Silvia front end conversion OR 93 240sx front end NEEDED

Ok I'm brand new to this forum. This is my first post. Im actually a VW enthusiast but I have encountered problems attempting to drift in my FWD Golf, so has my friend in his FWD civic. The solution: we went halfies on a salvaged 1993 240sx....$500. So we made this our track whore. Problem #2: the car is hit in the front, mostly cosmetic damage, so since we will need to buy a new front end I was thinking of maybe getting a Silvia conversion. Is anyone selling? Im also looking for just an OEM 240 front end. Let me know if anyone has one for sale or knows where I can get it for cheap.

haha nice 'attempt' to drift with a puny fwd car. it's not called drifting, it's called ass dragging. including your friend, no need to add FWD before civic, we all know it's a puny fwd car. how was the ass dragging? ebrake alot? hahahahahahaha.
anyways why are you asking for an oem 240 front end and also asking for a silvia front end?

if your using it for drift, theres no point in buying a front because chances are you will fuck it up learning, so just save money for gas and suspension

uhm yea i wouldnt buy a front, i take mine off when i go drifting, bnecause last time i came really close to the curb, didnt hit but on a 50ft wide road practicing 180s and 90s the curb comes up real fast.

sinice you did say it was salvaged, but only dmaged in the front, id say buy some suspension parts, buy a powere brace first, because it will tell you if your frame is tweaked. (picture is from mynismo.com )

and since you drive an FF id pick up a copy of the Drift bible, just because he give you some really good detail on the types of drifting and how to practice.

but it be better to go with the stock front cause like people said u are a noob and when it comes to drifting there are always accidents. Even the best drifter have them, now think u are a beginer at the sport u will more accidents than my mother will. so the silvia front end is a waste of money. i have sr20det for sale, i will sell it to u for 8k. hahahahahahaha :dumbass:

Thanks for the help. I've seen drift bible like 20 times already, and people might hate on FF cars but its not so easy getting a FF car to drift w/o using the e-brake. Just because my daily driver is FWD doesnt mean I cant drift. How will that brace tell me if the frame is bent? I could always get it pulled either way, but j/w.

FF cars don't drift.. they ass-drag.. get it right.

about ur whole front-end problem
no pun intended but you are a noob at drifting. as mentioned, even pro's crash all the time. you're gonna fuk up ur car sooner or later. just pick up a used 240 front and put the saved money towards track time (maybe even lessons), suspension, tires, and damage repair costs. ur track whore doesn't have to look good until you get sponsored and can actually drift right
( if i sounded mean, too bad )

I have a different thought on the front end thing, I actually can't wait to hit something....gives me an excuse to mod, broken front end means it's time for a body kit, like I broke my dirver side seat, soooo, gosh darn, I had to buy a 180SX JDM seat. Bummer......
