Damn Jacob, didn't know grabbing the flag in football can result in a broken finger ..

& Draco no offense but seriously, how much did you get from insurance? Why not get a normal car and worry about boost when you graduate? Sound like you got way too much on your hands and all you worry about is boost. It's fun and all but with 20 hours a semester (not sure if its an over exaggeration or not) but it sounds insane the last thing on my mind is boost or even working let alone..

not a bad swap, but parts are expensive, and be real, people beat the hell out of 240's.......

I think the best option for a 240 is still the SR20 as parts are way more common and nearly any problem has been addressed on multiple forums....

What are your intentions for the car? drift events???

Just got back from seeing Terminator Salvation, and it was okay. It'll probably win box office this weekend, but not any more weekends. Lots of explosions and action, but I thought the story was weak at best. They should have stopped at T2. Unless you are a die hard Terminator fan, I'd wait for DVD.

Michael, I'm not gonna lie. That LS is the ****. If you've ever driven the LS, you'll see why. It is probably the epitome of luxury cars. I loved driving those when I used to valet at the Hilton.

I'm still unsure. I guess I should have asked. You could always give them a call, Jason. 972 474 2600

BTW, signature updated.

So they did race, I went by around 7 and it was sprinkling a bit and I didn't see anyone look like they were gonna race. I guess I should have stuck around.

The track wasn't even open at 7, just the gates at 6. We started racing a bit past 7. My first run was at 7:50 and last one at 10:16 at a total of 6 runs. I usually make a lot more runs, but I chose to be a bit conservative today. I should've raced ***** out starting around 9, though.


First attachment: This was my average mpg during my runs (wasn't reset; started racing with 23.x mpg)
Second attachment: My 2 best runs ever back to back. More to come.

Thanks, Q. My goal for the night was to run a 12.3 or better. If my bottle pressure wasn't dropping like dead flies, I could have run 12.2 or better tonight even with the 1700 DA. Oh well, I'm just glad I reached my goal. I doubt I'll beat the 12.3 anytime soon, but once the weather cools down again, I should be doing 12.1-12.2 easy.

I'm still trying to get a nitrous setup. Maybe by the end of the year or something. Did you go with anybody?

My friend in a RSX-S was there. He also got his personal best of 14.8@94 or something like that. Today was his 2nd time out and his first time out, he only got 1 run in.

You can buy my set up. Proven to get you down the 1/4 mile in 12.3 seconds @ 112 (highest trap), with basic power mods such as intake, spacer, mrev2, and test pipes.*

*Results may vary.
