Sounds fine to me, can gut it and piece together what we need.
Just need to find a way to get it to the events.

if you buy the 240 you will spend money either way, BUT you will be less hesitant and more aggressive when driving the 240 at events compared to the 370z.

here's a pic of mine.

hated1, what would you say is your total expense with the 240 including car purchase price and mods.

HATED1 · 03-08-2011, 01:32 AM

between $13,000-$15,000, however i was at events since 2003-4ish when prices of engines and everything was at it's peak. I have been out of the game and sold that car a couple of years ago. Went to a base 350z, changed the stock diff to a 2-way lsd, any changed out to coilovers, and rear camber arms to correct the alignment. I thought that was good enough to start the 350z off, however one thing i did not anticipate was the stock clutch not holding up, or rather getting warm and becoming "soft".

That being said if you are interested in just seeing if you like drifting, take out the stock 370z to an enclosed environment where there is nothing you can possibly hit and give it a try.

You will find out that when you purchase a 240sx, depending if you buy one stock or modded, you WILL find problems with it and will question reliability, then your "track car" will end up taking more money than anticipated or more than you were willing to spend.
