New from AZ, DRIFTING pics updated!!!
Well im from arizona (west phoenix are to be exact)
had an s14 with an rb25det and sold it and i ended up getting an sc cus i thought it was time to step it up a bit more
so i found this beauty and picked her up
its a 95 with STOCK 5 speed
93k original miles and been driven like a baby, it has definitely been in good hands
the paint is IMMACULATE except for one ding on driver side fender and a bit of fading on the front bumper
inside is soooo nice except that the leather is starting to harden a bit but i already conditioned it
came with the UGLY fitting wheels but im planning on buying something really nice...im looking at these https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...350-socal.html
im pretty sure ill need to run some spacers to make it as flush as i want it to be but they will look good non the less, what do you guys think?
currently the only mod on the car are megan coilovers and i have already dropped it (not shown in pics, ill post later) and also a welded diff
i plan on using this as a daily but also a once in a while drift car, ill be drifting it for the first time this saturday at firebird
plans for it will be the wheels of course and also later down the road like around february i plan on doing the 1jz swap and ill be happy with around 300hp, after all it doesnt take a lot of power to get sideways
hopefully ill be heading out to some meets and meeting some of you guys...
here are the pics of the car
and here are some pics of the 240 i had

Congrats and welcome! Check in to the southwest subforums and introduce yourself and keep an eye out for meets.
The Iforged wheels would look good, though there are also many other good options out there too. Either way, as long as your stance is correct, you can't go wrong. Good luck and let us know if you need any help. We have some very knowledgeable guys out here in AZ that are always willing to help.

Congratulations on your find and purchase. Welcome to CL. Anything you wanted to know is all here.. Do a search, you will find it! Very nice cars, but the SC is better..IMO.
Why cant there be more from Alabama? :-)

Hopefully some of the camera guys out there will finally for once take a video or pic of me drifting, either way though there should be a lot of pics and ill post them up
Lol this car is super heavy for sure!!! i guess that's the sacrifice we make for luxury.
and since there isnt much power that just means full throttle drifting
with the 240 i would have to play alot with the gas and clutch to be able to control it.
we'll see how the sc does
and im down for tandem haha (after maybe a year or two of experience)

i used to own a rsx and then drove a 240 and never again and i mean NEVER AGAIN will i own a FWD haha
secondly i've had 2 240sx and one tt 300zx i love those to death and wouldnt mind owning another one
reason i went with an sc is more of a daily driver. something i can be comfortable in since im comuting over 75 miles everyday
AC!!!!!!!!
super easy to swap a 1jz compared to the pain in the *** doing the rb swap in a 4cylinder engine bay
in the end it takes less money to have a better car then my 240 and you have sooooo much more than that (luxury, comfort, stereo, looks, etc...)
not only that but 1jz and 2jz's are freaking bulletproof, im pretty sure i dont need to go into detail for that one as most of you already know...
one more thing is that not a lot of people own them and i almost dont have to worry about them gettnig a bad rep for being ricers and such...before i didnt have to worry about that with the 240 but things have changed as honda guys are going torwards nissans, but i dont think lexus having to worry about it being the new nissan...
question answered?
and dont worry im not a ricer if that's what you were reffering too...
