240's
 

alright im sure ill be argued with here but, the one car im sick of is a 240 the people who own them think there godly like and then when they put there sr20det in there unstoppable atleast where i live. for example my friends brother owns an evo with around 300 whp and this guy did the little engine swap like they all do for around 205 hp and aparently he thought he could beat them. lets just say after first gear it was more then over. All the guys in the 240 grooup around here cut the fucking springs and wh they do that I dont know but after they do the car is just plain as wrecked, it squeaks you ake it over a pothole and your back end falls off. anyways thats why I hate 240s now but before i actually liked them.

agree or disagree?

oh and by the way the miata is the best high speed drift car around so why get a 240.

all aboard the ricer bandwagon.

240 and drifting = new form of rice

I personaly love a 240...but there is always someone around to ruin a good car. And cutting springs is one of the worste things you can ever do to a street car.

I counted five sentences in that entire post. :gay:

well i guess im saying i hate the 240 group around here they made me hat em though.

who cares?

240 = japanese camaro.

is that suppose to be a good thing cause im not in to gm cars

wanna race then? :gay:

:rofl:

johnclev6, i dont like em either

They're decent cars, they have engines similar in design to the b6/bp. A buddy is making about 280whp on his cheap-o diy kit. Idiots drive everything. Including apparently, miatas. ;)

no only gay idiots drive miatas :) ohh lala la i drive a pink miata.

280 huh it has to be the s15 then casue the s13 doesnt pump out even 200 whp

actually the s15 only pumps out 250 i dont know how much to the wheels

it's a lightweight rwd sporty car, there's not too many to pick from. I'd pick one up for the right price, no sr20det swap for me though, it would be a built ka24de-turbocharged of course. And it wouldn't be setup for drifting either

mach929 thats the smartest thing ive ever heard from a 240 owner thank you.

i like the ka24e so all those people who swap in puny sr20's and give up all of that torque and driveability. for a highstrung peak hp motor. i would still never trade my hardbody for a 240 i am just abit wider and the front end weight bias makes loading the rear in corners wich helps tration alot plus the selection of wide wheels and tires of a sticky low pro are cheaper to buy and fine heck not to mention you can't even run more than a 245-50 on a 240 whereas i have plenty of room on my 265-60's esp the rear.

I have been in the the whole 240 and drifting sceen way way before it was popular so of course I have a deep love for them. And as we all know, the 240 is now the civic, which sucks, but when you do see a whole bunch of 240's you'll know who the ricers are and who the ones that are for real because you wont see and red top with 16 valve on it. Youll see a inline 6 bitches.

True! Just turbo the 2.4

The 240 with the RB is some nasty ish.

At a meet from last year, there was some random dude that had a nice 15, 355 at the wheels. Demo highway pulls too. wheeeee. He was not a ricer.

240's were "cool" because they were sleeper. Cheep. Fast. Understated.

We all know what they are now, and it's a damn shame. Can't see one for sale without "DrIFt PROjecT!!" $6,000, cut springs......

Gotta find one from a little old lady.

SR20's are slow just turbo the K motor!

ENJOY!

SR20s are only really powerful with extreme builds IMO. My friend has an 800 HP sr20 altima (what a donkey). Either way, I respect turbo KA24s alot more.

i have respect for sr20det i have seen stock sr in 24osx run 13 flat stock boost and all just 3 inch exhaust and a front mount.but it has become sad that it is the new civic,thats why i bought my miata instead.i have also seen 240sx's with sr20's beat brand new evo's .i guess where im from they still are respected .ive watched my friend beat a 04 supercharged cobra that the guy claimed to be ''stock''.anyway its getting an rb swap.

im realy doubting anything you said there its just not possible hate to break it to you they cant beat an evo. they defiantly cant run a 13.

i think they are nice just to many idiots fixing them up. just like the whole honda scene.

your a fool.what do you think i pulled this out of a hat.:robert:

theres no way sorry man

Are you here to troll or contribute to the group?

Whoa, not a lot of love for the 240? :gtfo: ?? IMO it's a great car with amazing drift abilities. It's very easy platform to learn on and quickly lead your way to be a "master". No matter what engine platform you use there is plenty of torque available and i think it's one of the classics. Just because people were ricing out civics doesn't mean that the civic was a bad enthusiast platform, it just meant you had to go your own way and ignore the trends. :bigtu:


Oh how incredibly wrong you are. I'm not sure where you pull that from (I don't even think you could find that in your own ass :gay: ) Miata's are far from the best ANYTHING car, other than the most sold roadster in history. In fact Miata's make quite poor drift cars ATM. They have a rotational axis point that is too close to the front of the car causing spin outs, and are low powered so no throttle in = dead stop mid drift. There has only been 1 person in history who has qualified for D1 in a Miata, Ryan Hampton. He now drives the Falken 60's Camaro Drifter. People are working on making the Miata a more available drift platform but it's a lot more work than others are doing for the same results.

Like this one?? http://myspace-766.vo.llnwd.net/0052...21122766_l.jpg

johnclev6 no hard feelings.i dont know whats up with the kids cars you know but a good running SRs kicks ass,o0o the pink miata looks insane.:bigtu:

there are many techniques in drifting amd like i said the miata is a good high speed drift car, its probably the hardest techniques but if you got good at it it works. Ive never went drifting cause its not my thing but ive accidently got it loos around corners at around like 50 and it was very very controllable.

OMG mad dorifto :greddy:

Yeah...I wouldn't talk about the miata when you've hardly owned one, the arguement from SOOOOO many about how drifting is easy is always about "I got it squirrley in the rain" or "the rear kicked out and" So much more involved than that it's pretty stupid to even suggest they compare.
It's seriously like saying "My car gets going to 30 mph pretty fast, I'm sure I can run a good 11 sec 1/4 mile" or even the likes of "I was just off roading in my backyard, and I think WRC would be a lot of fun, can't be too hard"

A lot of people have their starts in a 240 in some form or another, don't think you can talk to anyone in D1 who hasn't spent a fair amount of time in one (I would say not even the hard core trueno type). Essentially all of Drift Alliance were in 240's at one point, even JR who won last season in a Mustang. I can see why a lot of people would think them good cars to have, which yeah...basically they are. How someone treats a car shouldn't sway your opinion of the car it's self...elsewise johnclev6 I think a lot of members would have abandoned ship soon after you started posting.

I would like it if you could give your opinions and let me give mine without bashing me is that to much to ask everyone has there own opinions.

I did, I wasn't targeting you specifically about the buisness of turns, it's just that it's an arguement so similarly used by many people and I'm showing to you why it doesn't work. If you read the second part of the post you will see where I very distinctly talk about 240's and their use. Yes I added a bit at the end but the whole discussion was based off your distaste for them and how they are treated. Well same goes, you have shared your insights as to how you like your miata and what you would like to do with it and some find it in dis-taste. Does that mean that they now hate miatas?? Nope, and you aren't the first person to come around with the opinions that you do. Though first in a long time willing to post on forums such as this one.

well what i want to do to my miata is get a turbo on it isnt that what everyone else wants on here

every car has it's loyal followers. 240 guys think the SR20DET is the best thing since sliced bread. rx7 guys think that anything with pistons is uncivilized. Supra guys think that 3400 lbs is "spry".

Me? I'm all about taking things at face value. SR20DET's can be good motors, but dollar for dollar, i'll turbo a KA24DE. Rotaries are novel, but if I want to have fun in an FC rx7, i'm dropping in an LS1. Supras are cool and all, but no, $2300 is not reasonoble for a catback exhaust.
