A funny 240 story....

[ixfxi]

So, as some of you may or may not know... I havent driven my car in years due to my restoration project. How many years? 5. Five long years, and counting.

This means I've been away from the "two-fourty-scene" which also means, I have no idea what it feels like to drive around a modified car, get nods and thumbs up from other car enthusiasts and attention from other 240 owners. Afterall, I dont even drive during the week.. I fucking walk to work. Comedy.


So today I did a few errands and was kickin it with my main man Melvin @ Performance NISSAN, who has a nicely modified silver S13 hatch. We're cruising around the valley here in SoCal, had to go to my machine shop and body shop, etc. I completely forgot how other 240 guys get hard-ons when they see a clean 240. What qualifies as a clean 240? Well for one, Melvin's car is an `89 with only 53k on the odo. Second, its all one color and pretty much original paint. No big dents. Clean 1/4 windows (ahah dave). And a share of nice modifications which I wont get into.


My first reminder was my share of random individuals giving me THUMBS UP for..... driving? I guess they're happy I'm sharing the public road with them, because its like theres this sub-culture of men who like to nod to other men who do things right. So the first few people kept checking the car out and thumbs upping. Now comes the best part of the story........

I'm cruisin around near Sepulveda with a bunch of freshly painted parts in the rear of the hatch, and a fucking crankshaft sitting back there too. All of a sudden I'm doing my mirror rotations checking out my surroundings and I see a red 240 MISSLE kareeming at me! The guy quickly changes lanes and barn-storms** past us using the parking lane. Then the guy cuts left from the parking lanes to the fast lane, passes an 18-wheeler that was ahead of me and then rips back to the right to do what? To fucking get stuck in traffic waiting to make a right hand turn with the rest of the traffic that was up ahead. 5 seconds later, I roll right past him and look over.........

some late teen/early 20s white boy with his girlfriend (who'd benefit from being in our car). The guy looks over and gives us the nod of approval. hahahaha oh man. One of the things that made his rocket-blast past us so entertaining was seeing his car LEAN and DIVE like a fuckin boat as he pulled these crazy maneuvers. I'm pretty sure his girlfriend (or possibly sister) in the car was probably shitting her pants. I mean who the fuck feels comfortable speeding in a shitty, old ass car thats neglected and has beatup suspension, etc?

So not only was the car dipping and diving due to crap-spec suspension, but when we passed his car I noticed the bumper was all fucked up and appeared half secured, I could see all the brackets that secure the headlight buckets. Even better was when traffic cleared so that he could get onto the freeway, he gassed the fuck out of what sounded like a SOHC motor with an exhaust. Out of the exhaust I see nothing but puke-smoke, not black but noticeably white and blue, meaning reminding me and everyone else who shares the public streets how superior and finely tuned his 140HP beast is, and how in need he is for a headgasket (or motor).


Welp, thats my story for the day. If anyone else has any funny 240 street idiot stories, feel free to chime in. If the owner of the red fastback is on this forum:
1) You're a moron.
2) Fix your car.
3) Slow down, please. There are hot girls on public roads. Dont risk damaging a nice set of titties just to be a Speed Racer.

ps: The girl that was in your car, send her to Melvin.

- Mike


** Barn-storming: To use the parking lane (typically reserved for parked cars) in order to barn-storm and rip past other cars in the faster driving lanes.

[udon!]

yee... SOHC KA bishes, 30 more hp than your civic

[pinkarrowsnow]

hahah i love getting thumbs ups and waves it makes me feel like i did something right with my car haha

[genericforumname]

haha holy shit, sounds like the neighbor across the street from me. its a single cam two-tone coupe. in typical poor-retard fashion the headlight covers are black, the car is that white/cream color, the body is busted up all along the sides and his trunk is also black. the car is on factory 4x4 stance with teardrops in the front and steelies in the back and the ubiquitous fart can(on stock everything else). the winning component of this awesome(shit)-box is the taillight covers to make it look like he has r32 taillights.

this douche then proceeds to free-rev this piece of shit coupe for at least 15 minutes a day and at random times, and what more it clearly sounds like that motors old as dirt(which it is) the car sits in place all day then I hear it move about once a week floors it up and down residential streets, where there are always some dumbass kids in the street and then parks it again.

my absolute favorite part of this is what happens next. this ha gone on for about 3 weeks(?) and I notice hes started parking it on the street, also for some reason his whole front end is now black (rear ended someone?) oh yeah, he also put MASSIVE stickers on the front of his car reading "HKS". I have maybe 7k(?) in my car and I dont think I own a single hks product nor a sticker on my car saying whats in it but for some reason, his car is hot shit enough that he has to advertise.

[s13silvia123]

great story LMAO

[Slammed Assassin]

great story!

[Om1kron]

When I drove simone around with the old version select kit on there, I used to get neck breaking looks all the time and thumbs up from tons of hondas.

