Wow, six hours and 11 minutes later. What happened?

PSI240SX · 10-01-2001, 01:28 PM

I found the boost leak!! I ran it at 20psi last night and could not keep it on the road, I was so sideways in second, I had to let off, couldn't steer out of it. Going back to the track on wednesday night.

Rcs476 · 10-01-2001, 01:49 PM

Glad your happy again. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

PSI240SX · 10-02-2001, 04:45 PM

not very many probs at all, just little things. My compression is 8.5:1   My leak was right after the turbo, my I/C pipe came completely out, thats when I knew it was leaking the whole time.

**West** · 10-02-2001, 05:16 PM

hehehe... I love how us Turbo People have stupid problems with our cars and decide to sell it after we dump all our $ into it. Im the same way. :biggrin:

Glad your not selling it though.

Zexel · 10-02-2001, 05:59 PM

omg!!! sorry this is so off the subject, but since we're talking about buying/selling our cars here.  went to Taco Bueno tonight, well there is a car sales place right next to it.  there was a beautiful red 1995 240 SX SE, grey interior.  no leather, but it was sooooo clean!!  made me want to get one even more than I already do.  man I can't wait until next summer.  I'm pretty sure my parents will agree and let me get one then.  I'll be around 17 when I get one.  but oh my gosh, it was beautiful!!!!!

mrace240sx · 10-02-2001, 06:29 PM

Thank God PSI!
I typed up a pretty long message last night to express my disbelief, but then decided not to post it because hey.. its your car.
I keep showing your site to people who dont understand what I am doing to my car, I go to your site and say.. THAT is where my car is going.

So I am glad to hear you arent selling it, #### I called a buddy of mine last night too, and asked him if he could get some money together and go in on it with me and buy your car just so some moron ricer didnt get it LOL.
So you are saving me money <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Good luck with the car and get some times up for us!
I cant wait to see the results of your time and money so I know what awaits.

Congrats on not selling that beautiful specimen of a 240!!  Your car is everything my car wishes it could be!  Keep up the good work.

Zexel · 10-03-2001, 11:21 AM

just curious, sorry off the subject AGAIN.  but when I looked on the inside of that 240, it lookedl ike it had a TINY backseat.  the comment that I made was, who gives a ####?? I won't be sitting in the back, but ya know.  I was just curious, thanks for any comments about it.

vancouvers14 · 10-03-2001, 07:25 PM

the s14 has a back seat?!?

96SEChick · 10-03-2001, 09:01 PM

lol @ back seat comment

It's just big enough to fit my windshield sun-shade.  I'm glad I don't have to try to fit a carseat in it.

Zexel · 10-03-2001, 09:05 PM

haha.  hey 96sechick, where have you been??  I haven't seen you around the forum lately.

96SEChick · 10-04-2001, 12:01 AM

I've been working a lot.  Been too tired to post (seriously).  I've even been going 2 days w/o checking the forum.  The "Real Life" sucks sometimes!!!  I really appreciate your concern though.  It makes me feel a better ;-)

Thanks Zexel

Yeah, if you're a double amputee. Shit, their can't be more than 8" of legroom back there, and that's if your basically hugging the steering wheel.

PSI240SX · 10-04-2001, 09:56 PM

Well thanx for your concerns guys, I feel the love.  Well I have been back to the track and still not happy at all. But only because my clutch wont hold. I have an ACT street that is rated at 287 lb./ft. of torque, atleast I know I'm over that. I heat the tires up in the burnout, leave at 4500rpms and my tires dont spin, my clutch just slips. I did beat 2 SS camaros, a Trans Am, and a C5 Corvette at the track, my best run was 13.3@ 107 Call me GMKiller haha. I know once I get a new clutch the car will run 12's, but it's not a designated drag car, I love to autocross and roadrace.

Zexel · 10-05-2001, 03:12 PM

haha that's a very good point krunko.  we're in Oklahoma hear so you gosta give us a break!!  but 96sechick, I just noticed that you posted and haven't been lately, so I was just curious.  welcome

Nismo Tom · 10-08-2001, 12:29 PM

10-08-2001, 03:48 PM

PSI240SX · 10-09-2001, 09:57 PM
