…but like all good things, must come to an end. For those that know me (and the car) they know it’s been through a lot, so seeing it go was kind of bittersweet. New owner lives in the Windsor area so I will likely never see it again. ☹ Will there be another 240? Maybe, but I don’t think anytime soon. 😉 Time to get out of the modding scene and put priority in my money elsewhere. I’ll still be around on SON though; someone’s gotta keep the database safe. :o :sadwavey: ![http://my240.com/forsale/img/sold.jpg](http://my240.com/forsale/img/sold.jpg) ---

Surprisingly I wasn’t so much sad as I was relieved. The car was just not meant for daily driving and I just got fed up driving it on a daily basis. And with winter coming I decided just to sell it and get something I can drive all year around. What’ll I get next? Looking towards a 1st gen Mazda 6 V6. But absolutely no modding. :o ---

congrats G, but DAMN! 6 years and all that work into it… musta been hard to watch it drive away. you probably still have that feeling where you’ll go outside and it’ll still be there. good luck with finding a next car, and i hope you’ll stick around!

I was actually happy to see it go. So I haven’t quite started missing it yet. It’ll probably hit me at some point when I go in the garage and get reminded by some part or tool. Or when I open my laptop and notice the AEMPro program that I spent countless hours tinkering with. Good times, good times. BTW, who remembers this? 🤣 ![http://www.gonrad.com/200908/240_stock_engine_bay.jpg](http://www.gonrad.com/200908/240_stock_engine_bay.jpg) Which turned into this: ![http://www.gonrad.com/200806/srt3before.jpg](http://www.gonrad.com/200806/srt3before.jpg) And finally ended up as this: ![http://www.gonrad.com/200908/srt3.jpg](http://www.gonrad.com/200908/srt3.jpg) ---

I could only manage a best of 14.0 @ 108 on 205 tires (FK452 with not much tread and 18psi I think). Horrible 60fts. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/it-was-fun-while-it-lasted/126850.md?page=2)
