I think the 240sx sub-forum is the new general banter forum...

pics of said girlfriend?

im def with you on this one, cause i was expecting a crash story.

And these threads do belong in general this section is becoming a real general chat for the 240sx.org section. Well if you look on the hompage of 240sx.org clicking general forum brings you to this section so you cant complain, and it was never named that b4. i4got wat it used to be...

Why the hell are people thinking these days?

Because they have brains? Sometimes I think just to kill time, I dunno.

Is it hard for you to think? It's hard for me to read your thoughts, so yeah...

[numbnuts240]

That's a really stupid statement Rich.

given the opportunity, i'd take an itr over any s-chassis any day of the week.

Ya thats why i fixed all the problems and kick my friends a** with the celica. U can suck on my balls archer because i worked for all of my s***. I went from buying an $800 dollar eclipse so selling my s14 for $3500. Never added money to the pot just flipped cars. What did you do when you were 17?

I purchased my 1993 240SX Hatchback when I was 16. Paid for it myself, sold it and purchased my now 1995 240SX, and pay for that as well. Was there some kind of point you were trying to prove?

Because what I was saying was - don't smack talk other peoples cars when yours isn't anything to write home about either. Let me guess...stock body / engine, maybe a fartcan and a sweet cold air intake that for some reason, you think makes like 10 - 15 hp?

Great thread bro, thanks for sharing, everyone is paying attention to you now - do you feel better?

[simmode1]

because thats all you can do to a celica tell him to get a supra haha

I had a Celica as my first car, too... That's why I weighed in on this. I hated when guys told me to just get a Supra. If you want a Toyota, there are plenty of other perfomance models you can get besides a Supra. Like a 2nd or 3rd gen MR, a Lexus SC/IS/GS, Alltrac Celica, and some ppl forget all about the 3rd gen Supra....

I would not. I have a friend that had an ITR with bolton's and chipped. We were both unimpressed with it. A mutual friends N/A MKIII Supra walked all over it. He eventually switched to a 2nd gen Miata, which was waaaay more fun. And then he went to a IS300. Not sure what he's driving now...

I had a similar experience with a Civic driving friend. We were discussing how another mutual friend is planning on buying a newer car and has decided on getting an '05 STI. My Civic driving buddy proceeds to say, "Sorry man, but if I was gonna spend $17k on a new car, I'd just get one of the new Civic SI's..."

I was like "You'd take a Civic SI over a similarly priced Impreza STI?!"

He said; "What can I say? I'm a Honda guy."

My girlfriend (now ex) heard the conversation and goes "Isn't that Subaru turbo and all wheel drive?"

I say "Yep."

Her: "He's stupid."

pics or ban.

we need to confirm this is "gf" was a chick, or else the story doesn't make any sense.

Bought the car with the fart can. The money i put into it went to shocks, springs, adjustable ruca's and rlca's, a new clutch, and a strut bar. I never modded the engine. Suspension first power second.

I've read a lot of about "rev-matching" I'm sorry if this comes as an extremely noobie question, but I'm trying to do more research before I start trying to drift around.What exactly is rev-matching, in terms of heel-toe shifting. I understand it matches the revs of the engine with the speed of the wheels, but how do you know when this occurs? Is there a magic number of RPM I should be aware of or something.

Thanks guys.

ya u know a whole lot about performance and driving....

Well i dont really understand the question but i think i can help. Rev matching isnt about making that perfect number, its not like you have to perfectly match the speeds of the wheels and engine in terms of numbers. Its about getting it as closely as possible and with heel-n-toe'ing.... its about doing it while braking. Heel and toe isnt necesary for amatuer drifting, its not necessary for gettin the car sideways either. Basically when heel-and-toe'ing youre braking with your right foot clutching with left and using the side of your right foot or heel to tap the gas. Decelerating the car on the brake.. with less speed requires lower gear, but since the car is now going slower (out of the powerband) than that higher gear you were in if you shift down a gear the trans will be going at a faster rate of speed when engaged than b4 and since you have clutched in the engine rpms also drop. So as to not lock the tires up, you heel and toe. Meaning you bring the engine rpms up while still braking (basically you have to know your car and know wat rpms the engine is in at a given wheel speed to know how hard to tap the gas) by shifting your heel or the side of your foot to tap the gas. while doing that u clutch in, downshift and then realase the clutch once the rpms are up and are in the range they would be with the speed of the car. It sounds complicated, its not easy to do, but with practice makes perfect. I hope that helped cause i confused myself and had to reword this a bit.

danger to da manifoldzz

[vdub62387]

Some people dont care about how fast a car is and just want it to look nice, other ppl dont care about looks and just want speed.

It all depends on what a person likes

I still only wanna see the pics of the chick.

haha chucki coupe my bad i was quoting something a guy said...
