How does the ACT clutch/flywheel act on the 240s?

 

I honestly don't know, this is my first ACT on a 240, the clutch is SPEC which I've used in the past. I liked the ACT clutch and flywheel on my old Galant VR4 though, so if it's similar to that setup, it should just be a slight increase in pedal stiffness.

 

I wonder if they have lockout issues like some Evos encounter. I liked my ACT 6puck when i had it though.

Can you post a full mod list of the 240 when your done? I would like to see for research sake

 

Not a problem. I'm not doing any real power adder mods at this time, and was planning on compiling a full list soon anyways. I also changed my mind on the color today, she's "supposed" to get painted this weekend finally, and I went with Toyotas Thunder Cloud Metallic instead of Lemans Blue.

 

Should end up looking pretty nice.

If I ever decide to get a 240 i wouldnt do anything to crazy power wise. Just enough to get/keep the tires loose for those drifs and powrslides

 

Holy $#!*, my 240sx is FINALLY in the paint booth. Gonna get crackin' reassembling the engine/trans, and pulling parts off of the donor car this weekend.

 

Thats whats up.Looking forward to updates.

 

First two base coats are on, 3 more to go, then clear and buffing. Progress, it's crazy.

 

what is that? a beige or silver?

 

My friend finished rebuilding and restoring his 180sx a few months ago, and entered it in our areas annual car show. I recognize those paint booth photos haha here's his:



Finished



Same color??? Can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

It's silver, looks a little beige because of the epoxy sealer underneath. That's just the first two of 5 coats, to be followed by clear and buffing. The final color will look like the car below. Toyota 1d2 "Thundercloud Metallic".

 

The yellowed fluorescent lighting doesn't help, Once she's out of the booth I'll get some quick snaps in sunlight with my good camera, these pics don't do the color justice.

 

That is a nice color... many rim options can go with that.
