Any advice

[ozzfan]

Any advice for a new drifiter? I am looking at buying my first 240 most likely stock and learning from there on. I know i should find a place large, open, paved, and with nothing to hit, a parking lot would be nice if it has no lamp posts. But is there anything else i should know besides that?

I don't encourage this and neither does anyone else but you'll really learn in the rain on the streets at 3 am don't purposely go out and do it cause you'll end up like me and many others because of it but if you can find big open area like behind a walmart or something thats all the space you'll need

for your car all you really need is nothing i mean get your diff welded or get an LSD i just welded mine if you weld your rear end will chirp you should get lowering shocks and springs or atleast new shocks and struts get another set of wheels your pretty driving wheels and your "drifting wheels" thats why you see most guys riding around with different wheels on front and back and when you see guys with hondas doing that they just wish they could drift

thats really all you need a can drift on the open diff they come with stock (unless you buy an S14 which have a viscous LSD) you just have to pitch your car harder and clutch kick you just have to get out there and practice

oh and PS don't watch that stupid drift bible crap its a bunch of poo you'll never use any of it learn the clutch kick its the best way screw e brake

Heres some real good advice.Buy a Miata.I have watched the 240sx follow the lines of the Honda CR-X. It is very difficult to find one that is not beat to crap, riced out or totalled in general. You realize they don't make these cars anymore?I am not even going to get into the drifting nonsense except to say: Find a rally school. What you learn in the mud, muck and gravel translates very well to road driving. Contrary to what you believe, drifting did not start "high in the Japanese mountains late at night" It's no more Japanese than I am.
