SchizophrenicMC Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Disregard racecars, all glory to my 240SX. Just put some new tires on for the first time in the 3 years I've owned it, and it is SO MUCH better. So, so much. At everything. Second best $370 I ever spent on this car. Quote

In my state, disabled drivers can get a license plate that permanently permits them to park in designated handicapped parking spots, without a placard or sticker or any of that.

The car is basically bone stock, down to the factory option twin tip muffler. At this point, the only real modifications to the car include an emissions delete (with catalyst still installed) and seats from a 1995. I still have the factory tape deck in my closet- replaced it with a Pioneer I had lying around because I hate FM and my power antenna is broken anyway. Suffice to say it's the cleanest S13 I've seen in person. Quote
Beltane70 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 ^^^ That's the same way that my '05 Sentra SE-R SpecV is, totally stock. The only thing that I'd really want to do to my car is change the front end and wheels to the '02 Sentra SE-R style. Quote

Used to gush about wanting own one during college. (thanks Initial D) No. I hate SR20s. Gutless little things. Terribly expensive, too. The current plan in motion is eventually to turbocharge the KA24DE. This will come with a whole suite of supporting modifications that will cost me between $8-10,000 depending on a few factors, and will ultimately generate 350whp with daily driver reliability and minimal compromises to fuel economy or drivability.

dizman Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Where was the new Porsche, I guess I must have missed it in that video? Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 How is it Porsche can manage to make the same design more boring with every iteration? Quote
spanner Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 why so much bashing on Porsche!? The 911 is a friggin sweet car! All except the 996 model which sucked.. Quote

SchizophrenicMC Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 The 911 is meh. The 944/951/968 is pretty cool, but it represents the half-assery of Porsche engineering. Like the 911 represents the half-assery of both their engineering and design. I'm just not convinced by the circlejerk. "Prestige" my dick, Porsches are just sporty Volkswagens. Quote
areaseven Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 When it comes to Porsches, I still prefer the 928. As Tom Cruise said: "There is no substitute." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQzQp4JBi3I Quote