[slow40sx]

after i did my swap i get nothing but mustangs and hondas trying to fuck with me, some dude in a CRX came up on me looked over at me and rev'd and i just looked back with the "are you fuckin dumb?" look on my face, he proceeded to drop 2nd and cross over into v-tec right in my fucking ear and rear end the shit out of a slow moving city worker F-350, it was hilarious

on a side note does anyone ever see this, i park my car on the street infront of my house and every once and a while some honda guy will roll past my house and slow down i guess to look at my car and then they rev and take off, as if i'm out there to see it or something, i don't understand at all but it has happened on several different occasions, i guess its sweet to rev at my car? haha

[Bigsyke]

3) Slow down, please. There are hot girls on public roads. Dont risk damaging a nice set of titties just to be a Speed Racer.


This is true. Exactly how I think. You may not see these amazing set of titties due to the door panel blocking direct contact, however they could possibly be outstanding.

The stereotype just cant be broken when it comes to honda drivers. I had a guy in 5pm stop and go traffic sit there, redlining the car (EGG hatch), engaged the ebrake and spun the tires about every 30 feet, while gayzing into my eyes like he was taking a shit. Then he decided that wasnt enough, his cat-less hatch buzzed on the shoulder past traffic- untill the shoulder ended and all he had left was the ditch.

This guy would just show up in traffic out of nowhere, racing people, run red lights.

Or the other honda guys that would tap your bumper in 3rd gear on the highway, nearly spinning a bearing.....for what? They then proceed with complete zeal and udder childish outrage in a tantrum of vtak to B16shit on your ego.

These guys are getting 240's now.

[240sxxs]

lol....my stories is not an idiot-road-bashing ..my is more like happy....
the other days just stop at a red light and parked right behind a boosted s2000 suddenly out of no where....a big loaded truck pull up and the driver said..that a nicest 240 i never seen

[projectRDM]

Stories like Mike's are the reason I have no urge to ever put my 240 back on the road. The few times I drove the current car before tearing it down I couldn't go anywhere without some fool assuming I was looking for a FnF style race or someone following me to a parking lot to instigate a damn interrogation about it. Nothing pisses me off more than having a purpose for going somewhere and being held up by a bunch of ignorant kids who think we're best friends because we drive the same type of car. Why people think I would give a flying fuck about them and their car just because it's also a 240 is beyond me. That shit never made sense to me. A decade ago I could drive anywhere and not be bothered by anyone.

[David B S12]

forserious though. a dohc ka is not much faster then a sohc at all

[lowNslow]

<-Current (egg) driver. Not ALL honda owners are complete retards, yes there are many but most of which are h.s. kids or people who seem to not care about growing up. Just as there are hondas doin ricer flybys there are 240's with open diffs trying to be madd doriftos. What im trying to get at is every type of car scene has its idiots not just cause I have a honda I rev up all the time an race in the streets.

[sacco sideways]

maybe not but thats still what were going to think first...

[sevenstar]

i was walking out of quiznos today and saw this kid in a integra with red wheels eyeballing my car. okay he was all googly eyed staring at it, while the car in front of him was stopped i watched him hit the back of the guys car, i couldn't say anything, but he did have an outragiously big wing on his car...

I am waiting to see this happen. If it ever happens near me, I will pull over and wait for the cops to show up so I can tell them exactly how stupid the guy was that caused the wreck. I live in North Jersey and there are FAR too many idiots on the road. I HATE them.

[xawax]

i have a good one...

so i'm heading to work in the morning just minding my own business when i spot this car weaving through traffic behind me. he finally manages to get beside me and just sits there, like he was in a big hurry and now he's not...its a civic coupe with body kit and wing and alot of shitty black rattlecan paint. he trys to instigate some fun, but i'm not interested...he proceeds to drop a gear and take off, painfully slow, and go around a car on the inside to be able to hang with my lane of traffic...i move my foot about 1/4 inch, in 5th gear, and keep with him and look over just at the best part...

as he is doing his best to impress, his cheap carbon fiber hood blows up and wraps itself around the rest of his car...he can't see and has to shut it down and pull over....classic

[enkei2k]

in NYC, i see lots of hondas all the time, i never get to experience these stories while i'm driving...i guess i'm just lucky? haha but these are good reads for sure.

[dudermagee]

oh god I get this shit all the time
I have a 01 integra sedan gsr for a daily
clean, low milage, reliable while the 240 is in pieces
almost every day to or from work I get some jackass who wants to race in rush hour traffic
and I hate to say it but its almost always some beat to hell honda
civic, accord, other integra, you name it
I've also had a few
wrx's, 240s, is300's, and beat to hell BMW's
but it ALWAYS seems that the people with the shittiest cars want to race
guess its because they have the least to lose:goyou:
screw street racing and screw rush hour traffic racing

[bboyoracle]

I used to have people revving at me all the time. Once I got my supermade aero and wheels that stopped completely lol

[CrimsonRockett]

Some dumbass thought it'd be awesome to try and race me(Civic Hatch).

As always, I deny because street racing is just fucking stupid.

Idiot takes off thinking he's bad ass...only to pull over 1/2 a mile down the street with smoke coming out of his engine bay.

