Import Driver acceptable?
we hate rice not imports. there is a big difference.
Slo240sx- I have been thinking about putting a ls1 in a 240, always loved those cars. is it worth the hassle on getting it in or any pointers.

hey thanks a lot for your compliments fellas! i know it sounds gay but i really do appreciate it.
oh and to clarify. i am not complaining about $400 / 6 months.. i was complaining about my truck insurance that was 900 / 6 months. I LOVE 400 / 6 MONTHS. i got quoted on a z28 and a ws6 and it was 1100 / 1300 per 6 months on the plan i'm on..
So yeah, once i graduate in 3 or 4 semesters its torque-a-rama.
And yea i think its funny because its a common misconception ( or atleast i perceive it as being one) .. even on the import sight i am subscribed to (www.honduh.com - primarily 98-02 accords ) we make fun of rice. It seems the whole automotive community makes fun of rice and the only ones that dont know it... are the rice.
End rant.

I'm just working on a new motor, 400/400 is my goal and that will just have to do it til i graduate school, i guess 342 sounds like a whole bunch to 127.9 though maybe i should learn to be happy with what i have? Nah! lol

$100 a month? $450 in 6 months?? you're all damn lucky you don't live here in NJ. For my 02 Ram Air, plus my 05 Colorado, I pay $350 for 9months, for over $3100 per year. That's including being on a family insurance, long time customers, multiple vehicle discount, and the TA being listed as a 'pleasure vehicle'. This is by far the worst state in the nation for insurance.

thanks gluemaker.
EchoMirage : yea i'm pretty sure oklahoma is like the lowest income (on average) state.
Cost of living is lower.. but so is our income.. i make 9.50 an hour and work very part time and make more than a lot of my friends do working almost full time.

Black01_WS6, There are a couple of threads concerning the 240 LS1 swap. To be totally honest I think its gonna be easy I just do a whole **** load of homework so I'm not stuck sitting there wondering what to do.
BOSS APPROVED!
Welcome, Man! You are not the only one.
This it how it looks when you own cars which are based on completely different engineering philosophies:
Yupp, my '01 SS and my '04 Jetta GLI. Pretty zippy for a four banger with a small turbo. And I love 'em both.
By the way: update on the SS. Hotcam and a 100 shot.
370 hp, 357tq na.
468 hp, 505tq on spray. That thing hauls ***. Unfortunately my clutch has an extremely difficult time now. Any recommendations as far as uprades go, guys??
