To start off thats understandable, gain experience. Well, then sell me the cressida for cheap
. Oh and ftw(for the win) is a positive thing to say.

i have a manual clutch pedal and master and slave from my supra that bolts into a cressida. Trust me your not gonna be able to sell a cressida with a blown motor for enough money to get a 1j or 2j swap. your gonna fall way way short. you would at most if its really clean get like 1500 for it. 1j swap your gonna spend 4-5K to have a running car(thats motor tranny and all the other shit you need) and a 2j open you wallet and bend over. chris jackson has a 2j 240 and he has about 20,000 into it. Its not really worth it.
as for your original question the hachi can keep up with a 240 because of driver talent and just shear size of the drivers balls. Cause when your trying to keep up in a hachi your full throttle the entire time thats where "never lift" comes from. Just cause someone can drift a 240 dosnt mean they can drift a 86. driftings not about huge hp numbers its more driver then anything.

1. if u wanna go bang for buck. go for s13/s14.
2. if u wanna be different/ 4dr drift FTW!
it all depends on ur pockets.. if u pick something difficult w low pockets.. ill take u for ever! and may not be soo good.

well if depends on what you like? the style? do u like the s14? the s13 coupe? or hatch? s14 seems to go a lil more on price. then the s13 coupe. and lastly hatch.. y trade your SC? keep that as a dayli.. ur gonna need it.

depending on how nice you sc is you could probobly trader straight up for a fully built SR s13 or a mildly built s14 probobly sr powered also. all s chassis are pretty much the same they all slide themselves for the most part. people will argue all day which s13 is better coupe or hatch. I personaly own a coupe but i never see coupes in junk yard i only see hatchs. all you really need to drift in a s chassis is coilovers, a diff (LSD or welded), a good clutch and good brakes. just make sure to maintain it well. Id def recomend keeping one of the cars as a daily driver cause your gonna break your drift car weither it be parts failing, blowing a motor, or hitting the wall it happens so be prepared.

why do you want to race or drift? can you drive stick?
oh and 240sx is the most popular car for a reason.. it's platform performance and affordability outweighs any other vehicle by 99.9%

i kno how to drive stick...i just thought that with the sc's v8...theres not so much you can do but supercharge it and i HATE superchargers...lol...i've always wanted a turboed car so i'd rather have an sr20det..oh yea!! and whats better..redtop or blacktop??
Miami_drifter

lolz. bro sireously. ur best bet rite now is search! search ! search! u can go on google and search red top vs black top! and y u worried about that now? theres tons of other stuff u would need b4 a swap for drifting. aka diff. suspension. reliable?

they are the same unless you go s14/s15 sr20det than it has a different turbo and vtec
i'll trade you a drift ready 240sx fastback with everything for your sc4 and cressida
