My Lightning McQueen

[miggsfiggs]

Don't know if this has came up before;but I can't help but feel that the famous kids movie "Cars" is based on a car from Nissan the S chassis.The character model looks to be that of a Silvia design;In the first movie Lightning McQueen learns to drift, and in the second movie he goes to Japan and makes things more interesting.I have seen the first movie and only seen previews for the second one,but I know that the cars emblem is a lightning bolt which looks very similar to the Silvia logo.I really would like a paint job just like it and I know it will be expensive to get it just right.What do you fellow zilvians think?Am I in love with my s14 so much that I start to see them in big budget kids movies?Now last but not least,my car is a 95 240sx,and the cars' number in the movie is also a 95,everything seems to add up,lots of people won't agree with me;of course they would like to think that the movies main character is american muscle,but I am pretty sure,that in the end it is a Silvia that fits this character the most.
P.s I would have loaded some pictures of my car and Lightning McQueens,but I don't know how the hell to do this.

I think you're probably crazy.

[chuki.s13.coupe.]

Lightning mcqueen is based off a corvette and dodge viper.

[miggsfiggs]

Is that a fact?Drifting came from Japan;in fact the whole movie is about learning to drift and then he takes out all the fools from Daytona and in the second one he goes to Japan and I am sure he continues to drift here and there.I need to watch the second film.

[$bossdrifta4eva$]

BAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Says the 16yr old still in grade school.

[$bossdrifta4eva$]

oh ya laugh it up laught it up thats real nice...:nono:

[miggsfiggs]

Don't call me "Bro".I am interested in a paint job so I am researching.I think would make an instant classic.Specially if it says rusteez on it and I am drifting the fuck out of it.There is nothing childish about a good movie you go and watch with your kid.

[miggsfiggs]

Hahahaha!!!I just realize you are 16.

bro what is there to research. it's a character from a kids movie, paint your car red and get a plate that says rusteez or something. and how the hell does it look anything like a nissan.
this def one of the stupidest threads i've ever taken part in. what is it today? between this gem and the dude inquiring about the infiniti s14...:wtf:

[nikkisixx69]

stop watching kids movies

[WhipsGoneWild.net]

hahah i got a 3 yr old son and my s13 is red so he calls it mcqueen race car! my woman thinks i should (finally) use my vinyl cutter and do it up! lol but it may be awkward drivin around town ppl may thing im a pedafile trying to lure in little boys

[cdlong]

You mean this guy?

I'm not sure I agree with you that it's silvia based, it seems pretty much American/NASCAR style. If you really want to do it, a vinyl wrap is probably best way to do it. Just talk to a vinyl shop, they can put together a design for you. If you do it, you should get a windshield reflector/cover thing and put some eyeballs on it.

[turbo2nr]

wow is zilvia really having a discussion about lightning mcQueen?

smh

[miggsfiggs]

Hahaha!!Too funny.Like the thread states some ppl just won't agree.

[miggsfiggs]

I am just saying,the resemblance it's as close as Barac Obama and Osama Bin Laden.lol.

[raz0rbladez909]

I agree with sidewaysil80, this is one of the dumbest/wierdest threads I have ever seen on zilvia. Are you on something man? What makes you think it would be even remotely cool?

[miggsfiggs]

I am not trying to seem cool.You can all be cool; if you are not interested in the thread, you can tell me how the hell I load pictures up in here.I am new at this.There's an icon that reads Insert image it brings up url http:Where do I go from there.
@CDLong thanks for the info might just look into that,being that I really want to focus on performance for my 240,this would be a budget approach to the looks of the car.

Upload your pics to photobucket or a similar site, you can then get the url for it once it is uploaded, input that url into the image box, or you can do it as an attachment at the bottom whenever you post a regular reply and get it directly from your comp

[joshchewuhh]

WTF!:picardfp:

[cdlong]

this would be a budget approach to the looks of the car.

A full vinyl wrap is far from cheap. I've never priced it, but $1500+ sounds about right. But compared to a full custom paint job, it would be. And you can remove it easily when you get sick of people making fun of you.

Thanks,I of course can't sell or trade anything here without knowing that.As for the thread, it is just for fun,beats facebook.I have a Z31 and would like to think this is a japanese version of a vette.S14 a japanese version of a mustang,and because the s14 inline four threatened the mustang,they had to make emmision laws,therefor we did not get the sr20det.The Z31 won trans am series in 86 and they outlawed twin turbo in future competition.I know I wiki'd that shit.

[xptnike]

rofl man....this thread is hilarious...

but on a serious note, hey...do what you want to your car, everyone has their opinions...would be very unique to have a lightning mcqueen s14...lol

Really? That's why we didn't get the SR20?

[miggsfiggs]

Thanks,that's what's up.I was thinking the same thing.I have two part time jobs and work on the side so hope to see progress in the future.As for the thread,I have met people that think their car is Nightrider just because it is black or feel like Racer X when they drive their car.I know I was Racer X one Halloween,but I had a asian schoolgirl as a date for the party.Man...I'm just shmokin sum shit.;lol

Dude. Dude... You are fucking retarded.

