since you asked,
240s have great balance, they are cheap sports cars with 50/50 balance. its a perfect car for drift/ road race. of course the work done is astonishing by proportions but it that just question "why" pops up.
like i said to each its own. just hurts my heart to see another all "drag" 240. just going straight ruins that car. but thats my opinion. i used to drag before i got into drifting pretty hardcore 2 years ago and im never going back, just dont see a challenge as a driver. its just plainly boring after a while.
but there are people out there who like to drag and thats fine. i just said my opinion.
everyone has their own flavor. i didnt say that the car was ****, it took a great deal of work. just not setup for what I like. to me its no different than going rb26 and then doing big single turbo... just not fun for me

well i think its a great setup i just biased against all-out-drag cars. especially 240s. actually nothing is left of the 240 excepf for the unibody.
and if i didnt love lsx series motors i wont be on this forum. im just not in the same game you are. and my ls1 is for my drift car because its simply superior in power per dollar to sr or rb or other swaps really.
but hey i think it sounds like it should sound, cant beat the sound of the v8. its funny that you posted link to zilvia thread. lots of food for thought there.
good luck with you car sir!

This is Charlie and i helped a little on Blakes 240, this is by no means the only car that Blake has or has modified in fact as far as i know he never had a stock car. The quality of work on this car is very good its not completed yet as there is a lot to this setup. Its too bad some one cant appreciate the work that goes into doing a car like this becouse it goes against his likes! I have a 93 fd rx7 i drag race it, and it drifts even when i dont want it to, thats my taste. I say to each his own and if its done well give them props if you dont like it what makes you think your opnion is worth giving!! Thanks.

drift is an acronym for:
Dumb
Ricers
Intentionally
F***ing-up
Tires
sorry but I prefer the term powerslide, not some cool, new, hip term renaming what the Duke boys were doing almost 30 years ago
anyways, lets get some pics of that sweet S14

spoken like an ignorant person with a mentality of a 16 year old.
powerslide or actually powerover is one of initiation tecniques in drift. besides that theres ebrake, clutchkick, shiftlock, kansai, faint, sway and etc. you dont even know what are you talking about. very very sad. theres alot to drifting.
but anyway,
stop going off topic
unless you want to make more ignorant comments about drifting. just let it go.

competitions are gay, judging drifting is gay, but doing it is fun. and thats all that matters. drag racing is boring after spending a weekend on a road course (not even drift, just grip).

If you think its "a challenge", then I would stay away from any grip racing. Of course, Im speaking of most "drifters", but the few that excell at car control like mikespeed are truely skilled.
Its always funny to me when one of the drifters get high and mighty about thier sport, or a car they "think" should be done thier way. Thats like a pro wrestler telling a UFC fighter he's fighting wrong (which is to say that skill is involved, but its still only a show). And the fact that "drifting" has been going on in america since before there were JDM cars. However, I guess they should be given credit for slapping a new name to it and creating thier own form of "pro wrestling".
As for the zilvia boys, most are a discrace to true 240sx's enthusiasts. God forbid someone creating a work of art out of thier beloved JDM tyte (yet USDM) silvia without the use of fiberglass or cheap parts.
And to the OP, that is one of the sweetest 240's I have ever seen. Great job!! Waiting on vids of it running
Great analogy.....drifting IS the "Pro Wrestling" of all the auto sports. LMAO! I'm sure it takes lots of driver skill and practice, no doubt about that. But I agree with PSJ.....its extremely GAY 
and pointless. Although I have been known to watch NOPI on TV once and a while.....but, it's NOT to see the cars.
