I was in my local walmart where poor kids like me shop for x-mas gifts for family and i decided i would go and read all the car magizines so i wouldnt have to buy any. Well lets just say after 40 mins of readin i had to leave for work. I left mad, all i saw in the magizine was things such as ; Turning your 240sx into a Silvia, Honda's are out and 240sx is in, How to swap a sr20det into your 240sx, 3 dollar intercooler water sprayer....and so on..they even had an article on how to turn your 240 "totally JDM" and another article on jsut 240sx body kits. I hope people with there hondas stay with thier hondas or upgrade to something besides the 240. Well post any opinions or other outrages articles. Thanks in advance

^ eh, as long as I don't see any 240s that are riced out I'm fine. I don't mind import tuners spreading the popularity of the 240sx, seems that 240s have gotten really popular lately. I didn't know about em till last year when I went car hunting. Now if import tuner turns 240 owners into rice-boys, then I'd have a problem with that. But there aren't many people with 240sx's to begin with, I don't see many S14 240sx's around me, they're pretty rare. I do see some S13s, but nowhere to the degree of civics, accords, mustangs, and recently popular neons. The worst are those riced out neons, my god. Domestic rice are the worst. This neon had a hood scooper, wing, ugly rims, crappy tint job (the kind with all these air bubbles in em, and many countless other tacky shit.

i just hope 240s don't get overrated because after all, 240s were always underrated

Oops... that was an SRT4! ahahha j/k, but who knows? Would you mine the rice if it were fast?

Agreed...

I see quite a few 240s around me...there are 2 regulars just at the walmart I work at and neither of the owners work there. Both are S14s. One is a '95 metallic gray/purpleish and an auto. The other is a kouki SE(no way to tell from just looking at it whether it's a 97 or 98 that I know of) in a dark purple color (looks factory, but I'm suspect) and it's an auto. Both have no mods inside or outside and sound like they have bone stock engines. They are also both in amazing condition...especially the kouki which looks like it came off a lot just the other day and it's 5+ years old.

There are also quite a few S13s that come through, none are regulars though.

The most mods the 240s that come through have is usually exhaust...never anything stupid usually.

yea trends move from car to car style to stlye. I hear you guys and girls moan alot about honda rice. Now its moving away to 240s and its going to get worse trust me! I love 240s and hate to say this to you guys but hell in few years 240s will be out something new in. Its just how trends are if you guys really care bout your hobby enough you'll put up with it. hell I know what your going through and it sucks.

naw,i dont think little ricers would go for a 240sx. They all like a Integra,civic,rsx or cavs,focus,and neons..240sx's are for people who want something kind of rare,and ricers want something everyone has..

I dont mind the import tunerz its the ricers i am worried about. When the import tuners get it they will just lower proces and up perfromance. There is nothing worse then seening a Mustang Gt with a huge wing and a ricer body kit with neons and all. I only have 2 s13's in my Town and 1 s14. Then again i see more Srt-4 thens 240sx so my town still has hope. The more i read the more i see the end for any rarity is goin straight downhill. and why do all the magazines go sr20det and never ka24det? just something to think about. Thanks for the replys

oh shut up. little ricers? heres a clue.

you are a little ricer.

obviously you dont know how import trends come and go. im sorry to say the in the not-so-distant future, the 240 is gonna be guaranteed rice. and yes, it has already begun.

you know the part in the movie jurassic park, where the kid sees the ripples in the puddle and knows the t-rex is comming? well ricers are the t-rex and you my friend, are the ripples. YOU ARE THE FREAKIN RIPPLES!

I hope people with there hondas stay with thier hondas or upgrade to something besides the 240.

You're saying this like all Hondas are rice or something. I own a Honda and it's rice free. A a matter of fact, I'd trade my GSR and my left nut for a 240 with an SR20det but I can't (dad won't let me).

