Pretty much all wrapped up....... just waiting on the correct downpipe from Full-Race. I'm pretty sure they sent me the KA instead of the SR when they sent me the KA manifold by accident. It won't line up with the Apexi downpipe that's already on the car. If the one they are sending me doesn't work then I will just have to get my Apexi modified to fit. Car has been fired up several times and ran through the parking lot to check for leaks and the like. Loud as hell with open downpipe, but everything checked out great. Here are some pics to tide you over until I have Kyle take some final "professional" shots after I get everything all cleaned up and polished.

Yeah, I am scheduled to have Charles from Adrenalin in St Louis do it a week from today. I might have to push that back a week though if I have to have something custom fabricated with my downpipe.

Everything is sooo clean....

What heat protector (kind/brand) are you using on your P/S reservoir and brake master cylinder?

Figured I'd throw up some pics that Kyle took after the dyno session. It poured on the way to St. Louis...... about a 3 hour drive. So the car got trashed on the trailer, no big deal right. However, they wanted to shoot my car after the tune for a new Apexi magazine advertisement. They brought in a photographer while it was getting tuned, then he shot it afterward before it stormed again. So I had to do a quickie clean up on the thing. I think Kyle's skills are sick, he needs to do some work for money. I'm sure his pics are as good as the guy they brought in, if not better.

Just be honest with her and I'm sure she'll understand the amount of money you spend

I mean lie through your teeth and hope she never finds out how much you spent!

Yeah, depending on what aluminum you are polishing, will depend on what grit you start off with. For example on my turbo, which is a fairly rough aluminum casting, I had to start out with 36 grit. Then 50, 80, 120, 180, 240, 320, 400, then wet 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 then Hoosier metal polish. Any place I could I used a air sander and DA. You don't want to have to do all of it by hand.

Super clean car Toby.

I've been a fan of your car well before it was ever in super street(I think that's the right mag). Yours was the first 240 I'd seen with the wedssport tc007s on it, which I was in love with at the time.

You should definitely put up a driving vid or drag vid along with your new dyno sheet!@#!@#

Also did you say your running a 3071 or 3076? I thought you said 3071 earlier, but then told ink or someone else that it was a 76.

Yeah it's a catch can or actually it would be more of a crankcase breather setup.

Got my custom catch can in today. Here is a pic next to my old one. Those are -10 fittings to give you an idea how big it is.




I'm really wanting to know where you got that catch can made from. Please leave a reply or e-mail me because I am really interested in getting one. Thanks!
