History & Background
I'm proud to say I've installed all the mentioned parts myself, some w/ great people, (Bill, Estevan, Jerry, Dan) at the auto shop I have access to or in parking lots. Exhaust welding and tuning I leave to Scott (Enthalpy).

I never had worked on cars before. The internet and factory service manual have given me all the knowledge I need for performance part installation and maintenance.

Having a small community of 240 lovers is great because we help each other out. I've installed parts and fixed other peoples' cars many times. If you have the capacity to serve others, do so. The rewards are priceless!

The Tampa area is rich with modified 240s, mostly SR20s swapped in by great shops like XAT and Secret Services.

The car was built first to support autocross racing. All my suspension, brakes, & cooling upgrades came prior to boosting the car. It's sad to see boosted 240s on HMWWV suspension and puny brakes.
