I spotted a red S13 coupe in PTC, GA today. Looked like stock ride height, stock exhaust, "NICO" sticker on the passenger rear quarter window, "Drift Factory" sticker in the bottom center of the rear window, red tape over part of the passenger tail light. Driver looked to be maybe 17-19, white guy. Is that anyone here?

The reason I ask, is because you VERY narrowly missed the back bumper of my girlfriend's Jetta doing an obnoxious last-minute 2 lane change in the middle of PTC traffic. If you're going to stick NICO stickers on your car, please drive with a little more respect for other people, don't give us all a bad name. Nico is becoming more high-profile lately, with the exposure at NOPI, and on TV. I'm simply saying, be concious of what you're doing; you're representing all of us. That is all.

haha! nice try on the sticker.

im hoping to get down that way sometime in the middle of August. myself and my girlfriend are vacationing somewhere where there's actually a beach (not just a bunch of mud). i can post up a more accurate date as it gets closer.

meanwhile, back on topic....

Yep, I remember you. Flat black S13 coupe. That meet was a while ago....I don't remember him. I'm sure it's some little high school age kid that drives like a jackass on the street, thinking he's "dori-dori jdm-tyte" or some stupid ****. Either he hasn't seen this thread, or doesn't want to fess up...though the other guy that was there (white s13 hatch) knows who he is, and supposedly told him about it. All I'm looking for is a "yeah, it was me, sorry, I'll be more careful" post...that's it. Kids these days...

hey xyster, another way we can represent NICO better would be to drive NIssans!! I'm only kidding. Sorry to interrupt you guys. I live in North GA and almost nobody drives 240s up here. Welcome to the land of Camaros and hondas.

...kinda lonely up here.

Where's Hoschton? I see you mention Gainesville in your sig, up around there somewhere? I've spent a little time in Rabun Gap...beautiful country. I bet you've got some awesome mountain roads.

pfff, I've owned my share of nissans, I just don't happen to own one right now. Besides, it's better to not represent NICO at all than to represent it as a jackass. But, I'm not concerned about it...happened a long time ago. I was only annoyed to begin with because he very nearly nailed my girl's Jetta. The NICO sticker just gave me a way to find and hopefully embarass him.

I grew up in Gainesville, I only recently moved to Hoschton which is right off 85 exit 129. Right next door to Road Atlanta in Braselton if you're familiar with that. I'm still in Gainesville a lot, though. Where I live is not really close to Rabun Gap. I may be closer to the mountains than you but I still have to drive a ways to get there. I only recently went from driving SUVs back to the wonderful world of cars that handle so I haven't got to explore all that yet. I hope to soon though.

Oh and the guy who almost hit you, just let it go. He'll figure things out one way or another.

Ahh, ok, yeah, I know where Braselton is. I know it's not near to Rabun Gap, but Gainesville is, that's why I mentioned it. Nice area either way.

The driver of that red 240 goes to McIntosh High school iirc. He knows or is friends with a member of this board named 240_kid(sp?)

I see that car all the time. If you guys organize a local meet, count me in. I don't have my white coupe anymore, but I am making progress on the rb going in the 95.

By the way, if any locals need any parts I really want to empty my garage out. I've got 2 de heads, 1 manifold, 1 block, 1 complete e motor with transmission, p/s pumps, starters, wiring, etc. very, very, very cheap.

my name is changed from 240kid, but i do know him. i asked him about it, but its not up to me to say anything, or i would have appologized.

you should come to the varsity meets sometimes (first thursday of every month). we have not had any local meets for a while though...

Long time ago...not something to hold a grudge over, and I'm not.

Good luck. I just had a parts GIVEAWAY in Newnan, and I could only get rid of a transmission, diff, oil pan, exhaust manifold, and a couple brake calipers/pads. That left subframe, ps pump, a/c compressor, radiator, alternator, starter, full set of s13 seats, ka harness, intake man, etc etc. I ended up taking a full f-150 truckload to the landfill.
