plenty of times?

where?

and who is using goat headers?

for someone arguing in a thread claiming knowledge, please enlighten me. i have a "bolt on" s chassis kit that was a prototype, and if i could use gto headers id love to.

what im saying is, you dont seem to know what you are actually talking about, so pics/links or bs.

you make no sense.

here is waht you said

the kit for a 240 with ls1 has been done plenty of times.
where? whos cars? what cars? i call bullshit. as far as i konw, adn ive searched a lot there are 6 completed ls1 240sx's in teh country.

1. mine - modded hinson kit - still a stock 240
2. alex guys - 100% custom - but still stock s chassis somewhat
3. lime green/black s14 that lives on ebay for the last 2 years - custom redneck spl
4. yalls - custom kit - tube frame car
5. hinson s14 - still a stockish 240
6. dont remember where i saw it s14. - custom kit, nowhere near stock anything though.

i fail to see plenty of times kit. please enlighten me. this is 2006, the internet is a great search tool, good luck searching for truth to your assumption.

they use goat headers i believe and i think a goat pan
ill give you 5/10 here. its common knowledge that the gto pan is front sump, but as to what creatures **** orphus you pulled using stock gto headers on, i cannot comment on the enima of information. i will give you partial credit if you can find a car using altered stock gto headers, although not stock ill give you partial credit.

and i was on the build team and also the driver so i woudl knwo first hand
the driver doesnt know what the **** is going on 1/2 the time. i sure as **** dont, thats why im the damn driver. waht exactly did you do on the build team? would you like a cookie? how about a ******* from a 5 dollar ***** so you can tell everyone how big a pimp you are too?

please.

i do believe the company was hindsen[sp]
we actually used fbody headers, passenger side fit with some minor massaging of tubes and frame rail passenger side tubes moved around to help with steering rack

what didnt i do for the build? for the last 2 weeks especially the last week i was there along with Jeff and Jay.

and your last comment you flex net muscles way to go

actually its hinson. hinsonsupercars.com . so let me get this straight, they sent you a free kit for tv and you didnt use it or put a sticker on the car? great ethic on your car. i at least kept the stickers and what they gave me on there, not to say im a fan of it though.

pics please? you know, for someone who "built the car" you sure must have paid a lot of attention to it.

you know theres this movie out right now, called talladega nights, the ballad of ricky bobby. theres a line in that movie that says "ricky bobby is not a thinker, ricky bobby is a driver" those are the wildest stock fbody headers ive ever seen. you sure they arent the gto headers everyone else is using? i mean plenty of cars have this swap using stock goat headers.... haha

well, for someone doing MASSIVE hating on the ENTIRE build i would guess you didnt do a lot. that or else you hate your own work, which says a lot. im pretty damn sure you had nothing to do with the headers, exhaust, or much anything relating to the headers, steering, or motor install at all though, judging by waht you claim as stock fbody headers with some massaging.

and your last comment you flex net muscles way to go
i also have a 2'' *****. whats your point?
