My job sits 200 yards from a stop light, 2 lanes each direction, plus turning lanes in all 4 directions from that light, I turn left at that light and the ONLY turn I make between there and my house is a cloverleaf that puts me on the road I live on, albeit 10 miles short of my house. A couple of months ago, some kid is sitting in the furthest left non-turning lane and I am the only car in the turning lane.
Protected turn comes first, I turn left, he turns left from the MIDDLE lane behind me. Just as I exit the cloverleaf 3 miles later, my brother calls me on the phone, "bring me a pack of cigarrettes on the way in," and this tool is still behind me.

5 miles in a VERY straight line on a 6 lane thoroughfare, and this guy has not taken one of the other 2 lanes in our direction, even though I am HOPING he does, trying to force the issue by doing EXACTLY the speed limit. At the end of the 5-miles is where the road changes names, but there is an Exxon, the one I stop at when I need to stop for something. Brakes and signal, he signals too "FUCK!!!" I yell out...
Windows up, sunroof closed, I get out of the car, he doesn't (yet). I get my brother's smokes and a couple beers for myself, come out of the store and he has gotten out of his car:

kid: "Hey, nice car dude, whatcha got in it?"

me: "minor shit, twincam engine, 5-speed swaps, bone stock as it is"

kid: "you gettin a SR?"

me: "Nah, engine was out, I'da got one if I was getting one"

kid: "whatchu got planned next?"

me: "Way too much to stand here and call out"

kid: "you drift?"

me: "you are aware that we're in NC, right?"

kid: "yeah, but MAN, I wanted to get one of these, but all the ones I found were too much or were automatic"

me: *sees opportunity to end conversation and break heart* "word? because I had a 95 before and wrecked it, *points* right up there (I'd wrecked it on a parallell street), and I wasn't exactly looking for another one yet when this one found me... It HAD been an automatic with the single overhead cam auto, but it had no engine and the body/interior was straight and unabused, already set for the twincam to go in, found me for 500 bux. Copped the engine *points to junkyard across the street* over there for 400, tranny free, various parts and what have you from various locations cheap, I MIGHT have 2 grand in this car as you see it right now, including stereo, wheels/tires and everything... Guess I got a good deal."

I HEARD his heart break and he looked like he wanted to cry, so I finish:
"... look dude, I got someone at home waiting on these *motions with smokes* I gotta run"

... then I jump in the car and leave without even exchanging NAMES with this tool.

I got tired of people asking me what my offsets were, so I wrote them on my hood and trunklid. Unfortunately, that only covers the Rikens but not many people know the difference between +17 or +25.

Usually the first question people in Civics ask is "How much did that cost you?" referring to my Silvia front. My usual answer is "Nothing, it came on the car." You can probably guess the question following that.

"Do you have an SR?" is the next most popular question.

From other 240 guys, the question most asked is usually "What coilovers do you have?" The next most popular is "Do you drift?"

The questions I get the most from my friends are "When are you gonna get that thing painted?" and "You bought MORE wheels?"

They ask me "What do you have done?" Which I think is a fair question to ask. But then I tell them I have a few BRACES and they say "So I bet it gets sideways easy huh?" :wtf:

While pumpin up gas in Diamond bar, these kids come out of a honda and start badgering me with questions.
Youngsters: "Dude, thats one sick 240! 5 Speed, right?"
Me: "Yea... sure is..."
Youngster 1: "Dude, i was lookin over one of these with my dad. I told him it saves gas so he would buy it for me. Do you drift? Have you mastered clutchkicking? Or braking drifts?"
Me: "Huh? Whats that? Drift... is that like, stealing or something?"
Youngsters in unison: "WHAT?!?!?! Are you SERIOUS???"
Youngster 2: "OMG, dude, he's a poser!!!"
Youngster 3: "Dude, you should be driving that thing like (that one guy from InitialD that drives a silvia)."
Youngster 1: "OMG, poser!!!"

Then i handle my business with gassin up, and they keep jabbering about Initial D and drifting and what not.

What hurt me most was the name calling. And then i see them in a video, you know, the one with the Miata and the infamous "My Precious car!!!"

