welcome to the forums. you can do a lot w/ 800. but PLEASE, correct ur grammar, more ppl will read.

Anyway, if you are getting into drifting, you don't necessarily need to buy anything, rwd is enough. Of course, lsd, suspension, power, will all make it easier, but look at the origin of drifting: bunch of poor kids w/ nothing to do.

I would personally suggest spend some money fixing your car back to stock first, like the headlights and such. Do a tune up, make sure everything is working, compression is ok, suspension is ok.

From there decide what you want first:

1) Suspension - very important no matter what you get into - probably the wisest investment for start up - 10yr old suspension isn't in the greatest of shape

2) Power - can vary depending on how much you want to spend, have time for, etc - this can and probably will change a lot -> some ppl build toward only what they want, some ppl buy whatever they can and end up changing their minds and buying more stuff wasting a bunch of money and time (like me) but learn a lot in the process.

Your setup of lsd, suspension, header, etc sounds like a good start up set up.

Take time to know your car. Each car behaves differently. Get used to how the stock suspension works first, take it to its limits -> then upgrade and see/feel the difference.

Sorry guys and gals, but if this guy knows a lot about 240's, he wouldnt be asking about what to get. He would also know his friend if full of it to say no LSD for drifting. And a manual from a pull it yard for $40...come on now.

If this guy wants to drift, he should tell his friend to shove off....drifting in an auto is more of a pain in the *** than trying to rub one out left handed. Spend some money, get your suspension done, then your transmission then worry about power mods. Make sure your car is well enough off to handle the abuse you are gonna put it through before you go adding more touque and power.

a replacement headlight assembly shouldn't cost much more than $50 from a junkyard. I would definatly follor brokeAs240sx advice. Make sure the car is in good shape. WIth any leftover, my order of mods would be thismanual transmission -> suspension -> lsd -> powerbut that is just me.

i sure hope you aren't a native to this country.

you mentioned you want to drift.

this is what you need.

LSDCoiloversSeat

(and this is assuming you already changed to a manual transmission)

with just those things, you will be set for a while.
