hey, im plannin on buying a 97 240sx automatic for 7500 wit 86,000 miles. is that a smart choice? i wanna get into drifting a lil. but im not gonna go all out. i no its not that smart to spend that much on a first drift car. but like i said, i wanna drift a lil here and there thats all. not gonna go all out. and how much will it cost me to convert an auto into a manual? man........ iono wat to do... i wanna drift, but the 97 240sx looks pretty nice. but then its automatic and its kinda too much to spend on a drifter. any suggestions?
