--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all, 1st day on here. My names Eddie and im new to 240 ownership. Im a self taught painter and bodyman. plus io know my way around suspension and engines as well. I had a 5.0 mustang and taught myself tyo drift then bought the real thing. I now own a 91 hatch with an RB20 in it. The rb is bonestock, yes even the sidemount, lol. It is fast as shit though so im gonna roll with it. i just bought an origin streamline bodykit off a dude on here. i found out it was for a coupe, so i made a one-off bumper. ill post more pics but here is the car almost 3 months into ownership. Ive already rplaced frame rails, rockers, made a battery tray for the trunk. wired my fans and fuel pump to a standalone set up. and installed oil, boost, af, and temp guages. Just thought id give yuall the rundown. Hope to see some of you guys, and girls, on the street. Peace

Is this really you?


Oh and welcome.

thats a bad picture of me, the lighting does nothing for me lol

pics

welcome, pics?

i put a pic up on my profile and a vid in my signature check it out if youd like

sold a radiator to someone who had an rb, maybe thats you. anyways, keep up the good work. seems like a fun project just please don't ruin it.

4x4 understeer f tw!!

Hey man this thing is looking sick.
I suggest taking that video out of your sig though.
It will be annoying to see that shit everytime you post.

Anyone that says rb cars understeer has never driven one 60 lbs means almost nothing stock suspension and snow tires in dry ground might though..... And the one time I slowed down is because I didn't want to wreck my origin bodykit on the huge dip I driver through Thanks for the comment though

Ps- I can drift my 4x4 suburban in snow and rain like johny tran in tokyo drift

Oh and club racer..... You sold me your radiator thanks it works great but I wanted that bodykit and I couldn't get ahold of you

Tokyo drifting 4x4s?! I might as well give up driving. Looks like the Drift King is here!

WUT?

Ok cool man, I knew you told me about it and it sounded super famaliar to this posting. Good luck with everything and if you ever need help, your not to far from me so just hit me up. I have a bunch more parts to so if your looking for something just pm me and i'll send you my number.
Anyways, good luck. like most 240's, there projects but with an rb your already on the right track.

if it was a 25, maybe...

Well I can drift the truck in 2 wheel drive lol and for the guy with the rb 25 comment....what's in you're car? Where's your body kit and custom spoiler I'm welcome to compliments and criticism but anyone that has driven 240s with different motor swaps can tell you an rb20 is faster out of the box than an sr I proved it in november no doubt the 25 is better but spent less on my rb20 than my buddy spent on his sr and my car is faster....hmmmm....sounds like I might have made the right choice ohhhh, plus I custom made my motor mounts battery tray differential mount and guage mount I mean get on my level homie I know its easy to repeat everything someone else says but get under the car our get on the track with a custom car then come and talk

That person with the body kit and "custom spoiler," the one who made the comment about the Rb25 is the person who decides if you will be banned or not.

= I mean get on my level homie

haha....Go and look at your car for a second.

Hmmm. As for the SR vs RB, I run a slightly modified SR in my coupe. My buddy had a slightly modified RB in his hatch. Mine pulls stronger than his, and has more drivable powerband. He regrets the RB after riding in mine actually. He got it tuned and took that garbage out 2 weeks later for a 25. And its easier for me to find parts. So the right choice is..... KA!!!!

LOL at him 'getting on your level'. How much track time do you have in this? And look at the level of his build before you say something about getting under the car. His car > busted ass S-chassis, IMO.

Not to be on his dick or anything. But I think his car style looks good, and his driving looks cool, so I think he has room to 'come and talk'.
Not sayin I do, but it seems kinda stupid cause you have no idea.

Well anytime you need some stuff custom made then you can let me know maybe I can cut you a deal besides that pic is from months ago track time? I just sold a 500 hp turbo foxbody built for touge so..... I'm not saying a ka or sr isn't better but the cost for me was 2400 including the car and swap I don't mean to be disrespectful but when you enter an ONLINE COMMUNITY generally you should expect a welcome not criticism for my motor choice and cliche one liners about rb20 s sucking cause I own one and maybe you people know someone who had a junk rb20 but mine ain't and I can care less about my membership to a local forum because I joined only to meet cool nissan owners who would wanna make friends but as I am realizing slowly, there may not be many of those people here my cred could be found on cardomain look at the # 1 gto my name is signed on it cause me and the owner painted it oh amf you might find some more cred in the only widebody clk benzo in the world which I also helped build and paint oh wait and perhaps in the best in show zx6 I painted in my garage I came here to help somee of you guys out , I, know most 240s I see need body work and paint so I ask please don't hate I came here to share my knowledge and possibly learn something so I'd appreciate, if I was met with a welcome

once again I mean no disrespect but up make a living o2 of my garage doing what I love so if anyone else out there iys their own boss and can live off of buying and selling fast cars then please throw that stone but if not then hate on someone with a bodykitted d15 civic with under glow cause then you might actually be right

For someone who appears to be saying they have a business (it is hard to decode whatever the hell you are saying...) you make it hard as shit to read what you say...


Also who said this was a welcoming community...

Dude, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

You just wrote a sentence that is longer than most paragraphs. You obviously HAVE to make a living off "buying and selling fast cars" because you damn sure couldnt do anything that requires an education.

And shut up with all that "wheres your bodykit and custom spoiler?" shit. My car is stock and looks a hell of a lot better than your garbage.

Just shut the fuck up already. Youre annoying.
