I recently purchased my 5th 240 and have frequented NICO for some many years now (I kept the same name).

She is a turbo KADE Mostly stock with 3in turbo back exhaust. .63 ar turbonetics turbo kit and front mount IC. Brought her home from Memphis TN to Wisconsin. The cleanliness was a huge deciding factor.
She doesn't seem to be building much boost right now. The waste gate seems to be opening up much to early, even though an 8lb spring is said to be installed. I am in the process of installing the AEM UEGO and boost gauge that she came with. There aren't enough holes in the S14 firewall lol, I went through the factory wiring grommet on the driver side. I'm looking to mount the two gauges in the ash tray location. A walbro 255 will come next.

The engine has 130 some thousand miles and sounds healthy (made the 600 mile drive home no problem).

The tires are heavily dry rotted and the wheels are a very high offset. I would like to run wider than the 215 (a 235) that are on them (17x7.5), but in order to do so I would have to purchase $300 worth of ichiba spacers. I found a set of 17x9 +20 wheels (mesh style, I love mesh style) for a great price and am looking to run 245/40 all around. I'm only a couple inches lower than factory and don't plan to change the suspension to an adjustable coil over as I will be putting a few miles on this car (80 to and from work), thus comfort and the want to run the same size all around for rotation purpose come in to play. I have found that I shouldn't have an issue and may even want to run a small spacer in the rear.

Well, here are some pics:

I look forward to driving my first S14 to it's max!

I gets a lot better after you read the section rules and the stickies at the top. I mean, how hard is that to miss?
