I Wanna Be A Drift Slag

[Bibbs]

But the MR2 is not the weapon of choice ..

Any suggestions for a car I can get to use and abuse?

Must be the following ..

1. RWD

2. Front engined

3. Long wheelbase

4. CHEAP !!

Skyline GTS-T things, RWD and I think u can get 'em 4 a couple of grand these days!

Cheers

i spose we could go old skool s13's...

cos the problem with skylines is prolly insurance, just mentioning the name skyline would upset most companies!

s14 200sx is the drifters choice me thinks

[System~G]

An old S13 is good for learning in - then once you got it tapped go with an S14, S15 or Skyline GTS. Whilst you're still learning you'll prolly bang into a couple of things so you'll want something that's cheap and easy to repair too

I know someone who will be selling an S13 soon. He bought it for drifting a year ago, but finds he doesn't have the time to do it any more. The car is an average miler, white and had just had an engine rebuild and a few other pricey S13 problems already sorted.

Bet you could get an old 2.8 F*RD Capri for about £100!

[SuperRetard]

Isuzu Piazza?

Ford Granada 2.8i?

[Treuno]

Mk1 or MK2 escort anyday! I have had 3 Mk2's and 1 Mk1! Best fun you can have and your not to worried bout damaging them! and modifing parts are cheap and readily availible!

Best bet Mk2 escort 1600-1700 crossflow engine(NOT a 2000 pinto! Way too heavy!!!), cam and set of 40's, std g/box, LSD in the back and a set of billies all round with a drop of 2 inches! Set of RS 6J rims and maybe a pair of bucket seats and your away! I had way more fun in my Esc'ies than i do in my AE86 but then again i have grtown up and dont drive as stupid round single width country lanes LOL!

[JappyBeast]

I was gonna say Mk2 escort but you just cant get them anymore!

[John R]

silvia s12!

cheap

turbocharged

rwd + fe

cheap, very cheap.

if you squint your eyes and use a bit of imagination, they kind of look like an mr2. ha!

Go on the sxoc for some great buys on old s12s and s13s

I wouldnt go that far chap!

[John R]

long wheelbase?, another s12

[Titto]

saw a drift slag school on top gear not long ago - the bestest cars they reckoned were the nissans (the turbo's ones) - it wasnt a skyline tho...

[Bibbs]

I will never go for Ford .. I'm not a pikkie ..

An Old Skool Sylvia s13 would be nice ..

I'd go older ..

LOL .. bit funny looking though ..

[ZeroBlade]

LOL .. bit funny looking though ..

[Bibbs]

[ZeroBlade]

200SX 1.8 Turbo .. 1992 .. Looks okay .. the kinda car I'm after .. shame you have to pay dosh to join the sx owners club ..

membershpi can't be that much can it?

i dunno dude, the sx is too big for my liking. i like a nice small(ish) car!

[Bibbs]

For easier drifting you need power and a long wide wheelbase ..

and I'd use it as a daily drive ..

[Bibbs]

The CA18Det is about the worst engine Nissian ever made. However they solved the problem with the S14 which came with the 2 litre SR20DET, this engine is bullet proof

***** .. S14 it is then ..

[Fidgits]

s14 200sx is the drifters choice me thinks

thats what i'd say...

Or a RX-7... nice smooth power delivery throughout the range...

[Bibbs]

But rx7 aint cheap .. I recon an 200sx S14 could be got and maintained on a budget ..

[Fidgits]

well, an older one can be got quite cheaply (Mk1's)

But yeah, the S14 will drift well

[Bibbs]

The earlier ones I've been reading were not as reliable ..
