THANK YOU Boro240!!! Thsoe cars are both track cars (from GT Spec R's post). The Uras one is a grip car and Taniguchi's old yellow S15 was his D1GP car until he crashed it and repainted it red (or got a red one, i can't remember what he did). Point being: Only S-chassis in america are even considered for "Show only". Just about every "JDM" car you see is a track car they brought to an auto show, not the other way around. It is funny how all these peopl have jDm tYtE sHoW CaRz, yO! but in reality, those "JDM" cars are purposeful. So in trying to emulate someone else's idea, you miss the mark horribly by making a pure show 240... :rolleyes: Whateva.:(

....Hey thanks for the pics GT SpecR...and I am sorry if I hurt everyone else's feelings. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, or that I was asking that much. Please forgive me for asking the question...I didn't know I was breaking the rules. And no I don't have the car yet. But honestly...I am not going to have that hard of a time finding the car I want...I am going to have a harder time finding the look I want. I don't want to b an impluse buyer and buy an s14 and then want a hatch...I guess you could say I am, planning it out. And I am pretty sure that not all 240's are driven hard. I have been to a couple of shows before where I have seen some nice rides...and the owners garage pretty much year round. So again please forgive me for asking to see peoples favorite show cars...I didn't think I was going to get flame...and I will probably get flamed for this reply. But if I got one generous person to answer my post, I think I succeeded. (once again thanks SpecR for the pics, I like the dual exhaust by the way:D )

Sorry if this post made anyone lose any sleep last night....

Show cars are for Pu$$ieS, and no Silvia should be put to a life of shame as a show car, they need to be freed on tracks, mountians, japanese enginerred road, and so on. so if you want a show car, civic, cavalier, or neon will suit your needs just fine, no offense just...FREE THE SILVIAS!!!

AGREED. dont be a goddamn pussy. put that puppy on the track and let it do its majiik yo. dont be a poser!

s15 front end? go buy a civic and do that crap. all show no go, damn you suck!

Ok...first off I hate to break it to you but "free the silvias?" You sound like you are trying to protect the pandas or something. And I dont know about you, but I dont have access to any mountains nor do I have access to Japan...I live in Iowa.

Blitz...I have a buddy with a Neon ACR that just went to Nationals last year for AutoXing...he has beaten his share of 240's...yet there are a couple 240's out there he can't beat....so if you are down in KC sometime and you see any red neons down there....I wouldnt take a chance against him....you are better off watching....

And Dousan36 if I did have access to a track...I would put my "puppy" on that track and let it do its "majik" because I don't feel like replacing parts if I were to do something wrong "yo." You kinda sound like a honda boy yourself dont ya "poser."

All I ask were people to post there favorite 240 show pics. I know you all dont go to SEMA or whatever and dawg on the owners of the cars and tell them "save the silvias"...I know some of you have found 240's at shows that you drool over....and if you have pics, and if you have the time, I just would like to see some pics....thanks in advance

ah wise guy eh!
hah
u doodoo head. i am at the track nearly 2+ times a month. NOTHING has ever gone wrong and i drift (that's including at least 8 different events in the past 4 months). maybe cuz i know how to drive and im not hitting stuff. duh.

as far as the honda boy, i was doing that so you would understand, tryng to speak your langauge. thought it might help.
glad u understood it

hahhahaha

show car hahaha

now, i would have a slight of respect for you if you showed AND tracked your car like Jspec, JDMRice and a few others do. show car..how sad. what a waste.

eidt: btw, i got a sh*tload of siiiiick s13s, s14s, and s15s, but i can allow them to fall into the hands of evil! i got at least 300 differnt ones. all on imagestation. oooh sucks to be you dont it?

LOL.. seriously popeye.. don't take offense to this stuff. Most of the guys on these boards (myself included) love our 240's for 1 reason. It's ability to go really fast around corners one way or another. Most of the sweet a$$ pictures of beautiful show cars we like to oogle over are the beautiful, and often interesting designs on japanese drift cars. They really do some crazy stuff. Then they go on the track with that Badmutha, and rip her a new A$$hole.. they beat the crap out of them, using them for what they are. We sort of view our cars the way porsche owners do. We just don't cringe as much when we hit something. :D

I can understand where you comming from. having a sweet looking car is cool to an extent, but the crazy stuff most people do to cars is a phase that they will grow out of. Wild body kits/modifications, paint, graphics, wings, neons, etc.. All things that get old after a while. Now, continually increasing entry speed into your favorite turn NEVER gets old..

