Both are good car's for the sideway's action, personally i would get a AE86 as i love the look of them an its a little smaller than the silvia...

I'm swaying more towards the silvia too and that's the kit I want haha just worried the ae86 will be under powered

Have you drifted before?
If not go with the Nissan, longer wheel base will make it easier to hold instead of the snappy handling of a short wheel base car.
As for body kits, leave them off until you stop hitting things!
Also take into considerastion of buying parts when things go wrong(which they will on both cars) how easyit would be to replace.

you need a licence to compete in drifting events

You can just arrive at places like Bishopscourt and drift away after you pay your entry fee. You dont need a drift license.
Although you do need to be a good drifter before you get into something like ProDrift

I agree with the others, an old beemer or something....weld the diff and you are sorted. Half the guys who drift dont pay for the license...have a look at driftworks.com
forum for drifters.
I wanted an S14a for a while...dont forget to take into account the cost in tyres etc....not a cheap sport
