Hi everyone, I just bought a 95 S14 last month and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do with it first. I have plans for the future, but that's when I have more money :pface Thanks!x-Amy-x

Suspension I would assume. It really depends on how much you want to spend. If you are deciding to drift an LSD would be a great upgrade if you don't already have one. The red search button up top will help you find a large amount of threads that discuss the options of suspension. Common set ups are kyb adjustable struts and eibach sportline springs. Searching is a great tool though. :batman

first, do some general maintenance and make sure she's running in excellent condition. brakes....fluids....stuff like that. then, figure out what you want to build up. it all depends on the cash flow. it's all a money game.

Please dont jump into drifting without knowing a thing or two. Pleeease realize that when you are sliding, great stress is put on to your car. Creating things to break. Suspension on the 240 is the best you can get for drifting. Before you start throwing down hundreds of dollars for aftermarket stuff make sure everything is in good shape. Make sure bushings and ball joints are ok. Might wanna buy some polyurethane bushings. Energy suspension seems to be a good choice from what i hear. Get the KYB/Eibach combo. Definately get an LSD if you are serious about this. You can get stuff like anti-sway bars and strut tower braces. Please dont forget about brakes. They are very important, espescially if this is unorganized drifting. Z32 brake upgrade will do.
