If its ur first track yoke your best getting summit cheaper to slide than that and learn the skills and build your confidence up b4 getting a dear yoke, ur bound to make a few mistakes and you dont want be repairing a good car all the time and the car will just end up destroyed. Unless ur minted and can afford to bash and repair summit nice. just my 2 cents!!

Great lump of a car to start in: http://www.driftireland.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=26556
If its any use to you i was always told if i start in an underpowered car it will make me a way better driver ie. na 16 valce cam or somethin like that... I assume its cas u have to be alot more commited
as dan above me said start off in something underpowerd like a 320 itl make you a much much better driver because it teaches you how to push your car as hard as you can
what would a sr20de be like for starting off
Fairly useless lad they just dont have the go in them to driftQuote:

i had the same problem last year bud and one of the lads convinced me that an s bodied sr20det was the best way to go and i never regretted getting it i'm still only learnin but the cars more than capable for startin out..
I personally started in sierra's, no power and bad lock made it good craic so when i made the jump to the first skyline i had sliding it was really handy in comparrison and had loads of confidence
Buy something that only needs minimal work, parts add up if you buy a cheaper car.
There not that bad myself an a mate bought the red 180 in the banner off Jay rocket and whacked na running gear into it with a welded diff hydro and extra lock it's a grat cr for a bit a crack with little or no trouble unless ya smack it or boil itQuote:

Start out in any rwd car your budget suits.!
I have a 32 year old dx corolla standard 1.6 carb engine and still gave it a go the last day at drift fest.
So dont know where lads say a 2litre wouldnt have the go to drift!
Under powered makes you work much harder, but in the long run if you can learn in one you'll become a much better driver as once you hop into a 180 or the likes you'll be flying!
You wouldnt be able to do it the other way aound as easy from a high powered car to a lowwer n/a car as you'd get a serious wake up call!
as has been said, gettin some cheapish that you dont mind if you wreck it.
mx5 1.8 or a 325,323,328 e36 bmw.
