I "know about Yashio" factory...and it's still stupid. Wannabe JDM fanbois of all makes paint their cars with ridiculous themes, 240's aren't special in anyway, shape or form anymore.

No huge disrespect to the original poster but he might aswell just said, "Check out my sweet Civic hatchback I'm planning on putting a B16 in. It's gunna have these hella sweet fender flares on it with some totally dope *** 19x5" rota knock-offs of some good wheel and it's gunna be about 2" off the ground with my 'coilovers.' (even though they're not real coilovers, just those gay *** adjustable springs ricers use)Of course minus all the capital letters and punctuation...

Agreed. This thread became garbage about the time the original poster got around to hating on a paint color because of the jerks that drive the car it comes on. Then, the blind brand loyalty and JDM tyteness argument pretty much killed it.

My vote is still for UPS Brown, because if you're out to paint your car to look like crap, paint it the right color.

Sorry I snapped last night. Was haven't having a good day. I do like just about any kind of car. I am just so sick an tired of guys in my town with mustangs. There is one on every block. In a little town like mine yoou get tired of them. I am a life long Pontiac fan. My dream car is a 64 GTO. I have owned a 66 Impala, a 78 Vega wagon pro-street, a 67 Bronco, and 69 Mustang. Yes, a Mustang. Had to sell because of the over abundancy of them where I live.

Again, my apologies.

I can honestly say I have never seen a pink 240 befor and that was the reason for my color choice. My wife wanted orang but in the last D-Sport mag there were like 100 orange cars in there. I thought I was looking at pictures of a pumpkin patch.

Well, there's a BIG difference between hating on the attitude some drivers of a particular car have and the cars themselves.

At any rate, if you want a pink 240, go for it. No one should dictate how your car looks besides you.

SeVa needs a hug...

And you need to not paint your car that color if you have nothing under the hood to back it up. I am a firm beiever that you keep your car away from being trendy untill you have some crazy machinery under the hood.

There are al of you who pride yourselves on aesthetics, but there seriously needs to be a watchdog for this kinda krazy junk. I wouldnt wanna see a pink car rolling down the street unless you had at least 20 grand pushing your car.

Well, I am about $2000 shy of the $20 grand mark. And that is just in parts. This car will be a total package. Mine always are. I like fast, I also like flashy. And like I said, I am shooting for a minimum of 450 WHP. So it will be nothing to sneeze at.

Seems to me some of you only want to go fast, and that is fine if that is what you want. But don't call me or my car trendy because we have different tastes.

Post up some pics of your other cars that you built. I'm curious to see how you blended fast with flashy and how it worked out.

Ok, bare with me, I don't know how to post more than one pic per post. And I don't have any new pics of the Scion. I will take some tomorrow and post them.

The Sunfire. Only had the small 2.2. Ran 13's, I know that's not real fast, but consider the weight of the wheels, ICE, and body kit.

They can't be that bad. The CRX had 4 paid sponsors including Darkstar Racing, Auto Trendz, Mikes Transmissions, and MMR USA.

The Sunfire was sponsored by Fiber Images(hence the custom made hood), Modern Image(Free graffix and entry to shows), and ARD Performance.

The Scion is sponsored by Auto Trendz again.

Seems like some people will have something bad to say no matter what. Just because it isn't what you would do doesn't mean it's wrong.

*holds back laughter*

back on the original topic

IMHO the less attention i attract the better for me

and as said if you want the car to look like **** paint it like ****

i saw a Volks Golf at a carshow that the owner called the "Poo Poo" and the paint was literally called "poop brown"

Now that's retarded. But to each there own. there is a car here the plate says FLRORNG and it was intentionally painted with orange peel.

Anyways, I like attention. Easier to get into trouble. And races.

so you want to get your car impounded?

you want to get your license revoked?

you want to win until you pull up to a 1JZ supra or a built stang and look like a fool?

if your whole reason for an rb is to embarras others, thats just gay......... How bout shipping me all your parts and i'll drop it in my s14 and actually have a better purpose than to embarras others, like drifting or drag racing and auto x/ And, street racing is gay, if thats how you plan to beat the mustangs, then so be it. But street racing is just not right. If you only knew how may people think they are so bad *** in my town b/c they have something w/ a bodykit, and how many times people want to race me, you would shoot yourself. So just drive around and don't pay attention to all of the stangs. HELL, all i see are civics, but i don't do a swap so i can beat them. O wait, i already can LOL. I'm off to bed. JUST My .02 cents

I doubt either of those cars would get impounded. I don't think they revoke licenses for gaudy cars. And I have an odd feeling that CRX beat up on some mustangs in its day. And it's not like alot of supras and mustangs aren't so atrociously riced out it makes your eyes bleed...supra owners are some of the worst offenders.

Im not to familiar with this Yashio Factory, but im not much for really bright colors usually. There are some exceptions, but i dont really know what to say about the pink. I mean im sure it works for alot of people, but i cant say its really to my taste.
