you know you are a drifter when:
1. People think you are riding on slicks and there's no tire tread left
2. You have a bunch of dents and scrapes on your cars, dubbed "battle scars"
3. You don't drive in the rain because you don't get any traction and keep hydroplaning
4. You have some different colored body panels, due to drift damage needing a fender or a bumper replaced from another used 240
5. You rock initial D while driving
6. People keep asking why your wheels are so tilted from having negative camber
*that's all I can think of right now

best thing ever. sadly, i am guilty of more than 80% of that.
i think that this thread should be a sticky then.
also, i'd like to add:
you've named you car silvia. (i named mine veronica)
you talk to your car and try to convince it not to break down.
you work at a ski resort, but still only drive rear-wheel drive.
domestic car owners say, "well at least you are rear-wheel drive."
i'll post more if i can come up with any more

WOW!! So Damn true!! That's what school is for. Hours to kill while knowing u dont have enough paper in your notebook to write down all the mods and prices of everything u wanna do to your ride. And then after totaling everything up and $20,000 later when you think your done, you remember something else you would want to do and move on to the exterior.

Timing chain rattle ignored...check (its only when its cold...)
engine almost stalling in neutral...check... (have to keep on the gas, its how I learned to heel-toe)
red car with black fender...check...(75 in a 35 twisty too fast?)

A disturbing complete list

i think this was on here before.. but just to make things interesting... (it's not ALL drifting... but hey i still love this one)
you know you own an s13 when.......
10) You spend hours a day on a Nissan board.
11) You feel nostalgic when you see a 280z on the road, in a "younger-brother" kind of way.
25) If you've grown to love pop up headlights.
70) You work at burger king and someone drives up in a 240sx and you give them a free large size drink.
71) Magically the number 240 shows up everywhere in your daily life. (strange isn’t it?)
80) When you see an AE86, you say to your female friends, "That's a nice car," and they look at you like you're a complete idiot.
Well im guilty of many of these and i dont even have a 240 yet lol. The ones i find most true are these ones though. I cant seem to find out why i see the number 240 all the time. Before i liked the S13s and S14s it was just another number...

i know man. I can definantly agree to that. When i was in highschool, i told my friend that i always seem to look at the clock when its 2:40. He's like dude you waaaaay to in to your car, chill out man thats all you ever talk about lol. It would be totally random too, not like i would look at 2:35 and try to look at it at 2:40, thats what he thought. But then we were driving once, in his car, i asked him the time, he said 2:40 not noticing, i said see told you faggot. He was like damn dude that is weird. But i do it alot, its weird. like at work, all our fuse boxes(we have like 10) say 240 volt, im like wtf how random. Im surrounded by 240's!!!!!! THe local radio station has a hoobastank ticket drawing at 2:40!!!!! They specifically say, call in at 2:40. I was going to play the lotto with that god damn number. But the 240 luck wouldnt let you be that lucky......actually it would let you win, but then there would be some mix up to where you actually lost, pure 240 luck.
oh and when i used to have to disconnect my battery, because it drained all the damn time, i once hooked it back up and the clock read 240, even though it was like 11 pm.
that comment is just funny, that it happens to other people.

i know man. I can definantly agree to that. When i was in highschool, i told my friend that i always seem to look at the clock when its 2:40.
The best is when your math teacher asks what the answer to the question is and you say "240" (happened last week, im not kidding either)....thats freaky..

For the antenna, you can take the unit out, open it, clean the whole thing in Varsol (try not the stick the circuit board in, just in case) and then put it backtogether by shoving white grease into it, top the whole thing off with white grase, close it up, put it back in and should go up and down like a charm.

well, in my case....
-You disactivate the antenna so it wont go up and it stays down
-You automatically lock the door when your getting out of the car without knowing it.
- you dont feel like doing a 3 point turn to parallel park your car in your house so you drift into it instead..HEHEHE
- You look at other Nissans and tell your friends which has your engines (Frontier, Xterra, Altima)
BTW this is so totally true, 99% of the list in the beginning applies to me, WEIRD!!!!!!

no offense taken.
Anyway, i was wonderin, is being a ricer looked down upon? and if it is, then what the difference between their cars and ours? I remember reading that people are buying 240s and ricing them out, what does that mean? Is my car considered a ricer car? The noticeable things are mismatched fenders, (a.k.a. battle scars lol) Slicks in the rear, and stock tires in front, muffler, but its isnt a walking billboard either (no stickers or decals). What does that make me then, a drifter?

Ricer: Any car that has a bodykit (unpainted is wost), APC fart can, big ass wing, 5" tach on the dash that's not connected, stock wheels or wheel covers and nothing under the hood.
Drifter: Mismatched wheels (different set front and rear), mismatched body panels or beaten down bodypanels, this ony applies if you have a good engine setup and/or a good suspension setup.

i like to think of a ricer as a person that focuses only on the "show" aspect, and not the "go" part of it. like slide star said, big stupid wings, gay graphics, and chopped springs to slam the car are all part of the ricers domain. the car plays an important part in it too, since neons and civics are inherently gay, they can be riced out very easily, while it takes some effort to rice out a mint car like a 240 or 300z.
stay away from anything that says "invader" or "terminator" on it, these products are morally wrong, and make you a bad person.
lights are also bad, neon lights on the undercarriage dictate your IQ. more lights = lower IQ. windshield washer lights = bad, licence plate lights, exhaust tip lights, interior neon lights = wrong, mmm kay.
mostly ricers are just stupid people that dont know shit about cars, so they do stupid things to their cars because they think they are the shit, when, in fact, they are poop.
just make sure that the things you do to your car have good a reason behind them, and youll be fine.

ricer will also tend to add more shit into his car like subs, body kits, fat wings on there FWD's, and such....
while a drifter will tend to take everything out of there interior to sacrifice wait, take off the stock wing and bondo the holes, and take of body panels every now and then to keep from braking them when drifting...
These are just some of the things ive noticed...
