My view on the Southeast 240 world

[Fla240sx]

I seem to be misunderstanding your logic here. You hate on people with cheap parts, but then you run them yourself??? Also, it doesn't take badass parts to drift, it requires SKILL.

So Mr. Hotshot, what kind of job fills up your baller wallet and money clip? Some people bust *** to make ends meet, whether they have a family support themselves and/or go to college so they can reach your baller status.

It's people like you that ruin car forums. I dont know about everyone else, but I come to a car forum to interact with other people that have love for cars, and appreciate the fact that we all love them, but different people have different tastes. You should grow up. You may be older than me, may not be, but mind wise, sounds like you just hit puberty.

Oh, and it's not a drift car. It's a sports coupe.

you have a good point, I like talking about stuff with other people who know stuff and are helpful... not sit aroudn and get yelled at by some kid who acts like a pissed on 14 year old freshman in high school... some people need to grow up and sadly never will... if he's like that after already being in the armed forces and going through boot camp... and still hasn't grown up... there is no hope.......

sad

we aren't the comedy club, we aren't your kids... just because nobody else will take your **** doesn't give u a right to preach it here

the first words of your post are: you all ****ing suck

then why are you here?

[tdcoy510]

when did the air force ever have a boot camp..

[yokota180sx]

then why are you here?

im not, im back in japan thank god

[Lsnaple]

I'm not trying to bust on your balls here dude. I'm trying to get car forums back to what they should be about: love of cars. Not hating on everything that doesn't fit your tastes.

As for my vast sport coupe experiance...people need to know all cars aren't intended for one thing in particular, except transportation. Note I said all aren't, but some are. I'm sure Nissan didn't intend for the s-chassis to be drivin exclusively sideways. Subaru's STi and WRX for example, are rally bred, not rally cars on the street. WRC excluded, since they HAVE to be driven between stages. The Lotus Elise, Honda S2000 CR, Corvette Z06, and the like are intended for racing. Some people sadly use them as status symbols.

Read more on NICO? If you notice, I registered four years before you. Just because I don't check NICO all the time or read every post, doesn't mean I'm ignorant to cars in general.

Again, I'm not trying to bust your balls. I'm trying to bring back the common interest that we all came here in the first place: the love of our cars.

im hating on people that run cheap parts where it mattersA crack in your ex mani wont kill you, a broken strut willyou need to read all my posts before you pass judgment on me, all the knockoff parts i use, wont harm me or my car if they fail. just remember thatf your gonna use an EBay Intercooler, ****ing go for it, ive done it. **** works, but if it DOESNT work, it wont kill your car.

if the intercooler doesnt work it wont kill your car? wow that has to be the dumbest thing i ever heard in my life. hmmm youve got time to use the computer to talk on nico so why dont you use it to research the purpose of having an intercooler. i'll even give you a little hint here and that's heat is the biggest enemy of turbocharged engines.

it wontif something happens to your turbo/intertcooler/whateveryou can still Limp homeas long as you stay out of boost, you can get home, OR you can be ingenious nad keep a PVC pipe the length of your intercooler so you can remove iti took one with me to the track every time incase i smalled my intercooler into something

you must not know too much....

but seethis thread was about the drifing where im from

so your post makes no vaild poitns for this thread

thanks

im not, im back in japan thank god

no you got me wrong, I don't care where you live

I just care that your here on Nico hating on everything

go take your negative attitude elsewhere

No. Grant is actually right on this one. Heat is the biggest killer of turbocharged motors but that is internal heat from running lean, rich, or oil circulation failure. You can actually have a non functioning intercooler or even run without one.

and woot for the just realizing i broke 2k postsin under a year

[GoinTopless240]

You kids kill me.... I get such a kick out of all the kids that think that because they live in japan that they know what drifting is... hate to tell you this, but drifting has been around alot longer than the fad. Back when I was 22 (almost half my life ago) it was termed powersliding - using the power of the car to make a controlled slide. It has been used in almost every racing school that I've ever attended. Now the Japanese have figured out how to take something that is not considered good form and made it popular. Hell in highschool I used to drift a 72' blazer with G78's (know what size that is..lol) granted it was in about a foot of snow, but I digress. Drifting is a learned skill and you have to start somewhere. What these guys are learning is what works and what doesn't. I would have to say that many of those guys have improved with time, and yes having a better set up car helps a great deal, but I've always been under the old addage... Race what ya brung... In your case you didn't even do that, but someone let you race.. that is how some guys start.

