PLEASE dont try to drift your car. I have a lot of expierience driving 240's, and i still almost total my car everytime i try to drift.-that car is gourgeous and the last thing you want to do is to is have to find a new 240 because you totaled your last one (like me). The last thing i want to her is another amateur horror story. save the drifting for the PS2.

yea drifting is easy! - doing it without hitting something or someone ,or going off the road is not.
- go for the an in n' out package - a nice intake and catback will do wonders.

Drift the **** out of the s14, don't listen to the whiney babies who want to showboat their ****, drive it and drive it hard (on the track of course, street drifting/racing= fail). Learn how the car handles stock first, then worry about upgrades.

Well to get you Started. Suspension, Brakes, Wheel/Tire.

"Theres no Leet setting for Drifting"

Drift it! First is it a manual???? I know how hard it is to find koukis in manual. If its a auto, you know what to do......SWAP THE TRANNY ($500 est). But if you have a manual already then focus on suspension mods, intake and exhuast dont really do anything for the n/a ka24de so stear clear from that. Also LSD is very very very important, you decide what you want (vlsd,1.5,2 way, helical) I dont recommend welded diff.
