local 240 shops

Post by kona240 »

i went by the local sr shop today with my friend to check out his friend's new front clip, cuz the damage his first one. when i was there i ask him about a turbo ka and he said that the ka can only go 5000 after being turbo with good maintainence. he told me that a sr can be drivin hard and drifted often and will not break, as long as you do regular maintainence. is this true or he just another slave to the sr?

Go buy an sr. The KA is a very stout engine. People who said that kas will only last that long are dumb.

The man has obviously never tried to turbo a KA, and I honestly don't think he should. because anyone who makes assumptions like that, shouldn't have the honors to drive a KA-T.

haha the guy who was in there for his 2nd SR is a chump.. he most likely blew his first hot wheels car...
and maybe the KA would blow with 120 compression across the board with no management...**** anycar should last a long time with the correct management..
