Look, I'm not trying to start a fight, but a RSX type S will smoke a SOHC 240sx with equally skilled drivers, period! If you won, good kill, congratulations. But just cause you beat one RSX type S, doesn't mean you're going to beat them all. If you have the opportunity, try and trade cars with the guy you beat and race again. Then tell me your impressions of a RSX type S.
OK, the spring issue. Well, its pretty obvious by your reply that you are just trying to make a fashion statement. Installing springs to some people isn't just for looks (rice). I'm installing my springs to lower the center of gravity on my vehicle, which, in turn, will improve my handling. I'm adding shocks for the damper adjustment and sways and strut brace to stiffen the chassis. Yes, this will remove the ugly a** wheel gap, but I am doing it more for the performance aspect rather than the rice aspect, thats why i am waiting, most likely till after prime time show off season (summer). Oh well, I want it done right the first time, and not have to worry about anything, just straight to the track when the car is ready. A good suspension set up will shave SECONDS off your lap time, but I wouldn't expect a ricer boy to know anything about racing on a track, instead of a straight line on the streets! The hops in your ride will be due to blown shocks, not crappy roads, at high speeds. And FYI, Canadian roads (Toronto to be specific) are better maintained than most of the American roads that i have travelled on (aside from the really large cities). I don't understand how larger wheels will INCREASE the wheel gap, unless its due to a really low profile on the tires. Aside from that, 17" (not foot) wheels would decrease the gap, not increase it from a stock 15" rim, right?
Considering your car is 13 years old, I think its about time you swapped engines, your car will be pooched shortly tough 15 second guy. Mine is 7 years old with 160000km, I think I still have at least 5 years left on her, so I HIGHLY doubt this engine will pooch out on me. This is my 2nd 240sx, so i think i may know a thing or two about the car. Yeah, you better leave this thread to me, cause you keep getting caught with your foot in your mouth. Nothing a little proof reading couldn't fix, but I believe they teach that to you in grade 7, obviously you aren't that old yet. Oh no, I can't handle tuning as well as you can handle your 15 second monster! Wow, I am SOOOO JEALOUS, I wish I could afford 17 foot rims, what a power item! Once I get my turbo installed, I'll talk power to you. FYI, I'm pushing somewhere in the neighbor hood of 170HP, which isn't much, but is more than a SOHC motor. The only reason your car would be faster is because it is lighter, power to weight raio's, y'know? Big deal, your car can beat mine (maybe, pretty unlikely) but if it could, I DON'T GIVE A s***!! I can point out 50 cars on the streets that will take my 240 to school, but I'm not trying to be the fastest guy on the streets. My car is a daily driver, and even when I do swap to the SR, I will run it stock until I buy another sweet car to drive daily. You're still a kid, with no bills or responsibilities, so go ahead and waste all your coin.
buddy, your uncle ben's mobile can't talk to my machine! Keep trying though, I'll see you on the autocross course in a couple months.
Springs add performance too, its not just for looks, noob! Your pos outhandled another ****box, congrats. How do you manage to measure this when you don't autocross? Maybe your buddy can't drive, or maybe the rx isn't running properly, who knows and who cares. I'm sure your car handles nicely, I'm not going to take that from you, but upgrade your car for the right reasons, you're lost man. All you talk about is performance this, and performance that, but you justify your mods with ricer boy answers. One day, young grasshopper, you will open your eyes and see that i am only trying to help you out, not battle..........
