before the extension, i felt no difference with stock intake box and the short ram. but after that 45 degree extension, it actually improved throttle response.

and yea.. gotta do something with those red grounding wires. its really hard to conceal them especially being so red.

----------------------------------------

not for the 240sx but for my other ride..

Invidia Gemini True Dual Catback
Brand new. Only $800 shipped. Compared to my Tanabe ConceptG for the 240 ($500), this was a bargain.

how much did the Raammat cut down on road noise and stuff? do you think it's really worth it to get?

i used a full roll and it cut down lots of road noises. also resonating floor panel due to catback exhaust was reduced to minimal too. overall well worth the $120.

Was thinking to trade 240 for something more practical that doesn't attract cops but decided to keep it little longer.

So... I bought some new parts

Peak Performance poly subframe collars

Image

Megan Racing rear suspension arms
- ruca
- toe
- traction

Image


Also dyed gray carpet and seats with SEM's Flexible Coating (Satin Black) for plastic panels and fabrics and peeled off the door panel fabrics. Now my interior is full black except the gray roof panel.

After 4 months of wait because of some ordering issue, finally received my xenon lip!
Front end looks so much better with the lip.

When you put the Raamat on your floor panel did you take up the factory sound deadening or just Raamat over it?

wow. Your car is amazing. Those side skirts with that lip are the perfect body kit for a 240sx. That and lowered on coilovers with nice wheels is all a 240 needs along with tinted windows... I think I just described your car. Seriously that thing is perfect.

But seriously dude why is it still an auto?? I can't stand nissan 3 speed automatics... even for an auto they're terrible.

some sections are scraped and some are just layered on top. it killed lots of resonance coming from the exhaust plus some road noise.

almost all of the mods on the list were done this year. simply too much money spent in a year. gonna wait till stock ka dies out and do a full engine/transmission swap

I had a set of Catz XLO fogs that's been sitting in the garage for about 4 years, so I decided to put them to use on the 240.

Sorry for the crappy iphone pics..
