Do you think 240's are over-rated?

[Mafiakiller]

tell me what you think

[chomedrifter]

Firts give us your input why you think they are overrated.

[Mafiakiller]

I see too many of them.

[Lookin2GoFA$T]

that makes them no good for drift? maybe that's a plus considering how many crashes happen.

[BtZ..AcCord]

i see alot of civics,but i dont think there over rated

[chomedrifter]

Seeing to much of something makes them overrated wierd.

[jonBODON]

I see too many of them.
i see too many vagina's, but they arnt over rated ;)

[Jonas]

the only thing that makes a car over rated is not the car itself, it's the GROUP of people that drive them or the person that drives that car. is what makes the car over rated.

does that answer your question.

[Mafiakiller]

lol good one jonBODON.....umm yeah it did Jonas.......i mean the only reason why i posted this is because my friend 240's ALWAYS break down...but he wont give up on them lol.

[Lookin2GoFA$T]

he's probably a jackass, like yourself.

+elleventy bajillion to what jonBODON said

[oASHo]

to be honest, i dont think 240s are overrated. its the amount of people who buy s13 hachis who have multiple colors and there car, and buy it just to call themselfs drifters. now on the other hand, the reason i dont think there overrated is becuase the rarity of nice, clean cut, coupes and koukis that are overall show cars that can back it up with power.

lol couldnt of found a better way to secribe the situation.

Did anyone ever stop to think that just becuase a new age group of kids started to like them , people went back in time and upped the production numbers? the amount made in 1989 was not upped becuase kids in 07 wanted to try n make cheap drift cars. So no there not over' rated , you just recognize them more now of days then other cars , most likely becuase of a fart can or a story of someone hitting a pole attempting to slide.

[Silvia_San]

because no s chassis will ever have the badassness factor a 4 door or corolla has while drifting.

ay thats not true. but by far a modded cressida is my fav. (cheaper drift machine)

[Silvia_San]

it is true......it's science.

[chomedrifter]

Can't go up against science.

[HellofaPrzeFghtr]

I saw this kid with a red 240, white hood, white roof, and white hatch.... His reason is "it is mad tyte drifter two tone and is gona look sick with my 20s"

[sponsored]

thats better than what i heard yesterday getn lunch.

setting- raining at mcdonalds.

two kids walk in and speak of drifting.

1st kid
" your cars perfect for drifting"

2nd kid
"lets go after this in the rain"

i jump in the convo and said

" cool stuff ,what do you drive"

response

"focus zx4"

i quickly tried to enjoy the taste of my fries to not have room in my mouth to say what i was thinking.


sorry tad bit off topic let me make a quick corrolation.

atleast 240's are overrated in the drift world than "ZX4's" lmao

[4wheeldriftS13]

wish i wouldve been there: I'd get him to go out. I'd be fun to watch a Zx4 understeer into a curb

[4wheeldriftS13]

Can't go up against science.

what's this "Drunken sliding"? is that an inside crew? prehaps a mistake done on one another when you were drunk :lol: :lol: jk lol

[chomedrifter]

Its a legend that when I am drunk i go out and drift the many mountains of Florida but I am not very aware of what i did the night before.


















Yea its an inside crew made on a very boring night.

[blue_eclipse93]

Because half the groups now that have 240's think their so awesome because they have them.

"I have a 240 so I must know how to drift"

[jtmroczk]

hmmm...

1) RWD
2) manual trans available
3) decent weight and distribution of it
4) very capable independent suspension
5) availability of replacement parts
6) large aftermarket support
7) large variety of engine swaps

stack that up against anything else with a KBB south of $2500 and see what you get.

if people weren't so self conscious in Miatas or scared of rotaries then you would see a hell of lot more hopped up MX-5s and FCs running around.

yeah dude, now that more and more people are buying the s-chassis it really makes me like driving the girls miata with the sticking wheels out the side action. It gets looks like WHOAH nice offset! but it needs a little more pep, making me miss the SR

[Silvia_San]

s chassis ftl!

so since your buddys car is broke down all the time because he does burnouts everywhere and keeps it in high 3rd gear all around town revving the shit out of it every chance he gets makes 240s over rated.

[Jus Skott]

imho 240 are nothing near over rated. the options are pretty good. auto x, drag drift and someone is crazy enuff "ralli" top that w/ the upgrades you can pull from other nissans and infini's make sit a perfect car. if on a budget.

how ever on the flip to that are the few ppl that own 240's that assume they can drift because they own one.

btw

agreed vagina FTW!

[burgy240]

Overratted NO!
Trendy......YES and that parts sucks when you see 240 pepz and they think they are cool because of it. I've had my 240's for 10 years now and I've seen all sorts. I liked it better when there were three or four of us only and everyone else was messing with Honda's.

Oh, and I wish I could drift really well, but after ten years, I'm still not that good at it. I wish the little kiddies would realize that they AREN'T either!

finally, Pussy FTW!

your going to the autocross in brooksville?

[doodoobrown69]

Autocross Ftw
Vag Ftw
S Chassis Ftw

people who think they can drift, can or cant whatever, doesn't effect me, accept maybe for making cops aware of it, and hate it

all i know is that erry thursday thing is sic(Desoto SW? ), and thnks to the people who organized it!

DESOTO FTW. ill be there this sat.

to drift?

[mranlet]

but by far a modded cressida is my fav. (cheaper drift machine)

That's funny. Cressidas are not cheap to build.

S13s are, if anything, underrated. Their parts abundance is depleeting rapidly as they become more and more popular. Regardless, they're a boring car IMHO.

Of course, who cares what I say - I'm just "that guy with the RWD Legacy"

no never said cheap to build. but by far one of the cheapest to bbuy. i see them on craigslist in the low hundreds across florida all the time.

who write's "poop" on people's tire's. :oops:

[mranlet]

^ right. If you want a cheap drift car, buy a $60 Chevette ;)

dont drift so ill pass.

[DriftingDJ]

Of course, who cares what I say - I'm just "that guy with the RWD Legacy that has more 240 parts installed than Legacy parts. "

Fixed. :D

I think 240's are over rated.

[orochinoyamato]

Some truck did a hit-and-run on my FD, and if it turns out to be totalled one of the replacement cars I've been thinking about is a 240sx with a sr20det swap, so I can still move fast and turn corners, but not have a monthly payment. Is it a good idea, in general? And the only drifting I've done is breaking the rear wheels loose and yelling "wheeeee!" in u-turns. Is it de riguer to learn drifting if one drives a 240sx? Where do I sign up for the beginner's class? How much should I set aside each month for new drivetrain components and tires?

[4wheeldriftS13]

who write's "poop" on people's tire's. :oops:
and when people gets their car dyno'd replaces "drifting" in "I <3 Drifting" with Gay men. rotflmao. That made me :lol:

Mike's Ambulance is Bad to the bone.. :mullet:

[nisstoy]

I see too many of them.

Its just the fact that you know about 240's and ka's and sr's and what people are doing with them thats why you see a lot of them on the road.
Now if you didnt know about 240's and you drove a ford escort every day you wont even notice the 240's but you will notice that there is a lot of ford escorts on the road. I know people that drive civics that dont even know what a 240 is but as soon as another civic passes by they point at it and say did you see that civic and I reply no but I did see that 240 that passed the other way.

shit they are cheap to buy anywhere. just have to look at teh condition of it before you buy it. as i see cheep 240s up here in ehh condition. then i see 240s that ppl pay 1k-2k for and have chassis rust all over. luckily my 400.00 pos was straight and no rust
