To all you drifters in here.
What is the main reason you started to drift.
And what is the main thing you love about it?
Also, unrelated a bit. Is 180sx any good as a starter drift car?

S13 has drift tax, get some E30/34/36/39 beater, weld diff and strip it

Its fun, especially when you get the feel of it and nail a corner. yes 180 is good if you can afford to keep it maintained, they are starting to get pricey for a good manual one . You'll need an lsd and good suspension will help a lot.

I like drifting because it gives you a muscle memory reaction for if the car goes sideways. Very helpful for circuit driving. My advice for building a dedicated drift car is start with something you don't care if it gets totaled. Also something where you can easily get a replacement shell and transfer all your good parts over if it gets totaled. I plan on getting a soarer, shells are $500 in my area.

I dont even drift but have done it a few times
its easily some of the most fun you can have in a car while keeping it relatively cheap

I do the doriftos from time to time. S13s are a great choice for a starter drifting platform because aftermarket parts are cheap and plentiful. The cars themselves are going up in value though.
Drifting is pretty much the most fun you can have in a car. Its hard on cars though so I recommend buying a shit beater until you get good. If you're in the Czech republic your best bet is getting something like an e36 probably. Those are dirt cheap and make like 200whp with exhaust and an intake. Throw some coilovers on it and weld the dif then you are ready to go.

dont mean to hijack, but any recs for dirt cheap setups in southern california? is miata always the answer, they seem a little cheaper than e30s in the area
Eli Howard
Miatas are garbage for drifting and just about everything else unless you dump thousands into them
their short wheelbases are just awful for drifting tho
Foxbodies are better but I dont know how cheap they are on that side of the country
