Whats a good drift car for under 10k

Hey All,

Recently i have been looking into getting a drift car so far i've been looking into getting an r33 gtst but i am unsure of how reliable they would be on track and how good they would be for drifting. I know a lot of people seem to go with the s chassis but availability in SA seem to be very low and the few that come up are to far out of what i want to spend. some other options for drift cars under the 10k budget would be greatly appreciated. Also i want the car to be a respectable looking car cause it will be used as a weekender.

Cheers

Yeah R33 best bang for buck.

a filthy 180.

Don't know if you can get them where you are but Laurels and Cefiros are popular budget track cars over here.

ahah i though about that but i want to keep the car as respectable looking as possible so i can drive it on the streets as well as take it to the track. If a decent 180 comes up ill defiantly consider one of those.

It's a myth. They don't exist. All 180s are fantastically filthy.

I'm sorry but 'track' and 'reliable' and 'registered' and 'under 10k' cannot co-exist in the same vehicle, at least in anything with forced induction.

I'm happy to be proven otherwise but please have a scan of my105/Tracksales/Carsales/Gumtree/Ebay and report back on what you find

Not cheap over here haha

 

R32 or 33 would be the best options

If you can squeeze the budget a bit more maybe a JZX100, probably a dirty word around here though

Adam Lz on youtube has a 240 that he uses on track and drives it on road. Obviously there is going to be little issues here and there but i just dont want it breaking down every single time i drive it.

yeah would definitely push the budget up a little bit more to have a JZX100. I've seen a couple of decent looking ones on car sales for under 15k which would work with the budget.

I hate you bastards. Haha. Want to help me out and send me some C33 parts? Lol

It isn’t uncommon to hear someone putting out 600hp out of the VR6 engine in the R32.  With some transmission work and modifications, you could be on your way to having a five-door Lambo killer.

What does that have to do with drifting for under $10,000?
