[supermodellista]

mmmmmmmmmmmm... i think i will take the fd or the ae86.
good information

[dae]

remember blue book has no affect on the price of ae86's

you should list pick ups too. you can find an old mazda b series for dirt cheap and swap in either a 1.8 from a miata or use a rotory from an rx7.
nissan pickup with sr20dets
and toyotas with a 4age or 3sge.

[nissanguy_24]

Do not list pickups, if a few guys who know what they are doing want to work on specalty drift pickup thats fine, but we should not endorse the idea that a pickup is a good beginner drift car. I rather see domestics named.

blue book on an fc $4.5k? are we talking the turbo II? i just picked up an n/a fc with some decent mods for $2k by the way i wouldn't reccomend an fc if you're afraid to turn a wrench, it's a great car and i love her, but she's cranky at times, i think i finally got the car running consistantly but that took a while and some cash, so if you're looking to add performance mods to it off the bat you may consider another option because the first step will be fixing what the previous owner neglected, although i'm sure this is true on any older car you'll get

theyre a little high prices... i think mybe its because im a little stingy...pff..lol

ahh yes stinginess, that's probably it, haha cause i know i am for sure

[tsi drift]

I was just reading about the Conquest/ starion being drift cars.

Conquest TSi(starion)
year:83-89
make: Chrysler(Mitsubishi)
KBB:N/A but i know you can pick them up dirty cheap
Weight Dist: (front/rear)54/46
Engine: OHC 2.6L turbo charged 4 cyl Intercooled
Hp stock: 175
Tq stock: 210 ft/lbs

The only flaw is be prepared to wrench on it a bit...and if you can, find 88-89 rims with the 16x8 fronts and 16x9 rears ...they are great cars just tend to understeer a bit...i am still working on a good setup for mine

4 banger mustangs are cheap and with about 2 grand you can get a killer suspension built then later on add really good coil overs. as for the pick up thing. i don't get it?? i would think they would require a little more driver skill to drift with but other then that, they would be a cheaper platform to build off of. i am not suggesting some one new to drifting should buy a pickup and start to drift it in stock form but once it is lowered a bit it is very stable. although, there might not be enough slip angle compared to an s13/14. my 02 tacoma is pretty good but i do have 1200 in the supsension with non adjustable shocks. plus 800 in the rear for the lsd. and in all actualality, i saw a F150 lighting two weeks ago at an autox (which i race in) racing and other then his 20's it was stock and he looked fine. and he ran like .6 seconds slower then me, which isnt bad considering his size and weight and the rims and tires he ran. so why wouldn't a pick up be good for a beginer?
