I like my SR to shot fireballs like Ryu...*hadouken!* =P

yeah yeah... "SR cleaner than KA, but does it have EGR? NOx is the leading cause to the destruction of the ozone. That is why we have the EGR valve, to burn off the excess NOx. Which is the leading cause to the destruction of our precious ozone layer"

blah blah blah, I dont give a fk

I was being sarcastic on that last post.

^^^^^I agree with him, I just got off my ref ticket from that one night at autobacs and man it was a headach because two days later I blew a fucking bearing. But they ref me for my DC headers though and loud exhaust. Wack! But got the motor rebuild just kept the intake but no headers just dippin low and clean and thats cool for me right now. By the why I don't know if it was you but a couple weeks ago i think I saw on the 710n and you roll up on me I was rolling in the gold 240. Nice whip and your car was really quite and low. Pimp!!!!

We are on the same boat.

Handling, aero and agressive wheel is a must have for me, SR and KA-T just give me more trouble also toss more money into the car. I recommand save your money for better car like Z, G35, WRX, S2000 or EVO.

I too will prob just do simple bolt-ons...although trying to spin my 18s is hard with this KA. SR is cool but IMO, its not worth the hassle in dealing with 50. SDPD and CHP in San Diego know what to look for.

Ehh, i daily a sr20, i drive by cops, my gaygen exhaust is loud and leaking, yeah stupid i know. But the cops don't hassle me, why? cause i drive like a normal person, and just to get the cops off my back i would actually wave and have a big smile on my face.

Honestly its kinda scary rolling next to a cop, like today heading toward gwc, 2 cops on my booty, they didn't do anything. Because I just drove normal, yeah I was little worried they might smell the fumes, but they just pass me and didn't even bother looking at me.

I'm with dolphin so far *knock on wood* Just this weekend at around 1:30am I was driving my 240, and its dropped pretty low, wheels, Hi power exhaust and I KNEW I had a bad tail light wen i was coming home and a CHP drove right behind me then just passed me, didn't even hesitate. I was going like 65mph the entire time I was on the freeway.

I'm sorry but that does not sound JDM when you want a "really clean JDM kouki" with a KA it just doesnt make sense. Its like a mexican chick trying to be "blonde" and dyes her hair BLONDE. FAIL.

cc4usmc

Well he's obviously referring to a JDM Kouki exterior genius.



Of course people have got their cars impounded. downshift_sideways had his impounded and had to pay like $2300 to get it out. The REF ticket alone is $371. Sure, having a beat ass car helps, but I know a guy with a beat ass car that still got pulled over. I swear by this... It all depends on the officer. I've had people in my area with slammed cars, fender flares, stickers, and crazy exhausts that have gotten pulled over and not even had their hood popped. Mine isn't so crazy, and I've had my hood popped every time I've been pulled over. Do you think people just make these stories up for the hell of it?

Why doesnt it make sense? No one in the US is 'JDM' unless they have a true right-hand drive anyways...so what does it matter or whats your point? He wants his car to have the JDM kouki aero with the stock KA24DE. Not like no one else on this forum has that same exact setup. Its like saying your 1989 240sx is a RPS13 when in fact it isnt...its a 240sx.

I know right, knock on wood too LOL, but yeah on the real, its just how you drive. I take a lot of trips to LA and back and I just drive 70 mph all the way home, CHP would pass me would just look at me, ill just smile and wave, and they will go on there way. Im really afraid of motorcycle cops though, but they just fly by me and wouldn't even car about me or my loud annoying exhaust.

(ryceboy 124) ^^^^^LOL!!! you made a good point so what if the car looks clean with jdm goodies with a stock KA!!!!!!! It's his car and what ever he wants to do with I say go ahead everybody here has their own ways of putting their cars together!!!

Avante

SR is for jdm fan boys.

real men run big block v-8s in their 240s.

if you have to second guess yourself on whether you should worry about putting a SR in your car, then you probably shouldn't do it.

you gotta pay the cost to be the boss, kid.

I cannot justify it.

If I ever put a SR into my car, I'd say a good estimate would be $5000 for my whole engine setup.
I would NEVER want to drive it on the street after that. I'm scared just driving a stock KA with an exhaust.
I don't know how people justify it.
Aren't you bummed out when you get busted by the police and they sent you to the state or impound your car?

It can get pricey but you can buy a longblock for 900 bucks and buy most of the rest used and have it rebuilt for about that price you posted. But most SR's only have like 50 thousand HARD miles on them anyway when they get here.

You do know that cops give tickets for lowering car's too, and I've seen video's of your drifting while watching groundhog day, you know you can get a ticket for that working with your e-brake down right?

