Whats up all, i havent been very active here lately and thought id say hi by talkin bout what ive been up to. Ill post some pics of everything i talk about later this week, sry...
Ive got the tib all fixed up and nice again daily driving it with the mods listed in my profile, shes running good, back to its good ol 15 second na tib self lol.
As for my 96 240sx ive got my spec stage 3 clutch installed and have every part i need to boost the ka24de sitting next to it in the garage except a catback system which ill be ordering soon and ill be starting the build up this weekend prolly.
The most fun ive had lately was installing a Powerdyne supercharger on our stang! Its a 6psi supercharger kit that was a snap to put on. The stang already went 13.31 @ 103 or so with poor traction and bolt ons. The kit is supposed to net 80+ more whp and were ordering slicks b4 the track opens. Its nasty as FV@K just driving it out on the street with the 10" drag radials lol. Raced a few quick highend cars one day i had it out and just ate em from digs(doubt any of those 40 yrs old dudes with nice cars could launch like me but oh well lol they were still mad)...but anyhow ive been busy with school, the gf, cars, and work. Ill post some pics soon.

^ I may have missed it but were you having issues with the turbo? Everyone seems to be having probs with their turbo setups... Makes me not want to bother with going turbo, on this car anyway.

Turbo that came with my kit was fuxored, defected in some way apparently, never sealed, i babied that SOB forever to break it in right and it just never worked. Then it caught on fire, then i fixed it and got a good turbo and then i blew the rings out on 10psi with a t3/t4. Now its a daily lol.