Since you're so into Wikipedia, you probably enjoy Google as well, right? Of course you do. So here's something for you to Google: "How to kill myself". Read up, and please, do the world a favor and apply what you learn.


Now, in the event that you are a troll, which I feel is unlikely as you appear to be legitimately stupid, I say to you... Well played.
But either way, whether you're a troll or just a complete dolt, go away.

[miggsfiggs]

Haha!!Yeah,you know it's a crazy idea,but I'll take any comments.Not necessary would it have to be an exact copy of the car,but more of a sinister look(it does get lots of paint jobs in the flick),but maybe the 95 on the door or something,a key element to the look.I think,to get it just right, I will need a kouki front;though I don't plan on getting that anytime soon.

[S14DB]

I work with kids and I make a "Cars" puzzle with them every Sunday. No way it's based off an S-Chassis. It's an American Movie, made before Drifting really took off. No way in hell is it an S-Chassis.
Plus driving around as a child movie character would make you look like some kind of a rapist/creeper.

you should just save yourself the trouble and just buy a Nascar

[STEEZxIT]

I feel bad for those 2 nissans.

[bmhossain]

In no way does McQueen look like an S chassis. Why are we even having this conversation? Buy a cavalier and paint it. Did you hoinestly think you could post this on Zilvia and get any other kind of response?

[cdlong]

If you stand back a little you can get the whole car in the picture without using some obnoxious camera angle.

[miggsfiggs]

Don't feel bad for them,they're in good hands.the Z has like 103,000 miles...not bad for a 23 year old car.The S used to be auto and was converted to manual.

[Razi]

If you stand back a little you can get the whole car in the picture without using some obnoxious camera angle.
But the Myspace angle brings all the boys to the yard.

[miggsfiggs]

@ bmhossasin;I can't ever own a Cavalier again.I have own one and they are a piece of shit.I have own a Dodge 600 old lady car,Chrysler Cordova from Avril Lavigne one of first videos,first car I tought myself how to ride a manual transmission was a toyota tercel(cuz I had to get it home).I also had a crx I got for free and then sold...that was a bitch.
And the thread...I trip out when I think about how Japan has had like a 20 yr jump in time...I know it can't be,but I look at things like 4 cylinder nissans that if they are turbo'd or not they aren't going anywhere.
I look at the CRX and that car gets the same milage as any prius or versa or saturn but is an old car,and it has probably seen lots of track time with very little issues.Fiesta just now made its debut,and don't get me wrong I love the new Mustang v6...but that's just the thing;I love the v6 because I feel the 2011 is the most bang for you're buck,and maybe 67 is one of my favorites;I am not a fan of v8,though to be fair the only V8 I have driven is a Mach 1 ford mustang (like 02 two or sumtin') and a tahoe was probably some good times that I have had.
Japanese automotive companies have always givin you the best bang for your buck.Of course their is bmw and mercedez,but I feel you have to pay for the euro luxury.I am not about luxury.I don't like chrome on my ride,and of course you have to support the American market to an extent,but I feel like the Japanese Market is censored because they thrive,and they thrive in almost every aspect.

[simmode1]

OP, plz stop procreating. I can't believe some 27 years old is really considering this seriously. Someone needs to re-up their meds.

[camaro379ss]

If you have ever seen the second half of the movie then you'd know that the car is based off of a corvette in my opinion hence the classic corvette/ new c vette paint job.

And by the way cars is a badass movie no matter what age you are. Just dont get carried away with like......oh I dont know....making your non corvette look like it.

[miggsfiggs]

Remember the Toyota recall?Something about brakes not working properly,in the end it turned out to be just the bad drivers that got in accidents.I am not tall, I am 5'6.I don't come from a big family so big cars for me just make me feel smaller.Hahaha!Laugh all you want.I can understand when a huge ass dude(or just a fat ass person) 6'2 or bigger gets a Big ass Yukon or Denali,but not a little midget lady feeling she is the king of the road when she is on the road,when a miata would have just made her a better driver.I am saying that we should be able to buy anything we want,without the media telling us what we should choose from.Europe has a shit load of fuel efficient cars why don't they ship some of them over here?Are we waiting for the turbo inline four version of the Stang?They can call it pony.

wrong
as an ex toyota tech
the recall was about floor mats
had to trim the bottom of the gas pedal and shave the foam under the carpet
was nothing to do with the brakes

[Hywarp161]

:duh::eek2::duh:

[4DOOR_LIFE]

Reading the OP's first post i thought he was gonna be something like 15 or 16. then i see he's almost 30 wanting to replicate a car from a kids movie because he thinks its based off a japanese chassis.

as it was said before you can obviously tell that lightning mcqueen was based off a nascar platform. you are thinking way too hard about this to think they based him off a silvia. just coincidence bro.

smh

[miggsfiggs]

What ever it was;it wasn't a big deal,but it was 'big"news.Like hey don't buy any Toyotas cuz you'll crash and burn.
@camaro379ss-You believe it is a vette just because of a paint job;that's the reason it reminds me of my silvia,because it is red.I am going with the theme of the movie...he learns to drift,has a lightning for a logo which reminds me of the silvia emblem.Look at the headlights those don't look like any stang or vette I ever seen.