:rofl:

[landins13]

a friend of mine pointed out something pretty usefull a couple years back and the more i think about it the more i realize its 100% true, this came from a guy with a 600+whp sti "the faster your car is the slower you drive let the idiots who think they have something to prove get pulled over while we cruise because we already know we'd win"

[usdm180sx]

LOL I had a fucking Audi R8 do that to me yesterday on the 405. I also get fan boys videotaping me driving all the time.

[lilrusty]

ah!! man this just happened to me not to long ago too. stop and go traffic on the fwy and im in my s13 coupe. ive gotten guys wanting to race me before but not like this guy. he was in a last gen prelude with massive wing and "kombat" (lol) style body kit with POS exhaust. so hes next to me and proceeds with the revving and burning out in front of everone. now my fav part is when he flashes money right in front of me and yells if i want to race. i just give him this face like "are u serious?" so he continues to burn out and stuff and takes off. couple min laters i see him on the side of the road with hood open and what looked like a busted radiator hose. funniest shit ever. people just want to live their lives a quarter mile at a time....

[Brian]

I see unpainted / primered / burgandy S13s all the time.

The end.

[Quail]

All the 200sx/Skyline drivers around here give the obligatory headlight flash or thumbs up when they see each other.

Sometimes get negative attention though. At uni I live in quite a bad area and I used to see people walking past talking photos on their phone, and I had groups of people asking me questions about it when I was working on it (always lied about what was fitted - played the car down quite a lot). One of the first times I brought it to Portsmouth I got chased by a white van which tried to corner me (think they were going to try and steal it there and then). I managed to pull a bit of a risky manoeuvre (in a tight residential area) and lose them. After consulting the forums it seemed a local gang tried exactly the same thing on an R33.

The worst is when you have people that try and tell you about your car. The amount of people that have told me my car is a Skyline (after I've told them its a 200sx) is ridiculous.

One of my best experiences was when I was cruising behind a biker and we stopped at some traffic lights. He lifted his visor and asked me about the engine (he could hear me rumbling away behind him). The same day I pulled into a petrol station and some old American guy started asking me loads of questions about the car (it was standard exterior wise at this point). He looked slightly dissapointed when I told him it was only a 2 liter :o

[slow40sx]

i gotta say the thing that pisses me off the most is when we are out at a meet and there is always a few people that have to either, A. drive around the parking lot for the entire duration of the night with there body kitted and bondoed Stratus with under glow and music blaring, B. race around the parking lot several times before they park, or C. burnout in the parking lot, then burnout down the street and then immidiately come back and park

ricers are so fucking stupid, no one thinks its cool accept them and the few other fag ricers in the parking lot, god it really just annoys me, key reason i stopped going to our local meet, shit is so whack

[nathanong87]

i mean if someone is cruising along with me and waves or gives the thumbsup .. i'll acknowledge him. i'm not about to totally ignor someone. but if that same person decides to try and street race .... i just continue to cruise and act like he is simply passing by.

[ixfxi]

These <honda> guys are getting 240's now.

Stories like Mike's are the reason I have no urge to ever put my 240 back on the road.<snip> A decade ago I could drive anywhere and not be bothered by anyone.

i gotta say the thing that pisses me off the most is when we are out at a meet and there is always a few people that have to <act stupid>. key reason i stopped going to our local meet, shit is so whack

ive trimmed down the above quotes, but they nicely summarize why i've fallen into the rut of building my car as opposed to driving my car. of course, i still plan to have this beast ready sometime next year... but it sure is funny to see how its "celebrity status" for anyone who drives that used to be a "secretary's car."

I had a customer come by yesterday, hes dumped over 100k throughout the years into his 300ZX turbo, hoping to *someday* get magazine coverage and win some trophies. Like, seriously? SERIOUSLY? That alone blows my mind, I cant understand how 10 dollar trophies mean anything to anyone other than a 7 year old child... and how is it worth-while to get featured in a magazine? The magazine stuff is fine and dandy, but I sure as hell have no interest in publishing my car in a magazine so every idiot can see my mod list and details. Its just useless bragging rights. Some of the nicest cars I've seen havent been featured, I'de like to be one of those guys. The unknown ones that build shit that amazes people, not the typical monthly "wipe your ass with" mag car.

[ixfxi]

I'll share one more story, back when my car was my daily driver... I was cruising down sunset near sepulveda, close to the freeway heading down to the ghetty museum area. Its late at night and I'm sitting with my wifey, waitin for the left arrow to turn green. I heard something that sounded like revving but was too muffled... I mean, it was very quiet.

5 seconds later I look over and apparently some kids were driving mom'n'dads Q45. The driver was revving this muffled V8 and I couldnt hear shit. Either it was too quiet of a car or my car's idle was overshadowing it. So I roll down my window and theres the douchebag driver, his girlfriend (or sister) and another kid in the back. The driver reveals his douchebaggery by asking the universal question of stupidity:

"hey, you drift!???"

ah shit. like seriously, what the fuck do I say. I've been asked this a million times, over and over and fuckin over again. What do they think, like I hit every turn at mach-6 with the rear wheels blazing?

I shake my head in disappointment for our future, as these are the kids that will soon be adults someday. I give him a thumbsup and they all return the gesture and comment that I have a nice car. SIGH.. okay, thanks for the gratitude.

