My new tramp drifter

Well folks, I bought this yesterday eve. Was kind of an impulse buy I was sitting at home and it was pissing rain an said I would love some sort of cheap wrecker so had a quick look an this was up just 10min. At first I thought it may be a bit underpowered but I went and had a look and there is plenty of poke in it to do the job haha.... I hope to try to do a day or two in maybe portlaoise or something like that. I am looking for some advice, what can I do to try an pro long the life of the car? I will have the fan wired so that its always on, I will also keep the heating in the car up to the last if I am messing is there anything else I can do to keep it cool and pro long the life of it? At the moment there is a welded diff which is a brilliant job, I also think there is lowering springs as it is quiet low, I am thinking maybe a hydro handbreak, bucket, harnass......... What else would people recommend? Bear in mind I am trying to keep the cost to an absolute minimum!!! Anyways here is link to for sale thread on done deal......

In the wet it will all day. Not a chance in the dry though unless your very ballsy haha.... I have had loads of rwd yokes through out the years an its only when you get in to something you dont really care about that you will properly learn to throw it about.... Delighted with it!

Change the oil after every day out and should last you, The oil turns very watery after a good going. Had mine at 5 or 6 days over the summer and not a bother on it. Forget about 3rd gear drifts unless carrying high speed!
