Which trend is the worst?

[On_Her_Face]

Honda guys vs. Dubbin' Guys.

Who takes creativity too far? I like somethings both groups do, just wanting to know opinions.

[HachiDori]

Honda guys,

well. Shit.

They are about equal, except dubbin is just pointless

[FTMFL]

Lol my bad.

[Humphrizzle]

dubs are nice, hondas can be both extremely nice or extremely horrid.


240sx is just hey my car's sr20'd and primered.. let's go drifting because i watched a drift race on speedvision the other day.

[HypnoToad]

hondas,cause they copy the dubs......lol

[On_Her_Face]

Rusted hoods anybody?

[40th GT]

In all honesty they all have potential.

There should be an option for VIP and/or sidewall stretching.

damn i was bout to buy a 240...now im nervous im gonna get flamed for it...I was either gonna send it to turbo Dave to do a 2jz swap or put a sbc 350 in it

Why would you care lol. If that's your thing then go for it.
A 240 w/ either of those engines would be sick IMO.

Do what you want, don't let the hate stop you. Not all 240s, VW, and/or Hondas suck. Just some of the dumb trends...

Like hanging charms from 240s. In all honesty I think I don't like the VW trends. Some look good though with crosshairs, lowered, BBS wheels. A lot stuff I can't stand.

thats what i was thinking but i just didnt want to be put in that JDM drifting fanboy crowd... i just figured since they were light chassis's it would be a good route for the plans that i have in mind

[alpine_aw11]

Just make it nice, people hate on 240s that are put together in shitty ways. Theres nothing wrong with having 240, but there is something wrong with being a fag. The two just go hand in hand pretty often it seems.

I would have to vote Honda, I like them but as hypno said they did steal the styling from VW.

[BB1_Luda]

[dimsumboy]

best advice... buy whatever car makes you happy and do whatever mods you like to it. it's your car, so it's your call. best of luck on the upcoming project.

Every 240sx has drift charms, battle scars, stupid ass stickers on it, girlie tight jeans on the owner, ghey ass dildo ass stuffin shift knobs, and a cracked dash, oh and a odometer that doesn't work.

Tell me that trend isn't fucking stupid.

i'm a 240 owner, so let me set the record straight:

not "Every" 240 owner wants to drift, i don't and have no interest in it at all.
i have no fucking clue what a "drift charm" is, but i have heard of lucky charms, which is a breakfast cereal.
my car is in need of a paint job, but that's normal considering it's still the original paint from 1995. no body damage from drifting since i don't do it, so no "battle scars".
the only stickers that might end up on my car will be 2 small ones to rep the shop doing the work on my car.
i'm way too fat to fit into "girlie tight jeans" and even if i tried it, they'd rip so i'm not going there.
i have no clue what "ghey ass dildo ass stuffin shift knobs" look like, but i assure you, my shift knob does not look like a dildo. if it did, i don't think any girl or guy in there right mind would want it in them.
luckily my dash is not cracked, for how long who knows.
my odometer is working.

thank you for putting "every" 240 owner in your generalization about what you think "every" 240 owner is like. did you just smell something? it's sarcasm. :taun:

i have a 240,i dont drift,i dont have a cracked dash, straight body, no stickers,and i have stock shift knob

and everything works,even down to the a/c.

i bought it cause i liked the look of car and being a rwd light coupe....gonna try and do a 302/T5 swap....dont know much bout nissan stuff.

[bdydrpdmazda]

k this might be a stupid q. but all these people that stretch the tires on the rims, is that bcause they want that specific look..or is it bcause no tire company makes a tire that wide?
they do it to keep down on some of the fender roll, when you stretch the tire it gives you just a little bit more room to put a wider tire on a car vith a very aggressive stance and flush wheels. iIts not just for looks, in some cases it actually serves a purpose too.

[bdydrpdmazda]

I picked hondas though cause I hate them with a passion, I hate everything about them.

[40th GT]

But the VTAK can never lose!!

[Barefoot]

they are all equally as bad.


Its not just for looks, in some cases it actually serves a purpose too.
im calling bullshit on that. this the new rice for 09-10. i dont see a single performance gain coming from having your tires installed wrong.