I guess its better than having to listen to my wifes constant nagging & jabbering, but back then we were single.. so I was actually interested in what she said. Amazing how times change.

[Johny5]

If i ever see you on the road i'm going to race youj

[Chernobyl]

One time I was driving. Then another 240sx passed by.

Where is the punchline?

[Mr.350Gt]

ROTFL amazing stories guys!!

[driftsilvias13]

I had a guy in 5pm stop and go traffic sit there, redlining the car (EGG hatch), engaged the ebrake and spun the tires about every 30 feet, while gayzing into my eyes like he was taking a shit.
These guys are getting 240's now.

dude that made my day. fucking hilarious!

[OBEEWON]

Pix or you are lying.

[IIIXziuR]

It's not cool to own/drive a S13 anymore.
Or so that what I hear...

[usdm180sx]

It is if it's not janky

[carnagexxxx]

I'm laughing at these stories so hard right now! I've received my fair share of "good-uns" in the past few years. I remember how the ricers were in the parking lot of a movie theater after I went to see one of the Fast and Furious movies. It was like a beehive full of retarded yellow jackets was knocked over.

My story:

I once had to go meet a client who needed an auto insurance policy (for what vehicle you ask?? What else but a 94 prelude).

So I went to meet him in my 95 which besides the fmic and guage pod looks basically stock. I was a bit early so I decided to turn the car off with the windows down, got out and enjoyed a day out of the office. When my client arrived I couldn't help but notice the look of awe he gave at my car.

He gets out of his gf's car, walks over, and proceeds to tell me how cool he thinks everything is. I generally like to play that stuff off and tend to be bashful. He takes a look at my boost and oil pressure gauges, says "coooool", and before I could react he started to turn them around in the pod as if they were washing machine dials. After I let out a loud "ACKKKK" he proceeded to tell me his plans of gull-wing doors, fancy paint, Skyline tail-lights, and neons that he had in-store for his prelude.

Another flattering moment was when I was at a gas station and some 14 year old kid rolled up next to me at the pump (he was on a bicycle) and started bombarding me with questions about where I got my SR, who did the work, how much boost, what suspension. He then was trying to get me to go to the local "car night" which I knew would consist mostly of the area's honda boiz. I called up a friend who worked in the area who confirmed that it's not legit and cops always "bust up the party".

[gmember240]

got the thumps up of approval on the highway from a porsche the other day haha. great, i love it

[gmember240]

and i also love how guys with v8s are SCARED AS SHIT of us 4bangers. priceless....

[OBEEWON]

I was sitting at a stop light next to a Mustang who was grilling me oh so hard. The light was still red and we were behind 2 or 3 cars, so I decided to pretend to launch real hard. So I chirped and slammed on my brakes. The guy in the Mustang almost rammed the minivan in front of him. We both proceeded to die laughing.


But by far I get the most people trying to race me in my stock engine SC and my stock auto 96 (before it was stolen)

[Persona]

I once had a kid ask me where i got my skyline conversion done. (kouki front) i told him it came stock like this and was a 97. By the look on his face he didnt get it.

Also had a pickup truck once rice it up behind me, fly to my side only to hang out of his window and give me a big thumbs up.

[RBSilvia1406]

man we got alot of those damn honda and integra kids out here in scottsdale, az. i use to do my public service and race them into photo radar. haha i would race all the way up to about 40ft before photo radar and put on the brakes so that i would get a ticket. haha its hiliarious to watch someone get a speeding ticket for 95ish in a 65. in this state that criminal speeding which includes manditory 48 hrs in jail and possible liscence suspesion(3-6 months).

[Matej]

Oh man, hilarious stories. You're like the Nick Cannon of Zilvia.

[HyperTek]

dam this thread is turning into a "ricers in other cars reaction towards 240sx", and not about the new post-drift era 240sx ricers lol.

He then was trying to get me to go to the local "car night" which I knew would consist mostly of the area's honda boiz. I called up a friend who worked in the area who confirmed that it's not legit and cops always "bust up the party".

i can relate to this, tons of kids tell me to go to their car meet yadda yadda.. i never go because its mostly alot of piece of shit cars, and id be like the only cool car there and ahve to answer alot of questions and listen to alot of "hopes and dreams build ups" lol. People who waste their time, where as they could have used all that time to do something more productive with it if they wanted to get serious with cars.

[93nismo]

i find it somewhat weird that all the honda kids here are in there 20's and seem to keep away from ricness. i unno, some still come up to me and try to "race"... relitivly annoying. my cars bone stock and a few people have asked if its tubo because thay can apparently hear it? idiots. i occasionaly get a neon or a camaro or something to try and race. i just shake my head and continue driveing...

