    Where is this creativity you speak of from the Honda boys? I see LHD drive cars that look like they drove off the showroom in a dealership in Japan...

    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

    I love how you bash my E30 when it gets so many compliments your car never gets. My car is clean, purpose built, and looks good. Your car is shit, shit, and not even built for shit.

    Yeah, i will be sure to hit you up, when i get a new phone, and when my mom is out of the hospital. 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...

    The engine? 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.

    LMFAO at that VW WTF.

    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?

    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... STOCK(crx/civics) they are slow as balls, but some work and then you learn how to appreciate it.

    A CRX SI is faster then a 240 stock lol, even a CRX with the D series with bolt ons and a few extras can beat a stock SR 240.

    im not going to win this battle. we have two completely different views. i like drifting. you could care less for it. im not into road courses. not realy my thing. does it take skill yes. but my car is not set up for that. it completely set up for the total opposite. im trying to break traction and your trying to keep it. its a on going battle that neither of us are going to win so im stepping back and saying good luck with whatever your doing. i hope it works out with you. and good night.

    "trends" in general...

    I LOVE 240s but HATE to see what has been done to them...

    I didn't vote because there was no option for "shit hanging from the back of your car"

    The stupid camber trend is just that...

    edit:dunno if it was already said...but there..lol

    I got a nasty looking 240 with an sr. They are the worlds best drift car and you expect people not to drift them. They are cheap to maintain and make fast. Just like mustangs.

    Look at my 240. It has rear quarter panel damage just like a majority of 240s.

    lol...offended buddy?

    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...

    again...didn't wanna offend, but if you/your car fall into this category, then...

    cool to know my opinion matters...lol

    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.

    All groups have a handful of people with bad taste and gay style. But they also have some people who know how to make a car look good without unnecessary gay trends.

    i think i would have to say, Honda & Nissan, every car looks the same, the only thing different is the owner.. same swaps, same wheels, same everything, they have nothing new, or new ideas for there own cars, and they smir shit on there cars and call themselves different, when in fact they just copied someone else.

    one thing that kills me on 240sx is sexy pants shit on the side... yes it has a meaning but most others put it on not to support it. but to make a fuckin joke out of it hoping others will laugh imo any thing like that (breast can.) or any type of life threating thing like that shouldnt be a fad in hopes others think you are coool fuckin faggots.

    Yours I would called lowered I am fine with a lowered car i have had a few in my day. I am fine with lowered as long as it still rides decent and can clear a small speed bump! I just cant stand how its become a limbo contest with honda kids! It looks so stupid to me watching one drive and bounce all over the highway that looks like a bagged mini truck trying to lay frame!
