Live in Gulf Breeze, not a rich kid. Sold my miata looking for a cheapo 240 in the area dont know if I want to Turbo a KA or SR then turbo down the road. Basically if I find some drifters I'll swap otherwise I dont know.

My GF has lots of family and is from Mobile so i go there a lot. You cant have missed my miata it was a total rice job body kit, exhaust, intake. white w/ black top. Sold it b/c I decided to learn about cars and build a performance machine.

No I dont anywhere in GB to drift want to find some 5 flags just added a road course so they might allow drift soon as far as public streets you know GB cops got nothing better to do than pull people over. I go to U dub starting next month

i love smoking rich kids wit my 240 its great

espcially because there are a good number of them rich kids here that think they're the shiet just cuz mommy and daddy got them a brand spanking new car...(too many kinds to list and plus i dont feel like thinking about it)

i love it when at the next light you look over and they are all pisssed like why did i get this slow POS, its funny alot of the better racers i know are broke not some rich kid that has nothing better to spend on

hey midnight, there are 2 240's around my town, winter haven, near lakeland and orlando, that have sr20 swaps, my mechanic has, i believe a 96 240 with the sr, and another guy has a 1990 240, but i dont konw him, i just got my 240 so it's stock, and my good friend has a 96 too, we should all meet up some time because we go to orlando quite often.

I am extremely down with that. What is a good place that isn't too far for us? Pensacola is about a 2-3 hour drive for me. I know that around my area, we have so many roads with pre-marked quarters and plenty of drift roads. If we can decide on a place, then I would go for sure just to meet the 240 god (Jspec) in person.lol

J SPEC SilEighty
08-04-2004, 02:16 AM
lol yeah I'd definately be down for a meet sometime.

Name the place. Just wait until I can pack some heat.lol No whenever is fine. I will call into work for a 240 meet.

lmao

Haha. I don't weigh much so it doesn't take much to get me done anyways. After a few shots of everclear (190 proof) I'm gone. If you guys haven't tried absinth before, then oh man you're in for a treat... Totally different feeling than being drunk http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/icons/icon14.gif

Ok, I think we're a little off topic maybe? oh well whatever.

Haven't been on in awhile I had to go to Philadelphia to help my dad move all his shit into a new apartment. It would be great to all get together for some fun but I am carless right now. cant find that perfect 240 yet. had one on ebay that was in mobile,AL. non running, minor body damage, went for 320 bucks but got outbid in the last 20 secs. should have bid more myself. I am not gonna live on campus, I still liven with the rents until I go off to UF. 30 min drive. dont know my schedule yet either. that is next on the things to do list that never get done. 5 flags speedway is out on I-10 like 20 mins west of pcola.(I think) Never gone there yet no car worth it. I know it has an oval and a new street coarse. off to work now cya. cant wait to get myself a 240 Know any yards that might have one please tell.

08-04-2004, 08:43 PM
sorry guys but we dont get the 19o proof everclear in florida we getthe weakass version of everclear i dont know why but they just dont sell it here. that is badass i didnt know we had a street course close by. ill be all for goin balls to the wall on a course after i get some suspension work done. saki is a badass kind of drunk feeling those japs sure do know how to make good cars(240's, 180's silvias skylines) and alcohol (saki) lets we need to decide on a place and time to meet up and see what each others cars are made of . im kinda stoke that the "god" j spec is comin to my school i always wished someone important would come to my school. j spec first weekend before school starts remember the party me and my friends got the alcohol covered ur in charge of rounding up freshman girls from martin hall

I'm down with some drinkin. I prefer the puerto rican rum myself, but some 151 will do the trick. I want to try this absinth J spec. We should do like a Players run, but in Florida. Like from Gainsville raceway to Pensacola.

sidewayzS13
08-05-2004, 02:13 AM
a run from gainseville sounds fun. yea bring some absinth j spec i wanna see what this shit is about. yea fanatic 151 is puerto rican rum im pretty sure its just strong as shit. guys we need to hit up this 5 flags place and see what its about miata do u know the good nights to goto this place?

When u said there isnt really any good shops out there i just wanted to let you know i used to live back in ft walton beach and they got a pretty straight shop called MPHautomod and I was told by some friends they do really good work. you might wanna check them out if you havent already

sidewayzS13
08-05-2004, 07:45 PM
MPH blows i hate those guys ive done buisness w/ them on a few occasions and they can lick my ballsac they ordered me some headlight bulbs for my s13 headlights and they didnt actually put my order in for 2 months they kept bullshitty me w/ BS reasons why they werent there and finally 2 months later they told me they just ordered them. there is a fairly new shop in fortwalton called triple seven performance and ive heard very good things about them and ive seen some stuff there paint and body guy has done and he does sic work. and i have heard good things about how they run there buisness they seem very straight forward and dont BS you. but i do want everyone on the internet to know how much i despise MPH

nissanfanatic
08-05-2004, 11:01 PM
I don't really trust shops too much. I can pretty much do any mechanical work on my car. The only thing I would ever go to a shop for would be to have computer work done. I don't have the money for the software for that shit. If you have any questions, J spec is the guy to ask. He has helped me plenty of times.

sidewayzS13
08-06-2004, 02:47 AM
yea ill be goin to school w/ j spec so im sure he will be able to help me out anytime hopefully i dont know enough about engines to do most work on my own. i wish i could. but i would like to reiterate that MPHautomod sucks serious ass when it come to customer satisfaction and gettin shit done maybe they should get a education a learn to run a buisness then come back and try again cause they blowim sorry about my MPH rants but i have wanted to blow off steam about these guys for a while and now i finally have the perfect place and opportunity to do so.

Ft. Lauderdale

Be prepared to see Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, Aston Martins, etc... on the daily. Some parts of Ft. Lauderdale are pretty ritzy. Definately a sick place to live. Hopefully the art institute thing comes through for you. BTW, what are you going to be studying there?

TheLogikal1
08-07-2004, 05:40 PM
damn, im guessing its damn expensive to live there huh?

well ill be taking culinary arts...i got in a.i. of l.a. and the school in chicago...but man i need to move somewhere with year-round warmth...

sidewayzS13
08-07-2004, 07:45 PM
fort lauderdale is a hell of a drive from the panhandle. but yea that place is money. shorty where in fortwalton did u live? and did u ever deal w/ MPH? ill be back in school in pensacola in like 2 weeks but its only a hour drive a hour is nothing to go out w/ some fellow 240 owners to kick some honda and mustang ass. i would love to see a mustang think hes the shit and get blown away by like 3 or 4 240's at once hha athat would be sick

sidewayzS13

08-08-2004, 09:37 AM
im not too sure actually. i came back to lake city recently to start college but ill be going back soon. yeah, i talked to the guys up at MPH a few times. i cant remember the guys name, but he sold his 97 kouki and i almost died, but ive got one now so its all good. my springs come in tomorrow, yeah. i am getting the manual swap next so it shouldnt be long.

I live in palm beach gardens which is like 40 miles north of Ft Lauderdale airport Logikal.. I might be getting myself a 240sx or something sport next...since I quit my job lollololol plans have somewhat changed. I think I might just flip some burgers at Wendy's and get me a budget mobile s13.

I'll be down for anything in the SE usa area... I like to drive and travel out of my shithole city.
