I bought mine 2 years ago…almost to the around this time of year. Didn’t know what drifitng was… just wanted another cheap, fun car with some decent aftermarket support. At the time I was also looking very seriously into DSM’s ---

Whenever I registered 😃 I knew nothing about drifting, but I wanted to put an S15 front end on it and be a baller. No lie, search my old posts, I wanted to be the pimp with the S15 front, and smoke every domestic I ran into :lol: I’m sure there’s a thread by me asking where I can get an SR20, and another one asking about how to do an S15 front conversion. ---

I’ve had my car for about 5 years as well. But ofcourse everyone is gonna sign up to be “cool” now that drifting is “mainstream”. ---

I wanted one way back in high school (7 years ago!), but I couldn’t afford it. I didn’t know what drifting was till about 2-3 years ago… sadly, I bought my 240 in the middle of this drift craziness… ---

I powerslid my car on the first test drive with it. :oops: Wanted to see how it handled…never intended on a drifting career or anything though. Owned since Sept. 2004, wanted one since 1999-2000 or so. Just always liked the look of the fastback. ---

My first 240sx was a red 1991 SE Hatch w/HICAS and OEM Aero. Bought it in the summer of 99’. It was the day’s when taylor wires were the hot, SR’s were Rare (got a ride with James, black 91 hatch with a redtop) 6spd’s sucked for drift (didn’t know what it was) and some of you kids were still in elementary school. Oh and for those old schoolers, SON240sx Yahoo Groups! ---

I got my first 240 over 2 years ago now, I knew what drifting was but the hype had’nt caught on at that time. I was one of the last people around to not pay too much for their car. $600 for a rust free florida car hahahaha suckas. This was back when you still didnt see 240’s at shows and rarely in magazines. Those were the days. ---

I joined SON right after we moved to this forum, and I bought my car the previous spring (2001). I picked it because it was RWD, cheap and looked cool… that’s about it, I hadn’t read anything online about them. ---