I got one for you guys so i take this auto class at the Junior college that i go to and there are these ricer kids in my class with there for door civics and there huge wings. So where in class and i see there looking at a car magizine that has a 240 with a sr in it and hear them arguing whether the cat is a skyline or a 240. at this point im already like wtf? So when i bring in my 89 hatch to work on i pop the hood and they all come walking up and look in and say
omg is that a skyline engine?
im like no thats just the stock sohc motor so he says o ok thats tight
I see you have an after market header says the kid "pointing at my intake manifold"
I continued with my work for the day trying not to laugh in there face rofl.

of cource:
retard: "do you drift?"
me: "dirft? what is "drift?"
retard: 0.0... poser/wtf? why do you even have a silivia then?! (lol @ that... i have a 91 fb... not a silvia, ass)

"got an SR?"
me: "no, I still havent decided if i want to go NA or go KA-T"
"that would be a waste of money! just get an SR they are WAAAAY better for drifting"

"what year probe is that?" <-- guy at my work asked me that...

"dude, are your headlights broken?" (same guy/\)

while i was at a meet in fremont there was a guy with a AE86 that had done a very clean 4AG swap. we were checkin out the engine when he asked me what i drive. i pointed to my car and he asked if i had a SR (:rollseyes:) I said no, im rocking a rebuilt s14 KADE. he said i should junk that "K...A? whatever, truck" motor since it had NO potential and it was a waste of engine space; "not to mention they dont last long and wont go past 130k miles" (his exact words) I was like... "actually they are very torquey little motors that can last past 200K miles if properly maintained."

I guess he didnt want to hear it cause he kinda just said "oh...ok" and we dropped the subject. i swear, people read too many lame ass, BS filled posts on the internet about our cars. Mostly those posts are from people that done even own a 240 and only go by what they hear from other non-240-owning people and initialD. =/ whatever, ignorance is bliss i suppose.

Oh, earlier this week, some cop pulled me over and asked funny questions.

Cop: "So... is this car stock?"
Me: "No, not at all officer. I've got everything you can imagine!"
Cop: "Like an illegal engine?"
Me: "Yea, i've got like, 4 or 5 of those. Wanna see?"
Cop: "Get out of the car, and pop your hood."
Me: "Okay officer!"

So i pop the hood, and he's looking around. Stock SOHC, koyo, crank pulley, optima.

Cop: "Is that one of those SRT20s or something? I hear they go fast"
Me: "Yea, its from JDM. You know where that is?"

And then the cops' partner comes out of the car, saying hey and then all the chitchat about firefighting. We make fun of the first officer, we all chuckle, and then the first cop says "Keep your SRT20s off the streets, ya hear?"

I love knowing nice cops.

whenever i tell people i go to the track to drift, they usually respond, "o the track?? whats your 1/4 mile time???"

I dont get the do you have a SR question as much as my friends with s13's but people still ask from time to time.

i get the do u drift question a lot... but i reluctantly say yes.. cus that just brings up more dumb questions i have to answer, or a conversation i dont want to have.

I mostly get "do you drift?" or "when are you getting the swap?" I'm usually pretty patient and considerate of people's stupidity. This one time I was having a conversation with a friend of a friend that was looking to get a 240 and asked me what I've done to it and I told him about my suspension mods and he had a blank look on his face and then asked me when I was getting an SR. After he told me to get the 300zx brake conversion with a stupid grin and went on to tell me about the "drift" buttons for your ebrake like its a big innovation I walked away.

"So, you've got an SR right?"
me:"um, yeah I guess."
"Sweet. It's the SR20 notchback motor right?"
me:"what?"
"Is it a notchback or a redtop?"
me:"What are you talking about?"
"..........."

"Wow, do you have an airbag suspension?"
me: "No, just coil overs."
"Than how did you get it so low?"

"So, you need AWD for drifting right?"
me:"Maybe if all you drift are RC cars. My car's actually rear wheel drive."
"Whoa, so you must have a lot of skill to be able to drift that!"
me:"............."
"You should bust out a mad drift right here on the street!"

"So what's the most points you've ever gotten drifting?"

"Ah, so I see you did the vtec swap."

"You shoulda painted your car blue so it could be like the one those chicks drive in Initial D"

"So where do you usually drift?"
me: "Fontana."
"Whoa, isn't that an awfully fast track?"

"How much did it cost to do the skyline conversion?"

