[bersh240]

And yesir. If ur in the area stop by. You need to hear all my super cool compressor surge noises my car makes with that hard pipe. I scared some lady in a miata the other day. She was like "your car sounds like it was breaking when you shifted". Lol

[hbpignosePA]

looks great bersh!

im also impressed it looks so nice at your age


i wouldnt worry about paint; just rattle can it whatever color you want.

i mean, you can always get it painted down the road when you get everything else done.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

You're doing what I wish I could do, work on my car and not be afraid to mess something up, just keep at it Chris, you got my number text anytime you got a question, its not a big deal. And I'll try to help you out with your homework as well LOL, did I at least get that 3rd question right for ya?

What school do you go to?

[bersh240]

PA Cyber!!!!
ha. internet school ftw.
i had to drive to the lancaster host to take those tests.
that was fun. lots of business men witht ehre bmw's playing golf and i role up in a flat black loud as hell car.
which at that time had no interior. battery bouncing around in the back. shootin flames and idling like crap.
it was fun.

but are you that guy with the redish hatch that flys around and never waves back to me? JERK.

[truckmtr240]

I don't think I've ever seen you or your car. the only primer black hatch ive seen had bug eye lights

[bersh240]

well my cars always hidden at work...
you know where dude with the food is?
i always see him/you on that road.
i work at the bus place like RIGHT there.
im always jumpin around like an idiot waving at that red hatch cause ive never met the guy. ha

[truckmtr240]

Is that near willowstreet. I don't think ive driven by there in awhile.

[bersh240]

ya.. last time i saw him was like a week and a half ago mabey.
hmm...
the mystery local strikes again.

[White Comet]

my bro has a red hatch but i'm sure it wasnt him, i'm also sure it wasnt my red hatch either haha

[truckmtr240]

I just happened to be driving near that bus place and I told my friend to go in. I was suprised to see your car there lol it was like 10:30

[bersh240]

hahah i work nights man. usually there untill 1 in the morning, or later. stop in sometime if wer out sittin on lawn chairs or playin football.
yes. we get paid for that.

i put together an update.

engine bay is 99% finished.
koyo rad/new hoses
fmic/piping
intake hardpipe
SARD, fuel pressure regulator

Joe P. MBC. boost line tapped in right at the source.
fan wiring also redone thanks to MGE.

relay AND a fuse. thankyou sir, for showing teaching me a lil about that stuffs.

redtop battery/circuit breaker
cheapo strut bar.
(if you ever need a battery cage, contact ARTEC welding, super cool guys, solid cage.)
and... im kinda working on a side project some of the locals know about...

i noticed how all of a sudden a simple product vanished...
imo, said product was overflashy and overpriced.
lanc guys, ill pass around some of the first batch once its finished at the shop.

[bersh240]

stuffs happened!!!

remeber this bad boy i complaned about almost a year ago?

all new custom fab stainless.
tucked up higher than frame.



did other random stuff too.
current bay shot

andd...

[Magnum375 Jr.]

KEWWWWWLLLLLLL, I like alot. No dragging downpipe for you. Hell you could rally now and not worry about exhaust issues. Does it rumble the car a little more?

[bersh240]

goodbye spring/struts.

hello coilovers


saturday was install day.

thats the rear... maxed out
the bottom mount wont screw on anymore. i still have 4 inches clearance. contacted the coilover importer and hes looking into it.

fronts are good though

will go lower one i have wheels that fit.
i had to use some super sketchy spacers for pepboys wheels to clear.


now i dont wana hear anyone complaining that i should go lower now.
cause this is WITH the spacer.


its lower. almost low enough for my taste...

also put in new front swaybar bushings... that sucked.
much thanks to iheartmyrps13 or whatever your usernamer is, for teaching me how the coils work/help installing.

i wont post a shot of the entire car untill i have the height and clearance sorted out.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

It was fun helping out dude.

It motivated me to max my coils out again, hahaha.

[bersh240]

that is all.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Looks really good, dude!

[TheBlaiant]

Nice color!

[Didderson]

Aww yeah. Looks mad good Hopefully you got that front bumper fitted better after I left.

Do your tail lights still smell like mayo? lol

[bersh240]

we worked on the front bumper. its as good as its gona get on a 20 year old car with only zipties.

[truckmtr240]

ohhh s***! ill make the last picture my wallpaper!

[TheBlaiant]

That's just like my color and now I envy you for driving your 240 around. I wish mine was on the road again.

[RXEvan]

I can't believe we painted it so well in my barn! It's soooo sick now!

[RXEvan]

Aww yeah. Looks mad good Hopefully you got that front bumper fitted better after I left.

Do your tail lights still smell like mayo? lol

I didn't smell any mayo when we refitted the bumper so we are good to go, hahaha.

[bersh240]

[TheBlaiant]
