Hello everyone my name is nate i just bought my very first car ever and it is a 240sx and i have known about drifting since i seen my older brother dive into and it has become a dream of mine, and well i just need to know everythinh i can about her so far i know she has a welded diff front end sway bars and a aftermarket intake thats it i need to know cheap and easy things i can do to get her running great and get her faster and well prepared for tracking...any suggestions?

Coilovers, and some wheels and decent tires would be a good start, maybe a better seat, as far as faster, get used to your new car with low power, then go from there.

Edit: This might need to be in small questions thread.

...well im sorry to tell you this but alot of guys on here might start flaming you cuz theres a nubes thread already along with a small questions thread and this might get locked but anyway ill be nice lol but this hobby takes a lot of research google is your best friend. thats probably the best advice i could give you..not trying to be a dick or anything.

i started out drifting with a stock 90 hatch sohc ka motor in it on the weekends and just worked my way up to a 94 vert with a fully built sr20det motor pushing 350hp and a full drift ready roll cage in it and doing events. a welded diff does help and if you have the cash just go hard and buy an lsd(but you have it welded so id just keep it like that). honestly to me its more about suspension save up for some nice coilovers don't worry about power untill you really start getting the feel for drifting and i think its better to learn on a slower car anyway becuase then you learn how to really drift rather then using the cars power as a handicap. thats my opinion.

...but if your brothers drifting why not ask him?

Keeping affordability and your generally stock car in mind:

Coilovers, new brake pads, stainless steel braided brake lines, new off-the-shelf slotted rotors, change all fluids and a basic engine tune-up to start.

Possibly decent condition concave one-piece wheels (used, for less $$$), brand new tires, new tie rods, RUCAS, and a fender treatment such as a roll and/or pull of the fenders. Depending on the aggressivness of the wheel choice and camber,etc., more or less rolling/pulling will be needed for proper fitment. Stage 2.

Keep the power down for now as the stock engine pieces can handle daily driving while keeping money in your pocket. GAS is EXPENSIVE nowadays and you'll want more moolah in your project build purse for newer and/or better parts down the road. Now this last bit is merely a choice and if you want to have power now, then go ahead and do so. To each there own.

These are only suggestions and hope it all helps out. Most importantly, build the car to how you drive it and how you want it to accentuate your personal style. Fuck what the haters say. They only whine 'cause they aren't men. That is all.

If your brother is all into drifting, then why didn't you ask him?

Or, a minimum amount of posts, before being able to make threads.

That's why I haven't started one yet. Besides, there are way too many to choose from anyway....I agree with the amount of posts.