[zenki.life]

my one and only story worth mentioning happened actually last thursday. i decide to take my POS car to school. do the class thing, and start walking to the parking lot to go home. as usual i forgot where i parked and start searching around(good thing the car is unique) i finally come to my car noticing that some kid is like standing by it taking pictures. (mind you i havnt washed it for a month, it was a spur of the moment idea to take the 240, otherwise it sits in front of my apartment) i walk up to my car car and was like " uh excuse me?" and hes like "oh.....is this your car" i say yes and start to open the door. he goes "oh damn nice ass car man" and im like "oh thanks"


then he tries to chat with me for a sec and i tell him i gotta go.

he walks away and............gets in his Mercedes CLS. and here i am thinking to myself WTF. ill trade lol. he then tries to speed out of the parking lot and take corners way to fast......



when i used to drive my red hatch. id pass by other 240s and we would flip our lights up and down at each other lmao :)

[wgJoY]

wow. A lot of these stories are pretty amazing. A lot of retards out there.

The only story I have to tell happened to me last summer. I was at a red light, in a 2008 lancer, (Which I still get asked if it's an Evolution, also annoying) and some 17 yr old kid with his buddies in the back pull up next to me in daddy's supercharged charger. They roll their windows down, and as mine are already down (fuck me right?) the driver proceeds to ask me, "How fast is that car's 0-60?"

I say, looking at him in all seriousness, "Fast."

He replies, "You think you can take me?"

I come back and say, "I have no doubt that I can take you. But not here, how about I meet you up Glendora Mountain Road in 15 minutes?"

To which he replied, "I'll see you there."

So the light turned green, he sped off to go up GMR (I could only assume) and I went home lol

[lazysk8er2]

All the 200sx/Skyline drivers around here give the obligatory headlight flash or thumbs up when they see each other.

when i had my e30 daily lots of bmw guys would flash me.


also my friend is into subies and they are pretty ghey with that shit too. going out of their way to wave and honk and flash their headlights.

[92SEric240sx]

i thought you were talking about me for a second before i saw that you were in cali, haha my car wants paint badly!!!

[jspaeth]

To which he replied, "I'll see you there."

So the light turned green, he sped off to go up GMR (I could only assume) and I went home lol


that is awesome ahahahah

[ixfxi]

what sucks about driving the miata around... is that even though its modified

even though it has wide wheels and kickass tires

even though its lowered with a fatass rollbar


even though i have a hardtop, and the entire car is black


even though all the lights are modified


no one gives a flying fuck.





so i guess its a good thing, even better if you want to blend into society. though, i cant say i got the same lack of attention when my friend and i were driving around in a porsche carrera gt. which i can understand getting attention in a cgt.

what i cannot understand, is getting attention in a fucking nissan 240sx. like, why?

[ThatGuy]

Media hype, Mike.

Fuck the media.

[thisisastickup]

haha, my best story is from when a friend and I were cruising around in the 510. Some guy comes rolling up in his minivan, probably in his early forties. He starts asking me a bunch of questions about the mileage and year and shit, all amazed that it only has 76k. Right before the light goes green, my friend, who is a notorious asshole, says," yeah, it's a cool car, huh? What year is the windstar, bro?" I had no choice to dive away without a word because of a combination of the fact that I was damn near pissing myself laughing and I felt kinda bad.

[heavenboundkevin]

you dont even know how bad it gets. I daily a honda. its lowered, and "mad JDM tyte yo" i get ppl trying to race me left and right. LOL. I have never gone over 5k except for on the test drive, and 99% of the time i drive the speed limit. The other 1 % is slower. crazy fools.

the 240 i drive like a grandma. but dont worry, my situational awareness of other drivers is very high, due to previous motorcycle experience.. can i get a hooyah for safe driving? jimmy up should be "safe driving and safe sex" I would so rock that shirt/vinyl

[s13 @ fullboost]

My car is a peace of shit so I only give thumbs up haha

[J90lude]

Hahaha keep it coming

[Drifting-pedobear]

i drive a civic. ive put decent money into it. every single time i go to "kent" wa, day or night, some rice always wants to race. gets annoying.

from the other side, i have 240s trying to race me all the time.
and Hondas too! so i get the real shit storm.

subie drives are asses. always getting the thumbs down from them :(
my cars not ugly lol.

but yeah, i like all types of cars. so i thumb up anything clean. spreadin' the love!

[js959]

on a side note does anyone ever see this, i park my car on the street infront of my house and every once and a while some honda guy will roll past my house and slow down i guess to look at my car and then they rev and take off, as if i'm out there to see it or something, i don't understand at all but it has happened on several different occasions, i guess its sweet to rev at my car? haha


hahaha yes! also parked infront of my house and not far from vb. i've had this happen a few times from civics and integras. one time a civic was rolling by, and i guess he didn't notice i was actually sitting in my car, so i got out when he was almost right next to me, and he tried to speed off but he couldn't get into gear then when he did i heard him miss second lol. shits funny.

I'm worried about some douche trying to rip my car off or something. I don't mind going to a drift event every now and then but I'm not about to roll up to some "meet" by myself only to get mugged by fanboys with intakes and shit-kits.

I'm all about keeping my car as much of a sleeper as possible. No stickers, no body kit, hell, I'm even thinking about getting rid of the spoiler that came with the car (i do like it though lol).


wow. A lot of these stories are pretty amazing. A lot of retards out there.

