Thats great. Enjoy your opinion.

I'm such a born moron that I engineer multi-million dollar structures for a living. I'm not your average 240 owner that thinks drifting and stupid negative offset wheels are the only things in life worth living for.

Would it be crazy if I said I was looking into buying one?

Naturally I'd want to read up on them, which I am doing secretly from my Super Cockmaster 10000 computer while my 240 does drifting in the parking lot running over old ladies listening to whiney emo music after I got off my labor intensive 4 hr. shift at Blockbuster.

That and I have done work on 951's.

sure it's a no brainer, they're happy to write the policy but how they handle the payout for the claim is the is the question we're all wondering about, whether $35 or 60k, how will they hose you to beat you out of it.

insurance companies aren't stupid, if they can beat you or defastest out of the claim, they will.

I wouldn't say its crazy no, but then again its hard taking advice from someone that may or may not have done mods to a 951.

240's are cool, i just don't like the crowd that comes with them as rock eluded too.

Porschefile

He's a friend of mine and has helped me with my 951. He has alot of technical knowledge, and tons of experience with cars in general. The thing some people don't want to acknowledge around here is that a Porsche is still an automobile like any other and conforms to the laws of science and physics. True, there are differences from the average Corolla, and those differences might take some out of the ordinary knowledge to work with. However, what applies to most cars generally will apply to ours, regardless of the badge on the hood. Some people are so wrapped up in the "mystique" of our cars to the point where they ignore the obvious. Heck, cars that have only been out for 3 or 4 years have already far surpassed us in many performance areas and we've had a 20 yr head start!

Wow, Rock. This just concludes my theory that all car groups have a$$holes (even Porsche groups). You're only playing into the elitist stereotype man. There are plenty of 240sx owners that aren't retarded drifters.

Sorry to get OT Joe.

I had a problem with him jumping into threads based on specific questions and giving bogus answers...

In response to Dan P's question about wheel fitment for track, Dan gets this response:
Or when IPSC asked if new chips are necessary when installing a larger turbo, his reply was:

Is that your idea of constructive advice? If he was working on your car, I'd hope that was limited holding the flashlight.

Great, I'm sure anyone could dig up 2 posts you have given that weren't completely concise and to the point. C'mon man, you are just looking for a reason to dislike me, and create this mob mentality.

Porschefile

This has been explained to you, but you refuse to listen to reason.

Driftomagnifico

I've installed suspension, exhausts, intakes, prevented one from exploding, and answered about a literal 5,000 questions regarding one ranging from determining spring rates, to engine parameters, to diagnosis, and telling Porschefile that his car didn't need all that convaluted boost control bull**** when he first got it hehe.

I may not own a 951, but I've put in some time talking about them and working on them. I think I'm just as qualified as the next guy, but to some people I never will be because I don't own one. I was a Mazda mechanic for a while, but I didn't own a Mazda at the time, so I guess I didn't know what I was doing then too. Oh well.

You are more likely to find an idiot in the 240 community than the 951 community I will say that much. Then again 951's aren't as cheap or popular of a platform either. With all the drift craze alot of people are trading in their Honda's for 240's and putting them off in the ditch or corn fields attempting their rendition of Initial D.

So you engineer Walmarts?

Driftomagnifico

Hahha, I wish... those would be easy considering it's a giant square building.

I engineer alot of hotels, large custom homes, some commercial buildings here and there. Mostly residential homes, tons of tract builders (DR Horton, Tandis, KB Homes, etc.).

Oh and I'll take a guess that you were enjoying a Porter in that avatar. Possible London Porter, as it doesn't look nitrogen pushed.

Rock

Oh wow yeah that is pretty neat stuff. I cant engineer my way out of a paper bag .

Lol! No, it might look like a dark ale, but Ernie is actually enjoying a diet pepsi. Hard to tell from the pick.

Driftomagnifico

Ernie is of drinking age, he should be enjoying a fine ale. Diet Pepsi is bad for you

"As for dfastest's car... the 10% increase every year is not a reflection on euro hotrods and 951's within that market. 951's are not collectible. At all. They are not old enough, rare enough, or historically significant enough."

Less than 25K 951's were ever made.... in the world. So how many are still on the road of those?

And they are all coming up each year as being 20 years old, which in my state, deems them "Collectable" status. I think "Classic" is at 25 or 30 years.

Just to put that 25K of 951's ever made into perspective. They make about 25K Corvette's EVERY year.

Driftomagnifico

You can't argue exclusivity. I used to own a car that was one of 2200 for that year, I bought it for $2400.

That kind of stuff only works for rare collectable cars. I mean you can argue a Peugeot 406 is worth alot here because there are maybe 20 left running in the US, but we all know thats a joke.
