thanks! i founded a random bolt that works but this weekend im do the heli kit thing to be make sure, appreciate it, im starting to like this stanza, if i didnt have the 240sx ill probaly start building that cause i havent seen nothing or nobody doing anything to them, it'll be cool to pull up in a turbo/supercharged/carbed/ITB's on a ka24e stanza lol, i like the ka24e its simple and available, im blabbling off again lol anyway thanks
