Me. Glad to see someone is also representing a 240. Although I'm not sure what it would be called now... I'll let the pictures explain.

For those who're not familiar with the motor it's a pushrod v8 built by GM. It's a fully aluminum block pushing 300-340hp. I haven't had a chance to dyno it, but I'm guestimating around that area. The transmission is also from a camaro/corvette/etc which is a t-56 six speed.

As far as parts go I'm running Apex n1 pro coilovers with 11gk front and 9kg rear, both linear springs rates made by Swift Springs. I have adjustable rear toe and camber, also in the front. I'm running dunlop fm901s all around with a staggered setup (235 front and 265 rear on an 18 inch wheel). I'm running stock sway bars, although I do need a thicker front due to the added weight. The rear differential is a clutch type 1.5 way (acceleration is fully locked, braking is 50% lock).

For stopping power I'm running 6 piston rotora brakes with a 335mm disk and 2 piston 300zx aluminum calipers in the rear.

Currently the car is over steering which can be attributed to a few things. But I'm getting that worked out now

I hope to see more 240's out there on road racing events. It's a great handling car and extremely fun to drive.
