We were having a good discussion in that suspension thread, and Sasha actually touched on a very good point. I can’t reply to that post because you get all flustered.
Whats your problem?
Andrew.
Maybe he thinks you’re being critical of his opinion?
His posts are way to emotional, I can’t read them anymore.
LoL, that was a pretty good thread actually. The rates of change of CG vs. roll center is a valid point, but not quite as valid as some people think. The issue with that is, it’s not the whole story, there’s more to it than that. Your suspension is a linkage, so when you change one length in it, you change the angles of everything else, and the motion of the entire linkage. Your camber curves become different for one, and a couple of other things that I do not know enough about to discuss. Yea, I DON’T know enough to discuss. But apparently Ahmed, with zero educational/technical/practical knowledge and experience does.
I realize a lot of people here think I’m cocky and talk shit because I’m an Engineer, and I’ve been to the track all of like… 3-4 times lol. I usually try to restrict my shit talking to topics that I know something about though. This is what annoys me about Ahmed, he has no credentials whatsoever, but finds it necessary to spread bad information to new members. When I asked for the admins to prevent him from posting in technical, that wasn’t some kind of childish SON diss at him, that was a serious request, based on what I think would be good for the forum. Ahmed continues to post on technical issues after many of the admin staff have directly asked him not to.
Ahmed said: “What I want and can’t get is a douchebagless son240 and any money i spend won’t make that happen on here.”
Ahmed, you don’t have to spend any money to get a douchebagless son240, all you have to do is leave.
You know, I wasn’t too heavily involved in this site until I got my first 240 home, but I’m slowly learning about every little detail. The one thing I was seriously trying to learn about was suspension (I’m planning to do a susp. upgrade next summer) and i wanted to do research and make sure of what I was doing. Soulitude warned me about ahmed, but now I’ve seen it first hand (several times). It was such a decent thread until Ahmed decided to turn a simple comment by GT into some sort of pseudo personal attack.
Maybe he was abused as a child?
Maybe he should have been…
One thing I can’t stand about Ahmed is that all his posts are pretty much the same. If you look at them, they are all the same.
Here is what I’ve noticed:
-
Always talks about his wife, that he’s married to.
-
Talks about money, mostly about everyone being poor and they can’t afford nice shit, so they try to tell others not to get it.
(Ahmed, you shouldn’t be talking shit since you were making excuses about how you have no money now, you’re such a hypocrite) -
Always talks as if he’s been there done that.
-
He talks like he has a track car but he’ll prolly never go to one. He will use money + family + wife as an excuse.
-
Always talks about his dad’s ford taurus.
Ahmed, please leave this board. I hate to talk like we’re in high school but no one likes you here.
I’m glad I was warned about him, If i hadn’t, i would have probably followed his advice… nah…
I’ll give him one thing though, Ahmed seems to be the king of BS.
TAURUS BRAKES FTW!
Fargus, I’m glad you have seen the light.
Taking advice from Ahmed is kinda like taking advice from a dude that works at bestbuy.
here’s some more
-
he talks about upgrades to his car while also mentioning he’s broke (wtf are you getting upgrades for mr brokeass)
-
likes to claim the world is against him when he posts even though everyone (that has common sense of course, clearly he doesnt) knows his posts consist of a huge stinking pile of BS
-
calls people…well mark…a racist when clearly no one here is racist, we all know mark is sarcastic, witty and…well more sarcasm, its your own fault you cant take it
like i told fargus, if he sees a_ahmed’s post, dont even bother reading it anymore because the likelihood of him being flamed for posting bs is so high and then getting the thread locked is more common than fire in hell.
.
Ur a buncha retards, why ruin the suspension by lowering it 3-4" and not fixing the geometry? IM AN IDIOT FOR STATING THAT? IM AN IDIOT FOR SAYING GET ADJUSTABLE TIE RODS AND LCAS? What a bunch of DOUCHEBAGS.
Go fucken get geo metros and megan stickers to acomodate your amazing race cars.
You’re the ones that talk shit, just because you won’t do it.
A stock 240 rolls LESS than my lowered car i can confirm that (because its fucken obvious because guess what if the theory is true then… SO IS THE EFFECT IN REAL LIFE and you’re full of shit).
Mine is lowered 1.5", and the kyb dampners can be adjusted to different valving (albeit shitty adjustments as its not dual), and kyb states that one of the settings is the same as stock dampening. WHEN set to that, it ROLLS more than a stock 240. SAME hicas sways, in fact mine has polyurethane sway bushings and on everything else (at the time when i drove it). No other mods. It rolled ALOT more than mine had with same dampening as per KYB but with 1.5" lowered springs. So I had to up the dampening, and that’s still with 1kg+ stiffer springs (if i recall the stock se ones were 2kg~ or something the stechs ones are 3kg~ but progressive so thats not exactly accurate but hey). That’s on a 1.5 drop.
Now 3-4" that’s seriously messed up. That’s bad advice? YOU ARE full of bs. I am saying the right thing, while you’re saying oh its unecessary and for a track car. EVERYTHING RIGHT seems to be for a track car!? Well I’ll do it because I rathre have a ‘right’ car, than have many other new sports cars handle better and feel better than mine. Go ahead go be ‘baller’ and run 4" drops with fucked up suspension alignment.
