should I buy?

Well asking in here cause well yall know more shit about Sr20's and crap. any way found a 1985 rear wheel drive 200sx five speed with 179k miles on it that actually runs for $200. INterior is ass, exterior is ass, but has new tires lol. Transmission mounts are busted, e brake dont work, but no rust, is this worth buying as a potential drift car? oh I test drove it and its slow as balls and hesitates past 5000 revs.

Dude, don't waste your time with that. Sounds like you'll be buying someone else's headache.

s12? yuck. yeah you can drop in an sr20, ca18, ka24, pretty much anything compatible with a 240 (even a few more...vq30dett)..

but the s12 is a shit chassis with weaksauce suspension

lol weaksauce....nicely put
