I'm excited to get a VW and get started on it. I'm going to need something to keep me occupied once this one is done.

[iadubber]

That car is the sh!t Joe! Oh, veedubs will def. keep you occupied. I wish I could keep both of mine.

[S13FREEAAK]

Thanks.

Yeah I can't wait to drive her again.

The Vdub won't be as intense of a build as this, more of a fast/fun daily.

[DSV]

This thing is crazy! I love that body style for the 240. The Silvia front end will be really mean looking on there. :twisted:

[turboA4]

wow man that is soooo crazy!!!! looks awesome

[stollen]

You need a bigger front mount intercooler :D

Seriously tho, that thing is huge....

[dub1.8t]

Looks like a sweet project car! How much HP are you going for?

[S13FREEAAK]

Looks like a sweet project car! How much HP are you going for?

I'll be shooting for 500-550whp to begin with. Then once I get used to it again I'll turn it up alittle.


And the front mount is only 4" thick :D

[justin]

Were you still looking for a mk3? I am debating selling mine.

It is a obd1 vr6, perferct for turbo because obd1's have forged bottom ends.

Let me know, ill send some pics.

[Head at JJperf]

That remindes me I need to build the new Cyl Head for my SR

[Kelso]

Wow! Very nice, ive always been a fan of the 240's.

hmm news to me. i know the obdI aba motors have forged pistons and rods never heard this of a vr6 but then again ill check it out since i have two obdI vr6's sitting in my garage right now. the pistons are defintly cast not forged i can say that for sure. obdII vr6's are acctualy the better choice for turbo with the chip tuning that avalible right now. C2 offers a nice 630cc injector tune for obdII cars.

[Black86gti]

any way not to draw away from the 240 is that a sr or a KA? my buddys swaping in a 1jz into his s14

[S13FREEAAK]

Its a KA, and my brother did most of the cage, and welding on your buddies S14. I've also helped out with the S14.

[Black86gti]

gotcha i was gonna ask if you knew dave. i knew hes had his car up in Dubuque a few times but didnt know any thing more than that.

[S13FREEAAK]

Yep, its been at my brothers shop a few times.

[Head at JJperf]

[SDKmann]

Nice wheel! And even nicer wheel holder!

[cadwiz]

lOVE THAT CAR HOW LONG HAS IT TAKEN YOU TO GET WHERE YOU ARE NOW?

[S13FREEAAK]

Well the car has ben an ongoing project for 4 years. But the major part of it has been going on for 1.5 years.

[SirRangeALot]

I wish I was as car savvy as you obviously are, nice job! :tu:

[S13FREEAAK]

[DSV]

Are those both yours??????? :eek:

I love the FC and the 240.

Where do you work at again? I think I need a new job! lol :laugh:

[S13FREEAAK]

The FC is my brothers.

I work at Turpin Dodge, in the parts department. But my brother and I are in the process of starting Diversified Peformance Innovations (DPI for short).

[SDKmann]

Nice! What does the RX7 have in it?

[S13FREEAAK]

sr20det with HKS gt2540r, full cage, 50mm overfenders. Enkei RPF1s 17x10 up front 18x10.5 rears.

[SDKmann]

Damn, japanese has never sounded so good. Those are some nice cars you guys have.

[S13FREEAAK]

Haha, Thanks. Incase you couldn't tell I'm a jap car guy at heart.

[SirRangeALot]

I work at Turpin Dodge, in the parts department.

Ha, that's funny. My dad worked there in the parts department when it was still Wilson Brothers for 12 years. I also worked there for my first job (washing cars), my cousin was a mechanic there for a few years, my uncle also worked in the service department and another uncle was the sales manager there for years until he went to Brad Deery.

Yeah, it was a family affair for a few years. :laugh:

You guys probably won't like it, but functionality is cool. The GT wing mounted.

It's actually functional on your car, now if it was on a honduh fanbois car I would have to engage in flame throwing. :)

[S13FREEAAK]

The tails are tinted, the third brake light will be removed. I think it will go nicely with the color, vinyl combo.

[DSV]

This is going to be one kick ass car. Believe or not, I like the GT wing on there. For one, it doesn't look like the run-of-the-mill erector set variety, so you know you mean business. Plus, on a car like this, it will actually be a functional part.

Also, I love the flares, smoked lighting, wheels, front bumper, paint....everything. Imports are where I got my start into cars and as much as I love my German metal I would kill for a built Sil-80. :drive:

Haha, I have both of those.

Same here. I've got the entire anime of Initial D plus the live action movie back from my days when I owned the Honda. :drive:
