i respect your opinion completely, and with all due respect, if i took you for a ride, im pretty sure i could convert you.

parts get entirely too expensive and must come from JDM land, and considering japan is under water, i think i made a good choice. haha

unfortunately, my car has taken a slow tumble since i had not had a job for a good period of time.
but now i make decent money, and im currently working on getting all my suspension arms and knuckles for more angle (function>form, F you), bride reps, cage, wheels, and then OEM kouki front end then paint.
should have all of that sorted by the end of summer.
then im investing in a daily. haha
ill be out of high school then, so i can work more.
yes, i said highschool. im just a lil guy. =(

sc300's are heavy.... thats my 2 cents.
ill go 2jzgte before i go na-t.
but i dont need more power. i have all the power i need for what im doing.
an OEM bodied drift car that is just enough for my skill level.
when im to the point where i need more power, ill sell my swap and get a 2jzgte.
get some bolt ons and make say 300-350whp until i need more.

why spend more money for power im not going to need.

it is heavy but its also luxurious as **** especially compared to a 240. idk weight really isnt a factor when u got close to 450hp.. if anything it helps keep my tires on the road lol
in my case going na-t was def cheaper than a swap considering labor... u might as well bolt on a kit and enjoy 400+ hp easily. idk tho, each person has their own spending habits.. you wouldn't believe the deals i get here in miami

hahahaha thank you.
and of course we can be facebook buddies. but ill warn you, i have an android which makes updating it too easy, so be prepared to see LOTS of updates and pics. haha

W trannys bolt up the same as far as i know.
and i have a plp short shifter =) i constantly get compliments on the sound of my car, my nardi, how amazing my brakes work, and how my shifter feels.

speaking of good deals i got a nardi for $100, a complete 2jzge for $300 with a RPS flywheel, and free tires. haha

never the less, if i cared about luxury, id still have rear interior let alone the fact i would have gotten an e46 and slammed it on e66 wheels instead of a 240....

as for weight, im not sure if you got the memo, but i slide cars. and weight is pretty important doing that.
weight is important if you like to do things other then drive straight.
even driving straight it is.. thats why i can pull a lightly modded evo8 and a stock sc300 cant.

LMFAO! hide yo kids hide yo wife!
what track do u drift at btw? i'd like to slide by and give my sc a try with this weight. i get ur basic point as far as weight (obviously we all know the lighter the better, hence the value of carbon fiber etc.) but i think my weight (thrown) will just make it easier to slide as long as ive got some real power pushing me all the way through it. (na-t)

and jw.. how'd u manage a free set of tires? lol

i have the hookup at a tire shop. i get 40% off new tires, and the used ones for free. and i ALWAYS have first pick.

i slid in florida at Central florida racing complex.
but now im in maryland and ill be sliding at drift nirvana.
and yes, your car will do just fine. haha
all i was saying was light weight and NA 2jz is just cheeper more efficiant power. lol
i get stock reliability, which is very important for a daily.
