ANNONIMOUS(sp?)

 

Hmmm, I guess I will go see it now!!!! ha... or not... cool though.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one. There's not alot of 7's where I live (I've seen 2 in the last year) and everytime I see one on TV, I yell out there's a RX-7! You should have seen me when they had the RX-8 on fear factor. I ran up and down the hall yelling there's a 8 on Fear Factor, there's an 8 on Fear Factor. I tripped on the dog and fell down hurting my knee and got yelled at by my wife to boot!

There's a silverish first gen in the matrix reloaded traffic scene...fast lane, driving away from camera...

 

Jennifer Aniston is a dirty nasty liberal hoe..

Just had to put my two cents in.

 

come on guys, doesn't anyne mention the fact that Jim Carrey is driving an old school Z in Bruce Almighty? sure it was a nasty lookin 2+2 but it was in good shape despite the ugly 6 spoke 280zx rims hehe

 

yeah, i saw the FC, nobody believed me, and anytime i say look, an RX-7! and it doesn't look like mine, they all think i'm crazy, just cause they don't know what the 1st gens look like

 

Just got back from the beach, and at an Arcade there, they had a very old racing game, and the car you drove was a S4 rx-7 25 cents of fun fun fun

LoS

 

Yea saw that when i saw the movie.. of course i had to yell out "Look a first gen RX!!"

Then i got shushed by like 15 ppl

 

yea i saw the FC..............but it sucks tho cuz when i walked out the movie theater somebody ran into to my freshly-painted-red gxl.

anybody see the rx-8 in xmen2

hey you guys..

watch "office space".. theres a nice red fd in the parking lot outside their building throughout the whole movie..

 

Damn, I missed that. I guess I was blinded by all the ugly GM cars in the scene. That was really distracting, though it's kinda funny that 300 GMs were destroyed in that scene. I figured they mst be CGI, but read the sidebar on this page: http://www.lsj.com/things/movies/030...ixbros_1d.html

300 real ones were destroyed! Assuming an average price of $25,000 per car and adding the $2.4M it cost to build the closed highway loop, that scene must have cost around $10 million dollars, 3/4 of which was fronted by GM.

The only other car I remember was the black Audi in the beginning. mmm...

The Rx-8 in X2 sounded sweet

 

double post

 

yeah but GM gives their cars to the movie at COST..

all of GMs vehicles are barely worth 10,000 at cost.. everything else is profit

(well the 10,000 figure came from my butt.. but you understand what i mean.. GMs vehicles at cost are REALLY REALLY cheap)

 

Yeah, it's parked next to Lumberg's Porsche. I love that movie, it's on comedy central all the time.

 

There was a 1st gen on speed channel on a drifting competition, and it was awsome, they showed about 2 seconds of it, and then cut back to the cheap, and crappy 240 SX's and MKI and MKII supra's (better than 240) And then they said that was the only cars the people used to drift in, right after showing a first gin going perfect all the way around a corner.

 

I KNEW IT!

 

PC Load Letter?

What the **** does that mean?

 

hehe thats ALL driver on the drifting clip you saw on SPEED. 240's, especially the old school fastbacks make GREAT drifters which is why it's the most popular car for youth "racers" in Japan. FC's are REALLY popular choices in Japan too but the Silvia is not as complicated to work with and those rotary tuners must be $$ to deal with!!

 

What we call a 240SX ain't what they have in Japan. Called a Silvia I belive, S13, S14, S15 (different yers) They are fast as hell. To bad we don't get the cool **** they get.

 

Well you can import the Silvia motor from Japan and put it in various Nissans.....It's becoming more common around here, but there is some $$ involved. I was actually looking for a 240SX to play around with for a while, ended up with the 7 instead.

 

Yeah, those SR20DET's are the hot engines to get to replace the stock (but torquey) KA truck engine.

 

the KA engine isn't that bad for a daily driver/weekend autocrosser. Aggresive cams really wake the engine up in the top of the rev range and there are a multitude of turbo kits available for decent $$. Together they shift the powerband upward and make BIG gains...the block is pretty stout and will take 10 psi without trouble on say a T3/T4 and FMIC w/ proper fuel. That makes for one HELL of a quick street car w/ torque up the wazoo!!!! I've always liked early 240 fastbacks (SE models).

 

For what it costs to get the Silvia motor, unless I was going to go all out and try and make a true beast out of the car, I would just turbo the stock 2.4 over getting the SR20DET, but that's just me.

I still wouldn't mind having a 240...we'll see how much I like my SE when it hits the road, and go from there.
