Be very careful when driving your lowered 240sx!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

marryson · 10-14-2012, 11:29 PM

Just a heads up, be very careful when driving your lowered 240sx. or any lowered car for that matter. This happened to me this afternoon. I was driving on the right lane with no cars in front of me. and the left lane at that time had a huge line up because some left turning car up front is blocking the left lane. as I was driving down this empty right lane, a big F150 pick up truck from the left lane pulls out in front of me. Im pretty sure he couldnt see me because of how low my car is. I had to brake real hard and swerve a little to avoid hitting him. thank god for my new Eagle GT tires. Drive safe everyone! big cars + bad drivers = killer for us.

same thing happened to me when i was driving my old civic with cut springs in a 2 lane going one direction. motherfucking 2wd truck was driving side by side with me and out of nowhere he speeds up and tried to cut me off. his back truck was still aligned with my driver's door. i had to swerve to the right. fucking scary as fuck!!!

Matej · 10-15-2012, 01:26 AM

nismoracingsx · 10-15-2012, 06:23 AM

seriously doubt a few inches made the difference for you

Darren · 10-15-2012, 07:14 AM

you don't need to be lowered to get this... people in bigger trucks usually don't bother looking and when they do, it's just a glance...

Just drive defensively and install a train horn... that'll fix 'em

This should be a sticky in-case anyone on this forum decides to lower their car.

Punished · 10-15-2012, 07:49 AM

This is better than I expected..... I was awaiting an awareness message about speed bumps cracking front lips.

bigs · 10-15-2012, 07:52 AM
