Transcript

Three fifty z aesthetic is not great better they're a great seat time car. Here's the ideal three fifty z better for someone who's just getting into drifting. One, pick up a three fifty z from Craigslist. I always look for a car that has some of the mods that I'm looking to do just so I can save some money because mods don't add value to the car. Two, weld the diff. If you take the car to someone to get your diff welded, it'll cost you about $250 or you can take it to your friend and have them weld it with tier Harbor Freight Better. Three, get a seat so you're not flying around all over the place when you're drifting. Four, the suspension on these is already really great, but if it's blown for some reason, upgrade with some coilovers. Five, and after you get used to sliding it a better, upgrade to the GK Tech angle kit which adds a bunch of angle and is really cheap. For a more advanced better with alignment specs, comment drift and I'll send you the rank, but really this is all you need to get started and you'll learn a ton.
