I live off of Middlebrook Pike. Do you know where that is? I do not know much about the area yet, but I am slowly learning.
I'll be at the NOPI show this coming weekend, can you make it? Perhaps we can meet up some time.

No, I wish I had a s14 to sell you, but I'll see what I can come up with. My neighbor seems to know alot about Knoxville and perhaps he can find one or near by anyhow.
Sorry you can't make it to NOPI. I had been planning on going to Atlanta, but since there's a show in Knoxville...why bother.
I've got a 91 240SX, new ka24 engine bored out, dc 4-1 header, full catback exhaust, aem intake, 15" drifz rims, greddy front/upper strut bar, front sway bar, grex counter weighted shift ****, and various gauges. She is still under construction and will be for several years I believe, unless I hit the loto.
Future work, new paint job, full TIEN supensusion upgrade, rear upper/lower strut bars, rear sway bar, reprogramed ECU, and a turbo system.
I am setting her up for drifting. I love the feeling of taking those turns with smoking tires and the beauty of the car flowing around the turn.
Hope to meet up some time & I'll keep my ear/eyes open for a s14. I maybe able to find one in Alabama where my parents live. Not promising anything thought.
Take it easy....

Glad to hear you found a car. The KA engines w/ a turbo can compete w/ the engine swaps and is as big of a pain.
I talked to a guy at the NOPI show who had a 240 Silvia with the engine swap and he said the wiring was the biggest problem he experienced.
I saw some AWESOME drifting! I wish the battery in my camera hadn't gone dead (Do'h)! I would have had some SWEET @ss pics and video.
Anyway, we should met up some time.
Peace,
Guy

Well I know that this is a late post buy hey better late than never. I live off of western for you people that know where that is. And although I havnt done any drifting I am excited about learning. So hit me up anytime (except 8:30am-3:30pm, trying to finish out my senior year).

at the moment I am 240-less, but I plan on getting one within weeks. Right now I have a 90 toyota Celica GT. I was thinking about drifting in a parking lot or something. Do you know of any good spots?

There was one on Clinton Highway I heard. My friend was car shopping and he seen it. He said it was a s14 with a new engine(he didnt know what kind though) and of course a manual transmission($4000.00). Oh did you ever get your transmission converted? My buddys car is in the shop getting his transmission changed from auto to manual. I could ask him for details if you like.