And now for the "things I overheard in parking lots from people looking at my car" section

guy1: "Hey, Hey, Hey! Check it out, It's a Silvia!"
guy2: "From Gran Turismo, right?"
guy1: "Yeah, I bet he got it imported through Motorex or something"

guy:"Hey, honey. Come check this out!"
girlfriend:"Why do the bumpers look like that?"
guy:"It's a body kit."
girlfriend:"No, I mean why do they have scuffs and cracks?"
guy:" Cuz this guy is a for real drifter, can't you tell? If you drift alot, your bumpers look like this, cuz it gets expensive to keep replacing them.

"What an idiot, he picked the wrong body for a Silvia conversion."

"Wow, a Sileighty. They sure didn't sell too many of these over here."

All you guys do get lots of comments. I dont get that much comment anymore since I got my 97 240sx. It just stock with oem lip and s/s. lowered on kts. I keep my as stock look at possible so no one will notice. If you get dumb comments like those mention, I think cops will notice those things too. I avoid stuff like that.

i think its moreso, these kids think they are in the know. i stress, "think". but from reading, it appears they have no idea what they are talking about. i wouldnt worry about the cops. unless they start pulling you over and asking if your gonna swap an SR or if you drift, or how much your silvia conversion cost you. this thread is getting me prepped for when my car is road worthy.

beating many "fast cars" around with only my I/H/E been asked... wait not asked... they asume!!! "bah that is a fast V6" LOL or they also asume i have turbo O_o

None for me, but my brother told me when he was driving my S14(auto) some kids came up to him at a light.

Kid:Is that a 240?
Bro:Yeah.
Kid: Drift it!
Bro: WTF? *rolls up window*

Not only that he was on a main road that is completely straight and right next to a cop station. Not that it even mattered because it was a stock auto S14 with suspension and wheels.

Guy asking about my 1997 240sx se (not all at the same time)

Guy- "Where did you get that front end?"
Me- "It's the stock front end."

Guy-"Oh, you got a 6 cylinder in there, huh coz it's a silvia?"
Me-"No, it's a 240sx and it has a 4 cylinder."
(Guy has confused look and ponders what the difference is between a silvia and 240sx)
(Me thinking to myself, you dumb ass, silvia's come with a 4 cylinder also!)

Guy- "When you gonna drop in the SR20?"
Me- "Never. I'm keeping it legal."

Guy- "Why don't you do the S15 conversion?"
Me- "If I wanted to do the S15 conversion, do you really think i would have gotten a kouki?"

I was talking to a guy at a kegger one night. I was feeling like pure shit. Had a sinus infection and a ear infection. I get really agitated when sick. I was just chilling talking to a few girls and this putz comes up to me:

him: so I hear you have a 240sx
me: yeah, I have a '90 Coupe
him: do you drift?
me: umm....no
him: you going to put a SR in it?
me: no, I am going KAE-T
him: Whats E for? you should put a SR in it
me: Why?
him: it is made for drifting...
me: Why do that when I can turbo my KA and for the price of the swap and be in the range I want for horsepower? and then if I manage to blow it up, I can afford a new engine instead of having down time.
him: true.
me: yes sir.
him: my buddy has a 300zx, it has rims, Nissan Brakes, exhaust and big wing.....
me: (Very Sarcastically) Nissan Brakes?
him: they are huge!!!
me: (Again, Very Sarcastically) Bro, it comes with Nissan Brakes. Do you own a car?
him: Yes, I own a Cavalier.
me: :walked away:

Swear, its a true story. I cant stand people who know absolutely dick about something and think they know everything. I get shit about selling my Silvia Front and putting on a 91+ front bumper? They are like, "Why did you do that? It would look so much better". Its my car bitch, STFU. :end rant:

i don't really get that many questions but i love the cones. i pretty much only use my car for autoX and DD but that would open up a whole new round of questions.

since i live in west texas most people there can't figure out why i don't drive a full size pickup with huge tires.

okay this is a funny one. One of the best ones I've ever had.

