before headlights

Let's start from the end;









and now, the beginning.

made 463whp @ 25lbs - pfc sensor doesnt work above 25lbs apparently got a new one sitting in the glove box - will try for a race gas tune in fall of spring, not in a rush at the moment.

built & tuned by Frank @ http://www.pride-performance.com/

break in tune was put on by r/t tuning - they did a great job, I had planned on going there for the full tune but I saw frank@pride (who built the motor) was getting into tuning so I let him rip on it

way back in september of 2008 I bought this for 2000$


and then daily drove it until December of 2010...


and then whoa wild never been done before, the ka engine came out of the 240


and then omg totally didn't see it coming, started putting together an sr20


with a full race gt35r kit


twin scroll*


see those plastic lines? dont use those.

shitty cell phone picture... I was just happy I didn't have to look at the stock ride height anymore...


like a glove... still need to clock the turbo and move the reservoir... might not be a great idea to suck it into the turbo!





bushings bushings


and more bushings!


oh and more


no sir we aint drifting with this 1.5way


now it looks like my car...



I'll upload more pictures as I get them over the next few weeks...

[evonam]

I'd change the color. Something that stands out more.

[Phate]

The gold looks nice. How much power are you shooting for?

nice, I didn't mind so much that it was a base and auto cause I was dead set on following through with modding it ...

[PHX-S14]

yea its better to have something different..it makes it more unique..looking good man

nice ferrari in the background by the way..

[Imarvin240]

cars looking good man!

[nomoremk2]

That ferrari is probably the least cool car at Pride haha. You should see that back lot it's intercooler city. Cool build man but I feel like you should do something with that engine bay. Clean it up and paint that sucker while you have the motor out.

[Irresistible]

Lovin it, but the gold............. Eh. My car used to be gold though. Kinda grew on me, but idk. Can look good though.

I should have painted the engine bay if I was building a show car - I wholeheartedly agree - and contemplated painting it even though it is just a street car... I like that it has some character/scars

I'm not the biggest fan of gold, but... I'll make it work!

[mr_eh]

temp wheels, waiting on mine, should be here this week...

[Highway Riding]

Top Secret gold would freshen that right up and you don't have to mess with the title.. Nice car BTW

To get the paint from Top Secret you have to submit your build and the head engineer has to approve of the car for them to consider selling you the paint, and it's not cheap... spoke to one of their usa reps 8 or so months ago just for laughs

why not just match their paint code

its not science

[mr_eh]

fakery is fake, oem gold is just fine!

[aristrutin]

looks clean man!

[dazed]

Because it would be fairly hard to match the paint down to a science?
Sure you could just show your paint shop a picture of it, but thats not going to be close to the real thing.

And how many cars are running around with authentic top secret paint to get a sample from them? Not many.

I mean if you don't have a problem just getting close to it, then I'd go for it.

Kinda like special order Volk wheel colors - Takata Green and F-Zero "I just jizzed" Blue.

Oh, and sweet build

[EDacIouSX]

Your car's looking good dood. I want to see how that twin scroll setup works out, i'm thnking of the same thing.

yeah that pinstripe is peacing out when it goes to paint, I've never seen another 240 with one... should be running in another week or so, had a little issue with the turbo hitting the bmc

[Nicksx]

[mr_eh]

[mr_eh]
