  • What should i get 4 first car?

    all right, right now i'm split between a fiero or a 300zx turbo, however i am open to different cars as long as they arent necisarrily "popular" in the drifting world. Thanks for your input

    Get what you want. But word of advice. Don't get the Fiero. Why on earth would you want that? Sure it's RWD and rare but it's rare for a reason. Think about it. If you want something that isn't normal in the Drift world, then you get to spend 2-3 times more money than everyone else. Everyone uses certain cars for a reason. Cheap parts, cheap bodies and cheap cheap cheap. You can find used parts, new parts and junk parts. Good luck finding more than one (if any) coilover set-ups for a Fiero.

    Also search.......this question been asked 5 MILLION times in the past. It's been answered.

    This isn't meant as a flame, it's meant as a wake-up call. You and the other 5 MILLION people that have asked this question could have found out all the info yourself. Also, get what you want!!!!!!!!!.

      A Fiero would be interesting. Rear engine, rear wheel drive right? They're almost getting to be classics now, might be hard to find. I wanted one for my first car way back, but my dad wouldn't let me

      I'm not sure about weight distribution or how easy they are to drift. I haven't heard too much about them except they're somewhat prone to catching fire, fun fun, what I've heard anyways.

      300ZX might be a bit expensive. It may not be popular, but it's not unknown either. The lowest I found on AutoTrader was $2300 for an '84. For under $10k, you can get a mid 90's one. AutoTrader doesn't have a filter for turbo. Market value of a '95 turbo is around $10000, a '90 at $4000 (Edmunds.com).

        I say an 86 or 240. Thats yur best shot. If you REALLLLYYYY dont want one, buy a Miata. There arent TOOO many of those.

            Why not a Celica or Cressida? If you want a Fiero you might as well get a first generation MR2. It's just like a Fiero except better.

              you know i didnt really think about a miata, it would be kind of interesting to drift with that, i mean they are light so that will be something i'm going to look into...

                I think Miatas also have 50/50 weight distribution

                  if they don't have at least 50/50 its really freakin close, and they pretty much come out of the box ready to drift

                    Fieros got a bad rep due to the underpowered, fire-prone '84 model. The later GT and Formula models (especially the '88) are actually quite good. Heavier than an MR2 but with a much torquier more powerful engine (unless you can find a rare SC MR2).

                        DATSUN 510 shell with an SR20DET engine swap. The shell is hard to find vs. the engine

                        I would rock one

                          i was doing some research on the miata and yes it has 50/50 weight distrobution(sp?) and they are already pretty much (suspension wise) ready to drift

                          as for parts in the junkyard, i'm not sure. If anyone happens to own a junkyard or knows someone that does, if you dont mind, ask about miata parts
