Silvia/180sx Covaerage on Super Street

[Ryan of Velocity]

Bah with the bandwagon crap.

I was doing this **** way back in '96 and I could honestly care less if someone jumps from a Honda or whatever else and wants to build a Silvia. That's their perogative.

The way I see it is, there will be more "Silvias" and less Hoonduhs. I see this all the time at the shop. A Honda guy jumps ship and lands on the 240 bandwagon. But the funny thing is they are doing it to get out of the "ricey show scene". They want to do a car right this time around. Thats how it usually is in my view. Admittedly it's often times perpetuated by the reading of Super Street, SCC, blah blah but who cares.

I enjoy it. I would much rather see a bunch of tuned 240s running around with Silvia conversions than Hondas with fart mufflers and Altezzas.

Everyone complains that the 240 is going to turn into rice because of this but how are "honda guys" or saturn, or whatever they used to drive supposed to learn how to do it right if no one will help them out? If a noob jumps on here and talks about doing a Silvia conversion everyone jumps on their ***.

I'm sure you guys were in their same situation a couple of years ago and even some back in '98-'99 when I got back from Japan and I saw the treads on 240 boards, etc. and I helped out and gave advice to whomever I could (although I don't frequent boards much).

All I'm saying is this, if they are going to jump on the bandwagon why not keep those on the bandwagon headed in the right direction? Plus if enough Silvia conversions pop up I won't have to move my arse back to Japan. lol.

Blah, I'll get off my soap box.
