Hey, is that AE86 owned by that guy who works at turn 10 and did forza?
That guy didn't do anything with forza. He just made some videos and they liked him, So now hes part of the crap-tastic turn 10 team. Forza 2 sucks and so does turn 10.

As for the OP, Paint the brakes and please tell me the neons are in the trash.

Well, a late update. I dont have any decent pictures as of recently, but I've done some work over the winter and it's looking a lot nicer. I didnt do any more engine stuff than before as I'm waiting so I can get all my parts and do a full build, but the body wll be done in a few weeks.

It looked like this in late august

Since then I got a box from Megan Racing, some Work parts, an old Bride part, recived a box from buddy club, a few tires, We swapped it to 5 speed, a few used navan parts, a box from RCI, some calipers, and just this week I picked up a couple of boxes that came from Extreme Dimensions. Still waiting on some brake parts and a shift knob for now.

I'll post pics when I get the car back from the bodyshop. here's a teaser from a few weeks ago.

EDIT: I also ditched a few decals, and the underglow.

I have nothing now, I'm looking for something good. I had a keychain skeleton, but the car was on the hoist at work, someone came by and tugged on it and he broke.

No, the first set of pics has the tien/agx combo. I hated that combo. The second set of pics (like 2nd last picture so far), had agx/intrax. The last picture with the new wheels is on coilovers.

And the underglow is half taken off, I started it and had to take it to the bodyshop before I tore it all off. As far as a stereo I dont know what I want yet. I like having a stereo, but I dont like the subs taking up the trunk how they do.

Whoo, Update time^ Beside my Dad's mustang and a friend of the family's Corvette. That was sunday. A good day too, my dad took home 1st for best 1965-1970 Modified, the Corvette took home 1st for best 1981-1990, and I took home 2nd for best Tuner.

Over the winter I put in, Bride seat, Megan Coilovers, Work Eurolines, Quick release steering wheel, LED interior light, reverse lights and license plate lights, Extreme Dimensions bodykit, Navan rear valences, Nismo "Dildo" shift knob, and just last weekend I put on my J30 front brakes. Thats all I can remember for now.I now have this to work with,If anyone has an SR bellhousing for a 5 speed, let me know

Yeah, I find the wheels are a love/hate thing with most people. They figure heavy wheels dont belong on a sporty looking car. They filled the wheel wells out, they looked nice, had a nice lip, and the price was right (as far as works go) so I picked them up.

The car is going back to the bodyshop that put the bodykit on because my headlight doesnt line up at all and it did before, and there is a nice long door ding that was never there before. I called them up and they told me to bring it in. The first time they worked on my car, they didnt finish sanding my rear quarter properly, so they had to fix that for free because of thier laziness, and now it's going back again. I have talked to other people who have had the same (door ding) issues with this place. I wont be sending anything back here.

I've seen those wheels on a few dubs, and I'm surprised to see them on a 240. Very good choice...very good choice.

Lovin' the new look. It's good to finally see the vision you had for the car.

I have an sr bellhousing actually, but near the passenger side steering rack where it bolts up to the engine, a chip occured because of my accident last august, so one bolt might not bolt up to the back of the engine properly.

Email me if you're interested and we'll go from there.