So me and Projekts13 James, Were going into Auto Zone to pick up some sandpaper and turtle wax, to finish up my cars paint. We parked our s13's next to each other. As we were getting ringed out at the cash register, We noticed a group of kids inside a nissan maxima, they were pulling up to to parking space in front of the store, the driver then pulled an E-Brake, and skidded like 1 foot into the parking lot,

The kids came out of the car saying, "dude that was awesome"
"Greaat drifting man" blah blah blah. they talked highly of that e-brake pull.
Well me and james were laughing our fucking asses off haha.

when they were walking in, they saw our s13's and they said
" oh shit look 2 240sx's parked next to each other", and then they came up to me and asked if that was my car.

me: "yea thats my ride"
kids " do you drift "
me: "whats drifting??"
kids: " aww man you have a 240sx and dont know what drift is??"
me: "no lols,"
kids" want to sell your 240sx, i'll buy it, If i had a 240sx I would be drifting at the track every day!"
me: " wow that sounds cool man "
kids: "can we see the car"

then me and james started walking out of the store, and those kids followed us, When we got to our cars they were like drooling like they never seen a 240sx before,

kids " come on man, wanna sell it "
me: "no man, i dont want to sell, and i dont drift"

the kids walked back into the store, me and james, started up our cars, and dori dori'd out of the parking lot, and those kids were just staring as if we were god, good times.

I decided to take a neighbor for a ride just to show him something (Something to do with sticks vs automatics)

Anyways never left second (It was just a quick demonstration)

Well we get out of the car

Neighbor:Now i see what you're talking about.. My car must be jacked then cause it feels nothing like that thing (200X Automatic focus)..
Me:Well that car will never really feel like that (mine) cause of the auto transmission , You'll always have a delay of power until the computer tells the car to downshift.. But from what you tell me it shouldn't delay that long..So you more then likely you'll have to take it to the dealer to get it checked out..
Neighbor:I want my car to sound feel like you're... How would I go about doing that..
Me:Buy a 240
Neighbor:*looks at my car*.. You wanna sell?
Me:NO !
Neighbor:I'd probably get in too much trouble if i had one of those.. What size motor is that? Sounds like a V8 kinda... It must be a V6 right? With at least 250 horses.
Me: Dude it's a four cyl just like yours with only about 125 HP to the wheels...My car is slow
Neighbor: :eek2: :eek:

idiot: what did you do to it?
me: it's stock ( with a very confused look ) :eek3d:
idiot: very puzzled look walks away

my uncle looks at my car says: you have a 2 door CAMRY ?
me : WTF?!!~?~!?~!?~!?ARG!!!!!

idiot with a crx: yo you have the s?? in there?
me: you mean the sr35? ( of course on purpose)
idiot: yea... the sr35... man that thing is a beast
me: get away from me please..

once on the highway

this civic pulls up to me downshifts and floors it... going aobut 50
and it still doesn't move... same 50 as i was cruising beside him while his engine is screaming, while me at around a good 2100 rpm...
idiot: glares at me and smirks...
me: not doing anything.
idiot: starts to pull inch by inch while his cars sounds like it's gonna die.
me: downshift to 2nd and punch it with the ka, match revved to 6200 and then shifted into 3rd HARD, as i hear my intake sucking as much air as possible, leave him in the dust

Guy: Oh, so it's a 260z?

Me: No, it's a 280z

Guy: What year is it then?

Security: So I hear that you're the DK of the LBC.

me: I'm sorry?

Security: Yeah, the DK. C'mon you know exactly what I'm talking about!

me: ?

Security: DK. Drift King. Everyone tells me your the best.

me: Oh. You mean like that movie. I'm not.

Security: Yeah, Tokyo Drift!

me: ....

Security: Yeah, my girl's been doing it for a while.

me: really.

Security: Yeah, she's been sliding around the mall parking structure near our house for a year now.

me::eek3d:

Security: and now that the movie's come out, she's been teaching alot of people how to do it.

me::eek3d: :eek3d:

Security: I rode with her once, there isn't as much to drifting as I thought, she just goes really fast, and yanks the e-brake and spins around.

me::eek3d: :duh:

Security: I'm not really doin it though, I'm more of a street racer.
You should come out to the parking structure, and I'll tell them that the DK will show you how it's done!

me: Um, no thanks, I just drift on the track.

Security:Oh..... Hey, are you gonna drift in this parking lot?

me: I really have to go.

