    Just a little comparison between eBay clear tails, OEM 240SX tails, and JDM Type-X Tails.
    Hopefully it helped any of you guys out who were wondering the differences between them.

    **So yes this footage is not new, that's because I have a lot of footage that I took from awhile ago that I haven't been able to edit since the episodes take so much time. So now, I'm editing them in order to give "filler" videos between episodes :)

    "Clear" ones look better, the red looks more vibrant and contrasts better with the car. If the "JDM" ones were given a good polish they'd look alright too but it's too similar to a Datsun/Skyline for my liking haha

    Good to mention, that the clear lights have much worse light distribution, than the stock ones, as well as the turn signals on the clears are almost invisible in bright sunlight.
    The last note, you might don't know is, that in Europe only those outer red lamps are used as the tail lights. Inner lamps are used as rear fog lights (or maybe just the left one, I'm not sure).

    is the 240sx a good first car?? i mean in terms of learning to modify it and also use it as a daily driver? im 16 and im looking for my first car but i also want to work on it in my spare time? what cars would you recommend??

    • @OffBeatGarage
      @OffBeatGarage  9 років тому

      SugarBoi Kyle I think it is. Although the main issue with 240's are the previous owners not taking care of them properly and that's what makes them unreliable. As long as you get one that's been taken care of, or that you fix all at once when you get it, it will be reliable and won't have issues for daily driving. Parts are also cheap for them which makes them good cars to first learn on and modify.
      Other cars to consider would be an E30 or an NA Miata or even a Foxbody Mustang. Just a matter of preference, but I like 240's the best haha.

      use the handbrake, use it to hold you in place until you get your rpms right. do it like a regular start but let the handbrake off as you let the cluthc out. watch some videos on handbrake starts, practice it fuckloads this week. gl

      xRam Or you can step on the brake with your right food, and slowly let the clutch out till you see that your rpms start to drop a bit, then you can let go of the brake (You won't start to roll) then just take of as you normaly would.

      Takes about 1 week of purely editing to finish those episodes. And right now I go to school 4 days a week. So two weeks from now means 8 days of school, leaving only 6 left to actually edit which already is less time than I need. Sorry :/

      cocorecord1 The whole bottom section is scraped flat and has a whole in it from scraping the ground so much lol. But yea it's decent quality and sounds good and it's cheap.
