i have some pics from the engine biuld/ swap/ and front end swap/ and some interiors lol.... ill get them up here eventually

its still a huge work in prgress, and i am in no way impressed with it yet but i guess thats how any enthusiast will be until there car is perfect.

if i could have a 240 fresh off that assembly line, id be happy... but until my car is that clean, i wont be.

i dont have an exact number.. but between 3 and 4 thousand... i figure that pretty good, cuz just about everything on my car is new and under warranty.

Awesome deal on a very clean 240! I'd like to see some pictures of it! How is the FRsport brake kit? Is it the Q45 front kit, or just the all new brembo rotor and track/race pads etc.? I've heard the brembo rotors get rusty quick, tell me how they hold up!Be careful turbo'ing it since it's in such good shape!

ya i just have the brake upgrade kit, with rotors and pads and braided lines... i like it alot, stopping power is great. my only complaint is the HAWK pads are very loud. and with the brembo rotors, its actually quite the opposite. ive been thorugh a few rainy days, and a snow and stuff, and they are still all shiny clean.

thanks for the compliments lol but the car wasnt too clean at all when i got it.. and still really isnt in my mind but its still a project so its being worked on.. one of these days ill upload and get all my pics on here

Forget about turboing it until you upgrade the suspension. There is no use in going fast if you can't handle A full set of KYB AGX shocks, Eibach pro-kit springs, and a full polyurethane bushing kit all together costs less than $1000 and will make your 240 handle so amazingly well that you will notice the slightest body roll in any other car you are riding in.
