Why I sometimes hate my friends (AKA what did we go pick up today)

why, swifty?

When you need to make a left turn in an intersection, you need to see oncoming traffic. If your on the right side of the car, you can't see jack.

Also a stock S15 is just a stock S15, it didnt' feel that powerful, i didn't feel anything special when driving it.

What about the stock suspension compared to other cars? I am sure its handling characteristics felt great compared to any American car.

I've driven RHD cars and have never had any problems with making turns through intersections.

Actually, yes , a Rev Speed meter and a Hyper Rev Skyline GTS25t book. And Signal is going to be doing the 100k km. service on it (timing belt, tensioners, etc.), which is why the hood was popped. They built his other S13, but it was stolen.

Swifty's right... If you're in the left turn lane and there's someone across from you, you absolutely can't see oncoming traffic (specially if its an SUV).

Huh?

[s13homer]

i thought i saw the car for sale somewhere for 16,000 . i thinks its located in anaheim.

[Double M Star]

Where can I get an S15?

[MoNkEy_MaGiCx]

www.autoconxion.com they have some cool cars there...not legal though

[svtxchinoy]

Wow, thats one lucky friend you got. I've only seen one Skyline here in NY, and it was up on a lift in a garage tucked away. Probably doesn't see daylight unless it needs to be driven to a car show. Not exactly seomthing I'd like to be driving around here.

I thought you were getting something like a turbo, exhausts, suspension, body kits, or a CF hood. You know stuff like that...Since your cars look pretty stock...

Well, one usually tunes up a car that has been sitting and requires a timing belt and tensioner change at its current mileage. It already has a Fujitsubo exhaust... Signal knows what they'll be doing to it in the future, but for now, it needs to run perfect.


CF hood????


Both cars look stock? Wtf are you talking about? A car needs to have a cf hood to look non-stock? Maybe I should put on some kind of a cool body kit!

F-u-c-king ricers in this forum... Jesus...

BODY KITS AND CF HOODS ARE FUC_KI_ING LAME, BRO!

The CF hood was just a suggestion, and most people in this forum are attracted to body kits and CF hoods. Get use to it. Change the way you talk please...

Many people in this forum are under the legal driving age, only know drift and touge from Initial D and things they download n P2P's, and drive domestic FWDs... So, just because a majority likes body kits and CF hoods doesn't make it right. They are lame... They do not enhance performance in any way. Next time you go up to touge in your flashy (insert bandwagon car here) with your body kit and cf hood, and a primered, beat-to-shyte Corolla with 217k passes you, go cry to the majority of people on this forum.

that an alright looking skyline, judging by what every one is saying it seems hard to get one in the USA, big ups to your mate then!

just thought i would add this, just to tease

over here i see any number of skylines a day, heck a guy at my school drives one (big thing because u gotta be 18 to drive in Victoria and yeah you finish school at about 18)

even im getting one

ok il stop rubbing it in now

[Thai Juku]

Look, I wasn't trying to pick a fight and this will be the last response you get from me. And those points of yours...I think you should share them with other people in this forum. It seems tact isn't your cup of tea...

You can always come by the shop here in Dallas. We have 2 and a half Skylines. One was t-boned by a tree *ouch*

[s13homer]

hey chokudori, why are you hating on body kits? doesnt your trueno have one? your the owner of that orange one arent you?

[driftersil80]

How can I drive a Skyline GTS-t in AZ w/out it being illegal (or w/out getting caught)?

[Skillzilla]

Stanton has the bomb go-kart track, with the underpass. I love that place

i agree with u 80% ish, i agree with everything u said but the part about they dont enhance performance in any way.

yess a body kit wont give u 15hp to the wheels, but the do inhance performance. not ur local vis knockoffs, but when i owned my mazdaspeed gtc kit (rip) i could feel the difference becuz ms actually wind tested the kit, so it increased aerodynamics helping reduce turbulance and drag and such helping my car stick to the ground helping me gain speed and such. i dont kno all the physics and stuff but when u can feel the diff that must be sum type of performance part.

also the cf hood on my car deff helps my performance. i have a vmount intercooler in my 3rd gen rx7 and if i had my oem hood than my temps would be alot higher than they are. thanks to all the vents and cooling ducts in my cf hood, they help cool down my intercooler and help disperse the air better

so i agree with u fully on like the vis and all those knock offs, but actually body kits that had time spent on them like mazdaspeed and nismo and the like are very great additions to your car my friend

Yeah, but I'd gladly trade it for a Levin front or a set of zenki bumpers .
