Hello to all. I have been looking at this site from time to time and figured I would post some pics of my car. It is just your usual 240 with TME springs and Bilstein shocks. Nothing too major as of yet but look foward to modding this car with what I have, at least I keep it clean. Any input would be appreciated, holla at ya boy!!

Damn that thing is gorgeous!
I think you should grab a few engine mods, just mild stuff like a cam (A, maybe K cam?) and a new air filter and a catback (Or just take off the rear muffler and S-pipe) and that should leave you pretty good for a while.
For suspension I'd say get some sways and make or buy some support bars.
It looks like its gonna be a great project!

YES! Another 240 with chrome on it! Sweet car man. I really like that color. Ever thought about painting your rear turnsignals red?

Thanks for the replys. Yeah, I want to get something started in Orlando besides the once a year get togethers that the VCOA puts on. It would be cool to ride around with some fellow brickheads, maybe someday we will get our stuff straight. Oh yeah, I thought about the red tails "mod", I will probably get around to it sometime.

Wicked clean man! I like that blue, with just the right amount of chrome. All I'd do is tint the windows and lop off the "S" tailpipe, and go cruisin' for women!!!

your car is remarkably clean. the only suggestions i have would be to black out some of that chrome and try some clear turn signals.

...black out some of that chrome... Hell noes! I've got much respect for my chromed out bretheren.
...try some clear turn signals. Hell yeahs!
And doug, I'm nominating that post a few posts up for "Most random post ever in recent memory."
Very nice ride, bluesteel. I'm diggin it.

looking good man... if ya feel like painting the front spoiler and potentially the bumpers body colour it would look pretty pimp.. but damn it looks great now..

Damn, you got me. It's also a male enhancement pill. *cough* From what I've heard, of course.
Back on topic I go!
