keeeep it lol , such a nice car , i think you should hold out of prodrift until you have the car 100%

Ah well I suppose its about 4 months away anyway. But just want to know if I'm heading in the right direction or not before continuing to plow money into it lol! Regardless of Prodrift I want to be out drifting somewhere anyway whether it be practice days or that. Have a few ideas for the exterior too which I'd like to try but will have to sort out the important stuff first. But anyway I'm back on track for the moment atleast and we'll just have to see from there!!

No its burning a proper good amount of oil, even when driving normally. So I'd suspect piston rings maybe or something like that. My 20v was the same as yours on track alright, they all seem to be. But yeh processing overload at the time of posting that anyway lol!

I kind of just really want to do Prodrift now as I feel its now or never. I'll probably emmigrate soon enough, or atleast going abroad to do a masters. I've wanted and tried to enter some sort of motorsport for a few years now, and Prodrift now seems the most likely for me. The practice days and stuff will probably be hit either way, but I would really like to try and experience the pressure and competition of an event/season if possible.


For amateur level power wise at least I'd say a 200bhp ish mx should be ok. Not ideal of course, but if a 200bhp ish 86 would be ok, then a mx with more torque should be possible too. I'd be confident it would pull third anyway as is so power wise they're actually pretty good. But if I do it in the mx5 then I wouldnt expect to be too competitive anyway, with it being my first year drifting on track etc etc but ya never know. In the states and the UK mx5s with less power have done ok at lower levels so wouldnt say its out of the question, just more down to whether I'm anyway decent or not lol! Not ideal, but not impossible imo.


But over the weekend, in between alot of drinking, I did a good bit of thinking and planning, so things are gonna start moving on this quickly again, for the moment at least. Wishbones ordered, and the compression test should be done this week. So we'll see from there....

But even in the amateur class there are pro spec cars competing, cough, jay, cough! But if you think that you can pull 3rd then you should be grand.

Exactly!

Bail while ya still have money, sbodies would be better for sliding imo

But every other car in drifting is an s body.

Doing it in something different is what you want!

I plan on doing a season of prodrift in the car at some stage, but it won't be this year!

Lol I know, but I suppose either way I wont have a top pro spec car, so just have to make do I suppose. But yes I suppose even power wise I can always look for more, go for the 250bhp mark say if I do have to do engine work anyway. Wont get ahead of myself though on that front though, its more control, setup, and reliability I'm worried about at the moment anyway

You are 100% right lol....but sadly my opinion is exactly the same as twails below!

Even though this car is awesome for crusing and a bit of skidding. but can you get the grip and easy access and cheap parts to make this a Pro car???

Grip?? Mx5's are famous for being a savage handling car! they also have adjustable suspension as standard so its not to hard to mess around with!

Power would be the main problem, but once its turbo's your flying.

yeah ino there really good at handeling. but i suppose if they suspension is set up right. with big enough power for power/weight ratio. it should fly along. wudnt like to roll a soft top though. even with a cage .
