know what im tired of?

[TheLogikal1]

im so sick of people thinking that they can grab an s13 for $2 and get a great deal on an sr20.


everyone thinks s13s are sooo cheap. no one realizes the prices are gettin higher and higher. now we got kids buying ratty s13s with bentup frames and 3 wheels thinking that once they get that job at mcdonalds, theyll have the best drag racer and drifter car.


a 240sx is somewhat of an expensive car. it breaks down alot and it takes money to fix it. once you swap engines, itll take even more money to fix that.


sorry guys, i guess im venting cause im tired of hearing kids say how they can build a silvia under 1 grand.

if i didnt love drifting so much, id be rockin an imprezza 2.5 rs

im tired of newbies that think they know everything and argue with me ( u know who u r)

240's are HARD to maintain, seems liek ive had more downtime than drive time with my hatch

bnut then when u have it, its FUUUNNNN

[VQuick]

That's definitely true. Prices probably started going up at least two years ago, and people still think they can get stuff for next to nothing.

I remember SCC had an article on building a 'Silvia' for $3k. They managed to do it, too. They got a 240SX coupe with a blown motor for $700, then added the SR and the front end conversion...but that was almost two years ago. Good luck trying to do that now.hehe

[stealthj]

lol now its like 3k each

[TheLogikal1]

we should start a buisness. buy as many shitty ass 240s we can, wait a year or two and sell them for 5 times the price....

kinda like the stock market.

play these ricer fools....

[musicsurfman]

Wanna Buy Mine As The First?

[stealthj]

no no my convert

[90LShatch]

yeah newbies are the worst especially the ones who are practically to young to drive. i may have only been on here for almost a year but never ran my mouth about stuff i didnt know thats why im on the 240 forums cause i just got a datsun 510 and im gonna be working with a 240 motor cant wait to get my ka swap i figure you guys are the ones who now what/how to modify the ka24e to maybe like 225 hp wish i could have forced induction but no such luck with the steering in the way life sucks but yeah newbies need to learn there role and not run their mouths

In Japan they do. The later model and the K's silvia have SR's I almost bought a 91 drift ready Sil80 with a CA for 400 right before I left Island this care was totally set for drift but the previous owner only drifted right and the suspenion was tired and the car always tilted and the clutch was toast. The cool part was that with the clutch totally slipping and smokeing that car would get slideways from a stop or from a normal driving speed!

Amen to that. Back when I was shopping for my 240, I was trying to find an S13 for a killer deal. But I found out that I can get an S14 for about 500$ more, I couldn't believe it. SR20s are just going up in pricing cause of demand, instead of down like I hoped. This is why I'm probably going to buy an RB20 instead, it's about the same price. Impreza 2.5s are teh sex too.

And double amen to that. The first day of driving around, I made the mistake of driving it in the very infrequent california rain. The lady before me had a custom CAI and was dumb enough to cut the fenderwall "for more airlflow." So the first puddle I hit, I of course hydrolocked it and bent 2 rods. Not even driveable now. It was fun while it lasted though, that's for sure.

[Soyo]

how can you get them that cheap? whats wrong with them to make them so cheap? get me one, I'll pay 500 bucks for it! haha

[SR20DETpower]

why do people call things the sex? sounds kinda gay .just a personal observation though

yeah those old 2 door 2.5 RS's are pretty COOL.
