What I was trying to say it that people try to mimic the japanese tuner look but then you still tell it was done by a american tuner

HYPNOTIK · 05-27-2009, 03:49 PM

Just curious, what tires will you be running?

Andrew @ 240sxMotoring · 05-27-2009, 03:57 PM

We're getting Hoosier R6
295's in the rear and 275's up front.

turbo_dreams · 05-28-2009, 07:18 AM

Is this still being powered by a ka-t? When are you guys throwing another meet? I'm determined to win this years ziptie trophy lol

Andrew @ 240sxMotoring · 05-28-2009, 08:06 AM

Yessir, it's still a KA-T.

Stay tuned to our website in the next few weeks. We'll be announcing details on this years meet soon!

*kognition* · 05-28-2009, 08:39 AM

Look's great Andrew!
I like the color scheme. Also, i wish i could offer you some of my new stuff right now... full widebody kit, but it is in mold making stage right now. I wanted to say that with the alumalite, try to keep the splitter leading edge down to 3 or 3.5". Because unless it is balls to the wall secured with a good fabbed frame, it will vibrate in the right situation. And just be sure to plan for an effective air flow path under the car if you go with an alumalite diffuser. G.L. with the build, and maybe i will see you guys out there when i am filming for timeattack.tv

*kognition* · 06-04-2009, 09:32 AM

Good choice, it will last a bit longer.
