which drift car should i go for

Hi.
well as i said in my intro im looking for a cheap car for drifting.
My budget would be around 500 euro and for that i would want one that would look respectable and not have half the bits missing off of it.
it also must be able to go around not a bother atall with a welded diff :cool:

i have picked out two cars on done deal and im wondering would the first one the 523i be too heavy for diffin

or would the 318 be better for diffin as it is lighter? but it doesent have as powerful of an engine :mad: but i think it would be worth more in parts for when i come to break

all comments welcome anyway lads what other cars do ye think i should be looking out for?

diffin.......go around..........not off to the best start are we, but sierra right job

the sierra's are harder to come by on done deal and seam to be carrying a higher price tag too

Your on the wrong site. This is a drifting site. Not a diffin one. You will get a bucket load of abuse here for diffin.

There ye go , you could get a spare one too in budget:)

2way in er lad some yoke ta go round tho...........

David David David what have you said " diffin is a sin" now go and repent ;)
For 500 euro there ain't such thing as a good first drifter, there is however plenty off tramps that will cost you a small fortune to get out on track before you realise it's boiling over and your day is over, then you watch the lads that saved a few quid more goin balls out all day havin a great time, (no offence to tramps) ya get my hints on what to do ? Credit union FTW

Dont bother with the 318 sohc they are balls of shit unless its wet or snowing. The 523 not much better but a bit. Save a little more and pick up a UK Zenki 14, be much more worth your while. Surely you would get one for about a grand somewhere these day's in good running ortder but might just need a few little bits

if you wanna go for a BMW, the only good one (power/weight) d be an evo.
Like E36 M3 and 3.2

era sure he has to start somewhere???

but ya get a 318is, they go outsideways all day long in the wet. never been in one doing second in the dry so dont know what theyre like.

never been in one doing rings but they can drift alright if ya abuse em enough.

just watch for boilers when your buying one

or as the lads said save up and get an s14. you can pick some up for cheap as chips. or a ca18 200sx s13 come up standard cheap too. most are rusted to bits but at least its only going to be your first drifter so sheel be getting a battering anyways.

Save up bout a grand and get a s13 200sx, smelly yoke, get a diff and a steering wheel and f@#king kill it, people say der engines are weak but if you take care of it youl be fine!! gud luck with the search!!

i dont know what tlc is needed do?

Ive been drifting Is's for years. You need the 1.8/1.9 dohc car at the very least, They will go in the dry in 2nd or with balls 3rd but loose power mid way :( I never had an lsd in any of the cars and done ok. My new car is getting a massive amound of work done seeon and an lsd will be the list albit Bmw diffs aint great. I dont want a welder but thats just me. They will take hardship as long as the main thing ie WATERS and oils are in good order, I could go on all day about bmw's but I wont ;)

Thumbs down for the BMW.

S body all the way. And your man (hunty i think it was) is right, better to invest a bit more, the more you spend, the more value for money you'll get -within reason

im in the same boat wana get started myself. prob go with a 180
