Oh yeah and btw, the installation instructions also state to NEVER use any platinum plugs.

depends on what size jet u are running. I say stick with stock unless u are using a 75 shot, then i suggest going one range colder. Never use platinum tiped plugs cuz they tend to foul easily with spray. I have also heard that splitfire plugs and n2o don't mix.

You just felt like nitpicking a comment, assuming that I wasn't aware of how n2o works.....to try and make yourself look "cool-er".
Freedom of speech indeed. You keep acting like f*cktard, and I'll just keep being right.

Other than that, it's silly. You can come back with all sorts of wise *** replies you want but judging by the looks of your car, you don't seem to be a big racer. When you get into real racing, then i'll take your word for it.

Wow....now there's something for you to relate to.
So lemme get this str8:
1. Get owned by a chick
2. Run out of ideas
3. slam on the ENTIRE state and hope that the geography of America changes
Is anyone else lost here?
Seriously though...howbout we just lay off it already. This has gone way off topic and resorting to insults isn't gonna do anyone any good (even though I must admit you kinda left yourself open for that last one, and I just couldn't resist, sorry).
I'm just here to be helpful, because I know there's a lack of info. and experience especially when it comes to cars like ours that are different than the predesessors (sp?). Howbout gettin' back to that? 'Cause brushin' up on our flaming skills aint gonna help anyone out.

I'm always down for a little racing. Problem is that you live waaaaaaay north and the furthest i'm going to drive is to Moroso. I'm not big on long trips. And if racing me doesn't cure your itch, i'll have more cars for you to race. Don't worry, i won't set you up with turbo Mustangs or anything. All four bangers. Can't wait to see your face when you get torn up.

He cant get back to the actual topic because he apparently doesnt have any useful information to put in. Instead he would rather try to fight with a girl because his ego just got bruised.

Rep Power: 0 Here are instructions directly from companies on HOW TO use their nitrous systems:
NX
http://www.nitrousexpress.com/Instructions/stage1.pdf
Scroll down to "Testing and Using the System" and you will find:
"Arm the system with the cockpick N2O arming switch. Gently launch the vehicle, gradually accelerating to wide open throttle."
Venom Nitrous
http://www.venom-performance.com/nf/...tallmanual.pdf
Scroll down to page 6 to "System Operation"
There you have the basic nitrous system and a computer controlled system.
Keep in mind that your way works also with the basic kits but it's not how it's SUPPOSED to be used.

Rep Power: 0 I think SpdRcrChk told me Moroso was about 1hr away from the Miami area....thats not too too bad. I have to drive the about the same distance to get to Bradenton Speedway. Lakeland isnt too far away but would probably take about the same amount of time as well.

240sx + turbokit > singlecam civic + turbokit
My motor makes more power stock, has more displacement, holds more boost than yours... on a bigger turbo, RWD. Unless you make a run for it now and start building a bottom end and slap on a standalone, your odds really aren't good.
And please don't feel threatened by my comment about finding you other cars to run. This was just so you wouldn't get bored. I'm not going to call you a ***** for not running them. Afterall, this **** is between us.
Oh and BTW, i don't know if you mispelled it or not but i'm not a redneck.

cool. and i totally agree that ur car is faster. my best friend in orlando has the same car. with a sr20det, the motor is completly stock and i run past him... simply because that car is extremly heavy. Ill admit.. at about 60 or so he starts coming back.. but its too late by then.
see now if everyone could take notice to the conversation Miami and i are having....
we're both **** talking eachother, making valid points etc....
This is what u call a GROWN up discussion kids...
if half u people on this site knew what it was to argue and have a debate with someone without turnin into a five year old this would be a much better site.

Who does this guy really think hes trying to kidd? Its too late by the time he hits 60mph??? Where have you been racing?? Better yet, where are your time slips? You might have beaten a coupe with a 75 shot but you didnt beat me. Who knows, you might be faster, but just because you have a turbo doesnt mean sh*t. I'd love to run against you at the track just to see how far that $4000 turbo set up got you. Originally posted by Miami240
