well..

i know with the current interest in drifting, the prices of any thing rear wheel drive has shot through the roof.

ive been toying with the idea of getting a drift car for well over a year.
i was considering getting a sierra but couldn't find 1 anywhere for under £500
then a 360 or 340 but again price was about £500.

im trying to get somthing under £200 that will go sideways!
(and i dont mean using makies trays!)

Give me 2 secs i have a lil list.......

i know how you feel mate, I got a loan out 3days ago purposely to buy a drifter but was let down by the one i wanted. its funny cos before i read this thread i was lookin at some trampers on DW

are any of them under 200£!!!!!!!!!!

was looking at this but he wants 850£ and its on 500£ on ebay!

I don't know, Your looking for the car not me, Go search them up

Ano yer, penguin you lazy bugger, get searchin, shawns done the list now you do the easy bit

I've had 2 sub-£200 drifters- BMW E28 528i and Carlton GSI.Both were great drifters with LSDs fitted but Carlton only lasted 3 laps of Elvington then the engine seized due to oil pump failure...DOH!

I think i must be goin a bit strange in my old age but im likin' these 340's with the minilites, an after seein how drifty tony's is id be quite tempted to get one of these.

lsd as standard?

The BMW-I fitted a LSD from a 535i. Carlton LSD as standard

My 360 is up forsale BUT you must be quick as it will be gone friday.
try

www.trampdrift.com me and chris are the peps on here who could get you sidways as we both started from the bottom (chris get to the top faster though )

dont let people tell you that you need big power to drift as you dont.

the 360 drifts verwell and for people who know oscar he said i drift it verwell and the boy has skills as he proved in it.

Don't put yourself down Tony-you did well in it. After all it is not an easy car to keep broadside after initiation

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!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-CHEV...858QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

would deffo need a red top! had to look twice to see the 1 its got! and these are rwd?

Try this one
1987 ISUZU PIAZZA TURBO rwd drift
drift

been looking at this aswell, must be the only 1 around as i carnt find another 1?

thats actually quite good, looks a bit like an old shape celica.

just got that from the piazza owners club! pretty rare then!

Welded diffs are NOT a nightmare on the road as long as you remember that you are driving a car with one fitted when goin round tight corners or parking etc.You will also not need to clutch kick nearly as much with a welder as a pose to an lsd!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Celica...290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

s13 are good little motors need the diff welding up though.

Also carole nash will insure a s13 on a classic policy now they have quoted me £260 fully comp on the car i am getting.

just buy another clio you fool that went sideways and around!

yer went sideways and then nearly killed me!

s13's are a bit expensive tho arnt they? and from what ive herd turbos cause major problems?