Now as for you... personally I can tell you have never managed a group of guys before. If you did, I'd be suprised they don't piss in your coffee when you look the other way. One thing you learn when trying to help people is to offer praise and constructive criticism together. Negative comments breed negativity. Saying a region s*cks at drifting because you went to Myrtle Beach on a random weekend is just narrowminded. I'm sure the gang at Battle Underground or most any large city drift scene in the SE would be a bit offended by your comments..

Let me know if you ever get married and have a couple of kids to feed, house payment, and a bunch of real bills and then you have room to talk. Easy to buy disposable parts when it's my tax dollars giving you a job, 3 squares, clothes on your back, and a roof over your head. Keep your bashing in Japan with you...I realize that you are enlisted in the armed services and for that I thank you. You fight for your right to post what you feel, but you also entitle us to reply.... if you feel you must "Tread... tread lightly", but don't tread on me or my region just so you can make 2000 posts. 2000 posts of crap are still just that.... crap. Offer some substance and keep the rest for your Japanese friends.

Have a great life.

so your saying that if the intercooler is not working properly and the intake temps stay high instead of being cooled by the intercooler then its not going to lead to pre-ignition??? and pre-ignition cant lead to knocking/pinging???

ok whatever. where do you get your car info? from the guy on the corner that thumbs through the latest issue of whatever ricer mag is hot at the time. ohh wait i forget your 19 and grant is 22 and you know it all. im so sorry i guess everybody else in the automotive world is wrong and you two are the only ones that are right. if i have any car questions i will make sure to ask the two car gods first(aka the two dumb asses that dont care if they f**k up their cars).

[yokota180sx]

Im not saying to drive the **** out of your car with a busted intercoolergod your an idioti was saying if the **** breaks you can still get homeif your brakes go out, or your coilovers break, you cant

get the **** right smartass before you start preaching about ricer mags that i dont even buy

If I said that you would have been able to quote me as saying such. Instead you are twisting my words like an immature idiot. My point was that any IC will suffice to a certain extend since you can run without one. You need to deal with motors a lot more if you think buying a cheap intercooler makes such a huge difference in a street application. Irregardless your maturity shines through. I'm guessing you are around 18.

Edit: You are 25? Wow. Just..... Wow.

[gnvarnadore]

wow "irregardless" whoa am i in high school again? next thing i know your going to be saying conversate instead of converse. regardless of your incorrect grammer you should not make it sound like its ok to run a car with a messed up intercooler. yeah older cars did run turbos without intercoolers but then you also have to look at the level of engineering back then as compared to now. you think car manufactures just started slapping intercoolers on for no reason? dude honestly research pre-ignition and maybe you will see the need of lowering the charged air temp. heres a little pointer for you ive been eating nissan and datsun from the time i was a kid and your just now getting your toes wet. So i think you need to work with motors more because when im not working my normal job im at a shop working on cars. now i know your going ot ask me why i dont work at the shop all the time and the answer is very simple because i need a steady paycheck and working on cars isnt a steady paycheck.

yall should watch your wording more carefully if you think people are twisting your words. im just affraid some young kid is going to read yalls posts and not understand and ruin their car.

[redtop91]

I find it amusing you are talking about grammar and using "Y'all" in your posts. You are wrong but judging by your marked maturity, arguing further won't get anyone anywhere.

incorrect grammer

Based off of your argument this guy must "preignite" all damn day. Stop pretending like you know what you are talking about. Dear God. Tell me what the name of the shop you work in is so I know never to go there.

