that sounds like a great idea dan...2 blue boosted monsters need a shoot together...you just tell me when and where...are you going to the sonic meet?

@ stylezTA - Hey man, when Ry told me what he paid for the 240, i was thinking to myself, damn man you over paid for a KA-T(before i had seen it) but after looking it over, that is one clean, well put together, done right 240 and the price justifies it. i dunno if you did the work, or someone else, but its a nice clean set-up. I actually got to take it out for a spin and i liked it a lot, just kinda hard going from my car to his, its like night and day. I have been dyeing to know this though...what clutch is in that car? that peddal is so soft it feels like a stock clutch, but it grabs really nice. Whats the secreat?

@ Rick...yea why WOULDN'T we be "those Guys", they wouldnt know you were running anyway caus youd be so far behind..hahahha...im not sure as to where im meeting yet, but i'll let ya know, its a good posiability red robin, or kop, either way, im def. goin

and RY, sounds good man, im def. going as well...not sure where im meeting up yet, i'll be closer to the KOP guys but we'll have to see..i'll give ya the heads up though dont worry...should be a great time, and weather should be pretty damn good too.

Lol of course it is, I rarely ever get on it. Just picked up some new rims, and trying to find the time to get them on the car since I will be needing to do some fender work

yea i did all the work. That car is made clean, it hurt way to much to sell it. Way to much history there. was my ex g/f's car. She wanted it turboed, long story short its mine by the time it got done =) That clutch believe it or not was an "ebay stage 3". I needed a clutch to get the car moving so i just picked that up real quick. when i sent it to r/t i asked vince if he ever felt it slippin, said no. Lol. I think i even put a stainless clutch line in that one. Dunno if i would test it past the setup thats on it (or was) but hey, At least its holding up! Take care of it ryan, you guys ever meet up give me a call, i picked up a pretty sweet coupe and hatch so i got 3 again to drive around, would love to meet some of the locals!

And man, awesome on a celica. I just did a gen 3 3sgte swap in my buddies mr2. Its such a sweet engine and a blast to work on. (And it hauls ass)!

Lol I passed by your shop and saw the coupe, that too is pretty clean. The interior needs some work but the sivlia front looks awesome. Oh what gauge pod is the aem wideband gauge sitting in I like that. I picked a wideband up and I need a gauge pod to install it. Lol

[DPancoast]

yes sir I will be at the Sonic meet!

u haven't recently seen it then. the interior is back together and mint =) The gauge and pod came with the car, i'm pretty sure its just ur average joe blow black pod from like jegs.com or something for 2 1/16 gauge.
