View Full Version : Hello all~
Hey guys...
I've been referred here by George (don't know his board name) but he drives a 240. Trying to change my interests in bikes to cars due to an unfortunate motorcycle accident that my brother was in.
Take it easy on me when I ask noobish questions about cars as I've worked on bikes only, never cars.
BTW, I'm looking for a 240 under $2000. Don't matter which year and model yet since I don't know yet. Please someone enlighten me by pictures of all the different models of the 240.
Thanks all~! :goodjob::goodjob:

Hey man the only dork here is suprabrit, trust me. Good luck with finding a 240 for under 2k, unless you want a shell no motor/trans.

Ok then, you dont know how many dorks there really are...
Maybe you are one of them since you havent come to a meet yet :thinking:

Yeah probably. As soon as my car meets with Tyler and he makes it all better I'll be out there.

You dont have to have a good car to come out to meets. You will know what I mean when you see slowrolla's car... It has cut corrolla springs on it, and we can make that shit bounce...

Yeah but you cant roll out with a blown head gasket, unless you want to fumigate everyone with oil.

I was going to get a bike when I first got stationed here. Then I saw how Georgians drive on the freeway. You wont be dissapointed with a hooked up 240, they are tons of fun...like fat chicks (yeah I know, bad simile)
thanks for all the warm welcomes....
no, my brother isn't jose. I heard about his accident though from the local sportbike forums. Prayers sent for his family...
I guess I kind of like the 93' hatch 240's. Could some here post of the pictures of their rides so I can decide what car to get? The $2000 is just the number that I threw out there....
My name is Justin by the way...
I'll try to make it to the meets if you guys have any... would love to see some nice cars out there.

mine is a 1995.
btw it is very much so lowered. lol that is NOT stock ride height haha
they made the same body style from 1995 to 1998
except the 1997 and 98 are much harder to find and have a completely different frontend on them.

i really like those.... are those easy to work on? What car would be the easiest to swap with the sr20det motor?

hell yeah 93 hatch ftw!!! (thats what mine is :)
Z infidel
08-04-2007, 04:04 AM
The s13 has the same powertrain man, swapping an SR20 would be the same for either but go for that hatch as its aerodynamics and sexiness are unmatched.
Where can I look for this car? I think I've pretty much made up my mind in getting a '93 Hatch. Are there any other resources than this site?

I found a few cheap project S13 hatchs on ebay but you never know what you are going to get from that website. The bodies are straight but the motor probably has to go.

haha thats funny...
Our group has a rule that says riders must wear leathers to join. No t-shirts and flip-flops here, bro...
great advise tho... too many squids running around with just a t on... :screwy::screwy:

I ride a '99 Suzuki Hayabusa with the big-bore 1397cc kit. This is the only secret that I'll reveal online but there's plenty more done to it. It power wheelies third gear with ease...
Oh and the 1999 Hayabusa's are considered the "collector's item" because of its unrestricted motor that reaches 220mph.

220 is that it? lol
carlova78
08-05-2007, 03:00 AM
that it??? zack, siir, 220 is extremely fast. and going that fast is very dangerois
Whats the fastest you've gone on it?
what ever the speed was when I hit rev limiter on 6th gear and speedo was topped out. Most bikes are geared higher so that they'll have faster acceleration for loss of top end speed. For me, I had the bike geared much lower than stock. I was at North Carolina last year for the Maxton Mile. I'm a proud member of the Maxton mile's 200mph club. :p:p

08-05-2007, 03:47 AM
dangerous dangerous dangerous
It's so weird cuz going 100mph on a bike seems so much safer and slower than going 100mph in a car....
no idea why that is???
MOOREOFSTEPHEN
08-05-2007, 04:49 AM
Yeah I always wonder that when I ride... and well 100 on a bike is like 45mph in a car lol.

actually, I may need someone to help me replace either the motor mounts and/or the tranny bushings.... the shifter's a little shaky during acceleration and deceleration:thinking::thinking:

why didnt they make bikes with seatbelts? it may be safer that way

are you crazy??? It'll be much safer for the rider to be ejected from the bike when the bike is coming to an abrupt halt such as hitting a guardrail or a car head on. Bike's not a good contender as a firm, stationary object for the person to rely his or her weight upon.

What is the insurance like on a busa? I'm thinking of getting a bike soon, but it will be anywhere from 600-1000cc's. Probably a 600

With an "okay" record I paid about 1200 a year with full coverage including theft.
