My is running, alittle rich though. Got the rear main going out thats going to be changed out. Beside that she still can go, only if you guys heard the turbo pick up around 4500rpm sounds lovely...

I would be on the "not" running list (soon to be running though). I've been distracted with these being in the driveway.

Let's see:

240#1= Runs like a horny horse (15psi, 750cc injectors, turbonetic 60-1, SDS EFI, cams, custom manifold, and a bunch of other goodies). Oh yeah, it's registered and insured and has a Silvia front.

240#2 (Vert Spec)= Not running ( Will sport automatic CA, 750cc injectors, SDS EFI, ballbearing T3/T4, custom manifold, Silvia front that's being fitted in my spare time, and some other goodies as well).

B13 sentra= Running (15psi, 1000cc injectors, Garrett GT35R, SDS EFI, and a bunch of other goodies as well).

B12 sentra #1= Not running (No time to finish it, but it does have a new GT35R ceramic coated rear housing, manifold and wastegate housing, SDS EFI, cams, head-work, and a bunch of other stuff).

B12 sentra #2 (Drag Car)= Not running (Fully built CA and a gang of go-fast goodies to include the SDS EFI and 1600cc injectors).

dee im very curious about 240 #1, if thats a 60 trim 60-1 that car is SPOOKY close to my setup, i only have 1 cam, a 256 in the intake side, but im curious to see what kind of power that car makes for you at 15psi.

What I do for a living is kind of hush-hush, but it has nothing to do with cars and I don't have much time to play with projects; let alone take pictures of them. But I do manage to play around from time to time and as we speak, I'm prepping the CA vert with a new nose as the original one was unrepairable. Oh yeah, it has only 52,000miles on it as well .

Money is not the object, but time is, especially when you're a one man band. Trying to maintain multiple turbocharged cars by yourself is a nightmare which is why some of thesepuppies are going to find themselves with new owners whenever I finish them.

WTF No way man, that's not me. But my job is purposeful yet neverending. However, I still do play with the cars in my spare time, so at least I'm still somewhat human/normal. . And definitely have nothing to do with smuggler nor smotherer as one of you fools put it.

I believe Dee is the guy that hits you in the head with a brick if you try to smuggle drugs into Miami Int'l. So, "#1 airport skull-basher"

Mine's running pretty well. I'm using the MG as a daily right now since my coupe is already in CA.

This is not a fair question for me, yes my car does run quite well...for 2 weeks. Then i tear it all apart to install new parts, drive for 2 weeks and repeat.

This is what the past 2 year has been like.

Thx God for the small amount of aftermarket goodies available for the CA, or you wouldn't drive it at all.

I know what you mean tho, FRsport is worse that p0rn sometimes.

Not just the M.I.A , but the entire U.S. and it's outlying posessions.
