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.

you need money.

but in all the fairness, you need big balls first ;D

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.

if ya have decent coilovers,a 2 way and plenty off power that will see you a long way..in this country anyway...in fact probly all the way if your drivieng abilitys are good...personal my self i think all these suspension mods ect are not an esesity for the facilities track wise we have in this country..them few basic things will see ya good...some extra lock aswell and your prity much mint 2 go!!!imo

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

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...