Security: later DK.

now everyone at that bank thinks I'm some crazy illegal street drifter.:rl:

Thats hilarious as shit Yuri. I get a kick out of people who think drifting is all in the ebrake. I was in Wally World (Walmart) reading Turbo Mag and over heard this:

Girl1: You know, that they do in Tokyo Drift
Girl2: Oh Ok.
Girl1: Its pretty easy
Girl2: How do you do it?
Girl1: All you have to do is go fast and pull the ebrake :duh: :rl: :axe:

oh and i almost forgot this one....i let my friend use my car to run to the parts store while i went to class (he drives a civic) and his car was out of commision. when he rolls up to the parts department at the honda dealer, some newbie sales rep runs out and stops him in his tracks with questions. dude was like "WHOA how did u import one of those!! z0mg!!!11 its gotta have like 300 hp doesnt it???" and instead of leading him on, my friend was like "its stock, my buddies, i drive a civic, i gotta go..."
that really never happens to me, most people around here have no idea what it is

Some numbnut from my cousin's wife side just aksed me "is your 240 fast?", "how does it compare to a Civic?". This came from someone that hydrolocked his Civic from trying to drive to a flooded area with a CAI. The other day when I was at Autozone, some chic told me that she was going to buy an S14 (this is just some random person.)

this is not a dumb question someone asked about my car. But it was another 240 owner i was talking to a gas station. He said he had an rb26 swap in his s14 that was at home. So for about a couple minutes, I could knew he was lying. I finally said what intercooler setup were you running. He goes it's the stock side mount. I was like "wait, gtr's never came with side mounts only frount mounts." And he thought my sr was a ca18det haha. I find it really funny also when people ask what kind of blow off valve I have, I say i don't have one. Then they look at me like why do I even own a turbo car.

Had a funny one just a few days ago.

Stopped at a gas station just to pick up a drink...only open spot was right beside an 89 240 with a "For Sale" on it. The guy was standing right there; so I asked him what he wanted for it (looked stock except for some 17" rims.)

Guy: I'd like to get $9,000
Me: That's ALOT to ask...have you done any work to it?
Guy: It has an SR20 in it!!! You interested?
Me: Can you open the hood. I wanna take a look.
(I wasn't interested...just curious I guess.)
Guy: (Opens his hood to reveal a very stock looking DOHC KA)
Me: That's not an SR20...(I explained what it actually was)
Guy: The guy who sold it to me said it was...at least it's turboed though!
Me: No it isn't.
Guy: What makes you think you know all this anyway?
Me: (Open my hood)...that's an SR20...and that is a turbo.

The conversation went on for about 10 more mins.

The guy was driving around for about 8 months thinking he had a turboed SR20, when all he had was a stock DOHC KA swap.

I think "Do you drift?" is a question most posed to me.

"No" is always the answer.

What makes that stupid? It's often asked while I'm standing at the back of the car, and on the trunklid "I don't drift" is written in 2-inch-tall letters.

sr and drifting ?'s r always a must for some reson as well.

the thing i always get without fail is while waiting at a red light the people next to me always start creeping up just waiting for the light change all while staring at me, i guess they're trying to tell me that they're faster than me, then i just drop the clutch and leave them behind, with my stock ka-e.

just the other night i went to barnes and nobles, and this riced out focus shows up, he parks next to me and i swear to god this guy just sat and waited till i got back and then when i turned on my car, he turned on his and while i was waiting for my friend to get in (lol tall people struggle to get in my car) and he took off all fast vroom vroom. then he got to a dip and literally went over it at almost 180 degrees, the sad thing was his car was higher than mine and no body kit or anything.lol funny ricers.

While at an arcade with kids playing Initial D nearby...
Moron - "What kind of car do you drive?"
Me - "S13 coupe."
Moron - "Oh, a Silvia, thats cool."
Me - "No, not a Silvia. If you want to get tecnical, its a Onevia."
Moron - "Whats a Onevia?"
Me - "An S13 coupe with popup lights."
Moron - "Oh... You should make it a Silvia! That shit is tight!"
Me - "Umm... No thanks."
(Few minutes later...)
Moron - "So, do all your friends drift?"
Me - "Nope."
Moron - "So, you do it by yourself?"
Me - "Umm, no, I don't drift. I prefer grip."
Moron - "But... You drive a 240SX..."
Me - "Yeah, whats your point?"
::Moron walks away::

At work (I work at an auto parts store, so you'd think they'd know this shit)...
Stupid counter-guy - "Hey, is that your Legend out there?"
Me - "There's a Legend out there?"
Stupid counter-guy - "Yeah, the yellow one."
Me - "That's not a Legend. Its a 240SX."
Stupid counter-guy - "Oh shit, really?"
Me - "Yes. You're an idiot."
::counter-guy looks pissed and I walk away::

The most annoying is having people that don't know SHIT about 240's tell me that I should put an SR20 in it...

The only thing i can think of is .. Most people (if not all).. I ask the person (whom i just met)..

