Right. Facebook is a lot easier. With FB we can at least make events. I hope some of you guys go to the another level car show this year!!

oni jake · 01-24-2014, 05:04 AM

No car shows.

Drifting is coming to Gingerman this year. Keep an eye out for that. Also, we're planning on having another private drift day at Autocity this year.

Exiled 240 · 01-24-2014, 06:11 AM

Dude, make me an offer and I will work with you. Don't be discouraged by the asking price. I would love this motor in motion!!

Exiled 240 · 02-12-2014, 01:02 PM

:/ My buddy did the same thing, he's running on Ethanol tho. Parked next to mine in my garage haha

You should totally buy this motor!

DET240SX · 02-18-2014, 12:02 PM

Hey guys, just a couple of thoughts I wanted to share with the MI members here.

1. I looked for it but, is there a FB group for MI 240sx owners? If not we should make one - or I will. Let me know if there's one or you think it's unnecessary.

2. I'm intending to create a thread to make a list of tuner shops/places to go to source parts (Example: S&G imports for brake components, Murray's - there's one that's still called that here in MI, and etc..) Please drop a line or two where do you usually go for local spots. The reason being, I usually go to Touge Factory in IL for parts, and might go there for Power FC tuning in the near future, but I wanted to know if anyone goes else where near by.

Thanks!

Exiled 240 · 02-18-2014, 12:04 PM

I've been thinking of creating one. Wasn't sure if their would be any interest.

I will look into it more when I have time, or will create one later. I'm still on the fence on this one.

on another note, check out the Michigan Sources Thread I just created

I don't think I've seen a 240sx MI group. Im pretty sure there is a cobalt group lol i don't see why we don't have one. but about the tuner shops ect. i am onboard for that. I've been curious to see if michigan has any good shops for tuners.

Exiled 240 · 02-18-2014, 09:49 PM

I'm about to make a group. Did we want it to be just a s chassis group or should it be open to other Nissan models as well?

I'm down for that FB group idea. Let's make it a 240sx group, and i'm sure everybody and their mothers will bring along some Z's and Quest's with them

PoorMans180SX · 02-20-2014, 12:33 PM

Anddddd then everyone in the midwest will join and defeat the purpose...

Exiled 240 · 02-20-2014, 01:24 PM

That's why you only add people in Michigan

Let me know when you do man.

Spring meet up for sure. I have to make my car somewhat street legal first and add crap I don't need.

I can just use hand signal no?

just like people on their motorcycle? lol

Exiled 240 · 02-20-2014, 06:17 PM

Group has been created! Look for Michigan S-Chassis

Hey guys I just found this today too if you're looking to drift. http://michigandrifting.createaforum.com/index.php

Skidward · 02-24-2014, 06:10 PM

I was born in Ann Arbor but, that was 50 years ago...For better or worse, I consider myself a
Californian now after being out here for some 4 decades. I still am grateful for my roots and Mid western sensibility though...

bpat · 02-24-2014, 06:28 PM

Actually pretty cool to start a group like this. hopefully it will grow and grow where we could have meets or whatever. lol maybe someday. But does anyone have driveway space around farmington/livonia? My 240 is getting kicked out of the garage on march 7th and have a tiny driveway lol. It would only be until it warmer and potholes are fixed.
