i normally clean the car every week and every few weeks i put it on stands and check for leaks. keep the interior clean and dont eat in it or let anyone else eat inside it either no matter what. i only really romp on the gas when i get challenged by some nut in a muscle car that sees the big muffler and thinks that all i have is a muffler as long as the road is clear and there are no cops around. its funny when you go up against the guys in canada with their sr20 skylines and smoke them with the rb25 240sx. let the good times roll.

I treat my car fairly nicely. The worst thing I did is paint it flat black. I've learned my lesson, and when I get some money I'm going to clean it up real nice and make it my DD. S13s are a dying breed. I'm going to go pick up a crashed shell tomorrow, build it up, and drive the hell out of it. Sort of like giving it a new chance at a life

my black 240 gets washed and cleaned every time i drive it, sometimes in between drives. and is dusted every day.

my white 240 gets washed when it rains.

funny thing is my black one is the one i take to the track and beat the crap out of, but then again it gets it's oil changed every 1000 miles. it also get's a lot of maintenance. like checking every single nut and bolt after a beating.

i like to keep mine nice on the outside when she's behaving, always clean on the inside and in the bay. shes been down for a month and i just got her running about an hour ago, i think ill give her a bath now.

As far as mods go, i dont really have an absurd, but the ones that i have now are name brand parts i got used and for a nice price. Save for my mild motor build, that little guy was pricey.

my car looks like crap, have front end damage from when I hit a deer, the paint has a massive delamination problem, and it has 260K on it. Have had it for going on 5 years and used to wash it every weekend until the paint started to peel off. Now I haven't washed it in over a year, the inside is beyond disgusting(bt their isn't really any trash in it except for the pile of empty cigarette packs in the back). I don't really beat on the old girl very much, but every once in a while I'll tear into it to blow the built up carbon out and annoy the neighborhood. I have a mix of cheapo parts, OEM, and quality pieces on it, if it seems like a good deal I'll buy it, but otherwise I go with what I can afford, which isn't a whole hell of alot right now.

I love to keep my car clean in side and out, but I do smoke in it and I do drive it hard. The most recent damage being a quarter panel when I hit a guardrail driving on some twisty roads up north. My philosophy is if I wanted a simple A to B car, I would have never bought a 240. They're just way too much fun.

I'm the type of 240 owners that should probably be driving a Honda. I love neons, lighting, I care more about styling than functionality.

I'm the type of 240 driver that will pull up next to a Honda or Evo and do pulls next to them while turning my underglow on. I heel toe anywhere I see a tuner car.

You think I'm kidding? You must not know me.

i got some blue neons sitting in my garage i bought for my friends subie two years ago as a joke. what do you say teddy put em on the kouki?

i drive the f*** outta my car. i think ive hurt this car more then anyone else before me. but i love it so much at the same time. even when it does b****y things. i try to keep up on the washing and waxing as well. its a car its there to be driven hard.