The way you look at it is if a Honda person (like me) touches a 240, it'll be rice. NO, I've wanted a 240 before the drift bandwagon came along and I'm telling you right now...not everyone in the Honda crowd is about rice. I can't believe you even look at Honda people like this. I know at least 10 Honda owners who could build a decent 240 and here you are saying you don't want 240s touched by Honda people because they'll mess them up....don't be so ignorant.

I'm not tryin to flame you but that small comment pissed me off. ;)

When i owned my civic i used to really let this shit bother me. i'd see a ricy civic and get pissed cuz that was the guy that was makin imports look bad...

i'm a bit older now and i have to be honest. i only focus on my car and i don't really care who does what to whatever they own. it doesn't reflect upon me.

oh, and this shit is drivin the price of the 240 up, you guys shouold be happy. maybe someone will make you a great offer... (i'm not sellin mine tho. :grinno: ..)

ditto to grncivic.

i've said this a hundred thousand times now. i love the 240 and have done so for a long time, and no matter how "rice" (yeah right) it gets or how many people own it, i'll always love it and still plan to buy one and do all the same mods to it that i've always planned to do to it. if people want to label me as a ricer or a bandwagon jumper because of that, then they can go right ahead. i won't care. I'LL know that i'm not, and that's all that matters.

yeesh. i should keep a counter of how many times per month i have to type that. :lol:

:lol2: no...
look,i dont know where you live,but over here at houston tx,i see nice,rice free 240sx's.. :smile:

There arent enough 240's avalible to get too "trendy".

Not all hondas are rice but there are far more that are then there are that arent. ANd i agree the 240sx is gunna be the next thing. No one really cared about civics unless is was for economy until they started to get crazy hp numbers out of them. Then everyone was in for the "civic popularity ride" and the same thing is happening with the 240sx. People are starting to be noticed for having crazy hp numbers with them and they will gain popularity also. And even if offered a outrageous price for my 240, i wont sell it. The only other car I would want is an fc3s rx7, insurance is too high for a 17 year old, even if ill be 18 soon. My 240 keeps me with low insurance and high potential. Sorry so long. but has to voice. TIA

:lol2: no...
look,i dont know where you live,but over here at houston tx,i see nice,rice free 240sx's.. :smile:

i happen to know there are many riced 240sxes in houston.

but then again, your a ricer ripple-boy, i bet if you saw an s13 with altezzas and 20 inch sprewells, you wouldnt think its rice.

Mr7 is right there arent enough 240sx around to get trendy, and besides most ricers go for newer cars. im not worried even if it did happen all of us know there just dumb fuckin ricers and they will loss intrest so ill just drive buy the ones who try and laugh cuz they dont have shit. that how i feel and im sticking to it.

On the east coast, I see plenty of riced 240s. I have maybe ONCE seen a 240sx on the street that was modded in the interest of real track racing (other than my own).

when you all see a clean civic that runs 12s, 13s, or even 14s, or one that owns a porsche in an autoX, do u think rice? i don't, and anyone who knows anything about cars wouldn't. not every civic is rice. even if we begin seeing riced 240s, the tasteful car tuners will stand out and not be labeled.

hey logikal, quit bein such a jackass.

no offense to anyone but honestly, can't you stop worrying about everyone elses car and just work to make yours how you want it and then show all the little ricers up with their body kits, wings, tail lights, and muffler... cuz you know, a body kit adds 20hp, a wing 12hp, tail lights 8hp, and a muffler 30hp... adding a total of 0hp in real life... but let them think as they may and then you can blow them away :smile:

I'v said it before and I'v said it again, if your car starts to get a bad stigma attached to it, in this case one popular with ricers it kinda sucks. Thou you are still proud of your car and like it for what it is, it sucks to know that someone out there is making a bad name for it, sure it shouldnt bother you too much cause there car isnt your car, but you gotta admit it's nicer having people not have a biased opinion on your car before they know shit about it. Say theres 2 s13's in a small town and one jack ass run's around and worships uncle ben, and you show up and everyone thinks shit about the s13 cause of it, not that you have to prove somthing to somebody or that there opinon should matter all too much if at all, but...come on it's nicer not having that kinda shit related to your car, I thought about going domestic with the death of my last car..simply cause some of them are nice and dont have much of a bad rep, I was looking at a few chevelle's...nice nice cars even the malibu..anyway fuck that, I'm going for an s14...hope the one I'm checking out tomorrow isnt too bad.



