SilviaDriver · 05-13-2003, 02:13 PM

i plan to go..hopefully i can wake at 5am

s13chica · 05-18-2003, 07:01 PM

I went to the auto-x today and it was lots of fun. I was so stoked to see that there were quite a few 240's out there. Although I didn't get my *** up at 4 in the morning to be able to drive....I did bring the 240...it was the hatch with the blue body and tan bumper..stylish huh? I wish I could have met more of the drivers, but I guess that'll just have to happen another time. Oh yeah....congrats to everyone who drove...you guys rock!

I think I saw you in the parking lot. I was the guy who yelled "nice ride."

kaidoy · 05-18-2003, 07:26 PM

Overall the event was pretty good. From what I heard, people that got there after 5am didn't get to run.

There was about 5 or so 240sx's entered. It was kind of funny to see the s14 with the gold advan rgs exit the track after one lap.

s13chica · 05-18-2003, 07:32 PM

jason- yeah that was me...thanks for saying hi!

ootranceformeroo · 05-18-2003, 08:02 PM

haha yeah i was with jason too. your ride is sweet. what do you have in it?

UberCaff · 05-18-2003, 08:03 PM

That s14 was pathetic. That kid and the dude with the Acura legend were way in over their head. Did anybody get pics? I brought my ghettocam and took some pics, I'll post them later if they look decent. Was it just me or was there no Miatas?

kaidoy · 05-18-2003, 08:08 PM

ootranceformeroo · 05-18-2003, 08:09 PM

The Acura Legend sped through the pit, and didn't even pick up a timeslip. Thats gangsta.

haha.

Jason

SilviaNinja240 · 05-18-2003, 08:49 PM

what the?! a GTR? How'd that get there?!?!

UberCaff · 05-18-2003, 08:57 PM

The R32 is crazy, last year he ran most of the run drifting after he ****ed up.

MrMigs · 05-18-2003, 08:58 PM

i wonder if anyone saw me go. I was the 3rd car to leave -- after the celica. The timeslip paper says i got an 81.758, but i thought I did a lot better than that... weird. oh well.

ootranceformeroo · 05-18-2003, 09:38 PM

yeah i saw your car. you were the first run i saw and i was like...hey that guy did the 97-98 conversion. well anyways nice car. I wanated to know where you got your parts to do the conversion. thanks

oh yeah...that guys had his gtr for awhile.

Ya i saw you, u got an 81? Your run was smother then mine, I got a 79.sumtin, cant find the slip. I was the red 240 that was in the last half of the pack.

Man, i want a recount LoL

I didn't even stay much longer after my run. I got to DeAnza at like 2:30 AM and slept a little on the floor and then for a while in my car. I was much too tired to watch the whole event -- I just saw a few more runs, like that dark red 240z and like 1 or 2 S13s. Now my blanket's kind of dirty from sleeping on the floor, and I didn't have time to wash it. ****.... I gotta use it tonight -- I guess I'll just try to keep it away from my face.

But yessah.... that was my first autox ever... it was pretty fun, but I'm not really used to following cones... I dunno... it just seemed kind of weird somehow. After I raced, I just wanted to go straight to bed -- so thats what I did. Slept straight through lunch... had an early dinner... it's about 10:15 PM right now, so I might go out and get a snack.

Actually, there's a funny/crappy story behind that. It's not a front end conversion.... it's a rear end conversion

My car is actually a '97.

I've always liked the Zenki rear end more than the Kouki one. I always thought the Kouki lights looked too ripply... I guess it just wasn't in my style. Then, a few months ago, I got a ticket and I needed to do something quickly to get money in order to pay it off. I ended up trading rear lights with Hidaoka at Signal Auto in Torrance, CA. He has a black Zenki, and I think he's planning to convert the body style to Kouki. So, he was more than willing to get his hands on my rear lights -- he said no one else was willing to trade with him.

Anyway, I told him I'd trade him rear lights for 150 dollars. So, I got some Zenki lights plus some cash to pay off the ticket. I don't regret my decision... kind of makes my car look original in a way.

ootranceformeroo · 05-18-2003, 11:15 PM

haha thats a pretty funny story. man i was going to ask if you still had them b/c im looking for some also. if you ever find someone that doesnt want them or is selling them let me know. [email protected]

MrMigs · 05-18-2003, 11:19 PM

Sure. I shall let you know... but it seems like all the 240s here in Northern cali are all Zenkis... the only other Kouki driver I know is Anthony from Tracy... hmm odd... It's reversed in Socal... like, more Koukis than Zenkis... weird.
