View Full Version : Not everyone who owns a 240 is a drifter

I was looking through another forum...like I said...looking, and it seems that the 240 is ALWAYS associated with drifting. Most people do not realize that the 240 is just an all around good car...it may not have a lot under the hood, but it makes up for it in its suspension setup. I had one way back before drifting was "cool" and I used to out corner lots of cars on a windy road. Straights, I would get reamed, but I always made up on the curves. I think that drifting is ok and all, but I have always been a fan of out manuvering someone on a winding stretch or runing the 1/4 mile. Besides, drifting just ruins a good set of tires. I have nothing against drifting, I just don't choose to do it, and I own a RWD turbo Nissan.

Associating 240's with drifting is like associating Honda Civics who's owner think that with an I/H/E they can run 12 sec 1/4's.

If you have a ligitimately fast Honda, Mitsu...or what ever...right on...just don't people are a drifter just because they own a 240. Thanks...

I own a 240sx and my mods inside the hood is mainly for street. To much $$$ for drifting. Gotta buy tires, suspension setup, LSD, brakes...etc...etc...but someday though, I will drift at Dday.

With a C33 Laurel its obvious you dont live in the states lol ...

RB20DET isnt it ?

I would really like a A31 Cefrio with an SR20 but I digress .

Not everyone drifts with a 240 either .. I have an FC3S lol

Yes, my C33 has the RB20DET. The A31 with the SR is a good set up for racing. I have seen that a lot in those cars. I have also see the SR swapped into the C33's also.

this really isnt the correct forum for this kinda stuff. perhaps free-for-all or general car chat would work better...
