hi all.
im new to this forum but not 240s, i used to be on Zilvia.net a lot.
well this is my story, it was when i has my 97 LE with S13blacktop swap.. i had it for about a month but my neighbor didnt know it was swapped.
anyways, the car didnt have an LSD so the best time to drift was in the rain.
so we have this turn about circle on the main rt. to my house . its large because it was made for the main rt. So i usually drift this circle on the way home and been doing it every night.
well this night back in june of 05 my brother was in the car and it has just stopped raining... we approached the circle and i say to him "oh look theres the circle" before he new it i power-over the car is side ways and all he sees is the inner circle grass median... all i hear is him screaming OH ****S and my exhaust poppin all in 2nd gear... i drift around the circle to the turn out and head home. we get out of the car and my neighbor pulls in right behind us. he says "when did you get the turbo" i say about a month ago i got the swap done, he says "you are crazy dude, drifting the circle with flames poppin form your exhaust, SH*T was awesome!!!". that was so fun.
i have more and will share later.

I have way too many awesome 240 moments.
One day after work, I had an eclipse GST behind me and it was drizzling ( bet most of you know where this is headed. haha.) well anyways I get onto an
onramp onto the freeway and its one of those ones thats basically 360 degrees cause the freeway is above you. Well I drifted that whole damn thing and left
the eclipse trying to keep up with me. He kept understeering and almost sliding off the ramp. haha. He caught up with me on the freeway and got next to me
and kept staring in amazement at my car. haha. Rain + Welded Diff + Cocky Driver = Awesome

My best but SCARIEST moment that i've had in a 240 was when i still had my old hatch with the CA18DET in it. I was feeling the need for speed one night and i was chillin with my friend, well, he convinced me to hop on the Interstate,(witch, here in Virginia Beach is the worst place to speed due to random spots where they filled something in and didnt flatten it down, basically making it a speed bump).
We hop on 264e headin towards the beach, its about 3am, and we're cruising right around 100-110mph. My suspension set up at the time was K-sport Drift Comp. 36way fully adjustable coilovers,(which was set at the stiffest that it could get, and pretty damn low), ksport upper and lower control arms, and ksport inner and outter tierods. Well, anyway, it was 3am, no cars, and i was doing like 105mph when i hit a HUGE bump in the road, we DEFINATLY caught air cause the car slammed down and lost traction.
Well i started to slide straight towards the Interstate wall all the way on the right hand side, so naturally, my friend is screaming at the top of his lungs, and im trying to ****in steer. I caught traction again in the breakdown lane right as we were about to enter the grass. When it caught again it yanked back towards the OTHER side of the interstate and now we're heading towards the left wall, It caught traction AGAIN and we just spun around something like 3 or 4 times, stopping LITTERALY 6in. away from the Interstate wall. I hopped off the interstate and drove straight to a 7-11 so me and my friend could sit for a little while and collect ourselves. We were there for about an half an hour, then promptly left to head back to my house and start drinking HEAVILY.
Then, 1 week later is when my EX. totaled it....

lol....that is the exact reason why we broke up...that and when she realized i was REALLY pissed at her cause i trusted her and was gonna make her pay for it, she tried to skip town and go down to NC,(i guess she forgot that i was REALLY good friends with her brother, who HELPED ME put the swap in and gave her up as to where she was hiding out at), and i filed all kinds of reports and ****. I got warrants issued on her and she got caught and ended up only having to pay like 2k
, go figure.
, go figure.
LMAO hahahahaha thats ****in AWSOME!
