if its a showcar and he likes it that way thats fine. if its a showcar and he calls it the ultimate drift/drag machine, then i find something wrong with it

i think the reason he gets jumped on by so many people is because he was one of the 1st people to put 240s into the mainstream, but if you think about it, the 240 is such a great car, that it woulda been put into the mainstream by someone else eventually. and if that did happen, all the posts with rick chu's name on it could easily be replaced with "joe silvia"

plus i wouldnt call him a poser because of the s15 lights, i mean he was one of the 1st people with the strawberry conversion


and the tv thing, id LOVE to have a tv in my car...use it for dvds, gauges (via hks or aem piggyback systems) cds....all sorts of shit. but i dont have the money. plus i have a backpack for school in my trunk, extra pairs of shows a basketball and many books...so what would i care if my car has an extra 7 lbs on it? man, one night at a chinese buffet and me myself adds an extra 7lbs to the car as well...

and btw, dorkin, im not pizza faced!!!!..........anymore.....


The point is, he makes himself out to be a hardcore JDM drifter, and never takes it to the track, all the while dissing up "single-cam KA fags"

You know, he had a red S14 w.ricey bodykit and wheels, plus NOS before the "Silvia"

Not everyone has mommy and daddys money to spend.

Good choice on the CRX

that's pretty much it... we do suck.. not much we can do about it

a single cam modded up though could kill his stock sr. i believe stock sr does 1/4mi in 14.5, and ka-t's could easily go in 13's and even 12's.

i remember somebody sayin to get a CRX and drop in a D16Z6 in it...why dont i get a CRX and keep the engine it got in it?...i know the horsepower suck on it stock but fuck it...try to find a '91 Honda CRX Si(102hp)i think that right...and tune it up...or just find a CRX(98hp)and tune it up...that would work wouldnt it:confused:, so i dont have to spend another 500 on the D16Z6,

But i got a question...if i do swap in a D16Z6 in the CRX...what would it probably do in a 1/4 miles?...just a guess i would need...


Of course you could keep the stock motor, but I'm sure it would have a hundred million miles on it:rolleyes:

Plus the D16Z6 has 125hp stock, and for 500$ I dont think you could get from 98hp to 125hp in your stock high mileage CRX. Not to mention that it has VTEC, everyones dream. Oh yea, the D16 can handle alot more power as well. You can find a setup so cheap I think thats it's worth it.

If you swapped it straight into the CRX, I am guessing it would pull high 15's with good driving skill.

125hp?? gees im glad i dont drive a honda :lol:

nissan engines rule...

why am i here? who are you? where am i?



j/p i just feel like taggin along on this topic. anyways, KA on a 240 is not a truck engine. our engine is made in japan, the hard body KA is made in mexico. the hardbody KA has no oil squirters on the rods, the 240 KA does. a KA running the same boost will make more power then a SR running on the same boost. a KA can handle inbetween 250 to 300 wheel hp on stock internals. the SR will need a turbo upgrade to even make that much power.

I thought only the DOHC versions had oil squirters not the SOHC ones...

well since i'm a twin cam guy, i always have a habit to only think of hte twin cam... doh anyways, i'm not too sure about the single cam though, but i'm pretty sure that the KA in any 240 is a better engine then the ones found in the truck.

the one i'm lookin for is a '91 Honda CRX Si it has 108hp on it...plus what is confusin to me...is if i swap in a D16Z6...what kind of car it come out of...like when u buy a intake system it go by the kind of car u got...So what car does that engine come out of?

And when i swap a engine do i need to switch other parts...like the transmission...if i do what parts do i need to switch to swap the engine?

The D16Z6 comes from a 92-95 Civic EX. You will need the tranny, ecu, and other things, but you shouldnt locate all the parts yourself. Buy a front clip of a wrecked civic for everything you will need. Start a thread in the 92-95 Civic forum here on AF. There are some Honda junkies that can help you more than I.

ecu? and when u say front clip u mean and fuck up civic? at the junk yard?

A 240sx is a drifting car, that is why this is one of the more popular cars in japan because it's a rearwheel drive. for a starter car I would suggest a civic because it's cheap on all the parts and modifications. and it's very easy to fix. But if you want to start with the new craze of drifting I would go with the 240.

drifting isn't a craze

Euro's are a craze

secondly Drifting isn't that easy.

thirdly there's nothing wrong with a KA
