takakaira.com is an awesome one and go to http://www.zilvia.net/links/links.asp for sum good links as well.

save the money you'd put on stupid body mods that add weight, and save for something useful thats not ricey...

Good point. Ur going to pay around $1500 for bodykit plus labor when u could be buying some pulleys($300), flywheel($325), intake($200), header($300) and exhaust($500) for about the same price. Only thing is that the bodykit wont give you an extra 40 HP.

Lay off him, let him do a he pleases. If he is into looking good and such thats his choice. And he never said he knew nothing about performance or wanted it, you are making assumptions without getting any sort of info at all.

Teebone, what are you wanting to know about them. Are you looking for specific sites or How to's or something else.

www.raretrick.com (http://www.raretrick.com) has just about everything performance and exterior

good points good points, he could already have a 300 hp setup, and is ready for body mods now. Dont be so quick to snap on folks that are new to the forums, we dont know wtf they have. Anyways jdizzy and monoxide gave some good sites. Try these also

What the hell are you talking about, i said that in a nice way. Im in a good mood today, do you want to hear what the response would have been if i was going to bitch him out?? And whoever the creator of this thread is, what performance mods have you done?

You basically told him his choice to look nice was worthless then insulted him by saying his preference was ricey. If thats nice than wow. No I don't care to hear your mean response, how about a helpful one tho.

Or he can spend his money any damn way he pleases:thumbsup:.

WOW, your quick.... :thefinger

and too 91300zxtt, sorry if i was an ass in the first post. I didnt mean to insult him or anything. Im suprised i was the only one who said it.

and body mods arnt ricey are they??? ill have to ask RW so i dont "join" the bandwagon, cuz i dont like doing that apparently. The way i see it, im joining the ever so young ka bandwagon, but what ever gets his g-string out of his hairy crack suits me fine. THats why iv just realized i hate 240's cuz there a bandwagon car now. So i have 2 of them for sale if anyones interested.

im not even going to say my opinion on body mods, apperentaly they are a good choice to spend money on. And i dont give a shit if he spends his money how he wants, arent you going to try and stop someone who is lighting 20$ bills on fire? What do body kits accomplish? If you want a better "look", add a lip or something besides an extra 200lbs.

not all kits add 200 lbs. I mean think of jgtc...they still ADD the widebody, even though its carbon fiber/ fiber glass...they still ADD it. All in all who the hell cares. Some kits look clean and nice to me...but i am on the same page as you, do a little bit of performance before body mods. But hey maybe he just wants a nice looking 240 and isnt in to tuning that much. Id rather see a nice looking clean 240 with no other mods than some kid with a totally riced out 240.

WOW, your quick.... :thefinger

It's "you're" :thumbsup:.

I would also just like to see a clean 240, I mean im not saying adding a gawdy/boxy kit is something that appeals to me, but I was just trying to help the guy out. To each his own is my view on it

Hit_n Run, I don't believe you were trying to be an ass, just stating your opinion. Hoever it could have been worded differently along with just some help for the guy you know.

ahh, here it is. After 20min of searching, i found my favorite looking 240 on this forum. It looks so clean and nice, yet still not completely ricey.

Anytime:bigthumb: I figured if you were going to take a stab at insulting me, I could at least point you in the right direction of doing it correctly:smile:.

And yes, it does.

guys, you are ragging on and on about the body kits, think about it, they add STABILITY, BETTER COOLING, OPTION OF WIDER TIRES, and of course cool looks. i am looking at a 96 24o, gonna drop a tt rb in it, and shoot for about 450-500 rwh. with that kind of power, the weight is a minimum factor, if not an added bonus. the added advantages of the wider tires, better cooling, and added downforce at speed, is a much better option.... the kits actually do serve a purpose.

wind splitters and cannards keep air from getting under the car (which creates lift)and created downforce on the nose, spoilers create downforce on the rear. the big open air ducts cool breaks, engines, intercoolers, and all the goodies that need fresh air. but that is just my :2cents: , afterall, i am new to this too.

what's e' gonna do to his car....?

true... isn't that why we keep mentioning what performance mods he has?

btw, this is the best looking wide body kit i have found, you know of anything else????

http://www.vertexaerokits.com/ridgeS14kouki.htm

body kits add stability? and if you want wider tires, roll the fenders you already have... You guys have your opinion, and i have mine. Mine is that body mods are pointless, unless its wider tires or something usefull. But buying things to make other people think you look cool is stupid.

yes they do, at speed, why do you think so much attention is paid to a car in the wind tunnel in development, or an f1 car has the wings it has on it, did you know that an f1 car creates enough downforce that it could drive upside down on a ceiling at 91-100 mph?

i think i read that in popular science? like last year they had an article about it. Most body kits dont have wings on the side that create enough downforce like you say it is. And i still would like to know what he has done engine wise.

It Isnt The Wings On The Side That Create The Downforce, It Is The Nose And The Spoiler, The Sides Are The Fueltanks, And Engine Cooling Stuff. They Create A Little But Not Nearly As Much As The Front And Rear.

(please Exscuse The Caps, At Work.)

The Body Kits Do Divert The Airflow Over The Car, Obviously Not To The Extent Of An F1, But For The Street They Serve The Purpose. Keeping Air Over The Car, I Was Thinking Of Skinning The Underside Of Mine (using An .040 Gage Alluminum) When I Build It.

I think you guys should all drop it since this guy did a damn "drive-by post". I mean he left one post and never even came back to argue his point or explain his plans. So everyone stop getting mad at each other. Damn, u go in that corner and you go in that corner. Your all on time out!!!!!! HAHAHA

All Tounge In Cheek, Good Humor, Nobody Gettin Any Eyes Poked Out Or Anything 'momma... *sniff Sniff Pout Pout*

Sorry for coming back on this, but it's true that F1 cars need the downforce so they don't fly off the ground and what not, but 299$ bodykits won't hold the car down at 150mph, they'll just get ripped off, and even high end bodykits won't hold the car down unless it's the same model that's on a race car, and even if id did offer enough downforce, downforce doesn't come into play at 50mph, it comes into play at speeds only crazy japs reach on highway runs, something this guy will never do, so...yeah, 99% of bodykits are useless, but if someone wants to put one on, whatever, he knows he looks stupid if he has nothing to back it up.

True, You Get What You Pay For. And Yes, If You Cant Back It Up, Then All Ya Got Is A Looker, And I Would Rather Have A Sleeper That Will Run, Than A Looker That Sleeps.
