You dont need anything. Drive the car and as you get to limits of certain parts, then upgrade them. People go out spending $$$$ on heap loads of parts, but if you cant drive to there limits, whats the feckin point?! Looooads of lads running minimal suspension upgrades and can keep up no problems.

Youl need battery cut off though, and fire extinguishers, also seat and harness.

pete is bang on!!! a truer wordnever spoken!! you don't need to buy any washers!!!! get 6 one euro coins and knock out the centers!! take out ur tie rod and put em on the end!! you will find the euro coin is the exact size of the rack and fits perfect on the tie rod!!! 3 coins on each rod and lots of loctite

i am only starting out have no steering mods have coilovers rear chamber arms i think bought the car the way it is havent changed anything yet still cant drive it properly just drive it and if something breaks change or if ya get good and ya think the car is holdig back upgrade but my car drives perfect if i could drive it ha ha

[alan180sx]

You dont need steering mods or any fancy stuffs, cage kill switch harness towing eyes and ur gud to compete nearly..
If your only starting out drifting on track it will take a while before ur better than the car, when the car limits what you can do then change/upgrade bits

cheers lad am pity much sorted so jus get the few bits you ave listed

Petes on the ball here!
all you need really is a dood diff some powerz and the skill to use them...

i see lots of lads spending crazy $$$$ and goin into crazy detail wit every
little gaget they can get... but cant drive the car to save their life...
wats the point

ur car is perfect the way it is now lad, just go out and get as much seat time
as you can and the wen you get really good start thinkin about made suspension
set ups...

thanks for the advice mate

I'd love tp turn my car into a drift car. How hard is it to turn a car back into a road car after it's been stripped and a cage added?

[Fredericks Balls]

Once you keep stuff you take out then it shouldnt be too hard i'd imagine... If you weld in the cage its not really gonna come out but a bolt in would be easier...

Unless im mistaken the only thing you cant really put back would be the sound deadening. Otherwise everything is replacable, and once the dash n stuff hasnt been cut to shit..

[Greg]

Would it be much harder to sell my car if it was stripped though? I will be selling it at some stage this year.

[Fredericks Balls]

Im the last person to ask, i couldnt sell a quarter pounder to an etheopian!!

But i'd imagine it would be more appealing if it was a pimp road car because you'd have a bigger market, unless it was an out and out monster specc'd drift car then your more likely to get a buyer, although they would probably want it for free.

But even if you were doing a drift day take out as many seats n shit as you could, maybe that would help a bit??

What are you gonna replace it with??

[Greg]

Maybe i'll just leave it alone so and stick to the odd track day.

Will probably replace it with an n/a Supra for the track and something sensible for daily life.

[Prodrifter86]

if you get the washers and throw them in, that would do a beginner for sure. They cost like 2 euro and take maybe 30 mins to fit.

You can spent X amount of money on suspension arms, not need them, then have a turbo or whatever shit itself and have no money to fix it.

Drive it, max parts out, upgrade them! thats what i say.

dead right lad! just get the basics go do some dori dori! and if you get better at it or more competitive then get more upgrades!!!!!!!
