Splitters are NOT for street cars, PERIOD.

Plywood does NOT work "perfectly fine" either. Plywood is NOT strong enough to hold up to the forces that a PROPER splitter sees. I've got more than one buddy that made himself a super awesome plywood splitter only to have it rip itself straight off the car at high speed on the first trackday. It also wears EXTREMELY quickly. REAL race cars don't even use plywood for wear strips because it wears too fast. We use a produck called Jabrock, which is plywood impregnated with resin and compressed at high pressure. Yeah, that's not cheap either. Plywood is NOT strong enough, and it does NOT work fine. It is ghetto, cheap-ass, backwoods, redneck bullshit.

ONLY in the 240sx "community" is fashion valued so much higher than function. ONLY here is price valued so highly over pride.

Since when is any aero on a drift car actually for downforce. What planet do you live on where you believe any of us drifters actually care about the aerodynamic effects of the cool shit we rivet to our cars.

Well said.

I'm not a drifter. I really don't give a fuck if you care. Your attitude is ignorant and childish. You have no taste. Stick to neon colors and shiny trinkets, good for you. I'll continue to make my car fast and talk about whatever I want. I have NO RESPECT for "drifters", sorry someday you'll grow up and understand...

BTW, go you! Maybe next time you could find an older post to quote...


EDIT: I smell a troll, drifters use zip ties, not rivets...

You have no respect for drifters? I don't think I'll ever grow up and understand.

Why do you own a 240 then?
What do you race at?

There are no spec 240 series that i know of. In fact, I don't know of a single organized race series that the 240sx is actually competitive in.

You act like a fucking five year old to anyone who doesn't like the same thing you do, which happens to be the majority of people on the forum.

It's like joining a forum for Xbox games/discussion and just going around telling everyone that Xbox sucks dick...buy a Playstation.

Get off your computer and lose some weight. You'll have faster lap times to throw in everyone's face.

Racepar1 he is not driving a racecar, he thinks he has one maybe, but in reality he drives his car daily, unlike your racecars that you only use at the track. He explained the reason behind that plywood yet you got onto him because?? That's not how YOU build racecars? Some older people have good advice others are just full of themselves and scream bloody murder every time someone does something different or with cheaper materials than they do on their cars. Shitat least he drives his car often and guess what against the knowledge and acceptance of all your racecar builds and engineering degrees and expertise his plywood has held up daily driving which sees more potholes, rocks, and abuse than your beloved trailer queen... Besides what is jabroc again? Plywood impregnated with blah blah fucking plywood at the end of the day just with a glue coat lol still fucking plywood anywayyou look a it.

Drifting




Drifting is the figure skating of the car world. You dress your car up all cool and go out there and twirl around and get points awarded. Sure it takes skill and practice but it's not the same thing as running a triathlon, going 9 rounds in a heavy weight match or taking a puck to the face mask.

Calling Drifting, (especially the type of drifting kids on this form do) "racing" is like asking Dr Phil to perform a colonoscopy.

Ironically enough, I'm sure 12 year old you told 19 year old me the same thing about this...

[soundboy]

i took a piece of 12g metal and bolted it below my car, to prevent damage to the oilpan and such.

changed oil and took the bish off, works pretty good now

I don't think anyone called drifting racing, but you and racepar seem to be saying you have no respect for drifters and that we should "grow up," I don't understand what the hate is about. lol

I rarely agree with your posts, but you're right on the money. Nice picture selection BTW!






I BLATANTLY over-exaggerate my point of view specifically because it is scoffed at and not taken seriously. You don't necessarily have to apply it to your particular car, different cars are for different purposes. You should at least be able to appreciate the information. Post something about technically correct aero and little fuckwads are still quoting your shit weeks later bitching about how nobody cares. Aren't "you" at least curious to know? You know in case "you" expand "your" automotive world beyond simply the automotive equivalent of dancing someday???

Actually I have no respect for the "drifter mentality" of horde a bunch of shinny "look at me parts", put them on a car, call it a "race car" and then proceed to abuse the fuck out of it, wreck it and tell everyone "it supposed to look like shit - RACECAR!!" and howl about how prices are to expensive to get a "Clean roller" to repeat previous project.

A good example of this is - I don't see anyone in the autocross world needing plywood splitters because they are plowing into cones, destroying their fragile fiberglass body kits or losing control - going off the track (Aka parking lot) and ripping their oil pan off because they are a quarter inch off the ground and hit a curb...

[InsTanCeZ]

That's exactly why drifting is so cool. It's like a car show, except the cars are going 80mph sideways with huge clouds of smoke, sometimes next to other cool cars going sideways. Obviously more accidents are bound to happen while pushing a car beyond it's limits rather than pushing it to the edge of it's limits (going 30mph around a track made of cones). Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy racing, but drifting is just so cool. What's not to like? Drifting just seems a lot more fun than racing in my opinion, and you don't need a powerful car to have fun. All you need is a bucket seat, some coilovers, and an LSD. Racing isn't much fun unless you have a fast car, which requires more money.
