For £200 id be amazed if you even find something that goes forwards

There was a bit of discussion abot this on the SXOC a few days ago. £200 may buy something that runs, but I doubt it'll be fun or RWD - if it is RWD its gonna be a shitter.

£500 should buy a decent 2.0 DOHC Sierra - fit an xr4x4 diff, and away you go.

...the LSD was also an option on the Carlton, and not all have them fitted.

quick look on autotrader shows nothing worth drifting for 5ton, mainly 1.8's, maybe a 2.0 estate.

They come up on Ebay from time to time...

Think I paid £400 for one a few years ago, not that expensive, so wasnt that bothered when I stuffed it

Pity this is so far away..

Thers one sitting on your door step


MINE

before it goes this wkend

interseting!

What about a VW Beetle,RWD with engine weight over wheels.

Or a Capri

Never really seen a beetle goin sidways? would have tought the was too much weight at the back?
capri mite be worth finding tho? have herd that they can go for a fair bit of money tho?

Manta?

Ideally you need an LSD to drift.

A welded diff is a nightmare on the road, makes the tyres scrub and the car just wants to understeer or oversteer and its very hard to balance.

XR4x4 Diffs are easy to find, Manta Diffs aint (Only the 400 had them std) and I also belive you need to swap XR diff internals to get them on to a cappa.

Of course you can always stay with an open diff, but its hard to keep the back end out and they can be unpredictable.

idealy i aint gonna be using this as my daily driver so welded is fine by me

E30s are cheap as chips there is one down by b/park station its a 325 aswell

£375 i think.

only the mk1 xr4x4 diffs have a lsd as i found out when i bought a mk2 off scooby only to learnt this DOH

the volvo's sold as of friday otherwise you could of had a play in it to see what you though.

there is also acouple on driftworks at the min and go try trampdrift too

What about a vauxhall chevette. Gheap as chips, an somethin different. Quite easy to drop a red top 16 valver in too!
