Might Try couple of sites or drifing forums...

When it comes to drifting, imho, a fool and his money are soon parted.

But it is definitely a high-energy motorsport - you might join southeastdrift.com forum for chat among GA area drifters.

Drifting a MKIII is going to be a challenge. Very, very heavy car...

Building a drift car is a terrible idea.

How often do you think you will get to practice?
How often do you think you will compete?

ima lightin it up as much as i can

idk, when ever theirs events ill be able to

i just want somting different

dont listen to andy. he eats too many hater tots. his s14 is stock. not to mention its an automatic. :]

lol, idc what people say, ive already set my mind to it, and as for weight, i drrive a 3000gt, like the heviest car ever made.... so im ust to a heavy car, and i did get it to slide a little at the last autox

Do what makes you happy man, even if others disagree or don't understand. Nothing at all wrong with being an individual in a world that stresses conformity.

exactly, to me mk3 > s13/s14 looks wise anyways, plus, its not a nissan

keep talkin like that and i wont be lookin out for you no more. maybe it wasnt andy eating those hater tots. it was YOU!

lol i just said that last thing to see whatd you say, but i do think itd be cool to see a drift car thats not a 240

haha, speaking of haters.



I wasn't bashing you. I was honestly asking serious questions. I just like to look at things realistically. I really think you should think about those questions I asked. You don't have to give me an answer, but you should at least find out for your self. It's always good to think everything through before investing thousands of dollars.

To me its all about the money to happiness ratio. Are you going to be happy investing $15,000 and only getting to drive your car a handful of times a year? If so, build away.

There are plenty of drift cars that are not 240's. Those people tend to have WAY deeper pockets then most.

i know its not alll 240's, idk, i just want to do somthing different form dragracing or autox

wanting something different is cool sometimes but there is the other side too there is really no one around here that shares that same interest if they do they dont have a purpose built drive car so you'd be goin to those events all alone.

I know all to well b/c when I got a racing four wheeler I had no one to ride with, its fun for a little while but the shit gets boring when your out there by yourself. Then I had a bike and had a handfull of people to ride with untill they either sold their bike, wrecked it, or moved. Then I had a bike and no one to ride with so it sat for months and months untill I practically gave it away.

If I had 15K to spend Id buy a car already finished. buy/build something you can drive and enjoy though in my expirience owning a purpose built anything is boring.

its alright kyle.. not a lot of people understand the pure awesomeness of drifting. ill be attending just about every drift event around. you are more than welcome to come too. and once you meet some other drifters, you'll never be at an event alone.

plus ill be able to drag race it too, but its def gonna be set up for drift.
plus when i lose when ever i go drag race, ill have an excuse

2 pretty big differences in suspension, camber, alignment, and tires between drifting and drag racing setups.

go to firestone get a life time alignment on the car and you can go from drift to drag alignment to autox alignment

how does a lifetime alignment work? Ive never heard about this.. Im sure they wont completely change your setup for different kind of racing whenever you want. They would loose soo much money if they did that.
