[breadbox]

[astarkell]

verry clean car!!! i love it!! makes me want to buy a 240 even more!!!! keep the good work commin!!!!!!!

[badbob2121]

got a few of my new goodies in today







still thinking of how im gonna make the gauge rings work, it would help if the damn vent pod would come in....

my shifter comes in next tuesday, im putting that in the day i get it and the gauges hopefully next weekend

[badbob2121]

so i got my ISIS v2 short throw today

install was a breeze, i felt like i had already done it before, thanks to the write up/video posted by Krash...thanks again

so heres the new shifter


and out goes the old...



and i forgot to take a pic of it in...but theres really not much to look at



so after install im very impressed. it greatly reduced the throw and i really like the feel of it. very solid feeling. a great bang for the buck imo

so i should have the gauges in by this saturday, and im not sure if im gonna be able to use the gauge rings i bought, but well see...

[badbob2121]

well the gauges are in thanks to my buddy Juan (http://www.bardabe.com)

turned out awesome and i couldnt be happier







also i have the walbro in now, and made a major difference actually... i couldnt be happier!!

[BAGLEY]

The gauges look amazing!!

[S13AL]

Good work. You should take some night pics of the gauges for us.

[J14cm7]

Nice work gauges look awesome. This thread has some good ideas in it.

[S13n310]

Awesome build dude keep it up... not too much of a sil80 fan but this is nicely done....

[badbob2121]

The gauges look amazing!!

thanks man, give me a call sometime, we still gotta chill sometime


and thanks everyone for the positive comments, i am really loving the way the gauges turned out

[badbob2121]

its been a while since ive posted an update...

nothing new really, the cars been running perfect so i have just been enjoying it

im about to make a few new purchases soon though, as it is tax return season

a few quick pics i took...







more to come soon

[truckmtr240]

bay needs paint, new wheels maybe, steering wheel, grill. for tax return purchases.

[badbob2121]

bay needs paint, new wheels maybe, steering wheel, grill. for tax return purchases.

bay paint - i completely agree, but thats not really practical till i really need to pull the motor

new wheels - yes, but i think they look fine now and the name brand doesnt bother me

steering wheel - thats actually one of my ideas...

grille - maybe, but im still not sure if i like the aftermarket grilles, i go back and forth

thanks for the recomendations though

[maj Andres]

well i got a modified exhaust ticket today, and what made me so p*ssed about it was that it was from PMO ( military police)

i understand if i was makeing a scene and doing something stupid, but i was simply driving on my happy way and he pulled me, and when i reasoned that a warning would be fair since i wasnt driving stupid, he threatened to have a scene investigator come do a full inspection on my 240.... what a buddy f**ker....

but its onlya fix it ticket and my buddy has a stock exhaust that im gonna slap on to get inpected.....

then throw the straights right back on

Lol. I never had this problem with my BRM on my S14...I lived on pendleton for close to 3 years! Where do you work at?

[badbob2121]

Lol. I never had this problem with my BRM on my S14...I lived on pendleton for close to 3 years! Where do you work at?

i work up in camp horno (53 area) and live down in housing by the maingate

pmo has been getting really stiff on "illegal modifications" lately, like window tint and tail light covers.... and obviously exhausts

i just drive certain roads when i drive on and off base and never drive my car on bases unless i absolutely have to...

the worst part is im not even registered in CA...

[badbob2121]

well im still waiting for my tax return to deposit...

but i found a good deal on the Megan Racing brake master cylinder heat sheild



and installed




fitment wasnt perfect (mainly due to the strut bar) but with some bending i was able to fit it in...

more to come soon

[badbob2121]

Tax returns are in...


i determined these to be the smartest buys for the money...

nismo motor/transmission mounts


Chase Bays Pressure hose (i rencetly developed a leak in my oem hose)




pbm skid plate


and im thinking about a nistune board also

and maybe a few other small things

now the hunt for the ups truck begins....

[scooz14]

man your car is sick!! how do you like the hlsd? did it require new shims? do you get an on power clunk?

[badbob2121]

well i finally got around to swapping out the motor mounts and the power steering pressure hose





the motor mounts are great, it really made me realize how much the oem mounts flex... i am very satisfied with the final result....even though the install was a pain in the a**...

the chase bays hose is top notch quality, very simple and a great solution to any leaking pressure hoses.. you can beat 65 shipped

the old pressure hose and mounts (straight to the trash can)


i also picked up a cheap set of mirrors off ebay... i hated my old mirrors, so these arent bad




my pbm skid plate came in too... i love goooooolllldddd
pretty baller imo


ill have pics of it installed in the next week or so

[S13AL]

Those mirrors... what was wrong with the oem ones?

[badbob2121]

Those mirrors... what was wrong with the oem ones?

previous owner had bought power folding mirrors, but never wired them...

and adjusting them by had was no good, they only went to a certain angle and i couldnt see out of them

so i got these as a replacement... i think they look good actually

[badbob2121]

Well my Apexi power intake came in... finally



and i also bolted on the Powered by Max skid plate





im also getting a Nistune type 3 board soon

and looking into possibly getting rid of the T25...well see

[cjmirabal1]

If u get rid of the t25 let me know :-)

[badbob2121]

If u get rid of the t25 let me know :-)

well looks like this will be happening ^^

still deciding on the exact turbo, depends on what i can find for the right price

im looking in to the TD05 18g

but i already ordered my n62 MAF (Z33 MAF)

and going with the isis turbo lines

and 550cc side feeds...

[badbob2121]

well thanks to Josh at importimageracing.com

i just ordered deatschwerks 550cc side feeds and my isis turbo lines for dirt cheap...

ill probably pick and order the turbo this weekend.... seriously thinking the td05 18g...hmmmm

[sandcrabsailor]

Totally digging the skid plate, duebro.
I'm in WA now. Check in tomorrow, then out to sea.

[badbob2121]

Ok heres the offical build list

-GT2871R
-Deatschwerks 740cc side feeds
-Isis steel braided turbo lines
-Cosworth 1.5mm 87mm head gasket
-ARP head studs
-N62 MAF
-Nistune boarda and dyno tune

its a little more than i wanted to spend, but it will be worth it..

shooting for 325-350 rwhp

[240life]

That set-up will work very well for those numbers. Im running a very similar set up and I love it. Good luck.
