The whole 240/dorifto scene is getting pretty retarded, so I'm thinking up a new plan.

I'd like to purchase a rust-free B12 (I love the brick front end & body style) 4 door sedan, shoot with with a coat of alpine white, drop it on some type of coilovers, add some red watanabe-style wheels with a chrome lip, and power it with an SR20VE.

It sounds pretty wild, but I'm wondering just how possible it would be. Ideas?

for a big car to drift u really would have to put in adjustable arms to compensate for the drop in height, and the upset in camber. aswell as a locking lsd rather than a welded standard diff.

^^^well he is saying he wants to steer away from the drift scene, so im not sure what conversation you where listening to.

i like the b13 body style better personally.

also remember that the SR20VE is kinda hard to find.

thats ma bad, but I assumed that he was fed up with the 240sx drifting scene not drifting in general.

its hard to drift front wheel drive if he goes b12 (or AWD). its not impossible but hard.

It's ***-dragging, not drifting, if you're in a FWD car. That's another argument for another day though.

Anyway, I wouldn't go B12 here. It's not a drop-in-and-go swap in a B12. Use a B13 and either get an SE-R or use the GA-SR sticky. A bolted/cam'd VE in a B13 would be huge fun.
