Hey everyone, as some of you may know i don’t live in Ontario anymore, I decided to move west but have always liked being a part of this forum, anyway my girlfriend has a blog and she has made a post about our trip in my 240 from Ontario to BC (it CAN be done!!) so I thought I would share for those who even remember me from cscs or bings meet haha. thanks, enjoy!

nice trip. only an SR could do that though. KA or RB would have given up before you got out of Ontario 🙂 ---

^your overnighting parts from enjuku and hoping you can find some half decent shop to put them on. Well done thanks for sharing, I know the feeling, it is rewarding traveling a long distance on something you’ve built. I drove mine to Daytona and back. Burned some oil and needed new tires half way there, but it’s an sr’d 240. ---

> [@bing](#): > > nice trip. > > only an SR could do that though. KA or RB would have given up before you got out of Ontario 🙂 imho you’d be better off with a ka for a road trip unless you have a nice aftermarket turbo, i wouldn’t trust a stock pos turbo on a long haul! ---

I drove all the way to Wyoming in an SR powered 240 with a bran new Tomei 7960 ,last year . thats 3 quarters of the way across america with great gas milage. what car allows you to top up the gear box in ten minutes while sitting in your car outside a south Dakota hotel . a great trip, chasing the sunset ,driving through thunderstorms with the sunroof open because its so warm . wonderful. I would really like to go to Utah and see Zion national park . if you haven’t seen it look it up . you tube
