My Night of Driving

[CrazyS13]

Tonight, me and my friend were going to chill with some guys. he has a 1992 325is. We come up behind this 240 coupe which appeared to have an N1 exhaust, we go by him and by god it had a s13 silvia front end! So, i am looking at him with my camera, and he decides to speed up...flies by and gives me that nice exhaust note (hint) and then WHOOOOSSSHHHHH! I almost sh!t myself when i realized it was SR20 powered! Wow, here in Rhode Island you dont see this sort of thing very often so i was PSYCHED! Fun stuff. Later on, i switch cars and get with my friend in his 1992 Maxima SE (you know, 24 valves) I felt much better riding with nissan power: ) Anyways, we are later cruising, when coming up the onramp we see an integra type r...couldnt let this go bye without some fun...so we go bye him and we are in front for a while, we are anxiously waiting for him to come up for a run with us...what do you think he does? Your right he does a ricer effing fly-by! I guess he didnt want none of Nissan baby! We were pissed the rest of the night at his stupid qualities of owning a type r and not doing sh!t with it! Anyways, it was fun stuff. Thanks for reading! BTW i have a S13 hatch : )

Hope you had fun, its great seeing a SR20 for the first time in a 240. I remember my first night, it was so beautiful. I wanted it so bad, but one day. Be careful racing out there. Show us some cool pictures of that 240 to. Peace.

yeah dude, i am dropping in a newer motor, another ka24e ( i am a big fan of it: ) but i will post some nice pics around spring time

i guess i'll do the "ricer fly-by" when idiots are obviously trying to get me to race.......i do it just to get past them and not have to deal with them anymore.

and btw......that ITR would eat the Maxima alive......i know, i used to have one.

[AKADriver]

haha, me too. props to the ITR owner for not taking the bait. awesome cars, potential better saved for the track.

[CrazyS13]

Good calls guys, we dont usually look for a race, but you see a ITR and you cant help but try it: ) what do ITR run? 15.1QM? I dont know about eating it alive..max has VE30DE, you know, VTC, variable intake, 4 cams. Yeah i would guess the ITR may win but i wouldn't say say "eat it alive" thanks for the replies.

I'm still trying to figure out how you knew it had an SR without looking under the hood.

[CrazyS13]

I could tell by the engine, KA-t's and SR haver very different exhaust notes. Also, i talked to some of my buddies and they said it was for sale on on a racing forum in my state, it is. he wants 11,500 for it. Its actually got some mods such as skyline front mount and some other stuff i cant remember.

Got a link to that site????

This gets me wondering if we should really do a New England KA vs. SR challenge... maybe have a few cars from each group and have them compete in an Auto-x and a drag event. Just in MA and CT there's a ton of turbo'ed 240's.... hearing about the RI scene makes me think there's a few more unaccounted for.

Something like that would be extremely interesting to say the least.... there are some really good matchups I'd like to see take place involving 400+ hp cars.

[CrazyS13]

Hey Aceinhole, i have seen you post lately and i thought it would be cool if we met up sometime? You have KA-T correct? I am doing a KA24ET and it would be cool to hangout with you/see your setup sometime. If you are near New Haven area, you are only about 1 hour and 50 minutes away. I am in Southern RI, its a pretty cool place to meet up/chill in the spring and summertime. On the RI scene thing, yeah, there are a few nice 240's up here, a buddy 10 minutes from me has a redtop ready to go into his S13 hatch, that should be cool. But the ka vs. sr challenge sounds like it would be fun as hell to have! We will show the domination ; ) Lemme know.

yeah. a bunch of CT/ MA guys regularly compete in www.ner.org SCCA Solo II in in MA and NH. I'm trying to see if i can get Drifting Ricer (Jose) to do a meet before then. Most likely it will be another karting meet at www.f1boston.com sometime in Feb.

If you wanna meet any time before then, let me know (e-mail = [email protected] , AIM = a7r ). For the next week or so I've got a few problems with my car to fix though.....

as far as KA's dominating.... I don't think so.... if Yury gets into it (www.srswap.com) his 400+hp monster will be tough to beat (i'd imagine a good competetion would be him vs. boosteds14 (jeff) on here). For anyone that doesn't know he's pretty much a pro driver, too.

Regardless, it would be fun. It's always a good time when you've got a group of 240sx's in the same parking lot :D

[CrazyS13]

Yeah i know. SR is kinda superior in many ways : )

Yeah i hear ya about when there is a bunch of 240's together, its a wonderful thing : ) yeah we will have to meet sometime, i have a bunch of friends that will realllly appreciate you and your car, probably me the most. my e mail is [email protected]

Take care, have fun fixing those little bugs (i know what its all about, trust me)

Peace, John

[phastlane]

the integra was probably a civic with a body kit :rolleyes:

ITR runs 14.9 QM depends on the driver's driving skill

Well, I wouldn't say the SR is superior.... more so that Yury has dumped a lot more money into his car than anyone else I've seen (although he can get things quite a bit cheaper being the guy the rest of us buy the parts from.... so imagine what $15 - 20K would do for him, which is probably how much has been dumped into his S14). Add to the fact that he's most likely (definitely) a much better driver than anyone else around here..... and you've got yourself a problem if you're on the KA side :p

we'd probably have to keep the event to mere mortals... maybe we could just wait untill the Zilvia Battle @ mid-ohio in april :D
