    Normally it's just a small tube, and there may not be space for it to fit, but I'd rather have a filter over it than nothing.

    Looks like it was quite the headache. I have never seen a breather on the transmission before.

    I've had an M2W4 that I bought from a friend a while back that had bad synchronizers just lying around fro quite some time and recently I acquired an M2S4 that wouldn't go into reverse. I, being the brave technician I am, decided to split them open and make one good transmission. After some playing around I found my issue and got it back together tonight.

    Did a bit of work on the car this past week. Swapped in my ESP 5 speed mount and t bracket as well as some Energy Suspension tension rod bushings. Now the car chirps hard into second and feels much more solid. Also changed around the intake configuration and changed it from 2 3/4 inch diameter to 3 inch. The car sounds a little more aggressive now.

    I paid $30 a panel but I wish I had gone with a more professional place.

    All I did was cut the rear section out so it didn't go past the taillights. Other than that, direct fit.

    I want an S13 just to put the rocket bunny kit on it! I never thought about putting the rocket bunny spoiler on a CB. It's so aggressive but it flows surprisingly well!

    I too am interested in this information... I don't want to say I'm going to copy you but I'm honestly looking into it.
    I've wanted a 240 myself but I have the truck now and it's close enough for me given that it has a boosted ka24 under the hood.

    As far as the spoiler goes, by all means go for it. I was the first one to do it and that's all I was really looking for so I don't mind if others emulate my look.

    Thanks for the props H311RA151N. While I like going in a different direction with my build, it's cool to know that there are other people out there that like it as well.

    That GIF makes it look slower than what it actually was. Still, thanks for posting it Kev.

    Haven't posted a picture in a while so here's the only current rolling shot I have. Played with photoshop a bit so the balances might be a little off.

    If done correctly it will just peel off. Just need to make sure it's layed down thick. otherwise it's a pain in the ass remove because it will flake off as opposed to peel.

    Have it vinyl wrapped. Then do your graphics on top of the vinyl. Just a suggestion.

    Thanks for the compliments man! There are a few more mods I have planned to really bring the style out with the build.

    I've been thinking about a solid color recently but it's hard to pinpoint what I would be okay with. I really like the contrast of the black on the Seattle silver. The only color I feel I could stand for a while would be matte green, but even then it would be broken up with some kind of graphics. Eventually though I'd probably go back to Seattle silver.
