woah JOEL!!!!!!

you made it!!!! to those of you who dont know joel, he is DA MASTA auto-x'er in the white old school se-r with transformer decals... and his gf/fiance' will most likely whoop 90% of you in auto-x.

 

Just to warn you all, I MIGHT be there in my 240, which is currently automatic so don't laugh at me!

It doesn't have any kind of Sport-Shift options like Steve!

joel, welcome to the boards. i've seen you and your gf at autox's, but never really talked to ya before. any plans for the s13?

nick, bring the 240!!! hehe. i think your intake moves you into STS, hahaha.

 

Steve -- Thank, but your comments about me are a little too much. You've already beaten me at a couple events =). The part about Ruth is right on though. Once she gets used to RWD she will be scary!

019 -- Many plans for the 240. How many will get funding is the question. JIC suspension is near definite, as far as engine we're still debating between the dohc (its an 89) and an sr/ca swap. There's alot up in the air.

--Joel

 

yea, your gf will def be sacry once she gets used to rwd. i remember watching her drive it for the first time at radford (at least i think it was her first time) and it was obvious she needed to get used to it. but that's all good.

funding is always the problem, hehe. if not for that, everyone would have a pretty nice car, hehe. when you say jic suspension, you mean coilovers right? flt-a2's? can't go wrong with that.

as far as engine, my roommate has a 92 ka24, if you're interested. a ca swap would be sweet, just because not a lot of ppl have that. whichever way you go, keep us updated man. we got a lot of 240's on the boards, so there's always good local advice to be found

 

Yes, we're looking at the FLT-A2's. I'm content with the suspension on my B13 but I wish I had waited/saved and gone full bore. That's what we'll do on her car. Instead of stock style springs and AGX's we'll get her a real suspension and start saving for the 2300$ Shigspeed setup for the Sentra =). droool

For the time being we're working on getting a set of Rotas and Azenis' for the 240.

As far as info on 240sx's, it seems difficult to find any performance-oriented info. The various boards (zilvia/240sxforums) seem much more bling or drift based. I would certainly appreciate as much info as y'all gots! =)

-- Joel

 

exactly. waiting until you can go for expensive/right stuff is the way to go. i wish i would've done so too, but now i'm stuck with what i've got and just wanting to get the flt-a2's...

you should check out freshalloy.com. it is probably the most technical 240 forum out there. lots of great info to be found there. i think you'll find that most of the older 240 owners (as in not newbies, not necessarily age-wise) are more performance-oriented. when i first got into those forums, i was impressed at the amount of emphasis placed on suspension, although things have changed a little since...

 

Struts and coilvers = installed

fenders rolled = check

wide ass rims and tires = installed

alignment = Friday

LSD = Friday(trying for)

Nick

 

sweet! i gotta check out how the rims look with the car lowered, hehe. i hope that huge ass gap you had on the front with the rims on is gone! would've come help install the coilovers, but wasn't feeling too good today and woke up at like 330pm, hehe :P

 

LSD = going on tomorrow (6 hours of driving to get it today)

Alignment = tomomorrow (Joey, one of my lug nuts is stuck like a mofo and I can't get it off )
