[video] Why did I buy a 240sx???

Post by **Souljourner** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

a big WAASSSSAP from Canada

I just bought a 1995 240sx LE.

It's been a blast of a month. Rainy days are never the same again!!!

My last car was a Honda Civic SiR (also my first car). And I don't understand how I was able to sell my civic and buy this lovely car and still have half the money left over - I can't believe I didn't buy a 240 earlier!

I mainly bought my 240 because I finally woke up from my FF-performance-car dream. Thanks to Initial-D.

Glad to join your club. It's been great! The posts here seem a lot more mature compared to what I've seen over at the civic clubs.

I want to share some good 240 videos with you guys. This is one of my all time favs. You guys MIGHT have seen some of these, but it's worth a shot

Welcome to the boards!

Actually I've never seen those vids before...all I have to say is DAAAAAAYYYYUUUUUUUUUUM. That first clip made me drool.

Thanks! I am working on a drift video of my own... I hope to show it to you guys in the coming week!!

It's gonna start snowing here in Toronto in another month or so. It'll make things very interesting

If anyone is interested in the videos above, you can get the entire collection at

Post by **Excedio** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

the two of you have shifted from the darkside to the lightside of the force :thumbup

Post by **MAXIMUS Nismo** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

naw man. this is the darkside..........fact: there are a lot more lightsiders than there are darkiesfact: 240 owners are more fanatical about the car than H owners are.fact: there are a lot of jedi wannabees runnign around but there are a few 240 darth-mauls, darth-vaders, darth-maxmus, darth-freak, darth-dauntt, darth-ecidios.

know what i mean

I'm an ex-Honda owner, but the sale of the Si and the purchase of the S13 were unrelated and seperated by more than a few months. I was busy working on the FD.

I still want to pick up a 92-95 Si (the hatch) for a built B18C5, but it's down the list. I also need a WRX STi (deposit has been paid, I get the third one in Houston), another FD, and of course, a Ducati 748R.

I would have put in some of the better clips, but Premiere doesn't open wmv files (yet it encodes it

). Anyway, enjoy, there's lot's of drifiting action...let me know what you think.

sorry the typo says movie.

Post by **turbocarslut** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

you can count me in too...I just sold my 97 civic turbo hatch...made a lot of money and just found a 95 240sx for $3000!....which means I have about 5-6 grand to splurge for a swap and other goodies.

LOL

It's very likely that civcs are most people's first car. It was pretty good. Vtec and all, but it just won't haul ***, and can't maintain drifts!!! So I :chainsaw the sucker =). I am lucky to have sold it.

LOL... I have a little bit of a leak of some sort in the underbody - Red coloured liquid. Not sure what it is. After I get that fixed, I am sure I'll get laid. I have been putting my girlfriend aside and spending quality time with my car until I get it up and running in top notch condition :ylsuper

By the way, do any of you guys do drifting in Gran Turismo 3?

GT3 rules at drifting BRO.my fav in that game is the FDRX. THe cwest silvia aslo racks up some nice drifts. Especially in the water stages.

Souljourner [/quote]that red liquid is probably transmission fluid...its red...hopefully im wrong and its something not so troublesome

Hey, Issanni, who plays that song in your movie? And how right you are! That sure as hell took a long time to download, but it was worth it, that's a good mix, bud.

God, you can compare anything to Star Wars. The movies rock. Welcome to the boards. You'll be warmly welcomed unless you start talking about altezzas and neon lights.

Nick.

Post by **Excedio** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

speaking of neon lights...a friend of mine bought a new SE-R Spec-V its really bad@***...only prob is that he put white neon light on the bottom...i was opposed to them until he told me that they added 25 hp each...now i want some or maybe its the alcohol talking :alcoholic

Post by **Excedio** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

ill take them all but the springs...i just got my sportlines 2 days ago

...to bad i just get to look at them until i get some struts

Post by **nametakennow** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

I'll assume that was a joke and move on. Drifting in GT3 is crazy and fun. Try it in AWD cars, really odd, put the VCD at 50/50 and really mess with your head. I love 1000hp GT-Rs...

Post by **`def-zero** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

yea im hella good at GT3 drifting im addicted to that game... now that u mentioned it imma go play it hah.

Post by **Excedio** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm

i need a ps2

Post by **Souljourner** » Mon Oct 14, 2002 7:50 pm
