It's been sitting since mid November. It's at my parents house in NY and I'm at school in MI. I'm going home fri to get it. My Dad goes out and pushes it backward in 5th gear every other day to slosh the ATF around. I've heard to leave it in as long as possible.... I read about some guy on this forum let his car stew in ATF all winter long while in storage.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Too bad I don't have a 2nd car as a daily driver yet (Still haven't gone out to pick one out). When I get one, I'll probably let mine sit longer. I borrowed Dad's truck when I did it and let mine sit for 3 days. Good luck.

For info on the "ATF trick," go to www.mazspeed.com and go to the "Facts" section, and then to "ATF facts."

I like how the one side marker is hanging by the wire.

Maybe it's the equvalent of that little braided piece of hair the Jedi's wore in the new starwars movies.

And the fact that the bumper doesn't line up with the fender.

Thats because the kit was designed for a Toyota Supra.

I think he would say it has moved from the extremely high downforce the kit provides. The bumper actually broke the TITANIUM brackets that were provided for this kit and the titanium screws that hold the turn signal are not strong enough either. So he's having some magnesium-titanium alloy brackets and screws fabricated in Japan.

The wing is next. It's a custom 4' quadruple deck spoiler, made out of the same titanium-magnesium alloy, that will aid in downforce on those high speed runs. You need all that downforce on the back to match the force provided on the front. DUH!!

poor ricers

Boy that car looks.....terrific.... Needs more stickers though. The only way to tell it's a 240sx is from the back end.
