you still got some tires left? i could use another pair of 195/55-15's.. one of mine has a crack in the sidewall so I'm kind of scared to do any burnouts :-X plus they're bald on one side, cuz i'm slammed to tha flo y0!

haha whos the PO'd looking guy in the 4th 240sx picture? :)

looks good, build sounds nice, correct me if im wrong but the crank and rods are forged in ka24de's? My buddy has an Altima and we're going to be building the engine for boost, and I told him that all I think we would need to do is get some ARP head bolts, good hg, forged pistons and get the rods shotpeened and we'd be in business.

ya, that's right... they're good to 400 ish but it's a mix of luck of the draw and good tuning how long they last
