I want to buy a cheap car to be used in drifting.....any ideas outside the box would be appreciated. Im thinking maybe an older RX-7.....of course i love a 240sx...but what can i realistically afford for 2-3k?

 

cressida.

 

Oldschool MR-2. The boxy one. But why is this in this section?

 

I think youre in the wrong forum lmao. Get a 240, any kind really. AE86 corollas are too expensive nowadays and many are in bad condition.

 

get a S13 or a S12

 

my friend had an old 92 nissan stanza he got for free. it was an awesome drift car, for a 2.0 and completely stock car lol.

f.y.i. your friends grandmothers ford taurus= bad drift car! it didnt drift, the tires gripped, and we plowed a mailbox over and ended up in a fight with a large pine tree... (tree won)

What? Were you *** dragging with an e-brake in an FF car and calling it drifting? Stanza's were never RWD


To the OP, cheapest would probably be a 240. If you've never drifted before, it really doesnt matter too much how it looks. You'll probably [freak] it up anyway. Most of the professional drifters crashed their cars numerous times.

 

A [freak]ing Ef hatchback broha...for those mad tYte vtec driFtz.
I dont know if you know what forum your on...the only honda worth drifting would be an s2000 and your still stupid if you drift one of those. Plus there like 15-20k. get a 240, get a nice suspension and drift the **** out of it

 

A 240sx would be your best bet. My uncle bought one with a S13 front end and 155,000 miles for about $3000, so you're bound to find something.

 

+1 on the Cressenda, you can get one for like $1000 and strap a Home Made Turbo kit onto it to get some extra oomph.

that and its a larger car so when you wreck *which you will* you and the car will probably fair better than a Dinky 240.

RX-7's are not a good idea unless they are a turbo motor *which is well north of 3K...*

Naturally aspirated they have VERY little torque, which is what you need to drift.

Another good option would be a late 80's BMW 3 series. RWD, straight 6 with like 160=170tq in a 2400lb car, but get ready to break drive-train pieces.

 

yes, jdmztrane, if thats what you want to call it... lol... we take ******* cars and ASSDRAG with our E-brakes...


dumb question, throwing it out to anyone- how do you quote somebodys post? im new and cant figure it out...

 

Ill sell you my turbo7 its fast as hell It even scares me a little sometimes but it aint cheap

Thank you, I didn't know how else to say it.

 

CRX

 

rx7 beetch

 

S12.

They're cheap and look like AE86s if you're into that ****.

 

I like Cressidas, thinking about picking one up myself. The only one I've seen drift was this maroon one on YouTube and I think it had a 1JZ in it, so I'm not too sure on its drifting abilities. You should do it though.

 

I would think nearly any RWD car would work OK, right? Cheap RWD cars I can think of:

3rd gen f-body (even a base 305 should have enough power)
1st gen Q45
5.0 SN95 (i think they are cheaper than fox bodies at this point)
MKIII supra
FC RX7
MK1 MR2 (not sure how the mid engine thing works for drifting)
E30 3-series
E34 5-series
1st gen GS300
SC300

im sure there are tons more

 

i saw a 1990 240 today for $1600 obo, they are out there

Here, check 3:00 minutes in. A little of a MK1. Apparently they CAN do it

 

get a chevy s10. drop a sbc in it and bust some fools up.

 

Mk1 are not ment to drift...i wouldnt recommend it. its possible yes. but not a good car do drift in.

 

Cheap and drifting do not go together. Even those janky cars that art students from the San Gabriel Valley have money in them.


240SX
