Pics? what pics.
so this is my show and shine.
i wrecked a s14 zenki a while back. some might remember.(autotragic)
so i yanked the engine, bought a 89 coupe shell (2 tone status) a manual tranny, all required ingredients, and made myself a cake. well im a dumbass, so i forgot a bunch of stuff. like.. oh, that ground there, and this here... so i ended up frying my ecu. so i just recently bought a new ecu, and after 6 months of downtime, got my skank running.
my lack of mod's list.
steelies.
mishimoto radiator
3 inch intake (its like 7 inches long.)
egay headers.
3 inch catback with 4.5 inch tip
removed power steering
removed air conditioning.
removed anything related to emissions.
removed clutch fan
removed bumper support (guy before me had sr)
and thats about it.
i have yet to do wire tuck, should take me about 3-4 hours to make it alot cleaner. lengthen some here, tuck it there, you get the idea.
the old and the new
when i bought it.
pulled engine, cleaned, painted intake mani, removed everything possible.
valve cover painted
first attempt at a wire tuck... eww.
engine in, not running.
egay header vs. old mani
header installed.
then i finally got it running.
still can stand in the engine bay. lol.
i made a custom My Melody shift boot.
and My Melody key chain (its acutally a kids toy. whatever.)

funny story.
i was at advance, buying a new o2 sensor, when this guy in some 4 door mercury (stock ride height, stock wheels, stock body,) comes in. i take a look at his car, i see a huge aluminum wing, and a big fart can muffler. he asks me what kind of car i have, i said 240sx. the ricer said that he has never heard of it. i ask him what kind of exhaust he has, and he said "huh?, oh thats just a muffler" i giggled, and he was like "it gets the job done" what job? i ask. he responds by asking me to race.... haha... i told him, no... i dont race people. especially mercury's with a wing and a muffler. lol.
