Raebird So I bought this 88' 240gl with an M45 off @Justian to replace the S70, I decided I wanted to get back into a manual RWD car, after a bit of searching found this one for the right price. The plan for it is a track car (primarily drifting) that I can daily drive, it needs a fair bit of maintenance to get it back on the road, so I will start there then move onto performance modifications. It was pretty dark by the time I finished moving cars about, so didn't get to fiddle with it much yet, but first 'mod' was the wheels and adaptors off of the S70.
Vee_Que The way I understood it, the s70 was just a daily, so to replace it with a project car seems odd unless the s70 was out of rego.
Raebird This one is silver, might possibly be a different colour by the time it's on the road, but I'm down for tandems!

Raebird Freshened the front up with a touch of black paint. Weekend race cars need tunes too! Got a set of extractors for all the horsepower ? Also got a dodgy eBay cup holder because all my other cars have cup holders and I'm used to having somewhere to put my beverage.
Vee_Que Wow, that's a lot of stereo gear for a car that is meant to be a race car. The amp seems excessive! As do 500w speakers to be fair. What's the rms on them?

What's the rms on them? 70RMS, I like sound quality with my stereo's, I feel like this is fairly conservative. I could've put another amplifier, component speakers and subs in an enclosure to make it excessive...
Vee_Que Wow. All that extra Weight! The stock head units are pretty good now from jvc for controlling up to 40wrms I find and I can never run my stereo loud enough for it to distort before my ears hurt... We definitely have different ideas for track cars.

I'm amazed that you know how heavy it is by looking at a photo ? I'm confident it won't impact the cars performance to greatly.