[On_Her_Face]

Also I do own a Honda now lol. Also what's up with VWs with every panel a different color (on purpose) and honda's having their engine bay painted a different color than the car. Not a fan.

i've never understood the logic in the multicolored vw's, that's been around ever since i started driving in the late 80's, but it may have been around before then. i guess the honda thing with the engine bay might have something to do with it costing less to paint the exterior only than having to paint exterior and remove the engine to paint the bay to match.

No it's not a cheap job with engine bay painted a different color. Like a white car with a teal engine bay??

[40th GT]

No it's not a cheap job with engine bay painted a different color. Like a white car with a teal engine bay??
That most likely means the car was teal from the factory but the owner decided to paint the exterior white while leaving the 'invisible' panels stock color. (cost savings)
If you check the door jams and the underside of the trunklid, those parts will probably be teal as well.

As for the VWs, apparently some of'em came stock that way.
I'm a Ford guy though so what do I know.

that vdub looks fucking stoopid son

[SampaGuy]

the dub owners are pretty annoying since they think they are incredibly superior to anything japanese. then they put staggered rims on heavy ass fwd cars as if they didnt understeer bad enough when stock.

I just stretched 175s Continentals on a 7.5 inch rim...that junk was crazy scary. I can't even begin to think of the stress side walls get with these mad stretches. Told the dude this aint right...he promptly ignored and said everyone else was doing it.

:no:

My vote...stretch trend. But VWs get it on the poll.

[dimsumboy]

you should have asked him if everyone else was sucking cock, would he do it too? if his answer is yes, put him to work down on ponce and rake in the money. :crazy:

[nreggie454]

Yup. VW came out with the harlequin GTI, which is apparently pretty rare nowadays.

I am tired of all of these self-loathing threads. This website is called importatlanta, but all I ever see is people hating on the fact that we drive various imports. People need to stop hating on one another's cars and try to be positive. Why all of the hate for one another?

[LongLiveH2b]

i love 240's but i dont like the way ppl have missmatching colors and body kits on them, looks ricey to me....240's are nice especially when they have the silvia frontends..painted correctly, silvia parts, badges, etc.

[NoWAyItZTOMmY]

the stretch on the vdub serves a purpose. to be able to slam the car on some wide ass rims without major scrubbing. it might be to the extreme but every bit of clearance count. if it had the regular sized tire, it wouldnt be that low

[jhadleyh]

doesn't really serve a purpose, more along the lines of wanting to look some way but i would be scared to get on the highway on tires that are stretched that hardcore

VW are not my cup of tea but they arnt played out either. 240 is taken a little too far by people who just want to be part of the drift scene. Honda....just walk outside and you see at least a dozen! Everybody wants one cause they are easy to modify and possibilites are endless and the most common one is a civic which are too played out and I completely overlook them for the most!

it's the same as when the first of that movie series came out, within a month the population of modified civics multiplied like a horde of rabbits on a fuckfest after eating a lifetime supply of viagra.
basically, if a real popular movie had modified geo metros, you'd see them rise from the grave too. damn, i just gave away my next project, oh well. anyway, the younger generation tries so hard to emulate the things that they see in movies, music videos, and such.... what can you do?

If I don't like your car and you ask me about it or post pictures I will tell you. If I like it then I like it.

Taking things to far, in my opinion, can both ways. Honda owners and VW owners have alittle bit of their own taste and also sorta copy other trends. The whole VW thing with rusting their cars, is fucking stupid. I never, in my life, would spend such a great deal of money on something to purposly rust something. Honda owners usually just copy other trends but, every once in a blue moon, they do something that 99% of people think is cool but in reality is completely dumb. Such as a car with 20+ stickers, etc.


240's, done right, are FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

[boostleak]

... All "trends" are retarded. People need to learn to be an Individual again...

I drift for my own personal reasons not because its "cool".

[FriskyWalrus]

id say the honda and VW guys have the worst trend. alot of honda guys do the same thing. add a lip on it, slam it to no extent and have a B series. it rather gets tiring of seeing the same thing on a different car all the time. and the VW guys are just kinda stupid. i mean stretching is fine, but stretching that much, is way beyond fucked up. now i will admit, the 240 guys have a bad trend too with alot of kids who get them bone stock with open diffs and think they can drift or immediately go weld their diff. and i will admit alot of them are primered and what not. but what i do see in 240s is the fact that there are some out there who arent afraid to do what others think. who actually put body kits on their car because its what they want. and the ones that actually do have body kits and are painted, are usually done well and are complete in a sense. maybe not to the owner, but to me, and possibly you, it looks complete and you couldnt think of another thing to do. just my opinion on this

[jhadleyh]

Long ass post son....

