Really New to 240's but love em can you help me?

[ManoNegra]

^ Yeah, but that's usually a recipe for disaster, sooner or later it's just a matter of time.
OP lives in SoCal, no excuse for 'street drifting' - there's plenty of events going on all the time.

no it's not. just dont floor it around every corner. if you have powersteering, it's not bad.

go with a welded diff. pass on the vlsd and save your money.

iHeart240, ^^^ this makes you look even more like a Douche (a vaginal cleaning tool), just in case you don't know what that is- especially when you're trying to rip on one of the most knowledgeable members on Zilvia. Oh and have a great day .

Sheesh, why would you spout some bullshiet out of your ass?!?! Do you even know what an open diff is?!?! It pushes power the the wheel with the least amount of traction...so when you ACTUALLY GET A 240, try to drift an open diff, and tell us what the fuck happens when you do. Until then...

STFU

I don't know your meaning of a decent price for an LSD.

I will just say this to you.

Quality over quantity. If you don't know what that means then just think it over and you'll figure it out.

Don't spend your money on crap parts just to save a few bucks. Save the money and spend it right the first time and you shouldn't have to do so again.

A welded diff will allow you to drift but is a pain in the ass as a DD (for some people).

Some LSDs that are well known for their name and quality are Tomei (what I used and love), KAZZ, Cusco, ATS (which there's a sale for on the forum right now at a great price), NISMO, and OS Giken (baller)

I'm sure I miss some other companies but that's the ones I remember.

Also take into consideration that the different brands of LSD has their own pros and cons depending on the people who use them. Everyone has their own opinions. Which is what you should make.

Lastly don't get too butthurt about the flaming its just how it is. You'll come to appreciate it because at least its the honest truth. Stick around, you'll learn alot from this forum.

GL

Yah thanks im not getting to "BUTTHURT" about it i see how it is. Yah i have learned somethings like i guess if u dont research good enough and you ask a question u get flamed on like crazy lol.

translation: "well if I had to just had to pull something random out of my ass I would have to guess that that thing that I dont understand works better than that thing Ive never used based on some logic that I just made up...and what i learned inv10th grade sience"

That's really a matter of opinion more then anything. To some it might not be bad, but others might not like it. The OP didn't say if it was a track only car or a DD I don't believe. I'm referring to the skipping your tires around turns at low speeds that some might find undesirable for a DD car.

For drifting like he said he wants to do, I agree welded > VLSD. But if say you autoX, VLSD > welded. So I've been told. I've only had open and VLSD in for autoX. I know I need a real diff though.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Here's the deal: we've all been noobies at one point in time. However, not all of us are dumb enough to make threads about OMG WTF R I 2 DO?

Read the threads that are on this website and on others and if you can't figure out what to do from there then you are not only hopeless, but you are a liability to society.

It takes a long time and I know I probably had hundreds of hours of research into buying my 240SX before I even had one picked out.

• Buy some used coilovers
• Buy a spare set of 15 or 16" wheels
• Buy decent tires for the front (try the Dunlop dz101's) and a bunch of trash tires for the rear.
• Buy yourself a helmet
• Watch Keiichi's "Drift Bible" video
• Sign up for some JustDrift events and get as much seat time as possible

Now you're drifters too!!!

PS - every thread you make will have lots of guys jumping at the chance to flame you for asking n00b questions.. So take your time researching before you hit the post new thread button.... Every single thing you want to ask or know about has been asked and discussed here already. Also a word of advice, if you wanna make it here you should put a little more time or effort into typing your posts, cause your grammar kinda sucks which makes you come across as some n00b 13yr old. GL

Everything Joel said...plus people tend to give negative rep quicker than positive....some people deserve it. However most of the time newbies or non-premium members get hit the hardest with negative rep.
