What Car (for Drifting)

Botang · 09-10-2005, 09:49 PM

A mate of mine is thinking about having a go at this drifting malarky so we are trying to come up with a few ideas for cars.

Criteria are, Rear Wheel Drive, Manual, preferably with a limited slip diff as standard, the cheaper the better.

The vehicle wont have to be road legal as it would be track use only, and not too bothered about engine as can always play with that after [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

A few to get the ball rolling:

Obvious ones, Nissan 200SX, BMW E36 3 series.

Not so obvious ones:
Jaguar XJ, Toyota supra turbo (old one), Isuzu Piazza Turbo (my current favourite)

any more???

EDIT: £2000ish price limit

Ive added a price limit as its only going to be used to destruction.

What about a Manta GTE Exclusive?

Only thought of this 'cos I saw one today and after thinking for years that they were sacks of s**t,it actually looked half decent! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Probably just a sign of how visibly boring your average car has become [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]!
