o man, just look at it all on speedhunter, u’ll learn to like it.
nice car…
Yea i was commenting on how clean the car was, cant beat the ones from overseas!
That black one is pretty hot actually. Wheels look awesome, but i wouldnt tint those euro taillights. And look! he’s drifting on SamsonSam595s just like us! He must be cool.
Uggghhh ok my first post in awhile here we go, just to clear some things up.
Pervious car-
1992 240sx Coupe /w stock sr, well koyo rad and a few other things but no mods to make any real power.
Current car-
1994 probe gt
klze uppper and lower intake mani
bored throttle body
ram-air intake
headers
full 2.5" exhaust /w highflow cat
7lb flywheel
racing clutch
short-throw shifter
msd ignition
aggressive cams, re-grinds
super AFR
theres more but I dont wanna get that into it
184whp on dyno
Fact: My motor makes more power then a stock klze
------My 240 was faster
------Fwd can be fun too, I learned that after i got it. It’s neat when you can just throw your car into a corner and hammer it and not worrying about the ass-end, although worrying about the ass-end can be sooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun.
------a klo3(stock probe gt motor) or klze will sound much better then any sr or ka
------Probe is more comfortrable, by far
And there it is.
Anyone wanna buy a probe? lol
My first car -
1995 Probe GT
-KLZE Motor, Straight Neck IM
-Panspeed Tuned KL31 ECU/ JE50 MAF
-Exedy clutch
-Magnaflow exhaust, CAI,
-SSAC Headers
-MSD BlasterII Coil/HEI module
-Colt cams race grind
-Fidanza 9lb
My second car -
1989 240
-KA-E complete balls,
-Building KA-T
Factory for factory the Probe blew the 240 out of the water on ride, comfort, and driving that doesnt involve drifting - autox, lapping was fun as hell. I can’t compare PGT-ZE to KA-T but everyone that states FWD is gay/for ricers/you can’t drive with - what FWD have you owned…?
$1400 got me 14.8x at st thomas. $1400 wouldn’t have paid for a sr20 swap w/ mods.
probes are just ugly wanabe 240’s…stating that there fwd i dont hate on fwd…ive actually drove a h22 civic and k20 civic and are rediculously fast and will give a run for your money for most 240’s on this board. 240s are slow but fun…
wow…$1400 would run a KA-T well in the 13s range…at least
but we aren’t gonna get into the whole KA-T argument now haha.
sr’s are not made to go straight…ka-t are imo
Way to take this thread way off course - go make your own 240sx VS Probe thread.
I burst into laughter reading this thread. It’s like a broken telephone game that ends in a chirpfest.
I like the probe. I would own one but definitely would not modify one by applying a wing or applying a body kit. The car is to round IMO to get a kit put on it.
I’m guessing you’re Marks friend, maybe the guy who came with him to pick up the car. Didn’t know the wheels were knockoffs, and I’m pretty sure I mentioned that Thounsta sprayed the Blitz logo on the XSpower intercooler…if not, my bad…(I copied/pasted his for sale thread).
Just to clear things up, I owned the car for 3 weeks, and sold it because my insurance company cancelled my policy. You guys took a look at the car and I was honest about anything that was asked. I’m a HUGE DIY car noob (the furthest I’ve gone is installing HIDs and spraying my rims black, and now green)…so sorry if there was any confusion there.
But that aside, I think it was a good deal for $6,300. And Mark made it the badass car it should have been (although I’m on the fence about the Silvia front vs. popups).
Back to the theme of the thread, no need to flame. just happened to see these in the parkin lot after watchin FNF… AND yes they may be better and faster than my 240. but I thought they looked funny!
Exactly why I posted that Probe. I mean, COME on.
No, we have to defend the Corolla’s honour now.
^^lol from the AE86 to that.
oh my
So white2, I also bet that if anyone had said your sil80 was so hot, you would’ve been “Yeah, thanks”. But as soon as someone mentioned something negative, you would’ve been like “Oh, no the previous owner did that”.
If it’s your car, you should take both credit and criticism for it.
You’re right, and I do. Every single thing about that car was done by the previous owner. There are plenty of things I would have changed or done differently if I had built the car.
But, I did like it. I don’t give a shit if the wheels weren’t flush, or if the bumper was falling off. I thought it looked good, but I can see why others think its ugly.
I’m not like whatever or whoever you think I am. I am straight up.
Want to hear some self-bashing? My Kouki is fucking scratched to SHITS. There are dings, dents, and scratches all over the thing. I bought it like that. It’s probably in the worst cosmetic condition out of ANY car on this board…but do I give a shit? There’s zero rust, and 120,000 km on the odometer. I went for that over cosmetics.
Oh, and its stock, so Applesauce can shit all over it.
why would you call your own car a piece of shit… and say its the worst condition on son when you say it has no rust… thats retarded… you started to bash your car in one sentence… and then the next statement out of your mouth is its fresh with 120k and thats why you bought it lol… so is it shit ? or are you just pretending again ?
and if you dont mind me asking… 120k and its all fucked up on the outside… why would you buy that ? a car with 250k and a little bit of rust can be in just as good of mechanical shape as a 120km car - look how your previous owner took care of the outside… you think hes going to keep the engine proper ? lol just saying… if your buying a piece of shit… buy a piece of shit and if you have plans for it like you said - what does it matter what it looks like now…
then again most of the son builds that are done are 2-3 years in the making and never get finished anyways…
I was only bashing my own car to “prove” to Fobwall that I’m not some stuck-up, thinks-his-own-car-is-the-best kinda person. Kind of pointless, but I just wanted to point out that I’m not just criticizing other peoples cars, pretending my car is the shiznitt.
I’m not calling my car a piece of shit, I’m just saying that my car isn’t perfect, it has scratches, it’s stock, it would be beaten by most cars on the board and plenty of FWD cars crawling the streets, yada yada yada…It was more to make a point, a point that I probably should have kept to myself.
Anyways, thats enough.
White2, the only problems I really had with you were that you came off as someone who thought that owning a 240 automatically made you better than everyone else and that FWD cars are useless and cannot be made into serious cars. Made it look like you were some RWD fanboy.
I guess you have redeemed yourself.
Next time, just keep it to yourself. When you talk like that on a forum that’s open to everyone, you make us all look like assholes, not just you.
Put it this way, look at how every civic owner is judged and stereotyped.
All 240 owners will be stereotyped just like that some day because of ignorant people that make stupid comments like that.
