Jap Track/Drift car less £1000???

[Tony Harrison]

Hey people,

Do ya think its possible to pick up a Jap motor for basicly gutting out for track and possible drifting, like mx5 say or a 200sx for around £1000?

Doesnt have to be in mega condition, just thought id ask for your thoughts.

I cant bring myself around to stripping my 82, as much as I really want to.

So yeah any ideas??

standard mx-5 has bugger all power for drifting mate... as for doing it for less than a grand ! possible if you get the right deals!

 

[Tony Harrison]

Ha, ah well.

Its just I have that £££ spunk on summat atm and its right buring a hole in my bank account.

Looking around and most 200sx go for about £2000 upwards, in which case I think I would keep on saving buy an RX7 and chop the Starbo in.

And after seeing the sideways sliders (sorry) at Donny, it always gets me thinking sexy thoughts.

LOL please elaborate my good friend, but only in such a manner that does not piss off the mods, as

A) you have mentioned an item possibly to sell

B) i have asked you about it

Mate you can buy a drift ready volvo 340 for about £500-£700.
Trust me that will do you fine.
I learnt to drift in one and they are the tits

That has cropped up in my mind afew times about the Ovlovs but I dont think I can just bring myself to it, haha, I mean could I?

Im known as a young man who has had wierd and wonderful motors, but it may a bit too odd.

 

[streetracer_starlet]

Pick up an old n/a rx7 for £1k

 

[Tony Harrison]

Ill bear that in mind Streetracer man.

Keep the suggestions coming guys, I need sleep and the missus is partly clothed in bed too, I bid you farewell 'till tomoro.

Cheers

left a message on your members garage ad

get yourself an old cefiro or laurel. dont know if you get them over there but they are cheap skidders. even a gts-t r32 or a s13

 

[parkiboy]

buy an s13 mate there dirt cheap!!

i actually prefeer them to s14s too

 

[Beaker]

If you want a track car for under a grand get a Mk1 MR2. Bullet proof mechanics, a 4age screaming away just 6 inches behind your head and handling that will destroy most cars in the corners. Very cheap to buy. Bit difficult to drift but drifting only means you are going slower round a corner

Ovlov 340 with welded diff and minilites! Like Ad said! Old 3 series BMW again with welded diff... Cheap and cheerful and easy to get skiddin!