The only story I have to tell happened to me last summer. I was at a red light, in a 2008 lancer, (Which I still get asked if it's an Evolution, also annoying) and some 17 yr old kid with his buddies in the back pull up next to me in daddy's supercharged charger. They roll their windows down, and as mine are already down (fuck me right?) the driver proceeds to ask me, "How fast is that car's 0-60?"

I say, looking at him in all seriousness, "Fast."

He replies, "You think you can take me?"

I come back and say, "I have no doubt that I can take you. But not here, how about I meet you up Glendora Mountain Road in 15 minutes?"

To which he replied, "I'll see you there."

So the light turned green, he sped off to go up GMR (I could only assume) and I went home lol

That is freaking hilarious! Good stuff.

when i had my e30 daily lots of bmw guys would flash me.


also my friend is into subies and they are pretty ghey with that shit too. going out of their way to wave and honk and flash their headlights. I tend to "blink" my headlights when I see a 240. Most around here aren't rice or anything like that.

[ms!3]

i dont mind getting nods.

i just fucking hate all of the flybys and shit.

[mrmephistopheles]

Here's a story.

I met this dude a few years ago - he showed me this video he'd done of his car doing burnouts and powerslides. It was a shitty SOHC automatic, so he had to throw water down on the ground to break traction.

It's on YouTube, too.




SO COOL.

[DRFTWHORE]

I see unpainted / primered / burgandy S13s all the time.

The end.

wuts wrong with burgandy s13's .....

this one time when nissan made that car called the 240sx, it was slow and shitty

[s13Carlo]

This one time I was on Thousand Oaks Blvd. and some ass hole ricer in a mistyblue beat ass fawkin s13 and cut me off double clutching like a motha fucka on Christmas morning.

i hate it when they ask me what am i hitting on the 1/4 mile... stupid.

Also today i got hit up by an idiot on a 90-92 accord on the 5 FWY. Dude passed me at first merging from the 101fwy to the 5fwy... after that this idiot kept bugging me and trying i guess to race, i just totally ignored this dumb ass while he cut through traffic and tailgated other people. That shit is so annoying how theres all these kids out there mainly the honda crowd trying to be all cool and shit.

This is true. Ive been tailgated through backroads trying to get away from this gang of ninjas litterally trying to carjack me in my 240. Ive also been chassed for 10 miles in my EJ8-2 (championship white, mugen wheels) by someone who was trying to either carjack me, or find out where I was going to park. - he was so close to my rear bumper that even if I did want to pull over and submit my car, I couldnt, he wouldve rear ended my car if I let off the accellerator. I was with my GF, and I get quite violent over things like this so I called the police. I led him into some sort of trap, and the BEST part was he engaged his stolen B16 VTACH cam lobes just as the state trooper was getting onto the highway. About 10-15 seconds after he engaged vtak, he broke 70mph and then started gaining speed. The trooper got him and then I went home and smashed.

This was up in MN where we get a fresh boat of theives every month, and they somehow get hondas like that very day. You can only know how bad they are untill you live there.

Its also funny when you go to a meet, to find out most ppl there are convicted car theives.

[udon!]

I wish that "our scene", (if i should even call it that) is going to fucking hell in a fucking handbasket. there are too many stupid ass fucks that think there "DrIfTeRz" around socal, all these fucking honda drivers are buying s-chassis, and it hurts my feelings.

[ESmorz]

I like being asked in broken english if I have "big motor".

240's are dead. We are now in the Valley of Dry Bones.

[Stayka]

I don't do the flashing of headlights unless it's a good friend.

I'll wave/nod if I meet eyes with another NICO member. It pisses me off when I'm not given the same respect. Like I don't go out of my way to wave but if were both looking at each others car I'll acknowledge that by throwing the deuce.

Example I saw a red S13 trying to get like a 180sx. It was clean. So I gave him the wave when I thought he was looking in my direction. He didn't return the wave. I have no idea what he was looking at with his big ass goofy aviator sunglasses. Started to get mad, then realized he's the one in the S13.

I blame knock off parts like Godspeed and cheap 240 owners.

[Bigsyke]

I just hope to find that old guy with a kouki before some highschool kid does, take it off his hands and restore it.

[randomxzero]

i hated the 5 months i drove my civic hatch on the streets...
i would always get revved up and asked what motor was in my car..
i would always tell them i had an JDM H22 SOHC with 15psi of vtec... they would just get a confused look on their face and say cool ha ha :D

[revat619]

i get the occasional revs on the freeway from the neon/civic/integra douchebags, but thats about it. I did get reved on by a fucking viper though. I was driving downtown, and i see these weird looking HIDs coming up fast behind me, then i hear it and i'm like WTF is that? then he gets along side and of course i'm like oh its viper, thats pretty sweet. THIS fool starts reving on me at that light! I look at im like "are you for real?! you have a fucking VIPER!" anyway, the light turned green and he launched like a bat outta hell. I admit it was cool seeing it go that fast, but i still dont get why he thought my car would be a challenge. Idiot.

As for 240 owners, i usually just get a thumbs up, which is ok with me. I just return the gesture and keep on my way.

