Hello everyone. My name is Clowny, and I'm a driftaholic.

Hey everybody. I own a black 1991 240SX SE coupe. I have a 93 redtop in it with a koyo rad, greddy FMIC, FAL fans, walbro pump, and a zex nitrous air filter. Its got suspension and brake issues right now that are keepin me from drifting, but they are slowly gettin fixed.

I am one of the few people who still live in the dark ages. my camera still requires film, and i dont have a way to upload the pictures here. sorry. plus, its nothin special to look at. the paint is fadin, the obligataory dents and scrapes of a 240, and for some reason, the paint on my front bumper has bubbles in it. looks like it has car herpes or somethin. guess thats what i get for ridin peoples butts on the on ramps lol.

haha, car herpes... thats funny. just take your pictures to walmart, and ask them to also give you a picture disk. the paint doesnt have to be perfect for a car to look good.

Plans are to get 26mm z32 brakes up front and keep the 240 brakes in back. doin it that way so i can fit my 7spokes back on the car ( like the sleeper look) and i will be able to fit almost any wheels i want on the back to drift. Im also plannin on swappin the brake mc over to a z32.

As far as suspension, i havent really decided how im gonna do it. i have kyb gr2s on it now, and they are great for daily drivin but i dont think they will handle drifting a lot. ive been lookin into either a megan coilover steup, or gettin a used JIC coilover steup. or possibly gettin some adjustable shocks and lowering springs and callin it a day. any way i go with it, i am gonna get bigger sway bars as well. umm... im sure there is more but i cant think of it.

The whole "sleeper" looks only account for highway and drag. As for grip and drift its all about driver skill.
