S-Chassis Nostalgia (NO BANDWAGGON JUMPERS!!)

[OBEEWON]

This thread is for the true OG S-chassis people. Enjuku posted up a pic of his drag S13 and it really got me tripping down memory lane...


I would like the people that have aquired thier S-chassis BEFORE all the hype, before they had a honda and switched over, before Tokyo drift, before Formula D, D1, Red Bullcrap, even before Initial D was big in the states.


Now I don't really conscider myself a true OG, more like a Jr. OG. I wanted a 240 since I was 11 or 12, When the S14 came out it was my achievable "dream car".

Post pictures of when you first got your car, sunk wheels and all...Horrible body kits, gay wings, full of that 90's and for some of you fossils 80's styling flavor.

Please if you are brand new, PLEASE dont ruin the thread with a brand new pic. I wanna see scanned grainy photos!

TRUE, ORIGINAL S-CHASSIS LOVERS...
Have at it...

We did something similar to this in the Premium Members Section back in January. Cool Thread.

Here's my submission, though I may not be "OG" enough. It's only 2002.

[OBEEWON]

Sweet, thats what I'm looking for. Ill post mine when I get to my old comp. You beat me by a few years anyway.

[240sxaddict]

i'd post pictures of my car from 7years ago, but I have to get the scanner hooked up haha.

[atutt]

I got into 240's in 2000... I was 13... Obviously I couldn't afford one then. When I finally could afford one, they became what they are now.

Anybody who was anybody in SoCal had a JSPEC.COM sticker on their car.

I can try to find pics, but in elementary and middle school (as early as 1995), my friend's brother had a red pignose s13 coupe that was slammed, had some mesh wheels, and exhaust. It was love at first sight for me.

[undercoverdjay]

Bought from the original owner as seen in pics. My only addition was the enjuku clear signals and the konig impact wheels at the time.

Has since been changed around...a LOT. RHD, S15 front, origin kit, etc etc... But heres reppin 2001 baby.

[SloPokS13]

I wish i could post a picture of mine. I had a 93' coupe,red,auto with the fake convertible top! YES! fake convertible top! i was 18 when i had that car and didnt even know what i had at the time. then i picked up my second coupe from Ken at enjuku. it was a stripped out black coupe with ICW wheels! i'll have to see if i still have pictures of it!

[rps13drift]

2003/2004 status! lol. This is my car when i was a senior in high school. I got the car when i was 15 and didnt even have a license. It had 15x8 weds sport mesh wheels i bought for $75 from a 280z owner and an sr20 swap wich back then was big news!

[fliprayzin240sx]

Damn, I cant find any decent shots...only thing I got are the really old pix I got from Cardomain.

Circa 2000 (The days when finding parts for the car was a fucking pain in the ass!!!)



Circa 2003 (Still pain in the ass finding parts)



Circa 2005 (JDM Mad dorifto parts galore and car got its SR swap)



Circa 2006 (flat black then repainted ) until it was sold end of the year



Painted and when it was sold end of 06




The most memorable shot of the car that will forever be ingrained in my head when I reminisce of the car: (one of the norcal meet/drive w/ Evan, Anthony and the rest of norcal guys)


PS: Who ever took the above picture...THANKS FOR THE MEMORY!!! (thats if he ever sees it, cant remember who it was).

[NeedCAforS13]

circa 2002.

[worangejuice]

My first 240sx I paid $600 for cause the idle wasn't right!
Sweet deal. Paid $900 for these high offset fake-o's w/tires.(what the hell is offset?
I even got lowering springs from eibach. you can see the amazing results!haha
I also got the dual tip exhaust for free from friend.
I thought I was the shit with these rims.hehe.
But hey at least I loved her.
Got this in I think 2003. Kinda read here and there about 240's. Had an Integra before that that was stolen. And before that a '94 Altima.
Jeez, I remember I thought 240's were piles of crap when I had the Altima, like "those things are not that fast,why would anybdy buy one?"hahaha
Now I love the S-chassis.
It was also when Daijiro Yoshihara's "jdm s13 silvia" was featured in a magazine and blew my mind!
Then I moved to California, so on and so forth.
hope I qualify for this, it feels nostalgic.
Based on how clueless I was when I started, and noow the S-chassis has taught me how to work on car's. (like I had a choice! read"tough love")

[kuruptR]

[TUnity2]

Yep, I don't think I've been around long enough to be considered nostalgia, but people who got in the game long after me were posting, so why the fuck not.

Haha so true. I had the silverish looking one. Not sure if Sam came out with a different color (plain white ?)

I got my 1st 240 in 98. Im trying to find pics. Do registrations count because I might have that ? haha

[240trainee]

I know the one I had was reflective white/ silver or whatever.