*Compliment the car (if i can)*

You live around here.
Whatdo you have done to it.
You take it to the track? (Notice that that leaves the answer open for any type of motor sport, not specifically one type)
Then i talk a little about my back ground and my car..
If things go well we'll leave on a good note or we might hang out one of these days (Swap info #,AIM name,MSN name,E-mail ,etc.)

Never do you just say (Before even saying "hi") "DO YOU DRIFT THAT THING !?!?!!?" Or "DO YOU HAVE AN SR IN THERE !?"... "YOU BETTER NOT HAVE A FRIGGING TRUCK MOTOR IN THAT THING.THAT'LL HELLA LAME YO !"

I think that's the main thing that bothers most of us... If you don't have anything nice to say or is you don't know what you're talking about (To save yourself from looking like an idiot) then stay quite or give the occassional not/salute/thumbs up/etc. Jesture and be on your way.. I have never seen someone be offended over that..

I had a guy say something to the effect of, " Well basicly 240s were made for drifting.". This guy owns a 240, and I have no clue where people come up with this shit. I had a guy the other day(mind you,I'm deployed) whos a Suby owner, say the S15 was made by nissan for drifting. I then told my finacee I have to go. And proceeded to leave her work place, I am 100% clueless as to where these ppl get this info that car manufacturers made any vehicle specifically for drifting.

ONYX S-13

07-25-2006, 12:26 PM

Not a question but instead a comment.

"Thats just about the sickest car there is!" :loco:

Guy said that about my bone stock 240 while I was sitting in a parking lot waiting for a tow truck because the pivot ball broke. :rofl:

Ha ha ha.. I get that a lot too but they are from little kids that live in my apt complex.. They all think that my car and the 3,000GT(SL) that live there are like pure sports cars...

I was filling up one day and this guy and 2 of his friends come up in a Mazda 6 wagon.. As i get out of the car he says "That's a nice car".. I smile and say "thanks.. I like that one too (Not being sarcastic.. I want of of those for the family car)".. He gets a weird face like I'm joking or something...

I mean i like the way FB's look and S14's but I'm not drooling over any of them (In stock form).. Kinda makes me feel good owning it (Even though it's almost 20 years old and 90% of those comments are from kids 10yrs. old and younger:) )

My neice also likes the FB's.. Everytime she's visiting she reminds me that i said that I'll give her my car when she gets her license (Which keeps slipping out of my mind :P).. It's also the only car she uses when she plays GT4.

me:thank you *walks out*.

old guy in parking lot of walmart: "man I thought chevy built the corvette not nissan?"

random kid in prelude circuit city parking lot yelling accross the parking lot: "YOU GOT THAT SR SWAP YET OR STILL HAVE A DAMN TRUCK MOTOR"
me(feeling like an asshole):its a ka24de..

(at a pool party with uncle)
guy:I have a supercharged foxbody...
me: yeah I have a 240sx and an integra
guy:WOW what do you think of that rotary engine!?

I have gotten alot of the classic "do you drift" and etc too.

I've gotten "nice prelude" in my integra once before,too.

Today I was at a SEMA pre-production measuring session. My S13.4 was parked right outside the door, and while I was measuring brakes on a new ford vehicle, two head SEMA guys were checking out my car and chatting over it. They were older middle-aged guys, and were going on about how cool my frenched gas door was before they realized it was that way because the widebody. I ended up talking with them, and they were both really impressed with my car, even though all they knew about it at first glance was that it was a Nissan. I thought it was really neat that these cool older guys would get so excited over a Nissan 240SX, and came up to me during the session several times to ask me questions and tell me how cool it was. It really made my day, I take compliments for what they are.

Seing as how drifters, or people who own the car and associate themselves with the crowd, make up such a big portion of the 240 community, I dont think it's a dumb question at all. What are they supposed to think.
Your really calling them stupid for not knowing you well enough to be able to make that judgement. Drag, or grip isnt the 1st thing the comes to mind to most people when they think of 240's.

They're supposed to THINK, not assume.

I've talked to many people who seem to think that 240s are only good for drifting. I change the minds of people at the track but there's only so many people I can convert at a time.

You don't have a 240 anymore, yet all I ever see is you coming into different threads, trying to be world police, and defend the people that do not have a precense on the board.

I'm used to the freeway flybys, people tailing me and kids in their imports

I get the 'Do you drift?' question whenever people talk to me.

