Hey y'all, I just got into the import tuning game (and zilvia) and wanted to say hello. I'm a hot rodder from way back but all of my experience has been on Chevy V8's, like the 327 in my '55 2 door post. Check out my web page to see all my hot rod toys.
Anyway, I was searching the net for info on my new to me '91 240sx and found this site. There seems to be a lot of very informed people out there making posts to the tech forum and I've learned a lot just from reading that. Thanks!
I bought my car in Aug '01 for $250. Yep, it was a POS. Needed a paint job, interior cleaning, tires, brakes, struts, clutch kit and oh yeah...it had two melted pistons in the block, #2 and #3. I was just gonna fix it up a little and sell it for some profit to spend on my '55. But after I got it runin' and drove it I saw the potential. It's a really fun car to drive and git's great gas mileage.
So far I've had it painted, 2002 Corvette Red, painted the mirrors, 3rd brake light trim and center tail light section, installed clear turn signals, Canidian DRL's and ML320 side markers (great idea), got a PDM wing, 16x7 wheels, tinted the windows, new system, OBX shifter (love that) and synthetic fluid (shifts much smoother), Denso plugs, Accel 8mm wires, removed the clutch fan and gone with an electric one (revs a lot quicker), home made CAI, and installed a K&N filter. I can already tell a difference with just that stuff.
I'm fixin ta git new exhaust (can't decide- 2.25 or 2.5, I think I'll go with 2.5), already got an OBX dual tip muffler with 2.5 inlet and I gotta git sum lowering springs, probably Eibach.
Well, that's about it. Like I said, just wanted to say hello and give y'all a little background info on me 'cause yer probably gonna see me make a few posts.
Later,
HotRodGuy
