Default The 240 is gone

Philly Blunt picked mine up today, I now am riding around in air conditioned goodness: 91 Talon TSi FWD. Not exactly what I wanted, but the car is clean and the air blows ICE cold. It has poly mounts so it's a bit vibratey (is that even a word?) and needs to have the timing fiddled with. It'll work for now as it drives straight, rides great and has decent power for stock boost.

As for the 240, I will miss her dearly. I'm very sad about it's departure, but the call of boost and A/C was too much for me to resist in my old age. Farewell old friend.

*moment of silence*

Good luck with the DSM. AC is a must this time of year.

Most definately. This is a "means to an end" kind of car. A/C will help me look nice when I am applying to jobs. I can't show up to an interview drenched in sweat, smelling like oil (strangely this one doesnt burn it or drip it...hope I didn't curse myself).

The end goal is a stock appearing Zenki 240 with "stuffs" as the kids say.

It'll make it's debut tomorrow, all so fresh and so clean clean. I've already detailed the outside, getting ready to put another coat of wax on her right now. I kinda dig the white. Pics to follow.

These were taken before the 2nd and 3rd coat of wax. She cleans up really well. I am happy.

A/C is great and a concept that I almost forgot about. It's still hard to drive around with it on with that open downpipe 16g spooling. Such a great sound to hear again.