A while back I was having problems. Car wouldn't start when warn - turned
out TPS plug was loose - and left me stranded at Pep Boys.
I ask an older latin guy driving a beat up pick up truck for a jump.
Typical guy from the neighborhood - mustached, thick accent, etc.
He agrees to help me and whips out his battery jumper. He sees the SR and starts
talking about his cousin's 240... how he's got the same engine but it's a
couple with Silvia front and so on.

That's the day when it really dawned on me just how popular/played-out 240s are when
even a guy that can hardly speak English knows about SRs, Silvias, etc.

The compliments (which are few given that my car looks like ass) are welcomed no matter ho ignorant they are

the issues i have are with other statments

from the stree racer kids "they say that if you add some bolt ons to the SR it can lay down mad tyte 1/4 mile times yo!" and "everyone says you should do the SR swap because it makes the car hella faster!"
I have an SR swap but that is not really the point I just want to know who the hell "they" and "everyone" are and why these omnipetent beings have decreed modifications that should be done to MY car I am really thinking of getting a sticker made for my bumper that just says "don't listen to they"

I also hate anyone that says "well you should do this or that to your car" end yourselves! if you want to see that done you do it cuz I think its stupid.

Ok u kno what this thread is getting out of hand. For those who get "got an sr" why are you so offended? What offends you? Why are you offended by people thinking you have a fast car? Why do you guys take so much pride in owning 2k cars. Whocares if they think your sr or you drift? You wanna know why you tell them you dont drift? Because one either you cant and are too inexperienced to or two your too poor to do it and cant afford what it cost to do that fun sport. Stop being so uptight about your cars, because all of you know youd love to own a S15 or a fully built s-chassis period.

got asked one time, ok, 2,3,4,5-10 times, i can still take it, but if u just got asked by every dumbass kid on this question everywhere, (note: they dont even know what is SR, they just think SR is the strongest engine in the world, some even think SR is a 6 cylinder) you will really get annoyed. i didnt hate it so much, i just dun like the way ppl think. and yes i got an SR so what? isnt it just a car? but do i drift? no!

btw... i just got this fresh off the oven
i was tryin take some picture on my car for wallpaper, a guy walked by
Guy: is it 4 cylinder or 6
me: 4
Guy: (a little disappoint)...oh... it got ...good gas milage..

congrats noob you said your piece...you didn't change our minds and we will still bitch about your friends asking us dumb questions...and actually there are quite a few people with S chassis that don't drift and have competition race licences and shit which tells me three things 1. they have a lot of skill 2. they have a decent amount of money because campaigaing a car like this is not cheap and 3. you are a complete idiot

wtf was that all about? anyway Ill give you an example, my friend recently associated himself with a "new" crowd of peers. They were in a "fixed up" corolla, no not ae86 but the new 2004 corollas. The guys in the backseat saw my car and said

"whoa do you drift that???"

I smiled and laughed a little, I knew exactly what they were thinking but I wasnt going to be an asshole about it, because I have no idea who these guys are and dont know what else they know about life besides cars.

"nah man I dont drift, and right now its an auto"

"wow are you serious!? auto, well thats cool man I want a 240 too"

turns out the guys are pretty cool other than their car hobby. Anyway point is theres no reason to automatically be an asshole to someone you dont know, they probably just suck at knowing or being as "leet" as you about cars! :bigok:

since i'm a girl the best ones are...

'is that your car?' (this is my favorite question on myspace. its like why would i post like 4 or 5 pics of someone else's car?)
'did you fix it up yourself or did your boyfriend do it for you?' (that's a fucked up question. that's just being ignorant. i think its funny when ppl come up to my bf at the track and ask him if he's driving today and he says 'no' then points at me and says 'but she is.')
'do you drift?'

I went to Kroger at around 1am one night to pick up some ice cream for the girl that was with me. One of the night shift guys says to me as I'm walking out "Nice car, what is that....a Suburu".....I didn't know how to come back except with "Thanks, it's a Nissan"...as I was sort of laughing while I was saying it.

I figure I answer yes to almost any question now even if it not true

sr? yes (I don't have one)
drift? yes ( I don't I drag)
is that a silvia ? yes
fast? yes
slow? yes

help please these guys. No use explaing what the diff between 180sx/silvia/240sx. It help keep them from spread even more false info and you would know who is really a 240sx owner when they ask the right question.

