If you aren't passionate about cars to answer some questions for new people even when you've answered them a thousand times before then I don't understand the point of being on an interactive chat forum.

Maybe I'm different, but to me part of the lure of the hobby has always been to have open discussions with others who have even the slightest intrest in the same things as me.
well again you are missing my point and at the same time you mention forums which means its right in front of your eyes.

Shall I type in caps to make you realize? THE BEAUTY OF THE INTERNET IS THIS INFORMATION IS HERE FOR YOU TO READ WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO THE LIBRARY OR BUY A MAGAZINE ETC....
USE IT!!!
LOL sorry but you shear lack of thinking brought that response on.

No one here is against discussions but like I previously posted the OP asked some very generic questions. If they had been more perhaps specific it might warrant discussion.

Though how many times have these questions already been asked here? Thousands, like I said before. There are suspension writeups, there are engine writeups, etc.. its all here already.

Oh and I see that you told him exactly the same thing I did earlier, but he kept on going off on people for them telling that in different words.

Thank you for all who helped and advised
And this made me laugh so thanks to the flamers lol
Rage and emo? No, you are now blowing it out of perspective. Put yourself in the shoes of the people that have been here for years and had these questions asked time and again. You would tired of it as well.
When all the info is here for the reading, ya some of us get annoyed that you as a noob do not take to read and learn before asking.

That is all.

Sonny with a chance!
I have a total crush on Demi Lovato.


Btw don't waste your time arguing with drift freaq, there are some things in life that just aren't worth the effort and that is one of them.

As soon as I read the title I knew I would see some ..

SonnyBoy, a majority of the subject has been covered here on Zilvia and other 240sx forums. There are a million ways to go and you just have to do extensive research and analysis. Try making a checklist, calculate the amount of cost, and see which route you want to go with. Some cars have just stock KAs and SR20s with mild suspension upgrades drifting and there are others went with a overhaul of modifications.

Check out what others have on their modification list and perform more research. Learn from their mistakes and educate yourself.

Determine which engine
Which turbo?
Built Short-block?
Built Heads?
Custom intake manifold?
Radiator
Cooling fans
Clutch / Flywheel
Fuel setup (injectors, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel rail, regulator)
Ignition
Exhaust setup
Tune
ECU / Wideband / EBC
Front Suspension
Rear Suspension
Rear end / Drivetrain
Brakes
Tires
Rims
Roll cage
Different Seats
Quick Release Hub
Handbrake upgrade
Large pink dildo shift knob
Fancy ebrake handle
Weight reduction mods
Aero cosmetics?

There's plenty more. 99% of the builds do not happen over night and it just take lots of patience, time, intellectual activity, experience and most importantly cash! If you are dead serious about getting into this sport get involved with it. Show up at the events, talk to people, and get your feet wet by taking your car to the track. Good luck!

That is all.

You know, you didnt have to come to his thread and have to ANSWER anything. If you get annoyed or what not, just simply click the back button.

easy as that. Let the mods do their job, if they think its a waste of a thread and cluttering shit up, let them close it.

Oh and you did not have to waste your time trying to tell me off. LOL


Look I gave the OP good advice to begin with. I was being nice about it. Obviously you him and a few others just failed to read that post. Here let me repost it for you, and next time try actually reading before you try to school me. LOL

Oh and no one considers telling you to do your homework as making Zilvia look bad.
P.S. if he had just read that we would not be on page 2 right now. Oh and as a premie mods expect us to speak up.
