Hi - Don’t usually introduce myself but was asked to after I posted, so…

Andrew Comrie-Picard, 35 years old, live Toronto and New York but my shop in Waterloo, experienced rally driver (2002 Canadian Open Class Champion, X Games 2006 competitor), auto journalist (tech column in Inside Track), host of War of the Wheels, host Targa Newfoundland, and new 240 owner, beginning to compete in drifting.

Whole story on [www.musketeerracing.com](http://www.musketeerracing.com)

Just bought a car we built on the show, an S13 with an SR20. Want to, within reason, set the car up well to be competitive for the 2007 drift season. Looking for info and thoughts on setup. You guys seem to have lots of info - have surfed through quite a bit but may ask some redundant questions without realizing it. Sorry in advance!

That’s it. Thanks  
ACP

Long time reader, first time poster here.

I’m KoukiS14’s little brother. I’m 18 years old, attending St. Clair college right now. I have a 98 suzuki GSXR600 and just bought a 1995 240SX a little while ago. Right now all stock. Plan to do some track days/autocross.

Not much else to say.

Unless you are with State Farm insurance and have at LEAST 5 years experience(car or motorcycle doesn’t matter), you may as well bend over. If you have your car/house with State Farm, for a 600cc, expect to pay about $100.00/month.

Now if you aren’t with State Farm, then don’t be suprised to be paying $2400+ a year. Facility insurance for me is $2300/year and you have to pay up front the full amount. As of November 1st, they are increasing their rates 17.3%. Thats quite an increase. :idhitit:

Just call a bunch of insurnace companies and get some quotes before you buy a bike.

Fu(k Jay - you’re stuff looks really good dude.

Where do your manifolds sit (price wise) in the market. For example, what do you charge for your top-mount SR20DET manifold?

HI,  
im sort of new here, been lurking for a while but its time i made my self know. I own a 90 240sx hatch, black, stock, and in somewhat rough shape. I have owned the car for about 4-5 years but only drove it for about 4 months total. The car has sat for a couple of year until know when i decided to make it a project. It needs some rust repair, brake rotors/pads, suspension is shot but as far as 240’s go its not that bad.  
So from now on i will be around maybe asking some questions but mostly inquiring about parts for sale.
