I had an 85 nissan truck 5-speed (extended cab) w/ a custom wood bed Which was only coated in a clear coat stuff (shelak??), and some after market 15x8 Bullet hole brushed aluminum wheels.  There were two Grey  Power Bucket seats from an 80 something Corvette bolted in place of the previous seats (Talk about some Great seats.. mmmm.).  And the trim inside was painted with that Texture paint in a green/white/grey color.  The front end was lowered, and it had been painted with a brush a dark blue.  So there were random runs in the paint.  Me and my friend put some custom grey Pin striping on it too.  The back windows had tint in them that had turned purple from age, and amonia.  Super phat dope ride yo.  I had SOOO Many memories in that car.  

I ended up Blowing the engine racing an integra on the highway.  I was doing about 115 for about 5-6 min.  I was blowing TONS of smoke.  It wouldn't stay running unless I kept the gas pressed.  I got home and looked under the hood, and the water pump was literally Hanging off the front of the motor.  Needless to say.  No more coolant in engine.  The top two bolts were Sheared off.  (hard to make up an excuse to my parents)  Mecahnic checked it, and I had lost ALL compression on all 4 pistons.  We replaced the engine and she never ran the same.  Sold her 2 weeks later.  Poor baby.  I miss her.

BTW-  I beat the integra.  (it was an old one)

Gismo R · 03-01-2002, 02:17 PM

Black 1994 Chevy S10 Super Sport. Had a Vortec 4.3L V6. 3 in. drop in the front, 5 in. drop in the back, with some 16x8 chrome wheels. Only mod to the engine was a drop-in K&N air filter. I loved the truck. Nothing ever went wrong with, except the alternator went bad one time, no big deal. I gave that truck #### too went I first got it. Power braking (put out hella smoke), donuts, you name it, no off roadin' though. It started to lose a little power before I sold it. I was irresponsible, not changing the oil regularly and stuff (shame on me, I know <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> ). I bought it in '97 for like $8,500, then trade it for my even more loved and better taken care '97 240sx SE. I got $5,400 for trade in three years later and it had 125,000 miles on it! I thought that was pretty good considering another car lot was only gonna give me like $3,200 for it.
But even when my S10 SS was running good I don't think it could hang with my 240sx.

1990 Nissan Sentra "Sports Coupe" odd how it was called a sports coupe cuz it was a hatchback... and I couldnt find any sport in the #### thing either. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Fun little car though. It was like new when i got it. 50k miles, not a scratch on her. Weak ass 1.6L 5spd. like 90hp I think. But ####, Those E-Brake slides were hella fun. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

240sxspeedracer1 · 03-01-2002, 04:40 PM

hey EONE, seems like we have somethign in common.
I also had a chevy cavalier
I also had no A/C
I also had no heat
it was a 90 though, and I never found out how many miles the son of a bitch had, cause the meter was fucked up somehow.  
I would drive around the block, and it would add miles to my shit.  That peice of shit would brake down once a month at least.  The death of it was when the #### head gasket blew.
The funny part of that car was it didnt have a guage to tell me if the car was hot or cold.  I never if the car was ready or not, what a hunk of junk.

A 1990 Subaru Legacy four speed auto. Big ugly station wagon, but suprised people with the power it had. It wasn't AWD, but I took corners like it was which I messed up the CV-boot a couple of times. It also had no a/c and leaked from the sunroof, but all and all it was an okay first car.

1995 240sx current car and loving every minute of it!

s13cruzer · 03-01-2002, 05:09 PM

HAHA! 87 chevy cavalier no acv but i did have heat that never heated up enough to use before i actually got somewhere , it also had some hippy shit painted on it , so do i win a prize or something...

mike240 · 03-01-2002, 05:53 PM

well,  it was just my mom and me at the time and we had two vehicles but we swapped them out every now and then so it was either/both:
1985 jeep cj-7 or
1985 fiero GT (2.8L v6)  even tho that car had mad problems it was still pretty fast and it made an awesome exhaust note.

rabbit,  i would love to have an old 240z.  i bet you did have a lot of fun with it.  would love to find one and restore it and put a chevy small block v8 in it.
