HAHA sorry man but I highly doubt that I just got my facts straight. Tiptronic is nothing like what I'm talking about, twin clutch is probably what your thinking of which is actually really awesome because it shifts faster than anything, and SMT is a manual transmission that has a computer do what your hand and feet usually do.
So like 3 weeks ago I was driving around and I stopped at this red light behind a mazda 3. when the light turned green we started going barely making it to 15 mph before she decides to slam on her brakes. I do the same in reaction to her but alas the ground is still soaked with water from rain the night before so I slid right into her bumper infront of about 100 bikers. Her damage was nothing to cry about, the paint on her bumper had been scraped off from my license plate, no cracks or deep cuts or anything. I apologized for most likely following to close although I don't really remember exactly what the circumstances were because it happened so fast. She agreed the damage wasn't worth the 500 dollars she would have to pay to get it fixed anyways so I offered to give her some cash or something possibly even just re paint her bumper. She said she would think about it and probably wouldn't report it because of that but that she would call me if she did. 3 days later I get a call from her insurance company. I'm thinking "thanks a lot B****" haha. Anyways 2 and a half weeks later I guess something happened between my insurance and her insurance because now she has an attorney who is trying to get money for injuries she got from our little accident. Weird how injuries can just appear out of no where 2 weeks later. "HMMMM interesting" I think to myself. So my insurance calls me up and asks me to get a hold of their adjuster to come take some pictures of my car. I am more than willing being my car has zero damage other than a crinkled license plate. So I met up with him today and when I brought him to my car in the starbucks parking lot he was confused. Why was he confused I thought. Well because he has been doing his line of work for over 20 years and with any injury there is always some kind of damage to the car. "ALWAYS" he says. "especially with hondas". He tells me from what he can see we were probably barely going 15. haha funny he says that I'm thinking, because I was. He also tells me that my insurance company needs him to take all these pictures because the attorney she hired is an ambulance chaser. Now it all makes sense to me, they are trying to hustle more money from my insurance and neither her insurance nor my insurance will let her claim injuries because they both know that she isn't injured from anything that occurred between us. Haha. This lady just wasted a lot more than 500 dollars worth of her own money and now she is probably going to get nothing from anyone
Yeah they are really slow, why people make them out to be peices of gold is beyond me. I didnt race one but i know a kid who owned one and we were traveling down a long straight and we were doing pulls to see whose car was quicker. So he would take off and i could hear is blow off valve from ways away, but with my trusty ol Ej1 that was mini me swapped i caught up to him like his $1500 turbo was worthless. he claims he didnt have it tuned but o well lol.
i had a buddy of mine that had a sr swapped s13 and he spun out got tboned by a van the gas tank or something ruptured (guess its a real common problem) and the car started on fire, he almost died because of it. He said its the last time he owns a 240 because of that experiance. They can be fast as **** and make wicked drift cars because they are cheap to buy and cheap to make quick, but they are tin cans like our hondas.
wish we had stuff like that out here, closest is the Boston Aquarium and anyone thats been will vouch that its not even worth the 2 hr drive lol
I got a ton of **** here being so close to D.C. Usually go to the zoo during the summer, thinking about taking a trip to see the Holocaust museum, I heard its really nice but sad at the same time
hell yes, got my goddamn money last nite. went to the bank immediately after i left the dealer and cashed it no problem. funny thing is now since everything is taken care of, the Better Business Bureau is taking action on my complaint and contacting them!
two different ways to do that...one would be having a photobucket or flickr account. then inserting the pic with the IMG icon just above where you type a message. (it looks like a little mountain)
OR
scroll down and click on Go Advanced, then Manage Attachments...find the pic on your hard drive and click Upload. then you're done.

especially from 90-2000. IMO that is.
BUT 240's are cursed in the same way that b16's are...everyone wants one, and whoever HAS one, is trying to sell it for WAY to much.
i've said it before, a used 240sx sells for a lot more than a used 300zx even tho the 300 is far superior in every way.
im not going to take the time to PM these guys, they should read it here if they are following the thread.

Just need to mock up some sort of cooling plate (shouldnt be too hard and looks way better then), make some radiator brackets and wire up both 11" fans properly.
