Hey, are there places in Melbourne where you can take drifting lessons where they actually give you a car to learn in or do you need to bring your own car?

They have DriftSkills run by Vic Drift where they can teach you in your own car.

Or you can do the drift experience at HPF where they teach you to drift a 180sx on dirt.

I have done neither of those though, so can't say if the HPF one is any good.

Hmm...I wanted to try the 'real' track sort of experience, get used to the feel of it all. I'm 16 by the way, turning 17 in June.

Buy a drift car and go to a track day, you can get on track from as early as 14(with parents permission ofc)

I started on the street, so never realy went to any try drifting training events lol

an R31 skyline is the best/cheapest car to start with.

The motor has a bit of poke and is pretty damn reliable, the live axle diff is pretty strong, just needs a mini-spool center or weld the spider gears

You can get one in manual for like $1k

I seen a S13 Silvia on Gumtree a few days ago for $1,600. I wanted to buy it but I have two cars. I'll probably buy a S-Chassis car in the future and set it up as a drift car. Let me borrow yours, I won't crash it, I promise.

I bought my R31 for 1k and it came with heaps of stuff.

Plus when you get better you can swap the front end stuff out for S13 gear and you can get really good power and torque out of the RB30 with some simple mods.

My birthday is in about 2 weeks
I have a friend who has a birthday on the same date and he is having a big party at his house with a jumping castle and a blow up swimming pool.
He has about 50 people coming
Here is the punchline though.
He used to do sports gymnastics and now does cheerleading, which means that a lot of cheerleader girls will be at the party.

Lets just say "Challenge Accepted"
