My 4th car was a 92 240sx coupe that developed a rod knock on the way home from prom

^ I have been tryin to trade the 240 everytime I talk about a trade to you. I got the turbo timer on, just have to hook up my gauge and finish puttin on the rest of the UICP

EvlEgl- Not selling it cause I wont get nearly what I just paid for the engine and the car. I would trade it though if the right trade came around.

sick dude, love the 2g.

Did FP actually polish the exhaust housing or you did it yourself?

I need to get a better DD, soon. What did you pay for the audi if you don't mind me asking.

^^ where do you see FRP? FRP is like fiberglass or something if I'm not mistaken

FP Polished it, not the best job in the world, thiers a rough area about a quarter inch thick they didn't smooth out, but it's still nice. I paid 13,900 for the TT But I would sell it for $13,500 haha.. I want to get out of my car payment

Dude, I didn't know your setup was gonna be so hard core. Good luck man. When you gonna bring it out to WC?

haha, as soon as I get it running I'll be makeing appearances everywhere more and likely.... I miss drivng it, its been down for too long already

I would never trust an Egay Intercooler, alot of them are brazed and poorly welded, and the cores are poor quality, **** looks baller though on your car.

The SSAC/XS power fmic's aren't that bad, they do lose a couple psi of boost through them, but if your on a budget and dont plan on going big you can't beat the price. I'm definately going to upgrade my FMIc though.
