Car is looking good, I run the same JDM body kit on mine except I'm running the Zenki skirts.

The 2nd gear on a stock T56 is actually the same ratio as first in a powerglide so I'm thinking that might be best for my setup. My motor makes 400ft/lb of torque at just over 2000 so it has plenty to get it going with the higher ratio. I'll be interested to see what the LS2 does on spray in your chassis. How much are you going to hit it with?

here you go, the music sucks but its a video. converter was way to lose back then, left at 5k off the trans brake only 1.6 60s. after this day cms pulled the tranny to swap out the converter and also found out the converter was broken anyways and it still ran 11.4 all motor.. 2nd run broke a axle cause my dumb *** friend forgot to tighten the axle bolt!!

yea, the jdm kit is the best for these car, but I have the Autech front bumper its hard to tell in that picture but the bumper lights are different and nobody else has it over here.. look at the first 5 seconds of the video and you will see what im talking about

try it out, it might work out for the best but if you can get first gear to hook its gonna be nasty!

150 or 175 not sure yet.. i wanna go 9s so what ever it takes..

Damn thats looks SO GOOD.
I miss my black '97 S14 so much, I should've kept it and swapped, damn it!
LOL, man you will not only smoke some Hondas at the strip, you will have far much more fun on the drive home when you can wag your tail end out at will, whenever and wherever you please, its one of the best perks from an LSx swap!

congrats man, what a superb build.

I love 240SX's. I'm a sucker for a "Sileighty" S15 front-end conversion.

And thanks

Why would they talk **** about this thing? Lemme guess, something along the lines of "Dude the weight is all thrown off!!!" or maybe trying to convince you that the heavier, pricier, less powerfull RB was superior in every way?
