If you are serious about drifting competetivley get a S14, cut the springs and weld the diff and get some seat time and add uprated parts as you can afford it.

If you just want to fuck around the world is your oyster!

Either a cheap s13 (or an e36 beemer if money was a bit tighter) would be my choice.

E30325 or E36325, had both and with the lsd they are both very good cheap drift cars. My E36 gets hammered every single time i go out in it, spends pretty much 90 percent of its time sideways and its not(touch wood) let me down once. Prob did 10+ drift days and streeto drift time in the E30 and lots of streeto in the E36 and all is good.

Parts are cheap.
