what you do to your car is entirely your decision in the long run, but my main argument is that the 240SX was made to DRIVE, so why "waste" (in my eyes at least) one example of 240SX by turning it into a show-car when you can easily do that to a Civic or some other econo-box that wasn't made to drive? sitting a 240SX on a car-show floor is like sitting a lawnmower in your living room as a conversation piece. it's not doing what it was made for, so what's the point?

Well my point... as with the G35, why not have both style and speed since its possible (of course speed first :P)? I personally prefer the Veilside over the Pignose, but hey, some people prefer the Pignose over Strawberry face! *one member of socal240sx converted to Strawberry, then back to Pig... * Other good kits are the URAS styles (check raretrick), but some people think it makes the car look too camaro-ish --its all SUBJECTIVE so yeah, do what you want!

Annnyway, don't the kits have aerodynamic properties to them? If not that... the big ass guppy mouth should help the FMIC pretty well? And the fixed headlights save you on weight too don't they...

I don't think any aftermarket bumper has aerodynamic testing done to it that can compare to the stock one. These cars are wind tunneled and all sorts of things... They are functional and do work. People just throw them away for junk cause they are "stock"

I think the 240sx Coupe DOHC, in black, no body mods, GUNMETAL Kosei 1's is one of the best looking 240's I've ever seen. Just something about the Coupe, it doesn't really need a bunch of gaudy shit. People like the Type X Tailights and spoiler for the 180sx not too mention the aftermarket, I see hatchbacks modified A LOT more then coupes, and most modified coupes just have a stock paneled silvia front end....

Black 92 Coupe
Gunmetal Kosei's
Lowered about 2"

DAMN SEXY

body kit = gay (especially on a 240sx)
custom paint? like racing stripes and decals on the side? GAY
skyline engine...which one? rb20, rb25, rb30 hybrid, or rb26? to just say skyline engine sounds like a bandwagon jumper...it would be like saying "anything jdm" or "some jdm engine swap"...each of those engines is very different

there are two types of s14 kouki and zenki...the rest you will have to figure out on your own...

i dont know you and i dont claim to know you, but i think you might be better off with an eclipse or some other sport compact since they arent as rare and usually look better with a body kit and take better to the mods you want to do...

civic, prelude, accord, integra, cr-x, eclipse, 3000gt, maxima, celica, talon, mx-6, avenger, etc would all be cars youll enjoy i bet...

dude you said all that was gay!?...please refer to your picture at the bottom...its got a gay bodykit, a gay custom paint w/stickers all over it and its not even stripes...and i bet ya it got a gay sr20 motor in it too...
anyways...to the one who started this thread...if you get a s14 put a rb26det in it if you goin to drag it...or sr20det if ya wanna drift it...if you get a bodykit...get somethin that dont kill the looks of the car something clean lookin...headlight conversion is coo if you have a s13 on that one is coo...but that vader bumper gotta go...

aight...peace...
ika...
p.s. yalls do kinda act like a bunch of asses...

agreed

btw, look in my sig... doesn't it look sweet as hell just like it is?

[spitz7985]

rx-8s are sweet cars, car mag. test drivers say better then the rx-7 (which i believe). obviously they are not near as good looking, and that honda-torque RENESIS motor isn't the greatest, but the cars handle like a dream, so they say.

btw, they are nowhere near as fast as a 350z.

There's a reason that car is in my sig...and its not because of how it looks...if you dont understand that... I can't explain it to you.

And for a street car...a body kit on an S14 is stupid IMO...custom paint? yeah it is stupid...unless it's a solid color and a good color (note: lime green is not a good color for a street car)...

"if you get a s14 put a rb26det in it if you goin to drag it...or sr20det if ya wanna drift it" I can't even believe you said that...refer to duy for a 10 second KA powered 240sx...and there are shit loads of 240sx/silvia/200sx drifters using anything from a KA, KA-T, RB25, RB26, and numerous other engines...not just an SR20...

and it's not rb26det...its a twin turbo...TT...

Glad I read the FAQ first, but seriously, damn most of you guys are negative. If the kid likes what he likes, who the hell are we to knock it? That doesn't mean that any of us aren't entitled to our oppinion, but usually, "If you have nothing nice to say, then shut the hell up" as my Dad always said.
