Jeffie...hot Z...
Lantis...I would highly suggest if your looking for a drift car...then go with an old Z.
I've been doing drifting for a few years, still not good at it, but I'm improving.
Screw the AE86...you'll spend more time fixing it than driving it...and the parts for it are stupidly expencive now. I had one, built it, and spent more time building it than what was needed...granted...I turned out to be a hot little car, but the kid I sold it to....well...he's dumping more into it to make it a monster.
The 240SX...easy drift car...so easy to drift that anyone can do it. spend the money for the better thing like the SR20 and such...and you'll have an instant drifter......sadly...everyone has one. It's so dorky now going to any drift event and only seeing that one car...couse nobody has the nuts to be different.
Do a domestic Muscle car...and you be plotted as a redneck...
RX-7's...hot, but good luck finding Apex seals...
OLD Z...well...any engine can bolt it...literally....from LS1's to SR20's, RB's to 3.1 stroker motors...and the drivetrain is simple, and easy to work with...I can pop a trany out, change a clutch and pop the trany back in uner 2 hours. since Datsuns have been racing since they were made back in the late 70's...there is ton's of aftermarket support for them...and they are stupid cheap for thing...hell...I've had people just give me stuff for the Z. and with a decent paintjob, the right cage or rollbar and other chassis stiffing items like strut towr bars...will make the car super solid, the suspention and other items....are easy to get and install at half the price of the 240sx counterparts,...and hell...it just looks good out on the track doing the drifts.
