Half the 240 wagon has gone V-8....at least he still reps a Japanese L4. I would say his 'turd cutter' is a more "legit" drift car than some bastardized S13/14 with an LS1 in it.

BS. There are way more "bastardized" cars drifted by grassroots drifters, than any tc with a drivetrain conversion. At least those guys are in it for the sport, not the spirit of the engine and chassis combo. I think it is ingenious to engine swap, especially with one as cheap, reliable and powerful as an LSX. Why keep the POS engine in the 240sx anyway? These cars require way more HP that those powerplants were engineered in mind. So them swapping and making the car boring for you isn't legit? Speak for yourself. If that was the case none of the GT classes would be running butanol, diesel and all that jazz. When you show me at least one tc that isnt sponsored drifting, thats when Ill respect it as a legit drift car. Right now its a poser, trying to do something it was never designed to do.

I agree, but calling a car that takes 15-20 grand in drivetrain mods just to have the capability to drift "legit" is stepping over the line.
