good buy, that happens, almost like buying a 240 off a old person.

but first u need to ask ur self what u wanna do with the car.

Im personaly against getting a SR
and ridding around with and mini truck.

please do ur suspension and footwork first , if its ur first FR car. take it in a parking lot and test the limits, u dont wanna find this out on a highway in the rain.

ps
boost ur KA and beat the sh*t out of ur stock SR buddies

i want to eventually do a swap but since it is my first decent car and never got a chance to drift i want to try it. but to get used to the rwd i plan on not doing many engine mods. i plan to try in a parking lot some night but the scene isnt big around here and all u see is **** in cavalers and stock neon sxts riding around. so i have no veteren drifters around here. looks like i got to learn the hard way . but i watch some videos and read other ppls posts but im feeling that to learn to drift its more of hands on not watching.

dont just jump on the drift bandwaggon because theres 8 million other 240s doin they are good for other stuff to, but if you think you will really like drifting you will wanna get some suspension and stuff first,you might wanna try something less painfull on the car tho.

ohh and i got my 1995 240 sx SE for 600, but there is a good reason, so im seeing more and more cheap 240s

Check out Beaverun, its a track about 45minutes north of Pittsburgh. They offer a variety of motorsports from beginners to pros. Last time I checked they also had a drift program. Their website is www.beaverun.com you should find some info there.

nice man! Can't wait to get some pics.

My advice, don't fool around until you've been driving it for at least a month. I've been driving mine for 3 months and i mess up all the time. Its part of learning.

Also, if you must get into drifting, practice in safe, open, un-inhabited areas. IE: Industrial park parking-lots (with no cameras)

... thats what i do. Best of luck man!
