Man I was all set on building a drift car back when I was in college, but income never really worked out to the point it was feasible. Between then and now I decided I should get an MX5 as it will be more versatile and practical as a daily..

Still planning to go through on the MX5, but I'm really getting that drift urge again What's the cheapest you can expect to set something up for these days? Then again I don't even know where I'd be able to run it around here :I

Sadly, I wish I can join in the fun but I can't. Though I understand that this is " What you Drift in IRL" thread. Though somewhere along someone will post a silly picture. But I will give you this, I have tried a couple of times drifting a stock 240sx on oem parts and didn't work quite I wanted it or I didn't ( or I don't)risk my engine.

i hear you, drifting is spendy, not on a global motorsport cost level but on a independent DIY at home level.

realistically, my advice if your on a small budget is buy another persons drift toy. Sure your not doing it yourself but later on you will break things and learn to work on/replace parts. Plus everything is installed, working, and cheaper then if you did do it on your own.

I wouldn't worry about an engine, I would be more concerned on tire, tow trucks, differentials and tires.

That SC is sick as ****.

Sorry only have video's.

Me drifting my brother's Infinit M30 at a NOPI drift event. Specs: converted to 5speed from a Z31, megan track coilovers, longchamp xr-4, OPEN differential, stock VG30E. Haven't drifted for 1 year prior to this video because our track closed then someone finally held a drift event at the stadium. I think I didn't do too bad for being rusty.


My old 240sx, didn't install my KAAZ 2way yet in this vid, drifting with an open diff, B+G spring/KYG AGX struts, ST sway bars, cusco STb front back, stock SOHC KA24. Months later I swapped in a '98 KA24DE from a s14 and added headers and a apexi dual-n1. I could keep up and even drift better than guys with SR's



my friend showing what you can do with a 240sx.(I know this thread is about your car but thought it would be cool to share.)

My 180sx...SR engine...255 pump...tein drift coilovers...kazz 2 way...much more. Tuned by Speed Factory. Makes about 350hp.

My current play car...06 350z, many mods, coilovers, jwt, stillen, etc. Makes around 340hp?

I don't have the income nor space to fit another car. So, slowly building on my daily driver for seasonal track meets is better than anything at all. ( probably once a year or so)

This was to be my drifter but sadly I had to sell due to lack of money. Started life as a C33 Laurel, then swapped the front end to A31 Cefiro.

RB20DET
HSD coilovers
3.5 inch exhaust
Stock LSD







Somequick vids of my mates car, the sister car of mine - A31 cef with C33 laurel front.

I'm not seeing enough of a difference to justify keeping this thread open. If you wish to continue this discussion, then please move it to the Members Rides' subforum.
