I got the new issue of Super Street in the mail today and I looked at the cover and was like cool, its a S15.  After fliping some pages, i saw an article 2-3 pages long about the Nissan 240Sx convention in cali.  It seems as if 240's are poping up everywehre and in a good quantity.  I was wondering what everyone thinks about the exposure 240's are getting.

this is old...

you can't expect to have a certain car make all to yourself...there are thousands of other people with the same interests and reasons as you for wanting to drive a certain make, so why shouldn't they?  There are also plenty of stupid people in this world who will do stupid things with their cars, so just live with it.

They've stopped popping out in 1998.

max power obviosly drives a honda and is jealous of the exposure the 240s are getting now days. I think people are just realizing that it is an awesome car. I give it 2 years before they bring the s15 over. The 350z in a huge success and it seems only fitting that with the skyline coming that the 240 will be back.

I for one am not a big fan of all this exposure. Yeah, sure, I know there are people who like the car for what it is but then it also seems like a bunch of people are just jumping on the 240 bandwagon. "It's in magazines so it must be cool."

The article on Taniguchi was alright. He is a great driver and has accomplished much. I don't think the article really did him justice.

And yes, the S15 is over. And the SR, along with the RB's, the JZ's, and 13B's due to new emission's laws in Japan cutting out many of the mainstream turbo-charged engines <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

personally, i wish the ricers would just stick to the economy-based midsizes and compacts and leave the sportier cars alone. you can have your civics, your CRX's, your accords, and hey, even the Sentra, but back off the Prelude, the Eclipse, and the 240.... well, i guess the eclipse is borderline. whatever. just yesterday i saw a riced-out z32... chrome wheels, visor on the rearview, fat dual fartcans, Autozone-quality [email protected] GrApHixXx. it was sick. and yet, when i saw a late eighties Civic hatch done up in the same manner, i just blew it off as an everyday thing. he revved, i gave the finger, he called me a pussy, i smoked his ass, and he learned a lesson, or at least should have.
i hate the publicity the 240sx gets, although, unfortunately, that's kind of hypocritical of me since i first learned of the 240sx's existence and potential through an old SCC article... =\

to tell you the truth, it's not so much the riced out nissans that bother me so much as it is riced out cars in general. and it's not really the riced out cars themselves but the QUANITY of riced out cars. they're everywhere. it used to be i'd drive down the street without seeing an odd-colored, buzzing travesty of a vehicle flying through traffic. now, it's not just every day i see one, it's every trip i make. i see 10, 20 riceburners a day, and they're never repeats. i live in St. Louis, not SoCal! it's disturbing how well ricing out a car serves it's purpose: to make you look cool to the majority of people around you, and score girls. while we, the anti-ricer folk, bitch about how stupid ricers are, they're out in their gay-ass cars picking up girls and looking cool to all people except us and people that seem to hate cars and young people in general. and, as long as the mass population is uneducated to the pointlessness of the ricers' so-called "mods", they'll keep looking cool and getting girls. my fantasy is the day a guy in a CRX with a big can on his exhaust revs at a stoplight next to a hot girl in some Taurus or whatever, and she just laughs at him and then sarcastically asks how many horses he thinks he added with that awesome muffler. then, she proceds to explain how queer his little econopile is, how stupid visors are, how his chrome wiper nozzles are incredibly stupid looking, how he's only hindering performance by cutting his springs... and then wraps it up by telling him she's disgusted by his car, because somewhere some old lady is missing her bingo shuttle. oh, and then she guns it and whips his ass with her taurus. yeah, that'd be cool.

I don't like it &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'>

Esspecially when people think I have a JDM front end or walk up to me and ask "yo dude you have a SR in there, you boostin'?". &nbsp;Of course I simply say no and try to ignore anymore small talk...

http://www.yrc.co.jp/tire/wheel/g2_wh.gif Ick...they &nbsp;tried to save space on the server I guess...Here (http://www.yrc.co.jp/tire/wheel/advan_g2.html) is the link.
here they are on an S15 (like in the mag)

Anyone have any good sites for 240sx's? I don't have any pictures of my car from the side (I wanna photoshop them on).

This whole thing bugs me because like 2 years ago when I first started readin super street/sport compact car and the other mags, it was all hondas and maybe one other car. There was always nasty letters about how the mag sucked cuzed it only had hondas. So now as they listen to their readers and change their focus, they still get letters sayin how they suck cuz now they feature 240's and such. So F$#@ all you weiners and bitchers out there cuz your all so caught up on this that you let it run your inconsequential pitiful existence. Flame me all you want, half of the people on this are all on the new wave jump on the silvia bandwagon ricers who I couldn't give half a F$%% about. Now I remember why I don't read this board often. To all the true enthusiasts, keep it real.
