1000+whp 2jz with a glide. Good for 8.80s.


Kinda funny that fb rx7 started life with no pistons and ended life with no pistons.

yea the Blue 240sx is Jason Ramikisson car.. Its tuned down and runs 8.8's all day long..

my 240 is down at the moment.. I broke a rod 2 weeks ago testing for IFO and am saving up cash to build a monster motor..

The quality pics were mostly due to my moms camera that she lets me borrow.. its a Cannon D50? its pretty bad ass.. I like action shots and like pictures of people as well all in all a great place to take pictures..

Damn dude, I missed that. I saw you shredded all the turbine blades off the turbo but didn't know how it happened; I kinda figured that a turbo swap later and it'd be ready (like 15mins for you, right?). Sorry to hear about the car dude.

No, that wasn't the pic; I can't remember which one it was (I looked for it yesterday, with no luck), but it was a close-up of a turbo with no blades on the wheel (at least that is what it looked like and what my quick glance at the discussion in the comments led me to believe). You have a pic, from that car, with a close-up on the turbo, but I don't think that is the pic I saw either as there weren't 30 comments following it discussing the turbo. When I did see the pic I thought was your car's turbo, I glanced at it, then read a few of the comments to see what was going on, I didn't give it much attention; just saw that you posted it and thought it was your car (since you posted it, or so I thought). Perhaps it was someone else that posted at about the same time as you, I'm not sure.

That pic you just posted, is that the Integra that ran an 8.98 @ 167 then crashed into the wall? This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWzgpnlDkKQ
