Nice man. looks good. pretty nice to see this thread actually cause I have a 93 240 coupe im rebuilding. I also chose the satin black route. Its a bomb *** color. Went nismo LSD Nismo/S-tune suspension an all that jazz. Working on stratning out my passenger side headlight position though. the guy i picked the car up off ran something over and it pushed up through the well and made that front headlight brace all cockeyed lol. At any rate looks pretty dope man good luck with future add'ons

absolutely. larger, heatsunk casing (aluminum), and from what research gathers, a higher current flow/quicker transition in spark signals. and wiring is mad easy...

This is a really cool pic, it's just too bad the background is so busy. When the time comes, you should find a nice spot and mimic this angle. Would make for a nasty photo.

yeah a photoshoot is def in order... i just took a promotion at work recently tho, so despite my pay nearly tripling... my hours are doubling... so not so much time for such things... and lately ive been helping some local guys work on their cars as a return of favors for helping me with mine all winter.

whats weird is that i was JUST looking at that pic... and i wasnt the biggest fan... but i think youre right... its just the bg of it looking weird... thats my driveway with my neighbors and their pedo-vans.... it probably smells like rape and tears in there...

Lancaster county; Amish people; they don't believe in cars. It's called a horse and buggy.
