2nd Car? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey I was just wondering what everyone's second car was or do they drive their 240 year round?  If so mention if you got an engine swap or not. Thanks

jay · 11-30-2001, 11:52 PM

Nope, I drive my 240 all the time. I love that thing, it makes going to college in the morning bearable. No engine swap yet, just your basic bolt-ons. When I get a turbo / swap I am still going to use as a daily driver. I just love it way too much!

Well this is what it looked like after my sis wrecked it in the rain <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Its (sorta) fixed now so this is what i'll be driving whenever my 240 is in the shop.

mistert · 12-01-2001, 01:02 PM

I bought a beater 300zx.  it's an 88 and beat up but it's so much fun.  The auto will be nice in the snow too.  I drove my baby through last winter and I promised her I wouldn't do that again if at all possible.

S13 Passion · 12-01-2001, 11:18 PM

god #### it... youre so lucky.... i get depressed when winter comes around (and you know how much canada gets snow).  

plus, im not going to be used to driving my 240 in the snow. it will be my first time...... its gonna be sooo hard for me.

mistert · 12-01-2001, 11:19 PM

you got a VLSD though, it wont be that bad, just get some really nice snow tires set up like blizzak's, or something studded. it's worth the couple hundred dollars, and your VLSD will help alot

bing · 12-01-2001, 11:20 PM

WEST...

those 325's come in 4wd too, 325ix 88-91, they arer hard ot find but hey exist.

*LanceS13* · 12-03-2001, 09:33 PM

240 year round :biggrin:...one of the few good things about Mississippi

podboy3 · 12-03-2001, 09:38 PM

2000 dodge neon is my everyday driver, i live 92 miles from work all highway and that is my everyday driver     2000 neon with 50,000 miles, when my 240 is complete and on the road and i live closer to work, about a year until all that shit happens it is new BMW.  

thewholefnshow · 12-03-2001, 09:39 PM

Well the 240 will be year around for now... I can't afford a second car, even if it is a beater... the 240 costs me 2100 a year in insurance, a second car would murder me... but I almost bought an ae86 last week for 650 canadian.. good shape too... idiot didn't know what he had... there was another one some jackoff abandoned in front of my office too...

**West** · 12-04-2001, 01:58 AM

bing: i used to own a 84 318i RWD with a LSD, and the mofo handled better in the snow then ANY FWD car I have ever driven. Id go as far as saying it was as good as any AWD car. I love BMWs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

misnomer · 12-04-2001, 02:43 AM

240sx year round, including the snow. When things get really bad, I'll use my pickup for it's higher ground clearance. Other than that, my 240 will be continuing it's ~80 mile per day commute, three days a week. Poor thing has already taken 20,000 miles since I bought it in April.

yenpit · 12-04-2001, 01:40 PM

91 Civic Si w/ 210k miles, daily driver and autox car!

240sxracer · 12-05-2001, 10:52 AM
