Fast and the furious relating to 240's

[Importboom]

I just watched F&F a couple days ago and i noticed that in the movie johnie tran refers to a sr20 motor at the point inthe movie where dom and brian are in trans garage and tran is beating down that old guy for motors. Has anyone else relized that? oh well flaming for this will occur i kno.

my real question: I kbb'd a 95' 240sx and it came between 5k-6.5k depending on the accesroies and i was wondering is that really a fare price? I was on autotrader and i found a 95' black 240 for 3.8k... i am looking into buying a 240 as most of u can figure and i've posted here alot and i was just wondring what you all bought your 240's for and what a fare price for one would be...

Yeah, everyone has noticed that he says it, but, has anyone realized that the 2 cars missing engines are a Civic and a Teg???? HAHAHA Silly writers, SR20s are Nissan engines.

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

^^^yea I noticed that. Did you also realize they were tlaking about putting those engines, into their Hondas, for Race Wars, a drag tournament F&F writers are dumb bastards.
In the first movie, the drag racing scene had 2 Tegs, Eclipse ( ) vs. a damn Rx7, you tell me whose gonna win? And why theh ell is it drag racing in the first place! argh!!!!!!

[240SXSlideStar]

Because...ummm....all street races are drag races!!! (Except for Touge, but that wasn't popular enough when the movie was made.) Also, in the first race, the Asian dude was driving a Civic, not a Teg. And I know everyone has said this a million times, but how do you lose your floor when you push your engine to hard? And how did he get away from the cops when he had fried piston rings and blown welds on his intake manifold?

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

Oh yea your right, that white civic have some fuckin Mustang taillights. wow, thats just........unhumantarity, i had to make a new word for that crap..

Anyways, duh he ran from the cops, Eclipses are invincible!!!!!!!

And oh yea, not all street races are drags, sorta...theres the kinds that envolve having to make turns then theres highway battles, woot

[240SXSlideStar]

Yeah, they had the turns in 2F2F. And how did they get that fucked up Supra chassis all straight and shit? It looked like it had gone through the trash compactor.

[slideways...]

and how do you blow the welds on your intake manifold? and how does shooting a car make the nitrous explode? and how does double-clutching help win a drag race? and why does paul walker suck so bad? and why would anyone be so stupid to make a movie like this in the first place? and how does a car spin out when it tops out?

well....a porrly designed intake manifold with shitty welds maybe from BD would....Actually Nitrous isnt all that flamable....Double Clutching keeps the revs up so when you go to shift you lose no RPM....I dont think he sucks?....because they know theres a bagillion dollars in that market to be made....He doesnt spin out because of Top Out. Im guessing he has a 1/4 mile marked off and in that 1/4 mile stretch he got 145 seeing that its a movie. Im also guessing he hit his brakes and maybe lock them or caught a gravel patch...

we are getting WAY to serious about this

maybe but it would have to REALLY suck....nitrous doesnt explode unless you literally set it on fire with like a plasma torch or something...double clutching doesnt help at all. the point of it is to rev match in cars with no synchros or blown synchros. if you want to keep the revs up, buy a better clutch. as far as i know, there are no cars that the power band is so high that you need to rev between shifts. maybe stock civic dx but you shouldnt be racing that car anyways.......he sucks(i guess its my opinion)....i guess......he spins to make it look cool for the movie. not for any logical reason.

[240SXSlideStar]

Everything in that movie is done to make it entertaining, none of it is logical. (And yes, it was entertaining, anyone who says otherwise needs to lay off the tool attitude.)

OMG PEARL HARBOR WAS BOMBED???????

back on topic, i got my car for $2800 (s13), a friend of mine got his s13 coupe for $1500, and yet another with an s14 in pretty good condition for $3k, so between $3-5k for the zenkis ('95-'96) and prolly $5-7k for the koukis ('97-'98), so $3.8 is not bad if its in good condition

peace
