Whats your ultimate Objective/Goal for your car?

[West]

Alright this is easy for me and Boostaholic. We have always said our major objective/goal of our cars is to scare the shit out of everyone and we cant stop until everyone is so scared they wont drive with us because the car is just too scary, that being either scary looks/speed/handling/etc. Not like those damb kids that scare the shit out of people when they drive because they drive like a moron. So I though I would share this with everyone and see what your main objective/goal for your car?

If someone were to piss their pants while I took them on a test drive in my car then I would then feel my car is complete <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Boostaholic said he's gonna start carrying around a towel for people to sit in while he drives em around. They almost need it.... as soon as he installs his cams and stand alone ecu its all over for everyone... I think he might need that towel for himself... lol

[drifterx]

start carrying a jar for people to piss in too...
people will piss there pants

Well, it's not something I have put alot of thought into, but I think I have ambitions to be one of the top show cars on the East Coast. &nbsp;The SR20 is becoming more and more common, so to have a well built KA should be more original in a couple of years. My exterior mods are done, interior is about 80% there. I guess you could say like an East Coast version of Non Fujita. All JDM parts except for the motor just for the sake of originality.

[West]

I like the KA for the same reasons. Its not that often you see a properly built KA.

Non Fujita has a nice as s14! OMG.

[ca18guy]

Well my goal for my car is alittle over 300hp nice exterior (jdm tails, new front end)and nice interior with 2 10in subs. I plan to bring my car back to the states with me in a few years and surprise some people who think there racing a regular old 240sx (i'd have limo tint to hide the fact that it's a right hand drive car). Also I want a T3 or a T3/4 turbo for my horsepower goals and i want it to keep me glued to my seat when i floor it (those of you with turbo's know what i mean, I love when the turbo kicks in <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Then when I get out of the military I plan to buy a 300zxtt and have my car as my work car. Well I guess thats a bunch of goals actually <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

My friend's grandmother really likes depends...comfortable yet absorbant <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[spin]

i think my car is about 75% done towards the final goal. &nbsp;i haven't spent that much money on exterior stuff. &nbsp;most of my money have gone into the suspension. &nbsp;about the only things i'm really saving for are coilovers* and the evasive S14 rear strut bar. &nbsp;my main goal is to make spinmonkey handle GREAT! &nbsp;here in california, i try to take my car to the curvey canyon roads as much as possible. &nbsp;and hopefully will be spending more time at auto-x.

*sidenote: &nbsp;i currently have RS*R springs with tokico struts. &nbsp;will coilovers be a noticeable improvement?

[West]

spin: what coilovers you have planned?

ca18guy: what happens when you get pulled over in the state? lol

[Grant]

To have me and my passengers live to see another day )(let just say a little incident happened).

what do you guys think or apexi WS coilovers for a daily street car? or shoudl i jsut go with springs/shocks? do pillow ball mounts adjust camber?

[ca18guy]

west: if I can't get it up to usa safety spec (kinda like a gt-r but i think there's less to do to this car), i read that there is a military exemption that i can get to bring it over (i just could never sell it under this exemption) so i guess i would need to keep the car in the family, i would'nt be the first to bring a UK spec back to the states <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[mrace240sx]

Tough question West.
Right now, I am looking at alot of little things that coulda/shoulda been done at the factory to make my '97 S14 faster. Better air flow, stiffer suspension, the usual stuff.
I guess I am looking to mod this car to 200hp and then put a NOS system on it for additional boost. I am willing to spend money, but not crazy money. Engine swap and Turbo are pretty much out of the picture... too much to spend. Im really just looking to work on what Ive got.

As far as looks go, other than larger wheels and hi performance tires, a great shine will do just fine for me.
I intend to keep it looking as stock as I can. I want to surprise those 6's and 8's <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I may eventually pick up OEM spoiler and ground effects, and a chin scoop to go with it. But right now I am more worried about performance than looks.

This is all subject to change as I live and learn.

Some pillow mounts allow for Camber Adjustment, although the Apexi's do not. You can buy some from Cusco for about 300-400$ that will allow for adjustment. I think <a href="http://www.mvpmotorsports.com" target='_blank'>http://www.mvpmotorsports.com</a> has them.

I would reccomend Apexi WS Coilovers for street, but I would find out what spring rate they are. Also... keep in mine I like riding on the street with my 600-700lbs spring rated HKS Coilovers w/ pillow mounts <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I'm just crazy...

[HondakillaS14]

To say ther least......300 ponies to the wheels on a moderately built KA......suttle interior.....mild exterior......and to hit the 13's (at least) in the 1,320....hehehe

I think it is quite evident that we all have similarities in that...