The same way people justify lowriders and hydro's and the same way people justify loud sound systems, spinning rims, stuffed animals hanging down from the back of their cars or a deck of those fuckers in the rear window, the same way someone can put 30 stickers on a window reducing it's visibility... and no stickers are supposed to be on a front windshield 4 inches from the top... That's also illegal, I dunno why people do it but they do.

It's just a matter of who the cops want to pop. Plain and simple...

First off, you don't like people spreading false information about safety 21 cages and cusco cages being bolt in death traps, please don't spread false information about cars getting impounded for having engine swaps they're not supposed to.

A cop can only impound the car if you're under the influence and not at a legal bac to drive, if your car is not properly registered and insured, or if you have a suspended license, OR if your dash vin doesn't match the firewall vin... It's pretty common place that engines need to be replaced in cars especially 10 year old cars so most of the time the serial number on the engine doesn't even matter unless it is on record that it has been stolen. They have no proof to verify the engine in your car is legit or not, even if you have paperwork for it.

But it is still not a means for them to tow your car away.

As far as sending you to the state ref... read above, they send people to the ref because they do not know what to look for or may be unsure your motor is even legal, I know people with stock motors that have been reffed...

People want to be cool and run straight pipes on their car, that's an instant ref ticket. Throw a cat on your shit and they will give you a break for the most part.

If they police were "right or wrong" in the REASON for sending you to the ref does that change the END fact?
My point is. Has anybody been sent to the referee or impounded with a SR20? It doesn't matter if it was the proper procedure or not.

If the officer profiles you because you are black/white/orange/red/clear/etc. it doesn't really matter in the end. You're getting fucked anyways.

I said $5000 for MY engine. I wouldn't buy a bunch of used shit. I live in a higher class than that.

I'm not going to reply to the rest of the stuff because I'm talking about getting busted for an illegal engine.
I'm not talking about being lowered, having stickers, eating shit while driving, or jerking off either.

EDIT: if some of that didn't make sense, forgive me. I don't want to / know how to do all that quote stuff. I'm also hungry.

DOUBLE EDIT: It was Caddyshack.

SHEEET! im def not gonna rock an SR now lol...as much as i want to.

miracosta

why DO people hang stuffed animals on the back? ive seen these mainly on 240s

Om1kron

When are the police considered right or wrong for pulling us over Brian? I mean have you ever signed your name on a ticket and said to yourself... Damn well cant argue with that *slaps knee* I know I've done it myself a few times...

Pulled over intoxicated, driving 15 miles over the limit 5 in the morning in a highly modified vehichle hasn't been legally registered for 6 months and not insured... I rarely never took that car out and the night I did I got popped. And luckily I got away with a speeding ticket and had to walk home and lock my car up. But it was not towed or impounded.

Not bragging either but cops are not the enemy. It's the dumbshits who go street drifting, and racing and getting busted doing it fucking it up for us and making us a target. I don't even know how the San Diego guys even grow balls enough to put tint on their cars...

The cops down there HATE imports mainly due to the san diego street racing scene from 8 years ago. I bet they still race out in Sylmar every weekend, and I hear ontario still has idiots showing up even though all of the old streets have speed bumps installed on them now.

It's our fault as a community that we get targeted by the police.

Not because the cops have nothing better to do.

Then you'll need about 10'000 more so you can afford a tomei crate engine then bh, and the rest for your full race dual gated turbo set up and power fc management, and maybe another 2000 so you can chrome dip all of your parts and drive without a hood on your car.

:c ops: we're watching you.

Damn I love that movie.

Question...

I mostly skimmed through what you wrote.

What does that story have to do about SR20s?


My point is.

If an officer pulls you over.
pops your hood and finds a SR20.
Sends you to the state referee.
What does it matter if he was "right or wrong" in doing it?



If I had the option of

A. getting pulled over and popped with a KA
B. Getting pulled over and popped with a SR


I would sure as heck choose A. The one with the LEGAL engine.

I wouldn't want to put thousands of dollars into an illegal engine, then drive it around and hope that I don't get busted for it. Fuck that.


Last time I got pulled over in my 14 the officer asked me to pop my hood.

I said, sure, here you go. Stock engine except for this cone air filter.
Nothing to hide.
No shitting bricks.



EDIT: I don't like your idea of what MY sr20 would be. No thank you. It would actually be pretty basic, but a few NICE parts.

while that's true, I stick by my point.

Driving around a KA 240 as opposed to a SR 240 is a wise choice.

i like when cops pull me over, it always seems to be a witless exchange...

cop: know why I pulled you over?
me: because im drunk and high on cocain?
cop: seriously?
me: no, lol.
cop: hahaha, license and registration.
me: here ya go dude
cop: got anything in your car I don't want to find?
me: probably some used condoms I forgot to throw away... I know I don't know how I did that in here either.
cop: haha alright man have a nice day.