A couple weeks ago though, i was coming out of the chiropractors office and this suuuuper clean 67' mustang fastback is sitting like two spaces over from my car. As i was walking past it, i see there's an old dude sitting in the driver seat and as i'm reaching for my keys to get in my car he goes

"What in the world is that? That's pretty sharp!"

me: (dumbfounded cuz his car is rad and mine is.....well, a 240sx) "oh thanks! Its a nissan 240sx."

him: "is that right?! what year?"

me: "97"

him: "Wow. My son had one of them, but it was a piece a junk. It didn't look anything like that! Yours looks real nice! You take care now!"

AWESOME.

Seriously though, i get more thumbs up from old and new muscle car guys than anything else. Mustangs, Camaros, Vettes,etc. Oh and a yellow 911 turbo. It had black wheels and HUGE brakes and some kinda exhaust. It wasn't stock cuz that thing sounded super mean just idling. We were at a light behind some other cars, he gave me the motion to roll my window down, so i did thinking he'd be asking for directions or something, but he just said "nice car man. love those wheels" and gave me a thumbs up. At first i felt awkward, but later i thought, that was pretty frickin bad ass. lol

[Walperstyle]

If you are looking for attention, get an old ass heavy car and drive it slow.

Thats my first car, I still have her parked very far away for the winter. Its a 65 Chrysler. I get more looks from it from girls, old farts, kids, and even crackheads.

With My s13 I build it for me. I dont drive fast to impress others. I dont drift it either. Drifting is hard on a car, and I hate how the youth demographic drifts daily drivers. Thats just dumb, considering most (not all) of you have never seen whats under the valve cover or even know the physics how it works, yet you drive around like a retard in traffic as if you pioneered it.

I get more satisfaction building an engine from the ground up, using micrometers to make sure I have the right size main bearings; applying simple math to equations and theory to produce reliable power. Not just throwing a bigger turbo on an already old stressed out engine. Spending the money where it counts instead of where it doesnt.

It would be nice to see less people as mentioned in the first post. It would also be nice to see More people actually interested in the car instead interested in the 'scene', because the scene will change, and when that day comes, some of us will be looking to buy your cheap parts.

I do like the few people on the internet (mostly ka-t.org) whom took the time to share what they have tried, and tested. These are the true car guys.

Here is my s13... sorry it doesnt have a full widebody kit, or super VIP deep dish wheels, stupid camber issues, or hello kitty stickers, or a massive FMIC or big 3 inch exhaust. I'll install only what I need, not what is necessary to 'fit in'.

I kept pace with a viper in the mountain roads once. All I had done at the time was suspension and tires. Its amazing what a good set of tires and satisfactory suspension can do. He did lose me once the corners loosened up for him. The vipers only traction is its massive tires really.

The big dollar cars usually have what I call 'polar' owners. Either they are really rad car guys, or 'quote the stats' very hard as if they got something to prove. Like I mentioned about ferrari owners somewhere else, the ones that can tell you what tires to use on a track to shave 2 seconds are usually the 'good guys'.

I like where your head's at. :bow:

[Walperstyle]

haha, my best story is from when a friend and I were cruising around in the 510. Some guy comes rolling up in his minivan, probably in his early forties. He starts asking me a bunch of questions about the mileage and year and shit, all amazed that it only has 76k. Right before the light goes green, my friend, who is a notorious asshole, says," yeah, it's a cool car, huh? What year is the windstar, bro?" I had no choice to dive away without a word because of a combination of the fact that I was damn near pissing myself laughing and I felt kinda bad.

Thats a real a-hole friend you have. Many older dudes lost 510s due to rust, or car accidents... dont hate them for misfortune. And whos to say the guy doesnt have a GT3 RS and his minivan isnt a daily driver? You friend is 17 though? so your buds have time to mature up a little toward people that ask about your car. If your friends still are like that when you are in your 20's, i'd find new friends.

[drift freaq]

Well I actually have a story to contribute to this two actually. First was back in the day when I had my clean low mileage Black 91. I had just done my 5 speed swap and I was cruising over on Sunset in Silverlake and a Honda kid comes up on me and starts revving. I was doing absolutely nothing but driving. LOL

The best was when I was driving my old RB car back from Torrance. The 110 was backed up so I do the old get off at Adams and run down Figueroa trick. So I am on Fig and trust me when our cars have a 6 in them they have a distinctly different exhaust note. So here I am in traffic trying to stay out of boost and also trying not to lose my friend who was driving my Black coupe with a Silvia front. All of sudden two lanes over there's this kid in a EG hatch just all up on the revs. Swapping lanes and looking over at me, he totally wants to race. I just looked over at him and started laughing. I pretty much drove off, but not before he went racing up the street trying to show me how fast he felt he was. LOL

[carnagexxxx]

I swear this thread jinxed me the other night!! I was on my way to my GF's house when the D-bag with bright pep boys fog lights jumps right on my ass. We were going through a small town where there is typically no traffic but on this night there were about 4 cars in front of me doing the speed limit. I tried to ignore the douche as best as possible. After we got through the town it turned into back country roads. I decided that being stalked for about 4 miles was enough and decided to get rid of him. I got on the gas, walked away from him but couldn't lose him until we got into some really curvy sections of the road. I will admit I should have kept ignoring him but I figured he wasn't going to get off my bumper (maybe a foot???) and I have handled those roads before. After going through some twisties I gained about 100 yards, I hammered it through a corner onto my gf's road and he sped passed...turned out to be a freaking cavalier.

