Post by **float_6969** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

Thats awesome. I can see the next F&F. They won't be racing for money, girls, or slips. Nope the future of street racing is for the hookup at MikyD's. LOL!!!

what kind of eclipse? if its anything other than the Gs-t or GSX im not surprised you beat it! theyre slow!

Mcdonalds is nasty anyway. I beat this dude is a turbo 1g DSM, stock '89 with 219k miles and a worn clutch. He was even cheater-starting. I dunno what he was doing but by about 60mph he was done. I know it was turbo i could hear it making all sorts of noise

not any slower than a stock 24o, stock for stock, they're both mid to low 16second cars (most of em anyway). 9/1o times i beat my friends 99 RS 5spd, and 9/1o times i beat my other friends 93 24o 5spd (both have about 11ok) and they are VERY close in a race all the way to about 1oomph.

240 is slooowww but they beat most civics so it makes you wonder...what exactly do THEY consider their car??

Post by **Sliding_S14** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

ive riden in a 96 rs eclipse intake/cat back exhaust, and friends stock (cut muffler) 240 still killed the eclipse. i kill the eclipse with my 96 with just intake/exhaust.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

rs suck...

though with a good driver I've seen a stock one about 5 seconds off the Z06 at the autocross.

Post by **Sliding_S14** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

wanna share the difference in performance between the rs and gs?

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

on the older models it was the entire motor if I remember right, not sure on the newer, but probably the same case

Post by **Silent Drifter** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

some piece of crap RS. I was supposed to race my friend in his RST(yes I said RST, Figure it out) He's bout half second faster than me but with a good r/t an 60' i should be next to him. But he wont race due to the fact hes drivin to chicago an doesnt want somethin to break so were racing when he gets back in like 2 weeks.

Your right its was just a crappy RS, no contest. Even STOCK gst's arent that hard.

I would watch out before he spits in your food. I know people who did that to customers that pissed them off.

Post by **jdmfreak** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

Oh my bad. I thought the eclipse you raced was the turbo rs you were talkin about in the other thread.

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

the 96 RS had the same motor as the GS in those particular bodies, they produced 140 hp out of a 2.0

the earlier RS had a crappy 1.8 with a massive 91 hp

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

I would so pimp a 91 hp car. Imagine the fuel economy.

Post by **Silent Drifter** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

^Geo Metro anyone?JDMfreak03-No unfortunatly it is the Turbo RS, Ive been wantin to race him for a while but hes afriad hell break somethin befor his trip to chicago.

I think hes scared of the 240 haha. But when I race him Ill definatly post the details.

Post by **1TuffRS** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

First off, hello to everyone I had a '97 RS until 2 weeks ago when someone ran me off the road and the car did two 360s flew off a 25' embankment and flew into the woods. Fortunately I'm ok, but now Im shopping for a replacement. Since you guys are comparing the two this seems like a perfect opprotunity for me to ask a few questions. But what Im wondering is what kind of times are you guys getting in the 1/4 mile with bolt ons?? I know you guys are saying that RSs are slow, but I ran a best of 15.46 (on a track that goes slightly uphill so it should have been faster) with a CAI, 2.5" exhaust, Underdrive pulley and a jeep TB (60mm) and want to replace my car with something that is comparable. Thanks

^ wow, never knew those things were capable of that. Did you have the 2.4L motor.

you're in a nissan forums, ppl would direct you toward nissan/infinity (:cough: 240

Post by **1TuffRS** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

no, I didnt have the 2.4L just a box stock 2.0 with the mods I listed, hehe. It was amazing how many people came up to me after that run and asked if my car was turbo or spraying, lol (mostly honda guys though). They respond to mods well and it doesnt hurt that I can drive pretty well (atleast I like to think so). I just wish I could have taken it to a flat track to see what it was really capable of. But there are a few other guys over on 2GNT that are running mid to low 15s with a NA 2.0. And be a little weary of a turbo RS, they respond very well to boost. They are capable of mid to low 14s, possibly high 13s if driven right.

And I know this is a nissan forum and Im really really leaning towards a 240sx and doing an SR swap. I rode in a guys 240 w/ a turbo kit and it hauled a LOT of a$$, lol. Im more about going fast than looking good, but the 240 is a beautiful machine, as was the eclipse. Once I get the 240 it will be a couple months until I can afford the SR swap and was just curious as to what kind of times you guys were running with just bolt ons.

Oh and one more thing, why does it say Im driving my mom's car under my name on the left? I mean I am for the time being but I dont remember putting that anywhere when I registered, lol.

nice kill but i'd say he put some secret sauce on that food he gave you for free from Micky Dee's....just his contribution to your win!

Post by **droptopsilvia** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

it'll say that until you get some more posts....its like some strange rating, the more posts, the faster your imaginary nico-forum-mobile is! hahaha

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

my mom's car sucks...

Post by **Guffed** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

yeah I have a race lined up with a gs-t spyder. he has intake, cat-back, and that's it...My 240 has a ca18det with intake, 3-inch, tunned ecu, triple puck clutch, front mount (itll be in by then) and turbo piping (goes with the fmic)...I wonder who's going to win? Yeah and he said he'd go for money.

Post by **1TuffRS** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 5:43 pm

with those mods you'll probably take the spyder. They are pretty heavy when compared to a 240 (like almost 3200lbs), plus its FWD, race him from a stop.
