What are some of the cheapest drift cars you can buy in America?
Ignoring the obvious stuff like miatas ae86 and 240sx etc. it's too rice taxed to fit the category.
and I don't mean theoretical drift cars (well... its RWD so it can kinda slide...) I mean cars that also have the rest of the stuff that make it a drift car in addition to RWD
What are some of the cheapest drift cars you can buy in America?
Volvos and compact trucks
bruh wut
volvos are more expensive than miatas
This, kinda hard to find a manual Volvo tho
?
Old volvos sell fur 1-2k all day long, I got mine fur 400 bucks
Yiff in hell furfag trash
I bought my 760 turbo for $1100. Try looking around a bit.
Go hit up copart with a set budget like 1 grand. Bid on minor damage miatas. Put another 1grand in fixing the small things up (or not such as minor damage in pic). 2 grand spent so far, drift car attained.
Volvo 240/740/940, small RWD trucks, turdgen F-bodies, foxbody, maybe a BMW
you can drift FWD.
I personally drift a celica sunchaser
S10 with the 4.3. 5 speed, 2600lbs.
Its so handbrake focused that you have to floor it just to straighten out quickly enough to feel good and thays about it.
Rwd drifting offers a lot more options where you can control the angle of the gar with the throttle and it feels more lime youre phabing through the slide than always recovering from it.
But yeah if youre desperate to hoon then go ahead. Im not a hater thatll tell you fwd and awd are incapable of "drifting" but it is most certainly limited and you are better off investing in a platform that opens you up to more driving techniques.
>OP says not miatas
>bro just get a junkyard miata
Insanity
Wtf is copart??
Online auctions
FWD cant drift
>trucks
OP said no to them because of rice tax and I gave him an option circumventing the rice tax
>miata for drifting
Short wheelbase does not a good drift car make. If you want something cheap OP find a beat up foxbody.
FWD can drift you just never used McDonald's trays bus rider
Literally hundreds of examples of mustard being used as drift cars
Well, I found something interesting to do.
I wonder what could be wrong with this one.

Looks okay, bid and see what happens. Remember, stay within your budget on top of an extra 200-300$ for fees
heh. i'm not int he states currently. Just went window/dumpster/craigslist shopping.
Go look up BIOHAZARD auctions then. Post finds. Lots of fun
>BIOHAZARD

Change some panels, a new smoker window, a bit of ferbreze, and a dozen black ice in strategic locations should fix this one.

The reason so many people buy 240s are because theyre good and cheap. Dont get a shit car just to be different
>240
>cheap
BMWs. They are best cars for drift builds in EDM at least.
yeah if you wanna pay millions on a drift car
Dude a beater fox is WAAAAY cheaper than 3 or 5 grand.
Rusted up foxbody for 1k
Is there something wrong with your XRS?

>Be me
>Want a relative new car/lower miles
>That i can still hoon
>Be a cheapass and get burnt on used cars.
Mazda3
Around here can get them for 1-2k
Previa, its mid engine rear drive
Volvos like crummy said.
There was a 2k diesel 4 spd manual I was looking at but ultimately dropped because I would've had to drop an entire new engine in there
S15 w/ ball bearing turbo
please teach me how, i'm srs
240SX and Miata are sort of drift cars, too. Please name one car with >150 horsepower, RWD, LSD, manual transmission, and ≥100" wheelbase that you can pick up for less than 5 grand. Go ahead and check what Foxes are selling for before you reply.
Foxes are expensive as fuck
you dont need a wheelbase that big
you dont need that hp
you dont need LSD
Where do you live where foxbodies are expensive? And for a beginner, the stability of a longer wheelbase is a good bonus, as is lots of power on tap and an LSD so the diff doesn't have to be welded.
this thread smells like Corey
Ha
No
A beginner shouldn't have LSD, or power, and wheelbase doesn't fucking matter that much until it starts getting unreasonably huge
why are mustangs so heavy for no reason
The Fox body mustang can do it all. Depending on how you mod it, it could be a drift car or a track monster. Rwd and being light as fuck help it.
Too expensive
Miami?
Wow it's so cheap
>short wheelbase isnt good
uh
yeah it is dude
Sooooo expensive
See
Where the hell do you live that people charge that much?
Miami
This isn't me
Look dude. Come to Virginia for a weekend and I'll personally find you a mustang for 5k or less.
>tfw the cheapest RWD you can find is a 87 trans am for 3.5k
FUCK this
FUCk America
NO FUCKING GOOD CARS FOR CHEAP
THANKS CASH FOR CLUNKERS
Pro bono. They're literally everywhere here.
Your a fucking cuck if you can't negotiate a car down from 3.5k to like 1.5. Just let Tyrone's kid help you out for fucks sake
That's not how things work. The most you can get is maybe 500 dollars off here
Just gotta know how to look. Maybe it's just my area but I have no difficulty
I dunno man, I just don't see the value in overpaying for something. If it ain't a deal, just walk away it saves you time, money, and headaches
Is retarded miami lad back again?
But I don't have any other option.
People start their prices high with the idea that they will go down from there.
Well rip go whore yourself out then
Most of the time people think their piece of shit is more valuable than it is with no way to talk them down cause they wasted abunch of money themselves.
>tfw the cheapest RWD you can get is a 1991 mighty max for 2.9k
What is your local craigslist?
FWD... lol no.
Nah, but manuals are rare
I want a drift truck, or a small truck modded to shit (I mean full on mid engine conversion twin turboed v6/8) for hill climbs
Turd gens
is that catstangs mustang? is he even alive?
Those are nice ones and ones owned by boomers, you want to wait for a ratty but mechanically sound one with a roof and pounce on it.
Again. That doesn't happen here
Is a 1991 mighty max good track car/drift car
Post the craigslist site you're browsing from.
Stfu bench racer cuck you can't even clutchkick with your bus pass
Did I find my dream car?
Not really. Transmission is glass. You can use the transmission from an early Mazda B2600, but you're better off just buying the Mazda than fabbing transmission mounts and getting a driveshaft to mate it to the diff.
Glass?
Datsuns are everywhere as well as Nissan S12's. You can also get cheap Toyota Cressidas.
>cressida cheap
>datsun common
>s12 common
Senpai are you in Sarasota too?
