Hi, welcome to TR!!! :wave: I miss NY soooo much, but I like the warm down here. Definately need to check out Ybor when you come down if you like clubs. Race night is Saturday night. Everyone hangs out around the Gandy Bridge. You cant miss all the cars hangin around if you come out.

thanks =], the Z rims are a temporary solution since my old rims wouldnt clear the Z brakes and SE rims seemed impossible to find when i did the swap.

I live in East Islip =], the move is work related, and the fact that I just need to get away for awhile.

yeah they are, i wish i could've kept both, my mostly stock 240 feels sooooo slow compared to my RS, i had about every bolt on for the RS

You should check out the Subaru Tech forum as well as the Nissan Tech Froum.

What kinds of bolt-on's did you have done? I have cat-back exhaust, intake, and underdrive pullies. It's run a 15.5 in the 1/4, but I'd like to do some more minor things to help it out.

I had borla headers, greddy evo cat-back, injen CAI, pro-ecm chip and a cobb short shifter, i also had clear everything including jdm tails =], i ran a 15.5 at the worst track on the worst day to run, I coudlve easly ran a ~14.9 with those mods. BTW I still have the cat back, rims and tires, pro-ecm chip and front strut bar from my RS if you know anyone whos looking, all the parts were used for 4months or less. PM me if your interested.