Going back to the porche analogy.. you don't see porches with big aluminum wings, and shogun bodykits, and crazy headlight conversions do you? I think as long as your showcar is kept Clean, and smooth, it will be a timeless hobby. but once you get into crazy mods, etc.. it becomes a fad and a waste of money.

sorry for the quasi rant. just want you to understand where these guys are comming from.

christopher

02-28-2003, 08:22 AM

This should help you find a body kit you like.

Pleny of pics too. You don't have to drive fast to look fast nor do you have to be a racer to enjoy your car. Don't listen to anyone when they tell you about your goals. Ready.

Sykikchimp...Thanks for ur input. I understand fully. I have an FD that I run hard and it gets expensive. And I respect everyone here, well some people need to grow up, but I respect the passion that most of u have for your cars. I am just wanting to take a different road. Sure I would love to throw in an SR down the road but I would like to make it all show for now. You don't see alot of silvias in the heartland:D But thanks for understanding...I wouldnt put any shopping cart spoiler on, I like the look of them with out spoilers....I am mainly interested in a widebody...the only crazy thing I would do probably is get some crazy wide tired in the rear with the wide-kit....I'm not going to pull a F&F and throw lights on all underneath and huge graphics on the side, Thats not my taste, trust me I have an FD and all I have done to the body is get rims, they are sooo expensice to keep up, I just spent $$ replacing seals, thats not even the body...but thanks again

Christopher...thanks man, thanks for taking the time to link me, thats what I wanted, thanks again.

Dousan36....I shouldnt even waste my time but oh well...."heRz I wizzle spit likes this so dat yo badonk-adunk shall understand my speech....you gots to grizzle yo shizzle and dont front when u's gots no fro in yo pantizzles...yous gots to get yur ass a life...closing time be-otch....Shut yo mouth and brush yo teeth" Did you get all that Dousan?

Play nice, some of these people hold some weight around here. There is a lot of info for you if you just ask nicely. In the future I would advise that you search (little button on top of the page) to avoid the flames you are getting. Dousan is just heated because we all see this type of post all the time, hence my list is created as an easy answer all. If people just searched they would find all the answers they needed.

I got every single one of those links from this forum, searching.

Play nice-don't burn your bridges before you cross em, Welcome to Zilvia by the way.:)

I grabbed my friend's Icy Hott Diz-ictionary from his civic and translate it as this:

heRz I wizzle spit likes this so dat yo badonk-adunk shall understand my speech....
I will from this point on speak in this manner so that you should be able to understand me.

you gots to grizzle yo shizzle and dont front when u's gots no fro in yo pantizzles...
You'd do well to pause and reflect upon the asinine nature of your statements, seeing how you are not mature enough to have pubic hair.

yous gots to get yur ass a life...
It would be in your best interest to acquire a life.

closing time be-otch....Shut yo mouth and brush yo teeth
I have put the proverbial "smackdown" upon you. Brush your teeth, as your mouth is not good for much else.

HAHAHHA! that was actually pretty fun to translate :P hehee

I think he's trying to say that he's got more balls than you do, and he wants you to back off. But seriously, that snoop dawg shiz is just...... Guess you have to be relatively high to understand. Anyways, I don't understand ppl who are into all show no go... Cars are made to be driven, if one build a car for show and babies it.... Then why not use all those money to get a high end Euro piece? I bet the general public would give more prop to new G35's than a bling'ed out 240 that anyone hardly recognizes... After all, most peeps don't realize the existence of 240's anymore till recently. Even that, only the car enthuiast bunch would have respect for them, and I think we can all say that only consitiute for a very small amount of the population...

this thread rocks, i haven't laughed this hard for a long time...

love that panda picture :p

thats one thing that amazes me about the Japanese car culture, they have no problems beating the **** out of a car that looks perfect and expensive.

my two cents:
"show" cars look nice standing still on a carpet, same "show" car looks nicer in motion. My favorite pictures of 240sx are "action shots". And not even that, I really don't collect pictures, cause photographs doesn't even come close to capturing the beauty of a car. I collect video clips (especially love clips of cars put to music). IMO drift is the coolest form of show because it is beauty in motion, and as mentioned previously in the thread, each one of the heavily drifted Japanese track cars look nice enough to be carpet queens in the US.

