If you have skills you can drift any car. 240’s are not the ideal drift car stock but with the right parts they can be. ---

Yeah the stock suspension on our cars sucks nuts. Rob what are you talking about, boat of a car?? My car weighed 2910 last year and Silvia 1 weighed what 2750??? Not that big of a difference. ---

That was before I pulled all this stuff out. Only thing missing when it weighed that was a/c. But I had an intercooler and a few other things added so it pretty much weighed stock weight. My car doesn’t have all the add ons though like power windows/locks, security, compass/accelometer and random useless things that came on these cars. I have a sf (base model). I hope mine weighs under 2800 this years. ---

well id say the z32 werks alright for drifting…this kid in a white z32 has been comin since we started fridays at bud park…hes gettin better quickly…altough they do seem to wear out front tires fairly quickly becaus of the weight…but cant be any worse than an aristo, cresta, markII etc. heavier 4 door cars…id say give it a shot…sway bars help lots, along with drift pinnapples… ---
