhhhh, sometimes you have to kind of massage the trans tunnel with a poundometer to get the bellhousing to fit. But get a swap kit and such and there are TONS of resources online about how to do the swap. Its not uncharted territory anymore, so its not as hard to do as it was before.

Poundometer = precision adjustment tool. AKA: a really big hammer.

Don't forget the old British saying: "If at first you don't succeed; try a bigger hammer."
