Well the 240 will start its progress here shortly. I'll be redoing somethings that were done before she came into my ownership.
Engine harness, fuel system, turbo, misc engine stuff, then some paint and body work. I was thinking about getting rid of it for awhile, but eh...rather put money into mods, then into a dealerships pocket on car payments....course I'm just not at that baller status just yet,lol

Other ppl's cars? I asking about my car. if you need verification, I just paid you guys roughly $2800...look up my account info. Initials RB - even left the round label on my keys (with my name on it) for you guys since I had to break in my clutch. I hate to call and take mark away from his work.

I'm trying to gather the parts that I need to do the job correctly. When the engine was installed the harness wasn't the best of the best jobs. I'm looking to redo the harness, polish and powder coat somethings, new motor mounts, tranny mount, short shifter, injectors, condition the engine, transmission, and differntial (I'm tired of one wheel peel,lol).
Hook ups aren't needed, just saving the money for it. My end goal once all done and done will hopfully be high 300 very low 400s. Going to see how much I can push on a stock block.

That's alot of work...
KA motor I assume. If I had a 240...I think I'd do a RB26 swap. I see some ppl doing it to the Z on this board....I just feel the VQ is more than capable.

actually its an SR20DET, so far I've gotten Power FC standalone EMS, so as for my tuning needs I'm taken care of there. As you can guess, Mark will be the only one tuning on my car, from now till the day I build it completely.
In short I'm looking to do:

tubular exhaust manifold
turbo upgrade
fuel injectors
motor and transmission mounts
VLSD
flywheels & clutch
light cams
intake plenum
underdrive pulleys
brakes/wheels/tires
body work is last
.......think thats about it, of course I say that now,lol

I'd like to have a presentable car before the first Houston car show Jan 2007.

You remind me of the old school (haha, i got to use my name) Punch amps (i.e punch 45, 60, etc). They claimed to only have 45 watts, but they really made alot more....

damn hustlers...lol.

Ahhhh SR....good motor...about 5-8 years ago (right before I stopped messing with imports for awhile)....SR parts were hard to come by...its the opposite today.... RB parts are getting to be the same way. Kinda makes me wish I had a 240.