Oh what’s the excuse? “Oh its on the street, you dont need that unless you’re on the track”.
So you rather look like a moron with a shitty handling car thats so mega tyte lowered? So stupid.
Mark you’re a faggot that if you see me in real life you wouldnt talk shit to me like that, you’re a fucken e-thug and you know it.
You’re a bunch of idiots who do things half-assed.
And solarian an engineer? I sure as hell won’t drive something you engineer, unless its a 2000$ 20 year old american piece of shit.
And mark and solarian and the likes u have done your homework in spreading shit about me to others including new members. Congratulations fags.
If anyone should know anything is that you’re a bunch of retards that started going to the track with rusted 20 year old pieces of shit who think the stock brakes are good, lowering a car and doing alot of other shit shouldnt matter when the geoemtry gets fucked and buying low balled chinese products of son240 is the way to go.
Oh if you just want the looks its okay. How stupid, you just change the talk.
And mind you, a stock taurus with good tires will outbreak a piece of shit stock brakes 240 including yours fagball. Probably the sable someone mentioned was a gen3 and either way they dont have the 11.9" rotors and calipers. Most people don’t realize how nice gripping and braking a taurus can be with a proper set of tires. I bet you morons dont realize a saturn with r compounds would outhandle any piece of shit so called track 240 as well in autox.
Closed minded elitist bastards is what you all are, and cheapasses too, its self-evident by the history of the sales section.
I had a night shift all summer to not be able to go to the track, and yes i have a family now to spend time with unlike you mark, probably what most of you do is spend drunk buddy time at clubs or similar environments.
And you are cheap asses who spend on piece of shit parts, when i say i did not have money right now, it did not mean im broke just i have other obligations too.
And mark you are truly an inspiration of what an asshole faggot should be like. I’m sure the uneducated moron who can’t speak in your picture is your hero.
And me calling you a racist, absolutely, but again most of you are so who cares, i remember that one thread a loooooong time ago, where someone said something (well mark) and someone said its racist (not me) and then i responded as well, and you just laughed it off when i posted the definition of racial/immigrant discrimination and racism.
and you’re not?
look, the point is, you’re telling people you need this and that and the kitchen sink. everyone works with what they have, everyone has their car tuned the way they feel like tuning it. And when somoene makes a comment about the fact that you don’t NEED all of that? you take it as a personal attack because “everybody needs to have a_ahmed’s USDM tyte 240sx auto with ford taurus brakes and a bajillion dollar suspension and power upgrades”
…oh wait… you’re still saving up for those.
lol i take it as a personal attack because local marky and solarian and the x joe son240 mentality homie goes that u need a jdm tyte made in china setup with stock brakes that are amazing and saying to me that everything i say is stupid and unecessary (when actually right).
You’re saying I’m wrong in the fact that according to you, mark and our EXPERT engineer who has engineered nothing but finished his schooling that lowering a car 3-4" is fine and you don’t need to correct the geoemetry with LCAs and tie rods. WOW. So Im stupid alright. Wow just wow.
The cure? Run made in china insane spring rates coilovers + swaybars which IRONICALLY will not be that great for… drumroll… a daily driver. And/Or fix the geometry with adjustable LCAs+adjustable tie rods, to the correct geometry. Or just leave it as is stock and don’t f it up as the REAL engineers from nissan engineered it to be.
Just so you know, a Taurus with good compound tires will grip alot better than u think and so will it outbrake a stock pos 240. It’s just that whoever owns one tends to run the cheapest canadian tire all season tires and monroe pos pads and rotors. I was actually contemplating one day taking it to the track i kid you not.
It’s faster in a straight line than a stock 240 BELIEVE IT OR NOT, its not noisy like a 240 BELIEVE IT OR NOT, it can without speed limiter go to 230-240km/hr with minor mods, while a stock 240 can only 210km/hr BELIEVE IT OR NOT and honestly… i took it on a sharp private track (lol so you dont give me shit) long curvy bend at 120km/hr and it still had some left in it… it felt too scary in a taurus as im used to my 240 being more responsive and being able to countersteer and power over steer if anything goes poopoo, but this is a fwd car, the steering wheel did not jig however what so ever, it was so smooth and just gripping and gripping, not a single bumpsteer obviously as the suspension is straight no problem. This was a taurus with a duratec 3.0liter and gs-d3 225/50/zr16 tires. NO MODS. My 240 at 120km/hr in the same bend felt at the limit scary with bumpsteer… and it started sliding too much into a drift and not grip which was too dangerous on a regular road to play with, regardless of anyone around or not and obviously could not be pushed more… Funny now you’re going to say my taurus can handle better than my car too, well are you, lol. My car’s rear tires are worn though and theres too much bumpsteer that i want to… drumroll fix.
Seriously a saturn with 225/45/16 or 215/50/16 r compounds will outhandle pretty much anything on here or most other 240 forums. Does that ALSO sound implausible and funny and stupid out of me? Look into it. You’d be surprised. So while you like retards cite about a taurus sucking (with canadian tire all season tires), think about it.