Dude... I think they're saying if your intercooler ****s up on your way home then you can still limp it home. They're not saying go daily drive without an intercooler. If you werent reading their posts TRYING to find something to get pissed off about then you would have realized that.

Only 24/7 drag cars don't need intercoolers

[GoinTopless240]

I'm pretty sure that guy's point is to pre-ignite.... that way he can run an extreme advance with his ignition.... the upside - lotsa power... the downside - the engine needs to be rebuilt after a few (if lucky) runs... Yes you could limp home .. if home is close by and you can idle all the way home... the engine would not know the intercooler is shot and would keep the ignition at the same point... everytime you increased rpm would create boost pressure - thus creating heat. If you could drive home without going past say 1500 - 2000 rpm you might make it, but not very far... Me personally ... If I trashed my intercooler I would disconnect my wastegate (or shut it down if electronic), pull my air intake tube and connect it to the intake from the intercooler piping ... and then cripple home. You would basically just be running N/A engine... granted this would be in an extreme situation and had no choice....but the ECU and MAF should be able to figure things out well enough... us old farts that figured something easier... pay $50-$100 a year for AAA and have a cell phone... much easier on all accounts....

Now you kids play nice or i'll take the belt out..

[Florida240sx]

Wow just wow. If you bust an IC pipe or the IC itself you can drive without out, don't boost. I've used ductape around tore couplers. Can even use it as a coupler. If your not boosting then not much heat and no pressure to kill the tape... I've done this. I have an ebay fmic no problems at 22psi, and I have another one that is a greddy.Lets start a new thread and let this die

[gnvarnadore]

yeah you can limp home if you stay out of boost but the way it was worded in the post they made it sound like like its not a big deal, when is its a big deal if you hit boost. i was never arguing the point that you cant limp home i was just pointing out to them that its not good to say that you dont need an intercooler because some young kid is going to get on here and read that and think they can slap a turbo on their car and boost the hell out of it without an intercooler and then when they mess up their motor they are going to be pissed because they heard it was ok on nico. i wasnt looking for stuff to get pissed off at because i know grant does have some valid things to share and there are alot of things i agree with him on. i just wish he would be more clear with whats hes saying because like i said already somebody with no knowledge of turbo engines might do some stupid crap and mess up their engine.

by the way yall is in the dictionary and irredgardless isnt

Im not here, and most of us arent to babysit peopleif they want to do it for real, they will do reserch, just like the rest of us

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

you ****ing suckdamn near all of you

Have you been to any events in Florida? J/W

[yokota180sx]

nah, it was really only directed to the SC NC peoplefla is alright, GA isnt far behind

but SC and NC are like years behind the world

[gnvarnadore]

well grant you hit the nail on the head by saying sc is years behind the rest of the world. i have great example to back that statement up too, i remember finding out about drifting back in like 97 or 98 and i wanted to do it back then and now about ten years later alot of people here still dont know what it is besides seeing it in Tokoyo Drift.

[yokota180sx]

yepbut alasi will still call myrtle beach home.

[240Knightrider]

Wow... very interesting how SC is years behind. You have no clue. Just because you live in MB you thing your hot **** or something. Well your not. Until you have seen every scene and know the true heart of racers can you talk. And you obviously have not seen that. You may race and may be good at it. But you dont have the heart. If you did, your profound post would never have crossed your mind.

Seriously your OVERLOAD of post about people using cheap parts all over the forum makes you look bad. At least there trying with the budget they have. Instead of saying oh I dont have the money to get the *OMG AWESOME EXPENSIVE IMA BALLA* stuff. They do what they can. Get over yourself, simple as that.

And yes there are some (drum roll)....skinny, backwards hat wearing, dog chain wallet, 2 ft wide pants leg, Limp Bizkit looking white boy f*** with badly applied peroxide hair color treatment ricers driving around. I cant stand those fools... make us all look bad, and get us kicked out of meet areas
