Is it just me or do you guys think the 240 is getting really trendy. a year ago i was one of four 240s in my area. Now i see them everywhere. Theres no problem with this but im starting to see "Anti-Rice " style 240s.

It was bound to happen. People started to realize how much Civics suck and Integras blow.

I don't suppose SCC helped with that and their damned SR20 swap. Nor will the upcoming "Fast and Furiously Gay" part two, from what I hear. Whoever came up with that ^ is a funny SOB.

I'm trying to stave off frustration, but the caliber of "n00b" questions is severely degrading as more and more people show up. I don't know how many times I have to tell people that the car was designed with drifting in mind, not drag racing, only to get blank stares.

America is a little slow and lazy. The thought of actually turning the steering wheel hurts some peoples heads.

yeah, you gotta remeber this is in a country where a show discusses the "high technology" carbuerators(sp?) used on nascars...

you know, becuase carbs are sooo high tech and all.

ignorance brought to you by america and its futile hopes of building something other than a straight line car...(and fighting emmissions deadlines the entire way)-chet

Actually, some of the last generation of carbuerators are extremely complex. : ) Just for reference, its about as easy to improve on that as it is to build an engine management unit from the ground up. : )

Since the F&F and their dumb *** sr20 comments, everyone wants one....

There's one guy in town who said he's selling his '90 auto and buying a 5 speed so he can swap in an sr20 *rolls eyes*.

not to sound like a royal f up but some of the things in f&f were true. if you time the 1/4 mile time when the 4 cars race it takes them close to 2 min to finish wich is pretty real to me. and when they quote the car at 10 sec they also quote it at costing 80 thousand dollars. wich also makes sence. maybee hollywood learned and they could have some drifting in this movie.... you never know ...
