Apparently You don't understand forum etiquette, and I guess I didnt get the point across the first time I layed things out for you, so Im going to go ahead and just repost it here.

All your questions can be answered by searching, and they were all answered in your first thread, yet you chose to make three more.

I will tell you this for your own sake. You have no idea how foolish you sound. You are very lucky nobody is in here flaming the hell out of you.

You use the term dream car.

I pose this question to you, if we give you all the info on how to build a drift car, who's dream car will it be? You need to build your own car, you need to pick out your own parts, and build the car you want to build.

We cant tell you how to build a car, if everyone did that, then every car would be the same.

I urge you, go read through every build thread you can find. read what they did, read how they did things, and read what works and what doesn't. Do some searching, read about different parts, who likes what, and what is good as far as bang for the buck is considered. Its all been done, and there is lots of info on what works and what doesn't.

There is no basic parts list for a drift car, each driver has different preferences. Most guys will tell you a Clutch LSD is a must, where as I feel a VLSD is far better for street duty. Some people like peaky turbo engines, others like low end grunt.

Please stop saying you want 400 hp. You have absolutely no idea what it means to have a 400 hp car. Not only is it overkill, it also drastically increases the cost of everything. A 400 hp engine is going to be far less reliable, especially on track, and the exponential increase in wear on the drive train can easily empty your wallet. If you could afford to deal with these added costs, you sure wouldn't be asking us how to build a drift car for cheap.

Buy the car, bring the motor to factory spec, then leave it alone. Build your suspension, get your braking squared away, and build a drive train capable of taking tons of abuse. Get some chassis parts to stiffen things up, and get a roll bar to attach a harness to. Buy a nice rigid bucket seat and a harness.

With all that done, take the car to every open track day, drift day, or test and tune you can. You need seat time, I don't care how many times you tell me you've street raced, or drifted in a parking lot. You have little or no understanding of how much skill is required to follow a perfect racing line, or hit a braking zone on the mark, much less do all these things sideways. Ask any pro racer what the best thing you can do is, they will tell you seat time seat time seat time. You need to practice, and I don't mean in parking lots. You need to work on your lines, your timing, your footwork, and your car control. These are the things that will make you a good drifter. You cant even touch the surface of these things without a proper track.

While you are practicing get a motor, and start building. Research research research, don't expect a good race engine to come together quickly. It may take you a year to amass all the parts, and get all the machine work performed. Do things right the first time, and you wont end up stuck at the track with a dead car.

This aint my first rodeo cowboy, Ive spent enough time in the racing world to know a thing or two. You can take my advice at face value, or you can act the fool, and walk away.

Suspenion, Get a 2 way LSD. compnay dont matter.Than get some KW Variants or DG-5's.But everything else JDM as you can get. For Engine drop in a rb26dett with an rb25 trans.

Go to the local barnes and noble and get some copies of magazines with any 240 on the cover in the inside.

[OutToWinPAHC]

an ls1 in a 240sx yea ill cry the first time i need to change a spark plug

What? lol there's more room to change plugs in a 240 then the intended F body. Its really not bad.

Its not a point to flame, but this forum has over 100,000 active subscribers. Chances are if you search the topic has been covered. A lot of times when a new 240 owner joins they ask similar questions. Nico is a great forum with pleanty or resources. The best thing to do is search the articles, write ups and by topic. At the top you will see many years of hard work and knowledge desguised as how to and search.
