Wow.! Where do I sign up? It is nice to see silvias in something other than drifting for a change. That is awesome looks like loads of fun. I actually thought it was one of you in that last pic lol Like a home mad dirt/mud track. Next house I get I'm gonna make sure I have enough acres and we'll run a little league sylvia championship in my backyard

Btw can anybody tell what kind of tires are those? They look like they got awesome grip. (teh ones on the first blue silvia)

Thank you thank you thank you. Thats why i made this thread. To show all these noob 240 owners that our cars can do other things than just drifting. Although im a drifter myself , im sick of what the scene has become.

Well the driver probably modified the 240sx to drive in the snow.

When you're Canadian, if you can't drive in snow, don't bother getting your license.

yeah plus you see how high it sits, but I still find it interesting because I really wouldn't have pictured a 240sx/silvias in rally's like that in the snow due to they're Rear wheel chemistry i'd like to see one in a video. These are all great pics guys keep 'em coming.

Re Slappy: you're welcome man I knew this little car had potential but Dmn i guess I've been missing out. A car that can Drag, Drift, Autocross, Rally's and don't forget also makes a beautiful show car This platform can do anything with the right mods, hell it can even fly, just add a turbo . Well i'll be dmn we got ourselves a winner. Loving the aftermarket support remember all of you make this possible so please like slappy implies be a little more open minded and take advantage of what you got.

Bahahaha so very true. Ironically we got about 50cm of snow today

Unfortunately those are the only ones I know of. Got them from my local 240 forum.

Interestingly enough, that 240 won first in its class. Who knows what one of our cars can do with the right driver

Skinny tires in the front and studded snows in the back, works wonders for my car in the snow. It is nice to see something other than a drifting shot. I'm so sick and tired of being asked if I drift cause I own a 240,..i always say no and walk away.

he put snow tires on it. that is all thats required to make a 240 go in the snow...and really well at that. Stock ride height is about perfect for this too.When i drove mine during the salt season i never had issues with traction.

I suppose nobody here is old enough to remember when rally cars were RWD (other that Paddy Hopkirk (SP?) in his mini)

This thread is just thoroughly saturated in AWESOMESAUCE!!!

I'm a borderline drift fanboi, but I still have a great appreciation for practically all forms of motorsport. I am always delighted to see an S chassis car clinging to the pavement on a road course. But the rally pics just took me to a whole 'nother level!

Great stuff, guys. Keep this one going.