here is one of my favorite shots of a zenki s14, its a Greddy kit

If anyone was still having trouble comprehending the attraction to a more show than go car, imagine this...your in college and dont have money to throw at your car if anything breaks. No matter what you do performance-wise, your going to jepordize the realiability of the car, even if its just slightly. Leaving it stock keeps it realiable for when you need it. Going the show route keeps your car reliable and sets it apart from all the other cars. And if you think hes gonna slap on some LED washer nozzles and tire flies; ive seen this guys past cars and hes got a little more taste than that. I just wanted to back my pal up here cause hes been trying to pick a car for a while now and hes picky enough you all should be honored hes decided on a 240 :p

BTW im the guy with the ACR and if anyone wants to come out and play im always at the track(the twistie track that is)

Or you could just keep all that money, just incase it does break. What happenes when you get into an accident and you spent thousands of dollars on body kits paint and 20 inch rims. You have just lost a big investment.

Honestly if money is the problem your best bet is to buy any car and keep it stock, maybe some minor mods like shocks and springs.

All-show is pretty stupid to me, you pay big money to make your car look like its not supposed to. By the time you are done the car won't move without something falling apart.

To most people on this board a nice track car would be show enough. Some of us do go all show, then later on down the line do some go mods.

I think it is also the fact that you came on here and are asking for pictures you could have found by searching in our forum, or in googles image search.

Also there is this wild idea I was thinking about, on the main page there is this funky thing called a gallery, where us (the users of Zilvia) post pictures of cars (S13, S14, S15, and others), IIRC you were asking for pictures that WE have right, well a lot of them are sitting right there, in the gallery, a little bit of thinking will get you very far.

I am assuming none fo this thread will change your mind (although I have a feeling by the time you get your car you will have entirely different plans), so if I were you I would use some search tools, and use the gallery.

I don't know about you bro, but I have this little thing called insurance that covers all the crazy sh*t I do to my car. Although I'm with you on the point that I wouldn't make my car all show either. But I also think that if someone wants to go that route, they shouldn't get flamed for it. In conclusion, just do whatever the hell you want cuz that slip has your name on it which means you call the shots.

I think pops is the first newb to ever fight back logically. Props Newb. Anywho. my favorite 240 has to be this one :

Cant remember whos is it but I like alot. I dont think its a show car though. For show cars the s15s are always my favorites.

Air intakes don't do nothing bad to your car. A decent "all show" job costs like what... $3000-$4000? That's enough to run an sr or ka at about 220rwhp VERY safely. And honestly i get much more of a kick outa stock looking fast car, than obscene car that is slow... :-/ .... dunnow bout others, but i'm starting to realize that i like stock bumper with lip spoiler + stock sideskirts + rear mudguards way better than any aftermarket body kit :rolleyes:

Thankyou for your advice...BUT lets say I was to go all show and I cracked a bumper...hell lets say I ripped my front bumper off...ya know what, I could still drive the car if I needed to. Say I go all motor, and something went wrong, well I am better off not driving it and taking the risk of tearing up the engine even more...SO I disagree with you, because in the end, the all show can still drive to the grocery store...and by the way I did use the search, if you are able to pull up the searches last night from around midnight, all the "s15" "s14" "s13" "wide" "widebody" "fender" "s13 s15" "s13 cherry face" searches are all mine...so yes I did search, and yes I did look in that place I guess I "did a little thinking" so I would appreciate it if you didn't make assumptions please...just because I am a Newb to Zilvia....doesnt mean I dont know my way around....I have had 3 other cars being part of 3 others forums...Sorry for wasting anyones time, take care all.

Ok I just thought of more....Ya know we all have to be more open to people ideas and help eachother out more. If you treat this forum just for a place where we talk about going around corners fast or drifting whatever you wanna say, all the topics are going to be repeatative and everyone is going to be flaming people, most likely newb's. I just came from and RX7 forum, where the hot topic now are thrwoing ls1's into the 7's are gettin popular, and people there accept it, because its new and your learning something new. Which makes it fun. I am also part of an MR2 forum where the hot topic now is throwing the v6....I am sorry if I brought something up like going "all show" and for you guys who dont like it, well this place is going to get REAL old quicker and quicker....so all I am saying is....be more open, some of us want to do other things that many others may not like, so like the old saying goes....if you dont have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all.

