Help!

Hi new to drifting :o and wondering what would be a good first drifter on a budget of 1200 (track only not using on the road :cool: ) want something very reliable that can take a lot of abuse. Looking at bmw 320i or nissan 180 but not really sure what to go for as looking on done deal for hours has just confused me more :confused: . Im located in Dublin so what tracks would be about, Northern Ireland is convenient for me if there are many up there?
All help really appreciated :)

ehhh if your going BMW get a 325 or 328 ..

s-bodies are good too. lots of parts out there for cheap too. but you wont get one for 1200euro


mondello is just on outside Dublin. and also you have Portloais drift track too

i think an e36 325 or e34 525 would be the best,its about the only reliable car you get for that money

both are good options personally id go sierra i had a 1.8 sierra but 2l twincam or higher be better option i guess for my first drift wagon bought for 400 stripped it out got a sparco seat for 100 took the button mechanism out of the handbrake(cheap fly off ) and welded the diff and rainy days that thing was unreal, had it 7 or 8 months and never had hassle with it:D dont spend too much on your beginner car because its not if you smack it its when and how many times... best of luck with the skidding;)
