Possible Drift Car?
I have been doing some research on drift and it looks to be fun. I have a 85 300zx sitting at the house. It needs a little bit of TLC as far as body work goes. The only thing is the car hasnt been started in a good 3 years and it does need a clutch. Im not 100% sure that it will start right up and run. Could this/ would this be a problem? Of course it will need suspension work, tires, and ect. It is a RWD car and it has about 160hp, 170 ft. lbs, and weighs around 3000 lbs. I was wandering if this is a possible good beginner drift car?

Engine swap is definatley a must the stock is garbage, not much power, hard to work on, not much after market support. Ive always liked them though.

Re: Possible Drift Car?
Ok, just saying, I was sarcastic before
engine sucks
ugly
not a large aftermarket
drives like a boat
etc, etc,
Anything can be done with money, but you have to look at the money/ benifit ratio here. Z31 turbo's still suck. That car Eugene posted is badass, but part of what makes it badass is rarity, and all the custom one-off parts he made for it.
I would say try to get into something more conventional and then go from there, personally.