Most of that was probably just a rant
not sure...if it was my bad..it's
2:24am..night.

I dont think I dislike ricers as much as
I dislike the people that form opinons on
the cars them selves based on the shit
ricers do to them, those people are fags.

You know it always crack me up when people get worked up over "rice" and/or someone ricing their brand. What is rice? There is no clear definition! And who really cares if some schmo wants to "rice out a 240 none of us own any rights to the name. If a guy wants do something let him.

Anyhow for the most part the 240's Ive seen a pretty tastefull. These ricers are going to emulate what they see. Ane what they see is really pretty cool if you ask me.

One other thought many 240 enthusiasts seemingly drool over the jap. tuner cars. A couple of pink ones come to my mind, while many people love them that color screams rice to me. Just my opinion though.

but, Mr7, wouldn't it be cool if you were the tasteful tuner in that two s13 town, and everyone thought shit about your car, and then you SPANKED them in a race?

it's not about "rice" ... it's all about style :)

:werd:

As far as that goes, I'd rather people not judge my car by what some numb nutz did to his in the first place.

it's not about "rice" ... it's all about style :)

exactly :) not my style but well done. I'll never tell someone whose put there heart and soul into something that it sucks. If they like it cool even if its not my style. To me the term rice means it about time to eat nothing more.

i happen to know there are many riced 240sxes in houston.

but then again, your a ricer ripple-boy, i bet if you saw an s13 with altezzas and 20 inch sprewells, you wouldnt think its rice.
How do you know?? I've seen nice fast 240's,you talk all this shit like if you know h-town...Have you even been here?? You can catch me in the nawf west,if you want me to show you some real 240's homeboah..

again your trash talking for no reason, and h-town? are you gay? and nawf west? what is that? and is homeboah the knew spelling or something? and I thought homeboys were your friends not someone you trash talk, but maybe if you spell it homeboah it means something different...

you guys should quit your worrying and crying, it's not going to do any good. People are going to do what they want to do. I fix my car to whatever taste suites me, and I could give a flying f#ck what anyone thought.

240s are no longer being made, and the remainder of them are dying out everyday as this drift thing gets more and more popular. I've already seen two sent to the junkyard. 240s will never be everywhere as Civics and Integras are. So cherish what you have, because in a year or two, they will be rare cars.

afaik the 180sx is still produced in japan though

afaik the 180sx is still produced in japan though
ummm nooo... last one was like what....6 years ago????????????????????

?!?!??!!

uhh o_O could be I am totally wrong ... I don't live in japan so I don't know... but I thought I remember I read it somewhere

Hi, there i´m new here, i´m From Portugal , and just bought a 95' 240sx with stock SR20DET, its acctually called 200sx here :)
no mods done yet, just the HKS mushroom foam filter :) (on the same day i bought the car)
i also had (about 3 yrs ago) a CA18DET (stock) , 90' 240sx ( also called 200SX HERE lololol )

Moving on, the reason im posting here, is as a previous owner of a Honda, i think that mostly the civics are riced out, alltough some intregas and prelude too, and the aftermarket park keeps extending for those cars. i think thats acctually a good thing ( in a weird kind of way)
because you can buy those aftermarket parts, cheaper and faster then you would before.
for example i go to a tuner shop , to buy a C.A.I , for the 240sx
i have to order, and wait . if it was for a civic, i would only have to choose which to take, immediatly.
of course the other side of the medal sucks, like having to see those shitty bodykits, those vtec stickers , gay altezzas , etc... :icon16:

i do have a picture of a NON RICE HONDA , actually was my Prelude, running @ Estoril Track in Portugal
