geez man you live under a rock I could probably go out and buy one with less than what is in my pocket right now at about 10 different places and that is without ever looking.
(btw the Gn was only single turbo )

K-cars as in Kei Jidosha (rough translate: small car) Such as Subaru 360, Mitsubishi minica etc. Not the "K cars" as in the Plymouth Reliant and such.

there are newer "K-Cars" as well, such as all the mini-cubes (Wagon R) etc. in Japan these days.

it's VERY easy to take the 7MGTE turbo inline-6 from the earlier Supra's and shove it in a Cressida along with the 5-speed. some sport suspension, new wheels, and voila. go-fast family sedan that would be perfect for drifting. and they're fairly cheap over here.

Took the words right out of my mouth, plus I am actually thinking on getting one of these and a Jdm 7mgte which are dirt cheap(under $1000 with uncut harness and ECU) either that or continue my hunt for a rwd Corolla or Datsun 510

Dorikin is posting a bunch of BS what on earth are those cars on there for? they wouldnät help much

Z cars are too heavy although people do use them

[Layla's Keeper]

Only the Z31-Z32 generations were heavy, NSX. The S30 chassis Z's (240Z, 260Z, 280Z) were featherweights that could make great power from the L series straight six.

Besides, weight can be a benefit if used properly. I'd think, with the proper amount of tire beneath the thing to catch it when the time comes, a slightly heavier car could be beneficial for a learning drifter since it'd be easier to shift the weight around under braking.

You do know what a contridiction is don't you?

[Dorikin]

NSX, what are you talking about, Im just bringing to light that you dont need a S-chassis or AE86 to drift.

New one

Lexus SC300

[carguyinok]

("Maserati BiTurbo. Trust me")

You took the words from my mouth I had an 86 Maserati BiTurbo And let me say that was a drifting dream car bone ass stock
Thats one car I would buy in a hartbeat if it wasnt for parts cost if you can even find them.
This is from someone that owns a 240Z for the same reason
Other then the parts deal

Magazines like Super Street have been doing articles on drifting in SC300s/Soarers for a while..

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

1560 KG 3439 lbs Skyline GTR V-Spec II

1595 KG 3517 lbs 300ZX TT

1240 KG 2733 lbs Silvia S15 SpecR

1230 KG 2711 lbs Mazda RX7

970 KG 2138 lbs AE86

The difference between the ideal choice cars, IE the most popular drift cars and the ones mentioned that are not IE 300ZX and the american stuff is the weight, The US cars and the 300ZX will in no way come close to how nimble and how much more impressive the drifts pulled off by the other cars are. Yes i have seen the video with the BNR34 and S15 drifting and the S15 drifts looked better.

I'm sorry but just because its rear wheel drive it doesn't mean its going to pull off some neat drift.

Did i mention the other cars are longer too. Big old american cars also have crap suspension unless you want to spend a fortune making it handle correctly its not worth it

the Opel Omega is FR i just checked a Topgear magazine.

[Dori Tengoku]

you guys have left out Volvos not the newer ones, but the old FR Volvos are great for drifting after a little tune up

Mags liek Super Street are crap.But thats another issue.

But I didnt mean Uenos Soarer, like, a high dollar car.

I meant Big V8 with auto trans SC, because, lets face it, only 1% of SCs sold were 3.0 I6 5-speeds.

Ive been thinking, why not twin turbo the 3UZ V8...

It would probably be more practical to drop in a 2JZ or even an LS1 for that matter.

that's what i think too. the engine that the 300 comes with stock IS a 2JZ, but not turbo-charged, isn't it? or a 1JZ? i'm not 100% sure.

regardless, about the only Soarer that's had coverage is Ueno's sex-machine. since they're relativley expensive when compared to AE86's and 240SX's, you still don't see too many of them done up for drift. i would still call them a non-popular drift car.

Oh, no doubt, LS1 may push it, but 2JZ would go right in.

I just have a turbo-8 fetish after checking out the Audi RS6, thats all