&quot;We all live our lives a quarter mile at a time&quot;

Oh how very, very true my friend!

[transient]

hehehe, Definately. I guess my main goals are to get up over 200hp to the wheels, and have a nice system in the car. Nothin huge, but it's gotta have enough bass to make me happy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[spin]

west,
i have been looking at either the TEIN HA or GAB Stroke II. &nbsp;both in the same price range i think.

[HondakillaS14]

Bass, to me equals moe useless weght...that's me though...I'm just upgrading the stock speakers and the CD unit....that's fine for me!

[96240SX]

Once I put a sytem into my car, it was like the greatest thing that ever happened. Right now I'm driving a car without one, and its just too ordinary to me. The Bass gives you like a personal back massage that pounds with the music. &nbsp;Right now I got 2 Pioneers in a bandpass, but they aren't hitting the way I want, So thats why I'm going to go with a Rockford Fosgate in a ported box. HIts Perfectly..SUcks the air out of your body. But like Hondakilla said....that's me though.

[anthony240]

SLEEPER!

They wont know what's coming till they hear the psshh sound, know what I mean? hehe.

BomexKA24DET, you got a #### nice car, very good show quality! What turbo system do you have in it?

[Boostaholic]

Hrmm...I posted but it magically disapeared. HRMMMMM....

Anyway.

Spin - I have the GAB Revo Stroke II's on my eclipse and love them so much. The spring rates are entirely different, but they are a wonderful coilover system.

And finally to my goals...

West sort of already STOLE my idea! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> But basically my car isnt fast enough until it can scare the crap out of me so I am a little hesitant to completely floor it AND when I take people for a ride I want them to start screaming like a little girl while they try to grab the ooh shit handle but the g forces are so hard it throws their hand into their face and they start to piss their pants. Bwahahaha. But Im not evil or anything! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[mike]

Well, this is my first nice car, and basically I just want a clean car, with a light body kit and no decals. As for the rest, I'd absolutely love to get some sort of turbo in there, whether it's the ka or the sr I haven't decided yet. But I also haven't nearly the cash so it kind of works out good like that <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> I ultimately want a car that'll surprise the #### out of the kids in the civics with exhaust and clear corners, not to mention the occasional obnoxious mustang driver. (I don't mean to stereotype here, but there seems to be quite a lot of these around my area)

[96SEChick]

Well, I did have somewhat near future plans for an intake, until I got my &quot;booboos&quot; on the car today. Long term--GIVE ME TURBO!!!! MUST HAVE BOOST!!!!:o:biggrin::o:biggrin::o:biggrin:

[vancouvers14]

I want a sleeper. &nbsp;No body kit, no stickers. &nbsp;Just something fast enough to beat the local rice rockets....

and the mustangs and camaros

[Jeff240sx]

Sleeper! 13's! Ricer's not knowing the difference between a radiator and a Front Mount Intercooler.
My goals for my car.
-Jeff
P.S. I hope this don't post twice!

[andwys]

Well I already have a injen intake and a stereo system; next on the list is headers and exhaust hopefully will be done sometime this year. &nbsp;After I pay off the car I will put a turbo on. &nbsp;Ultimate goal is to blow away mustangs and cameros.

[lunatik]

Ultimate Goal: &nbsp;To keep it, and trade it in for a 2003 GTR!!

[Jeff240sx]

ACK!! &nbsp;That 4 door thing, Lunatik? &nbsp;Ewww....

[Boostaholic]

NOOOOOOO!!! The GTR will be a different story. trust me. And if anyone cant afford a GTR, look into the Lancer EVO VII. It will be here in 2003 as well starting at 22000. NOT BAD IMO!!!!

[STOCK240sx]

my ultimate goal is to be able to enter a race with my car and not have any doubts of losing. will this ever happen??? probably not but ####, its my ULTIMATE goal

ultimately..... stable ride good looks..... FAST i want turbo..... but what i want is a fantastic set-up done perfectly with 6 - 7 psi of boost ..... that would be enough for me i think i could get about 200 @ the wheels with that right? well that would suffice for me. ..... as long as its all done perfectly no shady parts.... only the best.... and its an auto but im starting not to care about that n e more

[lunatik]

Nahhh Jeff not the that ugly as* four door crap, the GTR. &nbsp;Boostaholic knows what I'm talking about. &nbsp;When I finish law school, that will be the first thing I buy! &nbsp;

[JJ]

I'd like a car that can go fast when needed, but still be good on gas mileage and be accident resistant. Oh, it'd be nice for it to not look like a spaceship as well. Some nice comfy, but grippy seats'd be good. Can't forget a good sound to the thing.

