well, its getting close… still waiting on rear brake discs (they sent me 2 sets of fronts) so i had to send a pair back. And the tires should be here this week. Gonna fire it up with the stock injectors first make sure everything is kosher… then gonna slap in the Tomei 555cc injectors and AFC. Then its just a matter of getting the suspension put on and getting to my dads paintbooth… 😉 ---

> _Originally posted by SleeperGTP_ > **Look at that intercooler:cool: What kind of times are you lookin to get out of it?** well rusty240det went 11.90@115mph with this set-up. So im gunning for around there… maybe a tenth faster since i should be a hair lighter because of the carbon hood, no power steering and lighter wheels. But anything under 12 seconds ill be happy with 🆒 ---

> _Originally posted by Quik_ > **i got a question, what is the big deal with those 240s and the engine swaps??? are the cars good at handling or good strip cars what? just curious** Basically the 240sx/silvia/180sx is a good all around car because of its lightweight, its RWD and the huge performance aftermarket and not to mention the reliability of the SR20DET engine. The motor can withstand over 450hp on the STOCK bottom end. There are tuners who have pushed it to over 500hp on the stock bottom end. ---
