Well heres the new update: Shes alive, Runs like a beast should run and lights up those stock tires all the way into 3rd. I love the way RWD feels! I use to drive a FWD Turbo CRX and this thing just gets sideways and once I let off, that BOV goes nuts and the car straightens out like no other. I've only got to drive the car from Columbus to Detroit so I don't know how a 240 should really feel but this thing its just unreal.

Sorry if you can't see the pics I am using a gay web host... Email me if you know where I can get some webspace for free with not too many restrictions lol. I'll have more pics up soon I was just driving by the shop and decided you guys should have an update so I cleaned it really quick and took some snap shots. I still need to clean it up and all and get all of the wax out of the edges and bolt a couple of things up, its not really done yet. I am shooting for next weekend. More to come on Update 4.

Okay I'll shuttup, here are pics - Enjoy!

No crazy body kit, no gawdy spoiler. Just a FMIC, Sneaky me....

Fresh paint, Just did it myself last week. Just painted to top black this weekend. I love that black on red on a 240 just makes it look absolutely beautiful. I still have to completely rub out the car again because I forgot to use the heavy cut cleaner to really bring out the shine. I just used regular polish and it still has a haze to it.

Oh yeah here are my new drag wheels. Weld Prostars 15x8. Going to be running 275/50R15 Tires. Either BFG drag radials or Nitto nt555R Drag radials. I need life though though so it may be nittos.

Lookin good, I couldnt agree more on the Red/Black thing, its awesome.

BTW, theres a ton of places with free hosting, I use photobucket (www.photobucket.com) but I dunno if they r still giving accounts away.

Edit: Just noticed your fuce box by the battery was missing, did you relocate it or something?

Car and swap looks very good and sounds like it's a blast to drive.

For pic hosting, you could always use this website to host them.

Yep, looks good. Put the pics up on NICO... you already have an account and that way this post will link to your pics as long as NICO lasts (unless you remove the pics).

Thanks guys! I'm glad everyone likes it so far. I'll be having more pics later this week and part 4 will have a startup and driving vid.

DET, I got the wheels from Belle Tire and they tried to screw me for 200 bux a pop for them. I got pissed and their policy is we'll match any price or its free. So I bitched and after the 3rd time I got them down to 159 a wheel because summit has them for that. It also took them 3 weeks to get them too when summit would have had it here next day for free no tax. oh well...

The Fuse box is in there but I forgot how the damn bracket goes back on, I might even have the wrong one. I gota figure that out and I think I lost the damn cover.

Chad, I'm not in D town I'm actually in Walled Lake right next to you lol. I go into Novi alot, you might know Alfredo and Angelo Meyers. Angelo just got an S14 and hes been asking for some help. I'd love to give you a ride anytime. I'm at my shop on E Walled Lake Dr. and pontiac trail/Liberty. Right across the street from bike town and The boat house. Its the same building as the new coffee shop we're just in the back. I'm around town all the time hit me up sometime - 248-895-9926.

Thanks guys more soon!-Alex
