so for a while i was really determined to have the first "stanced out" (or whatever) 3000gt vr4. i ran into so many fitment problems, exhaust issues, not being able to run staggered setups realistically, and overall i just came to the conclusion that it's a twin turbo sports car for a reason, i wanna be able to drive it and not worry about scraping or anything like that. so i sold my coilovers, currently selling the wheels and returned it to stock.
i bought my first 240sx this past weekend, a 1991 hatch, blacktop SR mildly built up, bc coilovers, z32 5lug/brake/rear end swap and a ton of parts (i'd post the whole list up that was in the ad from zilvia but he took it down. i'll get a full list up eventually). she's in sleeper mode right now but i'm really impressed with how quick this thing is on stock boost. i've loved the 240's since i first really got into jap cars when i was 15, and i've always wanted to get into drifting, so i think i have the perfect setup for that and some road course stuff as well. i need help finding some local spots though to practice, i understand the concept and how to actually do it, i just need seat time and some pointers and i'll be set.
anyways, here's some of my goals for the car over this coming winter into the spring:
180sx type x all around (will probably repaint the whole car)
bolt in (4 point) roll bar
recaro's
some decent wheels (i'd kill for some advan model 5's but i doubt i'll be able to afford em for a while haha)
possibly a 1.5lsd?
suggestions?
i'm gonna leave the motor the way it is now, it pulls pretty hard and runs so nice, i'm not gonna bother with it. here's what i have to start with, i'm hoping to get it out at next months LVD event and make an ass out of myself haha i plan on keeping the car as clean and classy looking while tracking and drifting it. i think the 180sx aero and taillights plus a nice set of wheels, seats and the roll bar will have it looking spot on.
here's some crappy iphone pics

wasn't driving hard at all because i was going on a 40 minute cruise... so that means i might deal with the rust very soon. i really need the seat time, plus it gets much better gas mileage compared to my vr4.
