SUP GUYS IM NEW TO THIS FORUM AND I NEED SOME INFO

[Chingon]

If the guy drives like he says he does, you'll lose.

[Red coupe]

well i got a head job and tune up so will i still lose?

I think you usualy only get the head job if you win also just because there are fields on both sides doesnt mean that no one can get hurt...but at least no one else is around.Welcome to nico!we hate cause we love...

i want to see the time slip of you doing a 15.7 quarter mile on an auto 240sx. ive never seen a 5-speed stock 240sx run anything better than a 16 and that would have to be with the wind.

[dfw240_EE]

Only one way to find out, without looking foolish:

Take it to a track, and make it happen.

Fact is, BOTH cars are miserably slow, so it's really irrelevant.

But, you're in the right place to learn how to remedy that, so Welcome to NICO / 240sx.org!

I would disagree there. I find the 240SX to be plenty fast for my tastes, not a demon, but good. I guess for me, I find that the 240SX is an excellent blend of speed, handling, reliability, fuel efficiency, and insurance cost.

Of course my idea of the perfect blend would be something like a Catherham Super 7 Provided you build it right of course.

I get Mid 13's in My 240 wan that is when i mess up on shifting to soon

wtf yes welcome...wait did i already tell u that? whatever, and btw come join the longass post in the test forum

[Red coupe]

don't you have 1/10th a liter more and 2 extra cylinders

[sean8564]

plus a turbo so yes life is good

i thought the 240sx was miserably, terribly, super duper slow, with no sarcasm added. it was an auto though, owned by a mechanic.. still terribly, horribly, miserably, super duper slow, WOT feels .. not like WOT.. just sounds like it lol

[THEADICTZ]

will it help me a lil if i buy a tornado or make a homemade ram air or buy a cone filter ? lol just wanna shave a second off

[THEADICTZ]

well he is intimidated by my car he says its the one of the best 4bangers ever made. well like i said tell u how it goes

[babowc]

puahahhhahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah

are you talking about those lame.. "tornado in your engine" thing?

if you want to shave a FULL SECOND off your 1/4.. haah.. it wont be easy nor cheap

haha, there were alot more better il4 made then the 240sx.. the KA24 E/DE is not one of the best, nor would it gain anywhere in the top 20 (imo + facts)

just go out there and see who wins.. im sure it'll be the tC unless he misshifts or shifts like crap

[THEADICTZ]

i heard they work my buddy had a rx7 2nd gen non turbo and he said it works and he has a shop were he does swaps,etc

[AZhitman]

*sigh*

If they worked, don't you think auto manufacturers would make them?

No offense, but your "buddy" with the n/a RX7 is wrong. They do nothing.

It's simple physics. I'd recommend taking the next several days and just reading as much as you can here.

There's SO much to learn, and if there's one thing we don't stand for, it's misinformation.... Too many people rely on us for GOOD info.

[obnoticus]

your friend is an idiot, read the latest popular mechanics. they tested it among others, and the test vehicle lost about 10% hp on the dyno (they only mentioned percentages), and fuel economy went down like 10-15%. i dont have the mag with me so the numbers may not be accurate, but they are definatly very bad, and very negative.

[AZhitman]

p.s. Take it to a track.

I'd bet a paycheck your car isn't well-maintained enough for high-speed emergency maneuvers.

Please, don't be stupid. There are a TON of cars out there faster than yours, and some that are slower. It DOES NOT MATTER enough.

Besides, what are you gonna do if you DO wreck it? Doubt you're rolling with full coverage, so bye-bye car.

[dfw240_EE]

Of course, I also believe that the lightweight-ish body (still a touch chunky for my tastes, but I need the room) means that with proper maintenance and a sharp mind (and lots of research, start with that search button), it can become a real demon!

[THEADICTZ]

lost miserably

[KDashy]

Him or you?

[THEADICTZ]

me

[AZhitman]

Ouch.

Back to the drawing board.

[babowc]

told ya good luck nexttime though.

[adrianfromthecastle]

welcome to NICO. About the s13 vs. the scion... i dont know too much about the scion, but keep in mind that the scion has a considerably newer motor, compared to your motor. If your running your stock motor from 1993, you prob have 100,000+ miles. My money goes to the scion, but hey, you never know till you go. But becareful on the streets, it aint worth the car impound, lisence suspension, and fattest fine you probably ever pay.

[GEO]

Considering the scion is brand new. Unless you have a huge tune up in the works and are running like new, I think the fresh engine and the fact that you're an Automatic would be the cause to your loss. Also probably the wosrt post ever.

Welcome to Nico.

Don't be ****ing stupid mann... An automatic can win this race with ease. Have you ever heard of, hmmmmm, "POWERBRAKING".

[Red coupe]

you know what thats a damn good point Geo some one shoulda pointed that out before he got spanked rwd auto should be able put a serious hurt on a mostly stock FF as far as launch goes...If you didnt last time hold the brake with it in gear and get the rpms up, then let go and let of the brake and try not to just burn out...How did you do on the launch?

[AZhitman]

Wrong.

I don't care how much "powerbraking" he did, he's still only putting around 100 hp to the wheels.

Like I said, they're not fast. Cool, but not fast.

[Shift_Oversteer]

In order to *power brake* there has to be some power involved in the equation... Ive driven auto s13's before and i think he would be better off mildly n bombing it for the launch.

[sean8564]

Ok now you lost cut the crap and check this out zeroforum?id=130the KA forum ALSO USE the Button You can take two of the the three but you can not have them allCheap Reliable FAST

[babowc]

you know.. i just WOT'd my 240 like 2 hrs ago..but wow.. high end sucks on 240s.. it just would NOT go faster.. haha just a form of expression.. but it was a bit slow going up past 4th gear.

i was a bit disappointed

[sean8564]

Man I was so Glad to be rid of my KA Nothing but problems Timing chain white smoke out the exhaust Crap MotorRB Loud runs like a dream And I get the same MPG that I got in the KA PArts No problem to get eather Easier thana SR if you know where to look
