Hey everyone! I've been lurking here for awhile and decided to sign up. I've been wanting to get into the sport of drifting for over a year now, but I really haven't taken any action and decided it's about time I do. First of all, I'm 18 and I work at a auto recycling center (pretty much a junkyard), while going to college. My dad has been working there ever since the place opened I think 15+ years ago. My dad used to drag race a lot with his friends but that died down. I was talking to him about drifting and we're going to work together on this, but I need some advice.
We've been looking at cars, but we're not sure what is required for a drift car. A standard rwd is a given but thats as far as our knowledge goes.
1) We think there is a 240SX out in the yard, but not to sure, I hear that is a great start. But what about mustangs? There are quite a few out in the junkyard, and I've seen them drifting. Are those good cars for drifting?
2) What kind of motor is ideal for drifting and with what kind of mods (keep in mind I'm just starting out, so I want to keep it simple for now if I can, I don't want more power than I can handle)
3) What should be done about the suspension, a lot of work has to go into that right?
Any advice you all could give would be great! Now I'm going to go back into the forums and keep reading
