Joel's 1995 Nissan 240SX
I should have been one of the first ones to put up their pictures but oh well :P
My car stock to the bone with the exception of the "jdm s14 grill", pcw rims that came wit the behicle, alarm system, and new air intake filter and adapter. People told me you can drift the car at the track with the current stock set up and they were right on the money. I took my car sideways at LVMS this past May 21 and though I spun out nemerous times, I squeezed at least 3 or 4 good runs in for tha day, which was pretty good for my first time out. For now I'll be driving with stock suspension at any of the track events I can attend while I save money for a full coil-over system. The only thing I broke during the last event was my fuel gauge float assembly, which should be fixed by Wednesday at Doug's shop (www.iceperformance.com). (Update: I actually fixed it at home, pretty easy to do. Only difficult part was locating the bracket at first, but after that its cake.) I hope you guys enjoy the pics.
update:

Btw, I love my car. Despite its stock suspension, I think the only thing that was making me spinout at the track was myself. Not letting go of the wheel and gas at the right time and all that stuff. It really is Experience > Mods. But once you have EXP and match it with MODS, you'll have a deadly combination, as shown with most of the AZ drivers at the last drift day here. Anyways, for those who are starting out like me, dont trip about the mods, work on having fun. Because thats why you're out there in the first place. :cool:
