The 240

[DragonUSMC]

i just realized i have no thead in here... and i'm bored at work so... ok pic time.

For those that dont know... just a quick rundown
91 SE with SR20DET, Control Arms, FMIC, Blitz BOV, Blitz Electric Boost controler, coated turbo mani, catdelete DP, knock off Catback, SB oil lines, SB brake lines, SP rotors, Hawk HPS pads, ABS removed, Buddy Club Seat, JDM Tyte pink to white fade steering wheel, CP quick disconnect wheel hub, Sportmax 002 wheels, Falken 452 tires, fenders rolled, Stance Coilovers, SUPER CRAZY engine mounts and tranny mount, CP catch can... etc. etc... i cant remember all of it... its well over $12k at this point... last time when we still had the CRU garage up it was like at $10k and i still didnt add everything yet.

I just added GT300 vented fiber hood, and origin lab dove tail, along with a very expensive and LONG paintjob which is why i'm not driving it now. =(

that box looks a lot better in your trunk than behind your car....

[DragonUSMC]

^omg, cant we just let that die? besides i've got a new box, speaker and amp. That box just got cut up to make a new one to fit into Chris's 240

[TbTalon94]

Lookin good Jay.

Whenever you need some nice charge pipes, manifold, downpipe, exhaust...etc. etc. just ask me

-Trevor

[DragonUSMC]

I'm keeping the cast iron mani, well mainly because it wont crack, that and i had it teflon coated. Down Pipe i have a nice XS cat delete pipe that tucks up REAL nice.

what do you have for a cat back though? I was probably going to get that new Megan one from tougefactory... its like flat black, twin 3.5" pipe and QUIET! which is the direction i'm heading with it.

[TbTalon94]

My manifolds won't crack. They carry a lifetime warranty against that :)

I don't have a cat-back on my car. THAT is quiet. I was just stating if you wanted a high quality exhaust hand-made for your car just let me know, i can do that.

[Stang5oh93]

Nice car, I definitely like the newer wheels over the other set.

Trevor, do you have any kind of shop? I am looking to do my downpipe and my intercooler pipes, i know you offer your skills to Jay, i hope you can help me too.

Jay,

That is a really nice car, so what color is the new paint? How do you like those coilovers?

Congratulations you have very good taste

You've got a PM

[DragonUSMC]

I didnt know you were MAKING turbo mani's Trevor... i thought you just had on old one or something. But yeah we'll have to talk about that at the next get together.

tvmendoza - Thank you for the compliments. The new paint color i havent seen. I really didnt get to pick it out. My uncle paints alot of cars and bikes, and i didnt have my heart set on any color, so he found one he liked. He says its a blood ruby red with some violet hue to it. He also says he is going with crushed glass to make the paint look like its constantly moving. He says during the day it will look a very deep red with some purple hints, and at night look almost jet black until i get under a street light. So i'm looking forward to it.

Also the Stance Coilovers... wow... i mean i'm speechless, and for anyone that knows me, thats saying alot. Boxmakingman, JJ240, my brother and myself all have them. They are made by the guys at Tougefactory in chitown. Everyone in the quad cities that i roll with has now all gotten rid of all their junk megan coils and all bought the stance and are stoked on them. So all i can say it buy it right, or buy it twice...

yeah the old wheels were ok for what they were... i mean the Sportmax i have now are not some super hi quality wheel but they look clean and sharp and are the right price... EVENTUALLY i will be getting the Work VSXX... but they are pricy and i need to stay under a 17" wheel because i dont plan on running aero.

The picture with the artillery in the background. That wouldn't be Ft Sill Oklahoma would it. Seems like I've seen that gun before. Of course at my age it's hard to remember where I've seen things, where I've been.......who I am. Things like that.

[DragonUSMC]

no thats on the Rock Island Arsenal. I used to work there... actually all of those new pics minus the ones in my garage are on the base. It just has really cool scenery.

[boxmakingman]

I don't have Stance.

I have ZEAL.

[TbTalon94]

Yea the one I posted a long time ago for the talon we made. I said I can make anything really...and that's including turbo manifolds, intake manifolds, charge pipe, downpipe, catch cans, etc. etc. etc.

[DragonUSMC]

NEW PICS FROM NEW YORK!!!

he said the pictures dont do justice to the paint color. He has molded out and flared my fenders, and taken out some of the body lines... but anyway here is an update.

[DragonUSMC]

more

[TbTalon94]

Looks gooood. Paint is gleaming

how come you didn't keep the black?

[s13kid]

Color looks good. Now you'll need bigger wheels :bigthumb:

[DragonUSMC]

paint color was my uncle's choice as i didnt really have my heart set on any color. Its a very deep red with a hint of purple in the dark and in the light the crushed glass makes it kinda flop to an orange in the sunlight.


but yeah with him molding the fenders that way i'm going to need much bigger tires in the rears to fill that. or even bigger offsets in the rear.

[xci.ed6]

i remember that exhaust. it was very loud.


I don't have Stance.

I have ZEAL.

no need to brag, not everyone can be ballin'

[DragonUSMC]

heh that exhaust is actually not too bad on a turbo'ed car... but it will be getting replaced with something quieter in the near future.

[Drifte]

car looks awesome. You need a different sub and box. Lemme one when u want to upgrade... And save space and lose weight.

[DustinsDuster]

looks awesome Jay- now get that bitch back here!

[biohazard]

Looking good Jay.

[DragonUSMC]

well, i wont be getting it back before i leave to CO...

But i'll drive it up to CR when i get it in the spring! Its been in NY for a year now =(

[JJ240]

Oh you didn't go to pick it up this week?

[DragonUSMC]

no he wasnt done putting everything back together, and he wants to do a little more things here and there, and with me moving. He just decided to keep it up there in the shop's warehouse this winter... =( so you wont see it for the wedding.

[DragonUSMC]

eh... pics update... kinda... just fixed the first page. guess i'm going to get her picked up in July...


but i'm not holding my breath.

[DragonUSMC]
