Ghetto mighta been the wrong term,but definatly got'a be a fudge packer to ride in that thing lmao jk i assure you and everyone else that im not a fudgepacker. id say 99% of the hate towards imports comes from the die hard chevy guys who get all butt hurt when their 80's pos corvette get its butt handed to it by a 4cylinder (my experience). the way i see it is its not all that impressive to run a quartermile as fast as you can or whos got the bigger engine or whos car puts out the most emissions or whatever it is ya'll like to talk about. lets see a 99% stock camaro or whatever else ya wanna throw out there pitch a 45* angle running 70mph and hold it for a quarter mile with another car on your butt trying to wipe you out. or you can drive in a straight line side by side and talk about fuel prices. whatever floats your boat your cool and my cool are totally totally different so leave it at that. **for the record, bitches love the orange peace |

I'll be the first to admit I HATE rice burners and yes I am a hard into my chevy's. Mine is a weekend runner, quarter mile track car. Yes I might only get 5-7 miles per gal but when we go for a cruise from town to town and on the highway you get a rice burner comes up and starts wanting to race going 60miles an hour,(remind you with 406 roller with 410s thats 3800 on tac) THATS NOT RACING, thats just acting like their cool with their coffee can mufflers. Final say, get an American Muscle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I assure you it's not the size of the engine at all But it does help.It's all about the LOOKS I mean common solid tinted windows, rear spoiler, goofy rims,neon lights, and last but not least the coffee can mufflers etc etc.
Your car does not even have any body lines it looks like a giant painted hotdog.
But hey what do you want from a 20 yr old? It's too much like work to restore an old classic they rather ruin the economy some more by buying imports.
I'd take anything else posted on here hands down over that.
It pisses me off when kids like this bring a car like this to a antique car show and try to get a trophy when someone like me who has a 1964 work in progress.New cars lucky if you ever changed a spark plug let alone any body work.

It pisses me off when kids like this bring a car like this to a antique car show and try to get a trophy when someone like me who has a 1964 work in progress.New cars lucky if you ever changed a spark plug let alone any body work. window tint is a preference, neon lights will NEVER go under my car, the spoiler is a FACTORY kouki s14 spoiler, how are my wheels goofy when they have the same design as the zo6 wheels? as for the 2 tone line, it sits RIGHT ON A BODY LINE. knowing that you have likely never turned a wrench on any gen 240sx it not likely that you would know that  . also i do not have "coffee cans" or "fart cans" on my car. i have 3" mandrel bent and tig welded stainless steel ran into a resonator with dual apexi n1 silencers. and just because you see some douche bag with a honda and a fart can piping everything in sight doesnt mean that everyone who drives an import is like that. frankly 99% of the people i know who tune cars dont even want to be associated with retards like that, including myself. i work at a body shop, ive had my hands dirty, ive helped build a 70 chevelle, ive helped with a 29 t-bucket, ive helped restore from the ground up a 67 camaro ss numbers matching car from a barn find to a show car. poop right now we're in the middle of putting a 42' ford 2.5ton body on an 88 4x4 bronco frame. if you dont think its cool then fine, keep your smartass comments to yourself unless you know something about the import world other than what youve seen on the fast and the furious movies. |

You dont even know the amount of bodywork he has put into this car. Dont go dogging someone elses vehicle just because its not your style. Be a respectful car enthusiast and be excited that the younger generation is still into working on cars. Atleast hes not out beatin the street with his pants around his ankles!

rb26's arent worth the swap, youll have to use the front transaxle from an r34 and you will have a nightmare wiring in the harness. they are setup like a newer STI, AWD but you controll the give/take from the front ends. rb25tt is alot easier/cheaper to build into the s chassis and you can get just as much power also. ive considered building a KA24DE-T but still tossin around ideas. for now its going to get the brian crower cams, a new AEM v2 cold air in place of my k&n, and im going to concentrate on my suspension and getting rid of the body roll/under sterr from the posi. might play around with weight distribution to try to get the front abit heavier
