A drift should not be a daily.

Unless you don't mind driving around on the cords of your tires while your bumpers fall off and half the shit on your car doesn't work from smashing into things (it happens to everyone, good drifter or not).

Too bad you're not in the city of Chicago. I could introduce you to the meanest street-drift kids on the planet, they'd have tons of tips for you I bet.

Just get a 240. Everyone that drifts has one but that's because theyre so fun to whip around and theyre expendable. you can get 240s for under a g if you look. sometimes pretty nice ones.

Thanks for the responses guys!

Much appreciated !

Try your hand at any and all driving events you can attend. Track days, autox, drifting... whatever you can, because it's all going to improve your driving, and therefore your drifting.

Anything rear wheel drive as stated. After that its a good idea to get aftermarket suspension (usually coil overs), a limited slip or welded differential, and a seat with some high side bolsters and grip (so your not bouncing back and forth while sliding). I'm just starting to get into it myself, its a fun time!

Miata, RX7, 240, BMW's, sc300, sc400, corolla... anything rear wheel drive

Heavy and underpowered, but Volvo 240? CHEAP and bulletproof...

If i remember correctly you go pay and sometimes they have instructors to go out with you, give you tips and what not. Depending on how many people there are you could go about every 10 min or ever 45 min you never know till you get there

Oh well that seems pretty cool actually.

So what other cars would you guys recommend besides 240's and e30's.

Im looking for something in the 1500/2500 dollar range to get started with and I can find to much on craigs.
