maybe I should tell you guys what I have now. I have a 1990 240sx fastback, stick shift. And I just install a set of Tein S-tech with KYB GR2, front and rear ebay strut bar and an old apex-i cone fiter, got it for 15 buck : ). and my tires are Falken ZEIX 512. other than that my car is pretty much stock oh and my engine has 140000 on it

depends on what you really want the car made for. Do you wanna go autocross and drifting then i would suggest LSD and abucket seat then get some real practice time in then after you get used to the car upgrade the suspension. If your into dragging then throw it in the engine work or a swap. If your into show get the lambo doors and the 10 ft wing (j/k j/k) seriously thought just depends on what you want

well but would a stock engine be good enough to drift? I know any car can drift but I wonder what is the reasonal bottom line. and do you think it is worth to buy a clutch type LSD (700+)? or just get a used VLSD?

Question: How can I spend $1500?
Answer: Depends on how much money you have.

I bet this guy thinks a ton of bricks are heavier than a ton of feathers.

Don't get vlsd, get a real one from kaaz, cusco, nismo, etc. If the body damage isn't that bad, then just leave it. If you're into drifting or autocrossing then the damage just might come back. I say get lsd, suspension, wheels, some type of security system..... with car parts, it really all depends on what you plan on doing to the car, drift, drag, daily driver, etc.
