I should be picking up my new 180SX on Sunday or early next week. I've already been collecting items for it:

Greddy front mount IC kitGreddy TD06 17C 6cm turbo kit with manifold and ext. wastegate. I read somewhere I may have trouble getting it to fit (clear the steering shaft).

The stuff is coming from Japan and I don't feel like spending a ton on shipping so it will probably be 2 months before it gets here :-(

Nismo1182 just hooked me up with the missing A/C compressor, power steering pump and necessary brackets. I know its extra weight, but man it gets hot here in TX.

I guess in the meantime I'll get the car running on the stock turbo and intercooler, hopefully with A/C and power steering.

I knew i recognized that name. I've got your website in my "toyota favorites". Good stuff...hope you enjoy your new toy.

Forgot you guys were in Texas, hope that you make the 240sx national convention in march since it'll be in Dallas. I'll have to come see the shop (as long as i get my car done in time that is)

O I see Sean...Trade me for the A/C compressor then you sell it to him. heh.

I am in Texas, and I really don't mind the no A/C thing. I take it you are up in Dallas or the Metroplex? What is your addy. I wanna come up there before school starts and check out your facility. It will be nice to have a CA savvy shop so close to me!! YAY!! I will need someone to tune my Power FC when I get it...

I think some of you fools need to move to Kansas for a few years. We get 100 degree plus temperature fluxuations in a 6 month period. (EX: Low in January/February = 0-, High in June/July = 100+)

I like 100+

I don't like the winter, except for the peace and quiet it brings with it.
