Nice, putting webers on 240's were fun. 280's were fun to tune...ever take it on the road track to see what it would do..
My track was the local roads, lol. I had fun racing a lot of cars. Hell I even raced my dads Astro Van against a buddy when I was like 16. Well don't diss an Astro Van. They have some decent power, lol.

My favorite was racing a brand new 300 ZX. It was really close. We both started from an on ramp, and knew what each other was thinking. Well we were going around 120 on the freeway and were right with each other the whole time for a few miles. I gotta say, I think the 300 had a little more getup and go, but not by much at all. Or he just didn't know how to drive.

The 280 is nice looking overall in the pics. The Integra, tint the windows, drop bout 1/2 an inch....road will fill nice, just watch for pot holes and such..
Ya, that pic was before the suspension and intake, exhaust system. I've got Ground Control with Koni Yellows on the Integra now. And speed bumps scare me, lol.

I hear you about keeping it on the track, but I'm pretty safe anymore about it, unless I get a sudden burst of testosterone, lol.

I'd bet on the speed bumps and the pot holes they're a bitch when down, it's all about the ride.....

I get those burst too, good music, long road, and boom....here we go.. :bigjoint:

I don't adjust the coil overs. It's pretty much low all the time. Even when I have my studded snow tire on it.

I also don't have super stiff springs, so the ride is kinda aggressive, but also smooth it that makes any sense.

From what u sound get a new set of springs, or upgrade one notch for spring tension.

Way back when I had a Jeep pickup with a Cadillac engine shoehorned into it.
Had a cobbled together exhaust cut out. Talk about loud.
For some reason that reminds me of the Rolls pickup driven by Travis McGee.

Of all the fictional celebrity cars, I wanted that one more than even Kitt.

Though Dick (!) Dastardly’s rocket car “The Mean Machine” will never be displaced from uhm pole position.
