   haha! first things first bro, a 1991-1994 240sx is perfect but, you gotta get the fast back (the coupe is ugly). now remember you need power. the car stock is 150hp. not enough to drift on. you need to get an engine swap. most commomn is the SR20 which is the japanesse engine for this car pullin 205hp. now remember its a light car so that is plent of power, specially for a begginer, now before you start going sideway n crash you new motor. you need stiff suspension CRITICAL in drifting. you can get this car in goog condition for 2k-4k (shop around) the engine will cost $1500-2k plus intallation bout $600. you can get coilovers (suspension) for about $800. this is one of my favotite cars, you can fit some fat tires on it, n the turbo sounds nice. look into it, you can change the front pop up light to the S15 front. it looks sick, now possibilities with engine swaps n mods on this car are endless. if you feel the need for it, you can even fit a SKYLINE engine in this car. good luck bro…

   Go American. Big engines and lots of horsepower so you don’t have to modify them just to drift, and they’re cheap. Look at Mustang 5.0s, and Camaros and Trans Ams with V8s.
