The cars looking good man! So when are you going to start building the sr and are you going to swap the KAT for the sr when you get it done?

[Ender_Zero]

MOOOO.

Haha keep us updated man

[Future_gohan]

I like it! it makes my car stand out. hha

[Future_gohan]

And yeah, I'll be swaping the ka-t for the sr20 when its finished sometime next year. I don't plan on building it any time soon, right now I gotta dump some money into my 300zx, i need cats, struts all around and some new front tires for it..till then i'm trying to buy some little things for my 240sx..and getting it ready for the trrackk.

[Didderson]

Looking good man. Too many audio stickers and I'd watch my back if I were you for a broken window and sheit.

Dunno where macdonald PA is but maybe this summer I'll see ya somewhere.

[Future_gohan]

lol the owner before me put some stickers on for himself..I haven't taken them off yet, Idunno how, and I don't want to scratch the window or door. so they're staying on for now. lol and i'm south west Pittsburgh..

[stylepointzz]

razor blade and laquer thinner for the stickers

[Future_gohan]

I don't wanna scratch the window up really bad tho. lol

[Didderson]

Yes just use the razor blade like you would shave yourself . Cutting at the window probably still won't hurt it but I wouldn't reccomend it!

Honestly man if you use it like how a barber would w/ a flat razor it wont leave a scratch. It'll most likely take overspray and other things off as well.

[Future_gohan]

yeah, I guess i might try it..

but anyway, wow people are posting up about my car..what a shocker. thought nobody liked it haha

[Future_gohan]

as for an update..i destroyed another tire.

I can't help it. :[

I need to get to the track really bad, but i'm so broke and I still need a battery box. augh.

[Idahos13]

Is that you oil line coming across the top of your engine? And Is there anything new man?

[Future_gohan]

Hmm..updates.

Well my oil lines started leaking near the oil filter. took like 5 hours to get it fixed...but now the oil lines are ran better and such. yay. :]

I put in a passenger side S14 seat and I now have a battery box.

Also have an apexi safcII still needing hooked up.

My car is now breaking up around 5k-6.5k rpms but once its at 7+ its fine..

I'm going to check the spark plugs again if they're fouled I'm going to get my safcII running lol

Last night we were racing my car around my area for like 3+ hours with no cops. woo.

This is what happened. lol

[Future_gohan]

So I'm thinking about putting a piggy bumper on with a piggy lip... I like the none bumper look but people keep telling me i should just put one on for the hell of it. so i'm debating what it would look like..my old bumper is destroyed so i cant use it.. :[

[Idahos13]

What size and kind of rims are your back wheels? Why not go chuki?

[Future_gohan]

Well the transmission went in my 300zx, so I put insurance and such on the 240sx, inspection comes tuesday. I've been driving around in it for a few days wow is it fun to drive. and fast. lol Drifting next weekend so i'll be taking the 240 up there :]

[Future_gohan]

Heres some pictures recently. The frame on my car is 3 3/4 in from the ground the front lip is only like 2in from the ground lol

[Idahos13]

I want better pics lol and you never answered my question about the rear rims in that one pic.

[Future_gohan]

They're 17" rims. And i'll have better ones this weekend. :]

[Idahos13]

How is your car lower than mine... not fair

[Future_gohan]

so last week I hit a pot hole and i don't have intercooler brackets on the bottom of the fmic. so it hit off the ground and cracked a lot..and broke some of it off and into the engine. The intercooler pieces went into the engine, broke one spark plug, bent 2 others and went out the exhaust.

I put new spark plugs in, and now it has blue smoke.

Well i found out the turbo went on me. So I went and picked up a gt2871r and decided to install it with a boost controller.

I'm currently running 15psi on my ka24det with it. I personally think its a great turbo, pulls really hard, and starts spooling around 1900rpm. Now its wicked fast. ..and I just got a speeding ticket today. ha thats all fokes.

Flashlight drags beaver run oct 10th. :]

[StylesCD]

yeah when you slam your car that far down you gotta be careful with bump. Hell i bottom out my DD sometimes and that sucker has enough clearance for me to get under without lifting the car.

[Future_gohan]

yeah, with my lip i can't get up hills and such without sweeping the road. I can't drive over road kill or anything..it sucks. haa

[Future_gohan]

My plans for this winter are mostly aesthetic. In one of DSports older issues I remember a quote "There's a point where a car looks to good to be stock, and there's a point where a car can run to good to look stock. "

Well I'm not done with the engine, but I am mostly done.

Engine wise i'm building the bottom and top end, .20 over pistons eagle rods balanced crank, head wise, getting everything re done 264 cams etc.

Other then that I'm moving up to a 3in intercooler piping and a custom plenum intake manifold.

Body wise, I'll finally purchase coilovers, I'm going to do a whole ISIS suspension except my already installed battle version tension rods.

I'm going to move up to 5lug and use my staggered axis rims off my 300zx on it. (18x8.5 15 offset 18x9.5 7 offset )

I'm putting an S13 silvia front end on it, paint job, cage, i'm doing the rest of the goodies this year, and done right. So stay tuned. :]

[Future_gohan]

heres some recent pictures of the car.

[HoosierSX]

how did you get your bumper to fit so nicely around your intercooler, or do you use the bumper support and foam?

[Future_gohan]

how did you get your bumper to fit so nicely around your intercooler, or do you use the bumper support and foam?

I'm not using the support or the foam. Its the bare bumper cover. I cut the inside of the bumper out. It wasn't to hard with a razor blade.
