[Daunttless]

you should try searching. enjoy your day.

[mat240]

well to your smart *** i did so if you don't want to say anything into what i wrote whic was a lot how about you do somthing else

[Cyberkreig]

You just told off the owner of AfterDark Tuning. One of the most knowledgeable and willing-to-help people on this board.

i was wondering what am i going to run in to that i will need to buy

Your an absolute liar if you say you searched for anything. instead of asking "what do i need to swap" go to http://www.srswap.com and read the FAQ.

am also going to get exidy racing cluch or should i stay with their street racing cluch that i aready put in it

If you had done any reading, You would know that KA and SR clutches are not interchangeable... in this same forum there is a discussion of SPEC vs. Exidy clutches. Read It.

also who makes the best intercooler i am thinking of the hks front mount

We had a lengthy intercooler discussion last week, several threads. Search for it.. oh wait, you said you did.. So you found that the general consensis was that the Greddy Rspl was excellent

[mat240]

ya with the cluches all you have to do is buy a flywheel of a ka24de truck motor at the junk yard and put it on your 240 and guess what they are now itercangable and you know what i was the first to do it in Georgia so i would not know about the cluch proble aready what do you think about that

[mat240]

and some of my question were answered after i posted but not all of them

[SpeedRacer1]

F*ck off you a$$ nobody wants to help you if your gonna have some "im the $hit" attitude. If your so hot $hit then why did you need our advice on such a newbie question your grace?

By the way what the hell did you ask in your first post, I cant read grammer and spelling that is that horrible.

[mat240]

i did not start the attitude and ya i miss up the spelling i know when i am wrong it happens but i srearrch for the post you say is for the clutchs but i cannot find it maby i am a dumass and can't get to work but i can not find what you are talking about

[jemil118]

what is with the "I'm too good to use punctuation, so everybody has to reread my post a half-dozen times to understand me" attitude? It'll make it so much easier on everyone else if all the newbies would actually take to heart those suggestions when they register, maybe then we'll be a little more receptive. On a side note, before I even made my first post here, I went through the entire site to find out everything I could as to not sound totally ignorant. I found http://www.srswap.com , one of the best FAQ area and some links to some stock parts...If I did it, anyone can.

[mat240]

i have been their and they answerd more of my quetions. the main questions i still have are if a remote oil fiter kit and oil cooler are any help on this motor or if it is just over kill.

[jemil118]

I guess it all depends on how much h/p you're wanting to produce---250 or 450? If it's the first then it'll be unnecesary, if it's the latter then I would definitely consider one...

[mat240]

thank you very much, i am planning on landing somewere in the middle of that.

[jbsr20fiend]

Hey mat240, Always take some time when you read the faqs. I still find myself going back and looking sometimes even 2 or 3 months later. All of its pretty good stuff, especially srswap.com.

[I H8 UR DSM]

you should try searching. enjoy your day.

and i second that. (this way he can hate on us both brotha)

[Daunttless]

Thanks Jesse. In regards to the oil cooler, unless you plan on doing a lot of endurance runs, you very doubtfully need an oil cooler. Oil has a specific operating temperature, it doesn't like to be too cold or too hot. If you put an oil cooler on and all you're doing is quarter mile runs and then stopping, you probably don't need an oil cooler, and all you'll be doing is hurting engine performance because your oil will never get into its proper operating range. People usually only add oil coolers for specific operations, like road rallies or what not, or if their car produces an extreme amount of heat to the point where cooling is necessary. The best way is to check the proper operating temp for your viscousity and then put in an oil temp gauge if you are concerned. Watch your oil temp, if you're in your operating range you don't need an oil cooler, if you're on the low end of your operating range, you definitely don't need one. If you are over your operating range then investing in a properly sized oil cooler wouldn't be a bad idea. Oh, I also couldn't read your first post, I only caught a few things and I had noticed that they had been discussed before. Enjoy your day.

[Daunttless]

Oh, also, thanks for the defense guys, in this post and in others while I've been gone. : ) I don't take offense to much though, so its not a problem. : )

[Daunttless]

::laughs:: good call, I should probably change that.

[I H8 UR DSM]

[I H8 UR DSM]

and your avitar is week...you can do better...

[jbsr20fiend]

When is the "grand opening." I was hoping to see some more pics of your work. Would you still do a front end conversion if the car has some front end damage? I'm considering buying a wrecked 240 with no motor. I'm looking forward to doing business with you in the future. Late.

Dauntless, if i place an order for a Redtop how long will it be before i get it? Do you always have them in stock or would i have to wait for a shipment. Also how much is shipping to Cleveland, zip 44118. I'm almost saved up for a SR.

Edit: That's two t's in your name hah. my bad

[I H8 UR DSM]

Im pretty sure all that info is on his website....and that this isnt the place for that....

: )

[T_love]

Maybe i didn't look hard enough but i did not see any of that info on the website. There's only info about the products and specs.

1. Shop isnt officially open yet, so timetable not really available as of yet.

2. Most likely the first 2 maybe even 3 shipments will be sold already, he has a lot of pre orders i believe.

3. Shipping usually cost between 200-300 dollars.

4. Again, i know it says early october, but he has been really sick, so that has been pushed back a little...id say best bet is to email him, as he does check his emails often.