Well I wasn't going to post but I clicked the wrong box. I have to say that the VW guys that have to fit into all the trends that come and go are really bad about it. Most of the things you see done on Hondas now have all been done before with VW fanatics.

Custom headliners, overly wide wheels, tons of stickers, wire tucks, and lowering a car to the point where it is incredibly detrimental to the handling (which is what all the Honda kids are doing now) were all done by VW enthusiasts first.

I love VWs. Just not the VW owners who follow these stupid trends.

[DeeAOne]

i didnt vote, but i say just do what you want. all this trend stuff is dumb. i used to be a honda nutswinger and tried to do whatever was cool, but i honestly just got sick of it. i wanted something totally off the wall. now my car might have the subtle mods that "JDM" people love but it fits me. for example, i have stickers, a lot of them. lol

maybe thats rice or whatever but if you the one driving then who cares right?

and it might not be the prettiest or fastest on the site by any means, but i can go to the varsity meet and say i have the only one there. can you do that? :goodjob:

[dimsumboy]

... All "trends" are retarded. People need to learn to be an Individual again...

I drift for my own personal reasons not because its "cool".


you've words have inspired me. i was afraid people would laugh at me for doing the next mod on my car, but your words of wisdom have helped me to find the courage to do it... i will replace my drivers and passenger seats with kohler toilets, if anyone has a problem with it... i fucking dare you to drive behind me and i hope it's on a day when i got the squirts :crazy:

[oldcorolla]

I am not down with any of these "trends". I do have a MILD stretch to the tires on my 81 Corolla but to me its not for looks it is for more of a performance standpoint. When I did it I played around with the fitment of my wheels and tires a little and what I come up with was what I could afford at the time. I'm currently running 14x7 Celica-Supra wheels on my car with 195/60s on them. Its not a crazy stretch like demonstrated above but enough to stiffen up the tallwall enough that the car actually felt a decent in the curves. When I get home I will be converting over to 5x114.3 bolt pattern and running some 17s with lower profile tires on them so it will be done right but with the $$$ available I used the stretching option. that is all.

to me its all about being different and doing what you want! and never let any one stop you just let them hate! :2up:

[whatever210]

my car has battle scars all over it. has the most redic stickers you could imagine on it. no crack dash, interior clean as fuck. no window crack. tach works. i can drift. i love doing it. i love my 240. makes great power for very little money. its a very well balanced car for drifting. it does have a welded diff but any of those that have seen me drift i do my thing. im real sick of people putting down other peoples cars. not everybody can afford a g35 to drift in or a svt cobra to race. or maybe they like the style. i think a lot of us have forgotten why we even build or fix up cars. because we simply love to do it. some are easier than others and thats all thats available to them.

[boostleak]

im real sick of people putting down other peoples cars..
Agreed!


not everybody can afford a g35 to drift in or a svt cobra to race.i think a lot of us have forgotten why we even build or fix up cars. because we simply love to do it. some are easier than others and thats all thats available to them.

then again most that are into building cars don't hold the passion like others. That's something you can't hand out. You wont find many people that understand and know the true value of other cars then of their own, and appreicate others cars for it be a Ferrari to a Cube... That's why we have trends, because others are afraid to do something different.

As, far as people hating 240's that drift, that is more of a ban-wagon, people jump on to feel the comfort of others agreeing with them.

Most other 240's i've seen/talked too/ or that i know that drift, are ass-hats. EX:darren. (sp?) So that has started this "phase" everyone wants to be apart of.

Oh, yeah and most others i've seen drift want to do it to go silly sideways but hold no true value with it. IMO i love know what my car can do in it stock form, and to learn all it. Others are soo into, OMG i have to build this car i just got, not knowing or understanding the car in stock form. Which to me is a problem, now i dont have a wielded diff, but a VLSD isn't anything to brag about. I might get an open diff and wield till i get a clutch type LSD. Its all to have fun. To me its just great to be able to keep control of your car while its "out of control". Anyways, If others would learn to appreciate, other cars other then there own, the "scene"/"game"/"w/e" will return how it once was.

lol if you think he can drift you should see me and david, nhan, matt, todd....lol hes the last person i would think of lol

and i appreciate every car that has been build or work put into it because i myself do all my own work and know how much time effort and money is involved. no matter what car it is or what style or trend it is i always step back and look at all the work thats been put into a car....even these so called ricey cars

THE truth. im pretty sure all the hate comes from honda owners. but remember, ITS IA!!! lol this place is a joke. so are 90% of most forums bro. i really did think that we worked and built our cars because we love to do so. now its just a fucking popularity contest lol. yeah its nice to drive down the road and have people stop and stare, but its gonna end up in your garage at the end of the day. it really only matters if YOU love your car.

