And this is saying that they made 40,000 more Zenki's (not counting verts)

Seem accurate to me. At least 80% of the s13's I've seen for sale and/or in junk yards over the last 15 years have been 89 or 90's. Very rare to find one still with a single cam in it

Is that really that bad? Real wheels, SR20, kept the sil front, unique aero that doesn't fit poorly, one color, drifts well. The yellow is a bit much, looked best in pink but w/e.

Julio is one of the people I truly respect in the 240 community. He actually drives his car to every event he goes to and he does A LOT. He keeps it real by trying new things and not following trends. His Pink paint job was my favorite for sure. But the yellow with silver front was unique as hell. A little odd looking but hey at least he is being original and not replicating anyone else.
He is also an DAMN GOOD driver. if you havent followed his youtube stuff do it.

Yeah, I don't see the problem.

Sure his car is pretty ugly now. Sure he's wrecked a bunch.

But he's fixed it.

Compare that to all the trash Monkeys that brag about having wrecked 15 240s, rocking drift missiles and parting out cars rather then fixing them,

Add the guys the rag out their 240s with zip tie bumpers, bash bars, stripped inteiors, mismatched panels, that DON'T even drift their cars.

Aero does fit poorly. One color doesn't mean much if you hit it with a blowpen you got from a TV commercial.

Dude this is a slippery slope if I ever saw one. What will be the bare minimum for 'decent' in a few years with this mindset...

So the car is one color which negates the fact that it's either rattle-canned or one step above that in terms of paint quality? The front bumper is hanging off and the panels fit like shit. I don't like BWave/Veilside, and I don't think anyone really does. They just want you to yell 'UNIQUE' from the mountaintops for them. I'm also not posting because I disagree with the aero, it's the execution.

'He keeps it real by trying new things'. Have you ever seen SLC Punk? By trying to hard not to conform you're conforming to this nonconformity. It's like being consistently inconsistent.

Trying to be different so hard is cringe as all fuck...but yeah man the painted over headlights and side markers is revolutionary. So unique. For the record, I'm not calling into question his character. If he's your friend, then that's cool. Good for you guys.

If I'm missing the mark here, y'all are confusing me. Is Dookies majestic cool now, too? Fuck...

lol yeah. I mean if you take the car as it is now and just don't do it on a lunch money budget, I STILL wouldn't like it but I wouldn't post here. SH fucked up when they hired that weirdo Ron Celestine (as if they weren't already kinda lame before) but the bar is so fucking low. I think the biggest thing is people accepting this car as something to strive for. The kid might be nice, he might be a great driver, but the car is not 'nice' and I don't see the point in an article telling me why it's so #UNIQUEBRO.

Spoiler Alert: The cars here in Japan that undoubtedly served as the influence for this car are shitty as well. These blogs just finesse you with the camera angles and Photoshop.

Nah, I agree with dizza.

Aero doesn't fit and $200 thrown at a decent PDR guy would make the car much better.

What's up with the octagon steering wheel...

Classic straw man. I think that those diehards are cringe as well, but that's not what the point is here. The point is flocking to these 'OMG SOOO UNIQUE' kids does not mean the car is 'good'. If I paint Michael Jackson on the hood my car (freehand, rattlecan) and throw some obscure aero on, I do NOT warrant a ton of praise for being ZOMG DIFFERENT.

NOW, WHAT SAY YOU?

the steering wheel is probably something like this...(s2000 from 2fast 2furious)

man that thing is SUCH a mess. If you ever get a chance to see it up close (Its on display at the Peterson Museum in LA) you'll see how shabby the build quality is. Good enough for the movies tho! Wonder if it still has $100k under the hood. . .

jedi03 · 01-29-2021, 09:23 AM

I don't think it does or ever did...iirc it was basically a supercharged s2000 with not much more then some looks added for the movie...