I know it's not the best solution to a problem like this. Every now and then you have to flex some muscle. Next time I might just call the police...then again where we were, there are none :o/

[HyperTek]

my favorite is the little kids, esp the elementary kids.. they usually go "woah nice car!".
I had the jdm 180k/mh cluster in the old s13, and the bus stop is right next to my old house, kid looks inside "woah 180 mph! thats faster than my dads 350z!" hahah made my day.

[Bigsyke]

Old men FTW though, they are the ones who know really S14's, and always give a complement. I talk with alot of older guys and its funny to hear them say "yea I have one of those, i really like the car" It seems to be an old mans sports car, which is what it origionally was designed for.

[Chernobyl]

my favorite is the little kids, esp the elementary kids.. they usually go "woah nice car!".

I love little kids. A mother approached me at an event and asked if her two kids, about 6-8 year old boy and girl, could sit in my car. I obliged and let them in. They crawled all over the inside, played with the pedals and all that.... I'm pretty sure that made their day. I've never seen kids so happy before.

[udon!]

^
thats too cool. i used to be just like that when i was a liitle kid. me and my friends had a little club in fith grade that woult "street race" fast and the furious hot wheels down the slide at the playground. we would always talk about how we were gunna have supras and crx's with veilside aero and hks exaust. we were the coolest kids on the playground. everyone came to watch us race for money at lunch. good times.i felt so cool back then. but yeah little kids ftw.

Oh, don't get me wrong, he's a nice kid, one of my best friends. He's just always joking and comes across as an asshole to everyone. I find it hilarious.

[TwistAndBurn..Rubber]

Haha i'm definitely on the elementary kids thing. I took my two nephews and my niece to dinner the other night all three are under 10. The roads were clear so i boosted through second up to 45 and they all went wild giggling and doin the "OH MAN'S" plus they loved the BOV the middle one said "that was the best ride of my life" And that makes me feel cooler than gettin the ricer rev of approval anyday.

[coww-cho!!!!!]

i love it when i go to the grocery store and a 5 year old kid is looking at my car and is pointing at it yanking on there moms purses telling them to look at the "cool" car and usually they hang on the moms arm with dangling legs til the auto-door opens and closes

and kids usually go crazy when they hear the 2-way klunk haha

and one day i went to get chinese food, toss it in the car, close the door and this kid comes out of a store and his parents suv is parked next to my car and my car is like a wheel chock compared to the suv so then kid comes up to me and says "wow you have a cool race car! i want one mom!"

[ViciousCesar!]

today at work, this guy asked me if i had a 'V6 RWD version' of the 240sx...

[sleep]

Stories like Mike's are the reason I have no urge to ever put my 240 back on the road. The few times I drove the current car before tearing it down I couldn't go anywhere without some fool assuming I was looking for a FnF style race or someone following me to a parking lot to instigate a damn interrogation about it. Nothing pisses me off more than having a purpose for going somewhere and being held up by a bunch of ignorant kids who think we're best friends because we drive the same type of car. Why people think I would give a flying fuck about them and their car just because it's also a 240 is beyond me. That shit never made sense to me. A decade ago I could drive anywhere and not be bothered by anyone.

Amen. Back in 99 no one even knew what my car was, let alone that it was rear wheel drive.

Nowadays i get stared at constantly (not so bad), and stopped at gas stations, grocery stores, etc. by kids and idiots asking me about it. First question is ALWAYS, "What motor you got in that?", and when/if i answer with "A KA", they look at me like im retarded or they have no clue what the hell im talking about. They expect to hear, SR YO!.

Hell, i've had people chase me down all excited that i'm driving a 'Skyline'!! :bash:

So fucking annoying.

And don't get me started on the assholes that try and race me/cruise side by side with me on purpose while i'm trying to merge off the damn freeway! Speed up, they speed up, then slow down and they slow down with me! GET OUT OF MY WAY ASSHOLE!

[carnagexxxx]

That is such a great attitude! This is what people who spend time, energy, money, blood, sweat, and tears should do with their cars...make others happy!:aw: Think about it, when you were a kid you probably did the same thing...6 years old, see a "sports car" and just to sit in one for 5 minutes made your day!

I remember I was at a drifting event and the organizers asked me and a few others if it was cool to let some spectators go on a ride along. I thought to myself "I freaking suck" but said sure. Gave a few people as crazy a ride as I could and they loved it! It made me realize that making people smile should be key to doing all this.

[Tantwoforty]

when i was younger a friend of mine had a 92? mitsu galant vr-4.
and the sound of the bov made me so giddy it was stupid..
ah the good ol days..
but my hatch is rahter loud, but i shift at like 2100 all the time.. stupid people try to race me all the time.. only time i really hit the gas is when i think i may be in a bad or risky spot...
but yeah fanboys suck..
