Well as low and far back as i have the motor sitting in the car it fits REALLY good. i can literally have the trans on the floor out of the car in 15-20 mins.

great work blake im a import fan to the end but great work is great work no matter what
Wow. Just, wow.
On a side note, i didn't think that import board was all that bad. There's always a few morons. Just like one guy on there said, "the LS1 people are probably saying what a waste of a good engine!"
Great job, man. Looks sooo killer.

true ignorant statement. its sad you have the mentality of a 16 year old, just judging by how you run your mouth sir.
oh yea and i also drive a 240. so yea. let me go hop in my "civic" BRAH. right back at ya. and what would you know about drifting? all you can do now is go straight.

since you asked,
240s have great balance, they are cheap sports cars with 50/50 balance. its a perfect car for drift/ road race. of course the work done is astonishing by proportions but it that just question "why" pops up.
like i said to each its own. just hurts my heart to see another all "drag" 240. just going straight ruins that car. but thats my opinion. i used to drag before i got into drifting pretty hardcore 2 years ago and im never going back, just dont see a challenge as a driver. its just plainly boring after a while.
but there are people out there who like to drag and thats fine. i just said my opinion.
everyone has their own flavor. i didnt say that the car was ****, it took a great deal of work. just not setup for what I like. to me its no different than going rb26 and then doing big single turbo... just not fun for me Last edited by sar; Sep 22, 2007 at 10:45 PM.

I know myself and quite a few others think the sliding is cool but for the most part its
I said that because its my opinion and im entitled to it.....We can go around and round in circles with this.....
Lets try and keep it on topic for the thread starter who posted this for those who enjoy it.

So, if I follow the logic as posted, it's a "bad chassis to drag" because the poster *likes the 50/50 ballance of the car* and *has become bored with drag racing*. THAT makes it a bad chassis to drag. FACT OF LIFE: Trolls will always attempt to spice up a forum with negativity. Let's face it all forms of racing have their enjoyable aspects. I think the key to a good swap is workmanship with WHATEVER body style floats your boat. The vehicle in question looks well done in the pics. That is one sweet looking ride into which a great deal of time and thought was invested. I personally favor yakee sheet matal but drool with envy looking at that project. There will always be the guy at a car show who points out the spec of dirt on a lug nut, and can't appreciate the overall content or concepts, unless they directly relate to HIS interests at the moment. Fols with no room for concepts that might run couter to your tastes. Life is much richer the other way around. To the original poster: Keep up the great work! - mv

Amen.
I've dealt with purist like that since the day I started my car. We already understand, Its not "JDM tyte yo" we dont care, we've heard it over and over. Its HIS thread, so leave your negative comments out of it. When you decide to post your own thread on another forum, believe me, we wont waste the time to flame you and your car
Being done with that, can you tell us the specs of the motor and what you plan on running?
