240's are fun. my buddy just bought one, without a full INTERCOOLER setup!!! he pulled up and i heard this awful noise, and i looked in the engine bay and the pipes were just dangling(?) there!!! it is/was awful. he wants to race me once he get a new intercooler put in, i think i should break him, they only run like 8psi.

and nice greddy bov, i like the sparkle it gives off biggrin.gif

power wash that engine bay man!<-- After about 10 days of owning the car he dropped it off for the motor swap. In that picture he had just picked it up

needs more turbo!!!<-- As I said his goal is around 300+ hp, so a Turbo is in the works.

Here is the place that did the swap. He went with the stage two.

That ugly e brake has a Cusco drift knob it allows you to bypass the e brake locking mechanism.