I am also part of an MR2 forum where the hot topic now is throwing the v6....I am sorry if I brought something up like going "all show" and for you guys who dont like it, well this place is going to get REAL old quicker and quicker....so all I am saying is....be more open, some of us want to do other things that many others may not like, so like the old saying goes....if you dont have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all.

Ummm i'd rather flame noobs like you that want an all show car, then talk nicely with them about altezza lights.

Cmon, dude, stock bumper is also cheaper to replace than bomex. And those 18's are also a pretty penny when u hit a curb. and do u know how expenisive are low profiles tires? And how fast they burn? If you arent going to do anything worth while, then don't do anything. Tell me, what does a body kit give you except me muttering "ricer" when i see your car?

and how come an sr isn't a safe motor when it came factory like that? Keep it at stock boost and i don't think u'll see any more problems than you will with an na ka. But at least then you'll have something to back your gay body kit with.

I am basically done flaming you about the whole all show thing, it's your choice not mine, but back to the looking for pics thing.

Yes you did do a little thinking, but did you think a little harder and realize where those pics were coming from, you aren't getting the point that those pics are our pics, we don't have that many more pics.

And you still can search on some car sites, since you have been in the car scene for a while it seems, I am sure you know about all those online car site directories where they let anyone post up theier cars. You could go to speedoptions, and look through there, or go through onlineshowoff.com, or go to importtuner.com and see a bunch of different cars featured in mags, there have been quite a few recently, there was also a couple in SCC, and some Turbo magazine. There are so many places, and if you tell me you know about all them, what else do you want from us, we don't have some underground hookup on pics or anything, we just search random sites and find car pics.

Either way I don't know how far you are gonna get in the show business in a 240 without swapping out the KA, you know the craze right now SR20s. You can't have the insurance company pay for that one.

I want to design those cutting edge cars we see now...I like to go fast, anyone can go fast and there is always going to be someone faster than you. I just like going to the mall or somewhere and walking out to my car and seeing people slow down and look as they pass my car....thats the satisfaction I get out of it, sure I would love to have a crazy drag car, or be a mad drifter, but its not me...so I guess this was my fault for not posting this, but ya, I like the looks in cars....its what I am going to be doing the rest of my life...I live for it...and I just love to look at pics that other people have, it just bothered me when people started calling me "honda boy" or something stupid, because I like to see what other people like when it comes to the overall exterior, once again I am sorry for not saying anything like this earlier.

You didn't have to say all that, most of us when we hear all show think automatically bodykits with more lines than a stephen king book, headlight and taillight conversions, slammed cars, strobe lights, indiglo everything, underglow lights, more ICE than a drink from a resteraunt, all a bunch of non funcitional stuff.

I don't know if thats what you are going to be doing, but a lot of us are for functionality, but we all have a little urge in us to get some show in there, but we usually also plan for other things before or after the show part is done.

Plus we are protective of these cars becuase most of us own them, and most of us got into them becuase we heard about the great potential they have. 240s are also a bit on the expensive side when it comes to show parts, as you probably already know wide body kits for S13s and S14s are hard to come by.

People won't help you do something they don't want to happen,. And we don't want to see another 240 go to waste.

But we can't stop you only pursuade you.

Anyway good luck with whatever you decide on, but do us one favor, don't do any headlight conversions from another car company

that is too hot minus the massive wing.

Popeye,
I have been keeping a eye on this thread because it was funny but now I think some of the members here are taking the "preservation of 240s" too far. If the man wants to put a shopping cart on the trunk lid and throw some mAd tYtE yO! dubs on the beeotch let 'em. I have my 240 exactly the way I want it right now and I would be pis$ed if someone told me that "my" idea of what "my" car should look like! [Then again I never asked opinions] Also if you really want to see what flaming is go to Fresh Alloy.com and let them show you when you ask the same question

