What mods do you guys put on your 240's ?
I was wondering, i'm just starting to buy parts for my 90 240 and i was just wondering what kind of gains i get from different modifications.
With an Intake hp?
Headers ?
test pipe for cat
cut off, or free flow exhaust
Or with suspension
The front strut tower bar ?
rear strut tower bar ?
Springs or Struts
What performance parts you guys put on your cars that had the greatest improvement to your auto mobile. Just trying to get a head start to a nice overall handling car with some nice power.
Thanks All,
Kam

well i use a cat with no muffler/3 inch pipe and no resinator all the way back. i put a cool auto zone tip on to fool cops into thinking i have have an actual muffler. it really helps throttle response and top-end. i tightened my throttle cable to help improve throttle response(it works). K&n cone filter to get more top end.
lame *** Project Silvia(ebay) FSTB that helps turn in. it won't fit with the RB anyway so why-not?
drift spin button
180sx front sway bar with urethane bushings
N1 cat-back and R32 LSD in the store-room(nice place for em)
full gutted and re-painted interior
and clear winkers that gave me 8 extra hp..........
thats it except the clip i got monday ............

so far I have FSTB, Custom catback made at the exhaust shop (much cheaper than the prefab) and NOS. besides the NOS, the catback has helped the most. my top end pickup is a lot better, but i still have the same speed limiter. and the Nitrous is only good into 4th gear, after that, Im pretty much wasitn it. My WAI kit should be hear soon, so i can give you an idea of that once I get it.

what shot are you running? How does it handle it, is it a straight shot like from what i saw on supras that a 50 shot is 50-55 rwhp. Does it take it nicely, or does it burp . What are the most influently mods to the 240.
I got A front and a rear strut tower bars.
I might get a ebay chip and an intake soon. First I need a 5spd trans.
ANyone else I would really like to know what setup your running.
Thanks,
Kam

the chip is a waste of $5, don't get it. the intake is just a filter and an adapter, try to get a full tubing intake system. the 50 shot is a dry shot, goes from the intake through the throttle body into the manifold into the cylinders. I would prefer a direct port that fires right into the cylinders, but I already had a dry kit. I just got my high flow filter off ebay today. it works better than stock, but its no big deal. but every little bit helps.
