how are you gonna make the power to drift with a 1.5? the Porsche 914 is an awesome midengine car, I don't know about a drifter though. Why don't you just make it rear engine and use the weight of the engine to your advantage. Put it in a VW. You know other manufacturers make cars that are already better suited for dirfting and they usually come with better than a d15.

my plan is to make a single or double passenger go-cart with the engine sitting behind u. the frame with wheels will hopfully weigh around 150 pounds or less. i just want to base all my dimensions on a good car
