Is your white 240 stock?

If i were you, i would sell this and put the money towards the white hatch.

Good luck with whatever you do.

Yeah, the white one is pretty much stock, but if I sold the black one, I wouldn't get too much money, and I would rather not learn to drift in the white one. I'd be too paranoid of crashing, and I would never learn.

You cant be paranoid when you are learning to drift. Wont get you anywhere. You need to push the car to its limits if you actually want to learn. There will be some close calls but you will learn your car and what happens if you do certain stuff.

Being your age and having 2 cars is nice but you dont have a job that will support both those cars. I say put your money into the white hatch and start learning with that one. Your car wont be perfect forever especially when your drifting.

That's the point. Technically, the black car is my mom's, so I don't have to pay insurance or anything like that on it. And I will always be paranoid if I try in the white car, because it has such a straight body and it's so mint. But the black car has been a drift whore for the majority of its life. It doesn't matter if I crash it a few times because it's already so beat up.

David, where do you live by?
If you live close, I could give you a hand or two on the black car.
Hit me with a PM if you're interested.

Take the tails out when painting. It takes 2 seconds and saves you materials (eg, tape).

I already fucked up the tails with dried up tape. I need new ones now. Lesson learned.
