why did you do all that blue shit on the car? didn't you think it looked better when it looked clean and stock in all black? you're not going to paint the vs-xx wheels when you get them too are you?
did you get the car with the two spare madel septems? |

ok i am incensed about this... why do so many norcal people buy perfectly fine 240s and proceed to just turn them into heaps that are just more and more indicative of the "norcal style" that people now associate with all 240s from here? when you work on a car, you make it better, not worse...
before:  vs after: before:  vs after: or if you have a goal you're shooting for, at least don't show the ugh steps along the way... |

how do you lose those center caps when they are affixed by a huge locking ring? one that's tightened down by a wrench at that? and the norcal statement was derived from the fact that you list bay area, CA as your location, and that you were at korean starbucks last thursday.
wouldn't you rather have boring red than doo doo blue tho? EDIT: Oh yah i was also informed that this car drives quite fast and recklessly around san jose state univ. to show off the bov, and that it almost ran someone over one time.. tho i'm sure you weren't paying attention and didn't realize you almost did |

that isn't exciting; it is pure crap. that engine bay looks aweful. no set of vs-xx's will make up for that
i don't think this "decision" can be blamed on nor cal. this owner is either a vato or thinks the '85 Toyota Corolla is god's gift to the auto industry. don't blame nor cal for decisions influenced by one's genetic makeup. |

Nor Cal has always sorta been a haven for crappy modified cars. Ideas aren't as good. The knowledge base of doing good modifications has to long of a life line to reach the good stuff. People are spread out to far. It has never been a good situation. People have just never been able to actually get anything done in Nor Cal. Ghetto rigging is like first nature up this way. But also we have this slew of young kids that seem to be able to afford these cars and really have no idea the first thing to do with them except that they want to drift. So they learn how to change the suspension and become pros with a lug wrench and that means they are now seasoned SR20 guru's. When really they can't even properly maintain a KA engine or have the first clue how to check the voltage on the TPS to make sure the engine is even running properly. I bet 90% of these kids don't even know the proper oil to put in an sr20, and the reason why it is proper.
Once the sr20 became main stream, we started seeing junk like this pop up. As soon as it became available for any young kid to be able to afford a car like this, it was bound to happen. I happen to have seen this car get built, and it was done nicely. Proper swap and everything. I was sorta sad to see it go, cuz it was like a good clean example of a proper stock sr20 swap. Am I surprised as to what happened to it? Nope. Do I blame the owner? Not really, it isn't his fault. It is unfortunate he will learn the hard way on such a good engine/chassis. And hopefully it is a positive outcome. But come on man, what is with painting the rubber hoses? |

i dont understand why people put 56k beware when the pics are pretty small, i think anything above 800x600 is not 56k safe. i think people think that 56k safe is like buddy icon size pictures....

some cars in norcal are nice and respectful.. but probably not as much as socal. when i went to so cal for d1, i was amazed to see lots of evos and suburas with te37s and other volks and work wheels. it seemed kinda common. i even saw a 350z with nismo lmgt4s. you rarely see cars up in norcal with volks and tastefully modified. that guys probably right. so cal is bigger with more ppl and all the distributors are down there. but i also noticed there was more rice down there as well.. i guess with more ppl comes more nicer cars and more rice to go around so it ends up proportional. nicely done cars in norcal are rarer because the sample set is smaller.

man, my untainted SOHC looks WAY better than your ugly higher output turbocharged motor thus it must be better.
i for one don't give a dick what the engine bay looks like since i don't build cars to lift the hood n show off the latest JDM powerplant. |

It's not even a matter of showing off to anybody but yourself.. if you have true pride in your work, you won't come up with excuses to take shortcuts in the way you build things. You don't settle for a crappy halfass approach because the true judge should be yourself. Sometimes people who use the "i don't care what other people think" line are ultimately the ones that do care the most...but beyond that, it's also their way to absolve their work and con themselves (and others) into thinking that going halfass is a-ok, because "it's not built to be shown off." But at the end of the day, you gotta ask yourself, do you honestly prefer something (in this case, aesthetically) ugly over something that would look nice and had true time and pride devoted to it, and would most likely function better... even if YOU were the only person to ever see it? By your logic, it's ok when things look shitty to yourself as long as no one else sees it. Hmmm actually, that IS true! And also norcal style.. you guys know what it is...240s with mismatch-colored body panels, silvia conversions with 4 different colors, pre-modified cars that were perfectly fine when bought, and instead of being advanced, instead fall into a lapse of both form and function (i.e. looks and mechanical operability). |

i know it looks crappy... i think it looks crappy myself... but as for the driving recklesslesly, you must've been mistaken...i dont go to state and never come near the downtown area... where is korean starbucks by the way?
anyways..i know the car looks like crap... and thats why its being worked on... i will post pics of the cars progress.. you guys wont be dissapointed again...as for the colors, i was just joking... the whole motor is going to be black... the cars in project still and needs to get worked on ALOT...so constructive critisism is more appreciated than some shit talking... but its all good...
