Default My life story in cars PICTURES up the yin-yang (56k no chance)

Thought I would make a pic thread.... my life story in cars.
(yes I know the crx was horribly ricey, but i was young and dumb and did my best to de-rice it)


89 240sx as it stands right now








garrett .48.60 t3
3" open dp
cca intercooler
safc2
innovate wideband
dsm 450's
rfl knockoff
blow through maf

.. spiked to 18 lbs last week and now have 25psi compresson on cyl 1. time for the new motor.






should be going in soon
ka24de
forged pistons
cometic head gasket
shotpeened rods
misc machene work
400 hp here i come





the end to my first car - ricer orange crx... was turbo... slid it into a curb and tore the frame... I parted it out and scrapped it


interior shot... I had a coors tap handle for a shift ****, but it broke


o2 sensor was too high on the dp and lit the hood on fire.. no real damamge.


fiberglassed 2 10's in the trunk


soot smiley face


took me a couple tries to get the flange placement right... straight gangsta mani, but it works.




old crx setup - ihi, 450's, turboedit






tein super street coil overs = amazing


got in a movie/documentary for drifting and got hooked up with 3 sets of yokohoma es 100s and a new set of tires for the suburban.. ---- ya

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 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
