S13's on Discovery Channel's "Street Racing" Documentary - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

xS1LV1Ax · 02-02-2004, 07:21 PM

I was just watching The Discovery Channel (Monster House/Garage). And saw a commercial for a Street Racig Documentary That is supposed to air Monday Feb. 9 at 9PM. I saw plenty a S13 in that commercail. Did anyone else see that?

RBBaby · 02-02-2004, 07:34 PM

no. only you saw it.

xS1LV1Ax · 02-02-2004, 07:35 PM

It just showed again

Bone · 02-02-2004, 07:37 PM

I just saw it but not sure how Hondafied its going to be... Looks like it could go either way. I'll probably have to check it out Monday just to make sure........

werm · 02-02-2004, 07:40 PM

what time zone? Hopefully pacific

I get off work at 9pm cst and it takes me 30 minutes to drive home.

DoriftoSlut · 02-02-2004, 07:47 PM

no worries. They show tyhem iirc 8p, 9p and 10p, then again 11p, 12a, 1a. I know because i used to have school late on mondays, and now im usually out late working on the car. and they stay in order. So you can miss the first show, cath the last 2 in the normal times, adn then catch the replay of the first one right after the last show, if that makes sense.

xS1LV1Ax · 02-02-2004, 07:53 PM

Im on the east coast so i assume its EST

DoriftoSlut · 02-02-2004, 08:01 PM

Shows air at lets say... 9pm EST/PST. Meaing on east coast 9pm, show comes on. West coast, 9pm, show comes on. CST and MST are not included. They are either 1 hr or 2 behind the PST iirc. Hawaii is 2hrs ahead of PST on network TV, but concurrent with the PST schedule for Cable. Its REALLY weird. I took a class of videography back in the day and it was all explained. But that was 6 years ago 9th grade.

s13andy · 02-02-2004, 08:55 PM

dood i just saw the commercial, that show looks so bad.

nocomedown · 02-02-2004, 09:11 PM

yea i thought i saw an s13 or two on there, too. how bout that escalade on MG. gotta love that bigass grill

andrave · 02-02-2004, 11:44 PM

anyone wanna sell me a chea used vcr, doesnt' have to play tapes, I just need it to get cable! my shitty TV only gets like 10 channels without a vcr.
:-(
discovery is not among those 10 (but I get like 100 with a vcr, including speed and discovery).

ryan hagen · 02-03-2004, 12:10 AM

hmm, sometimes for these street raceing things they get soem huge retards taht are willing to get them selfs video taped, it be sweet if they did a under cover one, or at least with car people so they can filter out the retards.

matlock · 02-03-2004, 12:24 AM

Yeh, I am sure it's probably about as good as any adults portrail of that new fangled "Street Racing." I will probably still watchi it though

christopher · 02-03-2004, 12:26 AM

I will have my brother tape it for me...

DuffMan · 02-03-2004, 05:09 PM

The mtv street racing documentary that was on a couple years ago was stupid, but in a entertaining sort of way, so maybe this one will be too.

HyperTek · 02-03-2004, 05:27 PM

i used to work for a body kit company and i remember they sponsered some chicks car for the show... seems like its gonna be rice to me..

Does anyone else see whats wrong with commercializing street racing? I mean its illegal, you dont see shows about people doiing drugs and how they get thier money to buy it etc... Its just gonna bring more people into it and eventually collapse..

Shows about drugs maybe not. Music on the other hand...

Well music is something positive. I just hate the fact of people that never touched a car before all of a sudden try to do something with cars and mess everything up.

aa87 · 02-03-2004, 05:41 PM

Looks like its about hondas and DSMs.

*DSC* · 02-03-2004, 06:44 PM

When I watch shows like that I get even more scared to drive every day...

On that note...the other day I saw the same car that almost hit me street racing at 100+++ over a year ago. Just brings back all kinds of memories, so a "big fuck" you to any "racers" on here who have ever had a close call with a non-racer.

nightwalker · 02-03-2004, 06:54 PM

When is it going to be on? This will be interesting to see.

Dude... you didn't even read the first post? It says "That is supposed to air Monday Feb. 9 at 9PM."

[/QUOTE]

[lol, i am a adult, well kinda, there are alot of older people than me around here, i dont think street racing ahs chnaged much other than it might be more organized with cell phones and shit. the guys i work with sometimes are like 60 and they talk about racing muscle cars in the parks in appleton, and a couple places in eau claire and milwaukee, it used to be who could get the fastest lap in the park, and drag in park's lot.

andrave · 02-03-2004, 10:04 PM

your dads street raced, hell even their dads probably did in some form or another...
as long as you have two cars and two egos its gonna happen.
might as well take it to the track and really enjoy it as far as I'm concerned.
But I admit to hitting the streets now and then. Anyway I wanna throw up a hooray to zilvia. a member PM'd me and his sending me a VCR (with remote) that doesn't play tapes anymore for the price of shipping. does this forum rock or what?
now I can watch cable again! I rule!

SimpleS14 · 02-03-2004, 10:04 PM

I will watch it just for the heck of it....because I know after that I can watch "The Inferno" on MTV.

xS1LV1Ax · 02-09-2004, 07:11 PM

Show is GHEY, who noticed the guy saying "240, 240??" the subititle said "$240" what idiots. they were racing the 240. But who noticed the r34 and s15 (i believe) inside apexi?

niss · 02-09-2004, 07:46 PM

i believe that the show is gonna be like a monster garage competition. 1 team to build a gsx eclipse and another team to build a civic. this will be to race in an 1/8 mile race. Lanny Higa is one of the mechanics for the honda.

SimpleS14 · 02-09-2004, 09:10 PM

haha...damn...I missed it (had shit to do)....guess I will catch a re-run some time.

Yeah, I saw that and laughed pretty hard. So much for the research put into this show. Yeah, inside the Apex'i shop there was a bad ass white r34, a s15 and a 350z. The entire time they were working on the pos civic all I could think was "Please...please, just show/talk about the cars behind you!"