I have a body kit on my car thats fully molded in, I still plan to race my car. Infact when I first got my 240 I had to split my attention between the two sides of the knife, now that the body work is done on my car to my satisfaction, Im concentrating solely on the performance asspects. I went to a auto show a couple weeks ago, and there were tons and tons of hondas and integras there, the 240 became the show stopper (not like it didnt dserve it) because it was different from the other cars. I think 240s with kits are awesome. I also feel that the car has a serious need for speed too, and every show car Ive ever seen, has also has performance mods. I figure the two go hand in hand. If he doesnt want to race it though, thats his choice. Weve got enough 240s representing at the track to be "playa hating" our own kind. I show circuit car sounds cool to me, hell I plan to show mine too. I think the 240/ silvia/ whatever you want to call um, are awesome cars no matter what you choose to do to it. And that yellow 180 looks sick.

All-show is pretty stupid to me, you pay big money to make your car look like its not supposed to. By the time you are done the car won't move without something falling apart.

--Who are you to say what a car is or isnt supposed to look like? Its not like hes gonna make his car look fast and then go try to race evreything that moves, he just wants a nice car that stands out a bit.

To most people on this board a nice track car would be show enough. Some of us do go all show, then later on down the line do some go mods.

--A great response to the original post could have been pointing him in the direction of a more show oriented board then...but i bet he liked you biting his head off just the same.

I think it is also the fact that you came on here and are asking for pictures you could have found by searching in our forum, or in googles image search.

Also there is this wild idea I was thinking about, on the main page there is this funky thing called a gallery, where us (the users of Zilvia) post pictures of cars (S13, S14, S15, and others), IIRC you were asking for pictures that WE have right, well a lot of them are sitting right there, in the gallery, a little bit of thinking will get you very far.

--The more you respond to this post and the more you complain, the longer these posts are gonna stick around, if you have such a problem with repetetive questions then ignore them.

I can completely relate to this feeling; i think that i did my neon tasefully with a good blend of show and go and when i see all the crap they make for neons now it just makes me shudder. Us neon guys cant be protective anymore because theres a million neons out there and show parts are not very expensive for them. I think you guys have it good, and when a guy comes in that is asking for your advice on some cars that YoU think looks good i would jump at the oppurtunity to influence his decision on how he does it.

Thanks for the explanatory post, its definately more effective in getting your point across than just yelling at the guy.

Oh please. With the stock intake the car will pass say 250,000 miles before it breaks... with an aftermarket 249,000..... i think the intake would be worth it.

I had no idea about any part of the engine a year ago, when i got my 240 in february.... right now i'm in the finishing stages of putting a turbo kit togther. And yes, i'm a working college student. It just depends on how you want it. If you want a slow car for yourseld, but flashy for the others, or if you want a fast car that brings pleasure to you and only you.... Personally i'd take #2 any day of the week.

DarkRaptor, didn't been that negative on the bodykits. Just wanted to emphasize my point. Some bodykits are nice, just have something to back that up :) I mean if you are getting all the pleasure you want from your car being fast and still money to spend, go for the flashinnes :)

Ok whatever. I guess you just don't want to realize how gay is what u just said. But whatever. BTW, turbo can be installed in 2-3 days if you are in a rush if you get someone to help you.

When did this turn into what i want? I know how to work on my cars, and so does Popeye, but its a bit harder for him because hes in Iowa and my garage, where we do all the work, is here in Kansas. Sure a turbo can be installed in 2-3 days, with my help he could have it done in 1, but with the introduction of an entirely new induction system, new fuel setup, and possibly new timing; the cars not just going to start up and drive off. Youll need a few hours of dyno time and a good tuner helping you to get it to run reliably, even then its not set in stone that the car will run flawlessly from then on.

Sorry to everyone else thats actually looking at this post for the show cars, this will be my last reply explaining the situation to Kreator.

nice (a normal thing): You bought a car. 2 months later you realized that you don't like that your rear bumper hangs higher than you stock factory sideskirts. You bought a rear apron, painted it and put it on to even out. Got happy and kept on driving the car.

rice (a gay thing): You read super street. In one of their magazines you see an s14 with an s15 conversion with a wing, body kit and 20" rims. The magazine tells you how much of a shiznit that car is. You start looking for an s14 to buy so you could do all the same stuff to it just cuz everyone thinks it's l33t.

Blah 2 noobs trying to prove that rice ain't lame. I've seen that b4 :rolleyes: whatever. that was my last post here.
