Just Curious...

the s15 lights, grill and spoiler match the car perfect. everything else needs to be replaced with something else.... ESPECIALLY THE SEATS

the s15 conversion is way too expensive for me parts-wise, so i'm gonna stick with the s13 front, i can piece that together for like $700. i'd still like to do the r32 but not knowing of anyone that can help with it or steer me in the right direction with installation, i'll pass on that as well.

I enjoy driving as well, whether fast or just cruising, and don't know jack about cars. As in my sig, I buy it, pay for the mods, and sell it after I've gotten tired of it. I don't put cheap POS stickers on it, nor do I add weedwacking exhaust systems/tips on it, but I do enjoy being seen in it. The first "sticker" I will ever have on my car (and it'll be the last)is "Silencer" on the back of the '02 Camaro SS I'm getting, and even at that, I haven't decided whether to paint it on the back instead. My definition of a ricer is someone that wants to be fast (spoilers), wants to attract attention to themselves "Look at me! Look at me" (loud subs and exhaust tips), and thinks that they are the $hit (check out my neons and lower/body kits).

Ricers are the people that always rev at the streetlights knowing they don't stand a chance, but rarely ever/never go to the dyno or tracks to race.

My worth...

The seats....? are you being sarcastic (i hope) cuz the orange (maybe not the color) 240 with the s15 front looks hot as hell.

speaking of seats..

red and black in a tan/brown interior? come on bro, thats just rediculous.

this coupe s15 looks fine the way it is, not everyone can make the car 100% amazing.

I really don't care for the wing on the back of the 240sx, I only find they look good on a 180sx,and those seats are a little bothersome.

The guys from Teamtoilet aren't a bunch of rich snobby punks. They're just hard working young professionals. They happen to be of the opinion that form follows function, and if it isn't going to help them on the race track its useless. Most of those guys' cars are now track cars only, and are towed in for each road racing competition. Mike tows his S2000 with his Jeep from the track to his garage, and that's it. Mike is a local, and the other members of Team Toilet hail from the surrounding SW Michigan areas. They are an actual team that concentrates on motorsports, and not showstopping interior designs. So I give Teamtoilet respect.

If you do something to YOUR car, do it for yourself -- just the word TeamToilet says and explains all. All that matters is you're happy with your decisions. Don't ever let anybody take that joy away from you.

Maybe I'm alone but I think that Veilsides are a great improvement on the S13 Fastback. Nothing wrong with having style with performance...

Whatever. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

You know... it'd be nice if we all could learn and understand how cars work but some of us, like myself, don't have neither time, tools, nor resources to extensively go into the mechanics behind an automobile.

Me for example... I love driving, for the sake of driving. Just being on the open road feeling the car hug the pavement. I mean shit, I drive an 84' Maxima and still love to drive. Only recently was I aware about the 240 scene. My cousin, who's 240 I hope to get just sits in his garage most of the year. He told me about the Skyline swap a couple years back but that was before I even had a license. And now that reality is coming closer by the months. I haven't even learned to drive stick but all I can think about is having that car, just from reading about all your great experiences with the handling alone --maybe I'll practice on his Civic DX haha :P... Anyway, I may not have the knowledge to tune and tweak the car on my own, but that's what mechanics and forums are for! I'll gladly shell out the money... and forums give me enough info to make sure I don't get shafted hopefully. Now, with that said, would that make me a ricer? Because I'm a guy that knows dick squat about cars but wants to go all out on a 240, even if I don't know exactly how all the stuff in it works? I certainly hope not. The appreciation is there for those of you who do know, and maybe I'll even be lucky enough to learn how to maintain the car on my own without taking it to a shop, but untill then... I'm just the guy workin hard to have a good time!

:P

The guys from Teamtoilet aren't a bunch of rich snobby punks. Their sense of humor might be a bit abrasive, but they're just hard working young professionals. Over the past couple of years, they've taken their cars from the streets to being track run only. You will never see Mike drive his S2000 around town, but he had a serious street machine in his supercharged Integra Type R like 3~4 years ago that was a street lethal machine. Teamtoilet just happens to be of the opinion that form follows function, and if it isn't going to help them shave precious seconds off their lap times on the road coarse its useless. Most of those guys' cars are now track cars only, and are towed in for each road racing competition. Mike tows his S2000 with his Jeep from the track to his garage, and that's it. Mike is a local, and the other members of Team Toilet hail from the surrounding SW Michigan areas. They are an actual team that concentrates on motorsports, and not showstopping interior designs. So I give Teamtoilet respect for being diehard motorsport enthusiasts.