08-21-2006, 06:09 PM

I never got "do you drift?"
Untill I was hardparking at HIN this weekend.
Up until then it was always "How long have you been drifting?"

But at HIN, I was asked "do you drift?" all the time, and I swear that someone's head was going to explode each time I said yes.

Best question ever was "Why did you enter HIN with a bent rim?"
My answer: "My buddy and I wanted to see what HIN was all about and entering a car was cheaper than buying tickets."

^~~ Nice Yuri. I got a couple brainbusters last week.

"Were all 240's FWD???"

I got a sticker on my driver's quarter glass to answer all these questions. Yet assholes still ask. My sticker reads:

"No it's not a Silvia, No, I dont have a SR and No I dont Drift"

Pulled into a Sheets to get gas. Guy facing my driverside door yells out from a Maxima,

"Do you drift?"

I shook my head and said, "Whats that?"

He then preceded to tell me he Drifts his CR-X instead of SCCA-ing it since it slides better???? WTF???

I get the same questions as everyone else, i just tell them that I am too broke to drift.

But here is the odd thing. I can be on the opposite side of a parking lot away from every building, I open up my hood to check my oil or do something... and out of no where a crowd with form. And then the first question comes

Is it an SR? .... yes... (somtimes I'll say no to throw them off)

Does it have turbo? No... (although my plug cover says INTERCOOLER TURBO they still feel the need to ask... so i tell the illiterate child no)

Do you drift? Why yes... with my shitty tires, open diff. (before I got my LSD), shitty springs, and blown shocks.

Are you any good? Yes... I started when I was 8. They created initial d after me.

And then another common question: Why do you spend all your money on that?

08-31-2006, 12:00 PM

I've got some pretty bad questions in the past...but this one takes the cake...

Dude in a S14 pulls up to me at a signal:

Dude: Nice car man!
Me: Thanks dude, you too, that S14 looks pretty sick.
Dude: S14? HAHAHAHA! What the fuck man, I drive a 240, not a S14!
Me: :duh:
Dude: Peace brah
Me: :smash:

Ever since my car's stock KA24E ate a piston ring, and started with the piston slap/sounding like DEATH from a mile away, I've been getting some ridiculous questions from 240 owners!

Like:
"Dude, your car is dying! Get it fixed!"
Yeah, thanks. I know.

Here is my story.

There is a hillbilly domestic family down the street where I live. Usually have 3 or 4 cars in the driveway jacked up. I try to ignore them. They do burnouts in front of my house.

One day I was doing a brake job, one of them pull and yells "Your 240 s x SUCKS!" and drives off. I can tell he is just reading the trunk.

WTF!!

This with my 65 Buick Riviera in plain sight in my garage.

Priceless e-mails that I have.

Hi Amanda,
When we first looked at all the pictures, there was not one from the direct rear view but more from the side. It is not very important but if you can take this view, plus we would like picture of engine with hood open. We noticed on front views that there is a gap between hood and fender? We ask a local body shop how much it would cost to fix it and they said it's around $900. And one final question, why is it listed as for off-road use only if it's not a truck/suv?
We just don't want to make the trip to GJ just to be disappointed.

10-19-2006, 05:56 PM

I had to go measure some brakes at a Jeep dealership, and as soon as I pull up in my S13.4, a sales guy runs out, and says "You gonna sell me this car?"
"um. No."
"I bet you drift this thing, huh?"
"sometimes."
"Man, I see that on TV all the time, it looks insane. So can I get you into a new car today?"
"I'm happy with this and my Mitsubishi Evo, thanks."

Earlier the same day, some guys were checking out my car, and started to ask me how to "start the drift"
They then looked at my car, and were like " Yeah, this is pimp, drifting ain't no car show, but this is pimp."
One of them then looked at my bumper, with it's scrape, and goes "You keeps it reals, dawg."
This was coming from a white guy in his late thirties.

"How come you don't have an SR?"

"Oh this thing has a stock KA?"

haha, I loved being asked "Why don;t you have an SR or turbo" I just reply, because I dont want one right now.
I have found, over thr past few years, that the most effective answer to "do you have an SR?" is a confrontational "why?" and REMEMBER, tone of voice is everything, the "why" has to make them full aware that you do not desire one and they must realize how they have now painted themselves into the corner of still having to try to explain why you should want one.

... I LOVE how that spot I put them into ends a conversation.