You don't even work on your car, you sell it because you can't figure out how to swap a transmission.

Your 240 doesn't have scars or anything, it's a bucket of rice with not one good item on it. You can't even drift.

THE POST ABOVE ME, THAT IS THE WORST TREND EVER, THE RICERS WHO ACT ALL BAD ASS AND JUST HARD PARK THEIR SHIT BOXES.

[whatever210]

yes their are a lot of people who get the 240 and think automatically that they can drift when they get a 240. when i was first learning it was frustating like hell trying to get the concept down. its a lot diffrenent then doing donuts in first gear. when you actually have to do it at speed thats when it becomes tricky. but everyone has to start somewhere. i didnt orig get my car for drifting. it was going to be more of a drag car but when i started to give it a try to me it was more of a rush then just driving in a straight line. not hating on drag racers cause i still like racing to just it was diffrenent. and the more i did it, the more obsessed i came with it. i took a hold of it then took off from there.

I voted for Honda just because I think most Honda's are kinda pointless to mod or put any money into. Can put new shoes on it, but a 15 year old Civic is still a 15 year old Civic...


I also dislike all the stupid faddish stickers people are putting on their cars (mostly I see 240's) that just make them look cheap. Not really the ones advertising mods they have, ones with dumb phrases that are so omg funny :rolleyes:

Congrats on the coil'overs, what brand are you going with? I thinking about welding my VLSD soon, or just getting an open diff then weld... I'm sick and tired of its, "semi-diff" type ways... Before i even think of welding my diff, i wonder how bad it would effect it as in daily driving?

EDIT: oh and i need my sway bars. I need to get out of this stock suspension. Too much body roll, has understeer, lots snap-steer... ahh, i could just keep going...:cry:

The engine? :screwy: Really though 240's aren't that great of a drifting platform, peope just use them because they are cheap, sure when highly built they can be good, but stock they aren't shit, with a SR and LSD they aren't shit, basic coilovers, etc. None means shit.

not not when you start comparing it to formula d cars no. yes i only realy care for the motor. ive never cared to much for looks. thats always last. performace first. my sr20 with 400hp welded diff and coilovers feel pretty damn good to me and impress everyone that it comes in contact with. i rather drift this car than any other one. maybe a z or g25 but realy the 240 has good steering angle and well balanced car and running 12.3 spining with terrible 60ft like 2.0 on street tires is shitty? trapping at 117 is not shit? bump it up to 20lbs keeping up with 600cc bikes is not worth shit. damn your car must be the fucking shit then. like i said before these are perfect drift cars. thats why they didnt use them in japan or formula d?

LMFAO at that VW WTF. Oh thank God, you said SR... Lucky i have a KA... *runs off thinking he is the drifting gawd*

Anyhow, S13 aren't good drifting on stock setup. The suspension is much more prone to under steer then s14, and have a NASTY snap steer.. Hell i could give you a list of my "handling" faults, but that doesn't it make me love it any less. Sure you have a few problems, but some people like to work from the bottom up, its not like we are starting on a platform with a horrible weight distribution. The car has lots of potentiality, kinda like a civic/crx with a B-swap...:rolleyes: STOCK(crx/civics) they are slow as balls, but some work and then you learn how to appreciate it.

By "what's been done to them", I was referring to how they seem to be "disposable" to some people...who said anything about drifting...ok some people bashed drifting, but not me...I think it's kinda cool when done right...

Just another "trend" to follow til something else comes around...I call these the "fallout kids"...kids who only got into cars in general because of a particular movie series...

Stock 240's arent shit, you are right, but hell a stock e30(M3 doesn't count) is just as bad or worse. E30's are cheap and yes, when built right they can be good. That is why E30's like 240's are a popular entry level car to build for racing. And also when people say 240's handle like shit they should specify which generation b/c I think the 14 handled significantly better.
