Which little Ginger bloke was it? Mitto? I forget. TBH I think James is better than Mitto these days! He got loads better over the course of last season and this season (If it was the other ginge, BonBon, I take it all back, as IMHO he the most talented drifter in the UK )

They good, though some people in the UK make both look a bit crap, and then some people from Japan make even those people look a bit crap, its suprising how amazing some are!

And yeah, shame more people dont realise, but its like a lot of things, without experiencing it 1st hand its hard to know, but easy to chat bout it.
IIRC Beefy said it was a massive eye opener for him when he got to go in the ProDrift guys Sil80.

S12s, yeah no intercooler as standard, 135bhp or summat from a 1.8turbo But exhaust, filter, intercooler, and 15psi, and you got 180-190bhp with about 200lbft of torque, more than enough, esp as the T2 spins up from nothing.
Gonna get hold of a 4x4 Saff cooler for mine ASAP so i can wang the boost up, even tho TBH even with the 135bhp or whatever I got its fine for 3rd gear stuff in the dry, its good really, get better easier if you dont rely on power.

Mine is supriusingly low miles, good nick, n long MOT, so quite cheap, but 500quid can get you a perfectly good one.
500quid is about average id say, a quite big spec one has been for sale on SXOC for a bit for 600quid.
On DW recently there been a yellow one converted to a pickup truck and a matt black one, both with mods like wheels, exhaust etc etc etc, both for about 500quid.