[90hatchie]

the car was actually based off a viper and a vette
stop smoking crack

[camaro379ss]

no I believe the car is a vette because thats what it looks like. Yes there is some viper in that...but s chassis you are off your rocker.

They make red porsches.... do they remind you of your car cause its red???

And hey they didnt paint it looking red and rusty like a s chassis.......j/p

[4DOOR_LIFE]

Lightning is no car in particular, but has elements of many sports cars. His headlights are just stickers and he has many sponsor decals on his sides, both similarities to NASCAR cars. Pixar was shown a Corvette by GM, which influenced his design. His overall profile was inspired by the Ford GT40. His tail resembles that of a Dodge Viper, while the tail lenses and roof are consistent with a Ford Mustang. The full size tour car is based on a Pontiac Firebird. His custom two-tone paint and tires are from a 50s Chevrolet Corvette. Overall, his appearance is a hybrid between a stock car and various other sports cars, but tilted slightly towards the stock car style. He can be considered an overall generic race car.


GENERIC race car. all of the ideas came through different american cars.

[camaro379ss]

He is based on generic NASCAR vehicles, but with design influences from the Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge Viper . Late in the film, he is painted much like the Chevrolet Corvette C1.



10sec search found that its not a s chassis

[miggsfiggs]

not so much a zenki; but a red zenki.
Fwree t post pictures.I waznt to see all the red cars out there.

[usajdm]

Not to 1-up you, but Wingo is based on an Eclipse.... while Boost was based on the S15.
Just goin off some buddies that actually worked on the film.
Ive had to have them tell the whole back story of every CAR to my nephews a million times.
Pixars actually pretty into researching things before they just go throwin stuff on the screen.

[STR8 H8N]

Lightning McQueen, typically referred to by his surname McQueen, and occasionally called "Stickers" by Sally, is the main protagonist and is voiced by actor Owen Wilson in the films and by Keith Ferguson on other occasions. He is named after Glenn McQueen, a Pixar Animator who died of melanoma in October 2002, although the car shares certain traits with actor and race car driver Steve McQueen. His overall profile was inspired by stock cars and a "more curvaceous Le Mans endurance racer", e.g., Lola and Ford GT40.[1] His number, 95, is a reference to the year Pixar released its first feature-length movie, Toy Story.

[simmode1]

Jesus Christ... 3 pages about making a 240 look like Lightning Mcqueen?! Will somebody just lock this damn thread. Zilvia's collective IQ is dropping by the second because of its mere prescence...

:lockd:

[miggsfiggs]

Has anybody seen the second movie?Why do they go to Japan?and what cars come out in the film?
It happens with Transformers;where I suppose it is a Japanese cartoon right?but all the cars are chevy camaro hummer pontiac.Where's the GT-R?I am excited about Dark of the Moon;cuz like you,I am a movie goer.
Just thought would make a fun thread.
I am not trying to replicate something from the film,just thinking that if all the cars where lined up next to each other the silvia would come looking most like the main character.

[camaro379ss]

the second movie doesnt come out until june 24th. so how has anyone seen it?

[miggsfiggs]

I want to start working on my car;and I wanted to know what you people on zilvia think about welding a differential,because it is something that I have considered.I want to do things to it but don't know what direction to take it.Some ppl say sr some ppl say turbo is the way to go on your ka.I would honestly like to keep it a ka,but should I rebuild before going turbo.My car used to be an automatic;would this make a difference?What kind of a kit should I buy?I am new to drifting,and this year wasn't the best for me being that I got my car impounded and when I got it back the crank pulley was broken.This had to be someone at the yard right?

Jeez I thought the original part of this thread was bad but seriously? Look at everything you're asking, now take every one of those questions and go type them into the search bar, or google. Welded diff is fucking stupid, and have fun in the rain when you're not trying to slide around everywhere. For a 27 year old you should be able to make decisions on your own by now, don't ask generic questions like "what do I do?" because you're going to get 50 people telling you different things, do whats best for your budget. You've been around for a few years now man, start acting like it, these questions would be expected from someone who just joined.

[bejota180sx]

of course it's based on a silvia!
cause silvias only came out in 95 only and we race all the time in nascar style races!

-_-*

edit: i just read the whole thread completly and i feel a bit more stupid for having even answered...

[TheRealSy90]

I think it would be easier to make your 240 look like Mater.

[94spitfire91]

Lol your pictures i want to see the resemblance you see between mcqueen and an s14. As for the comments their hilarious im enjoying this thread