Now you may go again ooh thats for track you’re an idiot, but hey i want to fix it. I won’t lower my car more than another 0.5" so thatll be 2" drop, but at least i want no bumpsteer and introduced roll due to poor geometry. I want as much stroke in the suspension and that can be achieved still with a proper setup, but not your made in china crap and no adjustable lca/tie rods.
I mean look at it this way, most of you run megan racing parts, ebay parts and misc china/taiwan made parts. Of course you’re not concerned with proprely setting the geometry up. That’s your opinion this is mine.
And honestly i swear, I will take the taurus lol to the track, i kid you not. just for shits and giggles im curious how it will do with the tires and pads it has. With dampners and sways from a gen 3 SHO it should do quite well actually with good tires. The 240 obviously i will take to the track next summer. This whole summer I spent being busy with finding a good job and also working night shift, busy with family and settling in. That’s not an excuse, just responsibility. Unlike most of you which spend your time getting piss drunk or going to high school.
I won’t mention any mods I just did to the car, because quite frankly i don’t need to share it anymore. They made a difference and you wont get them or care to know about them. From now on you can assume whatever you want that i dont have experience with, like i said ive probably driven more cars than most of you, but again when i say that it turns into another “oh do we care” but then you actually do when u attack me on ‘experience’. It’s just a viscious cycle really.
Whatever you attack me with and i respond with a response, turns into a did we even ask that and do we care? So its more about just mark and solarian and x son240 homie group mentality. Most of you havent even met me in real life. I met mark, he’s a scared little stick in real life, woow man… does he ever talk shit on the internet, in real life he is a quiet tiny guy who likes to do burn outs and drifting in canadian tire parking lots to show off his SR to me while on the forum talking about how every ‘street racer’ LOL is a fool, etc… Please man.
you do know what jdm stands for, right?
look, the fact of the matter is that you assume most of us have no idea what we’re doing, and you persisting your points and calling us all faggots an morons does nothing more than make you… well… look like a moron yourself and therefore we have no respect for what you have to say.
oh, and by the way, calling someone a faggot is considered discriminating against gays.
Jerk.
EDIT someone should take his editing privileges away. It’s hard to keep up with him because he can’t seem to get out all he needs to say in one go.
^You just edited your post lol.
JDM stands for japanese domestic market, guess what? That was the LAST craze on son240 and you just joined so you wouldn’t know. When it was so mega cool that if you didn’t have it you were well so uncoool, having digital climate control, jdm used junkyard parts, coilovers, rims, etc… and of course hard parking a term i only learned recently on son240 as thats exactly what everyone did to show off. I only came to two car meets, not worth it.
Now its a new trend, being a track elitist bitch. This summer most of son240 went to the track so they automatically became ‘gods’ of racing with their stock brakes and rusted frames LOL…
The only REAL good cars on all of son are like the two kats on here, and sasha’s track oriented race s14. The rest, mostly rusted frames, jdm tyte rims, lowered 4", and by chance a stock or lightly moded jdm tyte sr20det. lol. THATS about IT on all of son, most are just stock and never intend to go beyond this.
Check the history of the sales section and you’ll just see low balling and cheap parts. AND overpriced JUNKYARD parts. Seriously who would pay 120 dollars for junkyard ‘jdm’ turn signals??? Ironically i saw a couple of those on american forums going for 30 bux.
Anyways…
I honestly did not read all that shit, I sorta skimmed through it, found my name, read the comment, lol’d at it and then went on to post this.
-Ahmed, I have one last thing to say to you: Yo’ ass could never dream of affording anything I engineer. Aerospace biznatch 
Good luck scraping up 3.5mil :lol:
-Admins… people have been banned for less, I know that it’s been sort of amusing, but honestly… this fucker needs to go.
LOL aerospace!?!? I bet thats why the spaceshuttle crashes all the time hahahaha. Heat shields my ass.
NASA must have taken you as co-op and realized their mistakes afterwards.
You’re a full time student according to your info Unless you’re doing an undergrad or PhD, your ass just got out of school.
From what I’m seeing here you’re elitist because you bash people for having opinions opposed to yours. people who don’t have the bajillion dollar upgrades are considered to have shitty supermadeinchinaricemobiles in your eyes. GT brought up a good point to your comment about getting race grade suspension that you should take your car to the track and see if you like how it feels.
It seems like we should all be hiring you to use your god given talent to see how all our cars feel just by looking at it.
and you know what happens when you assume we all have stock brakes and rusted frames?
you make an ASS out of U and ME
a_ahmend…you do not know your limit do you? Just stop, you are not making any sense.
You mean to actually tell me that if all you want to do is hav ethe car lowered for the only purpose of looking good, you need anything else other than coils?
Also, on the issue of brakes, which you brought up in a previous post on this page, why on earth do you need upgraded brakes on a dily driven car? What’s wrong with the stock brakes (which were engineered by the all-mighty Nissan engineers) when stopping at a red light doing 60, or stopping for the old lady crossing the street etc.
Finally, go buy a Taurus if you praise them so much. You could buy 6 from parting out your suspension alone.
