what should i look for. i'm getting something new come spring and GSX is on the list if it's driftable. i want something that won't break on me right away. i know dsm's aren't the most reliable but i don't wanna put a new motor in straight away.

also how much should i look to spend for a 97+ GSX in good shape?

probably get one for 12k with low miles, or 10k or less with about 100kmiles. atleast by me you can

"driftable"? don't buy an eclipse. Get a WRX or an EVO.

you could drift with a gsx dont get an rex, their trannies suck ass... anyway, i have a 99 and i paid about 14500 after takes and everything with 68k on it

The newer WRX has an updated tranny, much stronger.

And you will have a hard time drifting an AWD DSM. You will need some crazy suspension settings to lose the grip enough for drifting. Snow is one thing, but dry pavement is another entirely.

If you want to drift get a RWD. If you want to grip get a GSX or TSi AWD.

or you could just disable the fwd part of the drive train, like they did to the skylines in 2fast2furious :P

...and blow apart your transfer case and/or rear diff. sure!!! :thumbsup

if you really want to drift, then get a 240SX. All the money you spend on buying a GSX, you can spend all that on your 240SX. You cna get a 96-97 for around 5k to 8k. Then if you want more power, go buy the SR20DET. Now you have a real drifter.

I might be selling my 98 240sx in a few months... I'll post it on 2gnt first.

Jeff, why you selling your 240SX? and in your sig, it says you want a s13? what you mean by that?

<hijack>

s13's are badass....but I think I would stick with the 240. I'm just in love with the 98 body style. Not a fan of the truck engine that comes with them though... and a SRD20DET engine swap is mucho money. Not really feasiable for me. Good luck with the s13 though...Silvia powah! :thumbsup

Selling the 98 because I want this: :thumbsup

drool....

yeah i didn't think it'd be to easy to drift a GSX. just thought it'd be a cheap option considering how much the seven's cost. if i went with a seven i'd get the motor done by KDR right away to get rid of any sort of questions with the motor.

I just read a huge article about a silve s13 & s15 drifting team in the U.S. Driftinf is really more japanease style but is definately coming of age!!!!! That car is deadly IMO!!!! I'd sell the 2GNT for a silvia anyday!!!:bowdown :bowdown

I might possibly have a AWD for sale :D ;) (see below)

PM me if serious.
