1979 280zx project

ugh so much misinformation in this forum.
weld the LSD? wtf?
cam will do you no good
clutch is a good idea, stage 1 is basically stock though (what I've got) Stage 2 is a way better idea
knuckle arms, I'm assuming shorter ones? yeah that doesn't work without a shitload more mods to the control arms and ****, stock angle is fine for getting sideways.
guys get off his case about needing MOAR POWAR to drift (for instance, AE86 Corollas, like 85whp MAX yet there's people sliding them all over the place, and very well at that.)

Why a 280zx for drift? Yeah it may look cool but its gonna cost you waaaaay more than most options out there.
zx for street fun and auto-x is ok.
If your gonna build a drift beater there are a MILLION 240sx's out there with a million low cost parts.
Why not save some money and beat the **** out of one of those than a Z?

anything else is just to help it slide better.
