[Thrwnsprkz]

at the first drift practice of the year, spotted this "Silvia" roll up to watch.met the guy, not sure if hes a member here or not...

Georgous car... clean as ever, and my fav color S13 to bootonly 60k miles! SOHC KA, shes still running strong why bother to swap?...the definition of the S13 I dream about



I got a huge kick outta' it, I'd buy that car in a heart beat... (wanna sell?)biggest kick was that it was local... I hardily ever see 240's around my town

[Zetec]

I find it kinda funny how that car would be considered a ****box in japan yet people get excited about it over here and dream about having one.

[Thrwnsprkz]

you always want what you cant have...

[Onizuka]

Ultra clean s13 coupe with 5 speed, HUD and a very nicely done silvia conversion? Yes please!

[rico05]

Right. Sh|tbox. So THAT is why they are so popular over there....

Very nice. I don't think I can show my roommate that one. He would pop an artery from excitement. His fav. paint scheme on his fav car.

I gotta get him a S13 or somethin.....Kid is all over mine too much

[Dirtylou]

That's a great looking s13. I love two tone Silvias. However, I think the sticker looks wierd over a OEM muffler.

That's gorgeous, I love that seafoam color/with the grey. Speaking of bumping into other 240's, last night on my way home from work i made a shortcut thru a wawa parking lot to get to a road on the other side, and there was a black s13 91-front coupe waiting to make a turn, i drove by him as i entered the lot. The dude, backed up, turned around and followed me down a long road, he was kinda following close so i dropped down to third gear and went ahead head of him for a bit then slowed down. Dude just made a left into a shopping center and did a friendly tap of the horn. Hehe. I thought i was going to have a stalker on my hands. I wonder if it was a PA car since i live so close to the state's border.

lol... i remember the first time i saw another 240 here in pittsburgh, we were sitting at a light and he drove by so we caught up as fast as we could then he turned into the mall lot right by my buddies house, so we followed... it was like a 40 yr old guy w/ his daughter but the car had a big catback exaust.... i dunno

[HashiriyaS14]

Hell, I'm near Pittsburgh. I went to college there (I'm in DC now).

Is he selling it?

[amolao]

Thats a sweet looking coupe, a classic and very rare. If it was mine I would just park it and buy another one to drive around....

[Thrwnsprkz]

Hell, I'm near Pittsburgh. I went to college there (I'm in DC now).

Is he selling it?

if only... i wish, i whoulda offered him $ on the spot, lolbut thats cool, my cars from DC i bought it there over a year ago

[mmatl16]

i bought another 240 recently....90 hatch with only 83,xxx miles on it. i thought it was a pretty good find

[NSR240sxe]

That's a very clean s13. I like the color too. Damn Jon, you should have offered him money for it lol. That's cool you spotted it though. How did the rest of the car look? Under the hood? Interior?

[j-z]

theres a coupe with the same paint scheme for sale a few blocks down from my house. its says 1700 on the windshield. if i had some extra cash i would probably buy it.

[Dattebayo]

Its the freaking Initial D paint scheme for the CA powered Silvia!

I never thought I would ever see someone do that!

[Battousai4884]

Love that car, my first 240sx was that 2 tone color.. but pignose front end usdm tyte ;-)

[Thrwnsprkz]

I asked if he was going to sell it, he just had the front conv done and had the front blended to to match the rest of the car... it was spotless from what I could see the engine bay (tho SOHC) was gorgeous, no dirt anywere... I couldnt believe he was driving it, he wants to throw an SR in it (obviously) but I'd just grab it as a perfectly good daily or something.

and as for inital D, I dont care what car is in the show... I just love that kiwi green two tone...

also... wheres this $1700 coupe for sale? I may just have to skip my plans for coilovers and knab another chassy to tinker with... any details!?

[Battousai4884]

You mean Iketani's car in initial-d? I love that car :-D

[The 240 kid]

The crooked I <3 Droifting bumper sticker makes the car that much better.

[Battousai4884]

IF that were me.. I would add the stock coupe wing... and the jdm trunk lock ;-)

[Red coupe]

Why is it that kiwi green is the best looking stock color on a coupe ever? If some one asked me with out having seen it first it would be the last color i would pic but the car makes it look sooo good...

[Dattebayo]

<3 the S14 silver moss color better than kiwi, too bad it wasnt offered

[HashiriyaS14]

That's right, silver moss ownz j00.

(When it's not covered in bird shxt....)
