Clean it up real nice when you get it. Then do whatever you want to it.

well:
1) exterior would be the zenki to kouki and a nice body kit but not the normal drift kit.

2)interior would be momo evo steering wheel,momo F16 shift ****, momo grand prix pedals, momo pit stop ebrake and, momo RS GT Seat.clarion model DXZ855MP cd player and navigation. All in blue and grey.

3)engine would be greddy exhaust and headers, intake, turbo, and intercooler. also new gauge pods.

so, what do you think?

Show and drift don't mix, lol. First priority is getting the 240, no matter what year, in perfect mechanical working condition.

BTW, you're forgetting suspension mods.

fix it up so it runs right... thats where your money should go. After that i'd go suspension. A nice drop will make it look a bit better and will also help performance wise.

If you are serious about the drift the first thing to get is a nice 2-way lsd like the kaaz, nismo, or tomei, even cusco. If you are about show get some wide wheels with some nice rubber so it will also be a performance mod.

I"ve been working my upgrades (and my mech skills up). but basically Brakes. (cuz it's good to stop). then suspension, and then engine mods starting w/ diff, then engine. ( though i did a cheap exhaust and K&N drop-in w/a cut airbox [as good as a cone intake for an NA application like i'm going to have for awhile] pretty early on)

Assuming that your car runs well. I'd say start modding from the bottom up. Good tires, suspension, LSD, clutch, flywheel. It doesn't sound like much but believe me if your going to get the good stuff that works just what I have there will easily cost you over 3K. True enough you won't have as much power as if you invested 3K, but your 240 will start to handle like a go kart. (which is good).