Ok, in reality? I'd just like to first pick up a 240 for cheap that isn't completely driven to shat.

[J300z28]

my goal is to win over all points in my SCCA solo II class. Hopefully next year will be my year. After that I don't know.

Anthony240, my bad, I just got back. I haven't put the turbo kit in yet, it's sitting in my garage because I'm waiting on the clutch. It's an XS engineering kit. It was a pleasant surprise because it's advertised with a t3/t4 turbo, but when it got here they sent a straight T04. The frontmunt is 24&quot; with the endtanks, which isn't real big, but it fits perfectly into the bomex mouth. It's a rev hard manifold (VERY NICE). I was shocked at how good the quality of this piece is. I haven't even put it in, but I still recommend it because I've been in an auto 240 with the same kit and it was fun fun fun. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[rabbit23]

i want a 300hp daily driver. i am tired of the imports suck attitude in my area. i am ready to smoke some mustangs, camero's, and all other piece of shi* domestics.

[AmericanBornSilvia]

400-500 BHP Sleeper. Engine cutoff. I want to roll up to ricemobile, make my car sound like crap, when its almost green, flip the switch, let out a sweet sounding rev, and just BURN THE CRAP OUT OF THAT RICER.

Thank you =)

American Born Silvia

[LanceS13]

Let's see...my ultimate goal would pretty much be a complete 180SX conversion (except for steering wheel placement) with the CA18DET modded to around 250-300hp, 180SX taillight conversion, lots of suspension mods, a decent sound system, nice mint interior, and a simple body kit and spoiler--something that looks almost factory.

But anyway, my short term goal--like over the next 3-4 years, would be to do about as much as you can do to the KA (NA) to get hopefully around 160-170hp to the wheels; suspension: &nbsp;Eibach springs (ProKit or Sportlines), KYB AGX's, Whiteline sway bars, and STB's; new paint and a tasteful spoiler. &nbsp;With this all done...dominate street prepared category at the autoX's.:biggrin:

[Mephisto]

Have to get a s14 first then, Im going to make it a sleeper with a nice turbo so I can destroy all the kids with z28, Mustangs. And try to keep up with the Porsches and 1 viper in my area.

Nismos14 &nbsp;YOu from NJ?? Do you go up to spring valley to race??

[jer95 240sx le]

Lances13 come to VancoverBC and triy to beat Don &nbsp;that would be my goal.:)

[PSI240SX]

My goal, 11.something in the quarter mile, I want to be kicked off the track for not having a roll cage. Then I will not go to the dragstrip very often because I dont want to be replacing tranny's, diff's, or driveshafts. I will start focusing on trackdays at Sebring and Moroso. Also want to smoke some kind of exotic car, whether it be a Ferrari, Viper, Porsche, whatever as long as they paid like 10 times the amount I did for the car. The engine should be running this weekend so everybody say a 240 prayer for me tonight. Thanx

for my s14 all i need now is my bomex side skirts, c west rear bumper, apr wing, turbo, nos kit, 400+hp, 18in rims, custom blue and smoke grey paint job, sparco racing seats, momo stearing wheel, tinted tail lights, roof cut for targa top, 4 tvs and a few other things... but i will never say my car is done... i love it and will always work on it...

not really cute no. and our cars our still shitty. they take even more money to find a nice one. as the whole fad of "drifting" has gripped everyone

[AndyCs13]

oh the nostalgia

man i wasnt even a member yet, i was still just a fanboy drooling over R34's in 01 even tho one of my best friends got zenki in 99

agreed, my original plan for my car was to make it fast.

now i just dont give a shit. need a car to drive. and enjoy beating on this car just like the whore it is.

[Wake]

I just make sure I buy bone stock ones now, they are rare but I got a perfect piggy coupe for $700, so its possible

[civilized_drifter]

my plans are to get my rb25 running in my 2tone coupe so i can keep another 2tone on the road and not the junk yard

[zenki.life]

i had to pay much more. i payed 2k for a clean ass coupe in san diego. ugh 3 hour drive. kinda sad cuz most of the original parts are all ripped out and replace

[Wake]

mine was all OEM down to the struts and springs, still had the stickers with the part numbers on em, and it was female owned and i got it from the second owner. and yes we need to keep more 2tones out of the junkyards.

i want one if anyone knows of one for sale, green/gray 2tone preferred lol

[viperbite]

I just make sure I buy bone stock ones now, they are rare but I got a perfect piggy coupe for $700, so its possible

werd, they are getting even more rare around atlanta.
