Good cheap diffin/drifting car

daylers

What would be you're choice of a cheap car for diffin/drifting...the main choice seems to be is200 or BMW 318i…which would be best

Foxhole Norman

C Class Merc laaaaaaaaaaaawd.

W202 C-Clans for sure!

Bandara

GLANZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

C class. Best kept secret for years

From honest to goodness research, the 318is is a soft motor and too complicated to really get my vote. 323,325, etc. Yes.

IS200 is a decent enough yoke, the 6I is a bit weak but can be worked on, ripe for a beams transplant down the road.

Merc C200, more kompressor more better.

Mazda MX5, not the conventional choice but by god they work. They're stupidly simple and reliable too.

For pulling wheelies you mean ?

Wheelies and donuts and party rings.
Sounds delicious.

C200 makes a great diffy. Most haven't copped onto how well those things will go round once welded. And they'll take a lot more abuse than a beamer.

No, never!

As said, research. I'm an academic.

Nothing. It's your ability to detect sarcasm that has a problem.

Ah sure hes having an auld shneer

As for drifting luxobarges, I'd love to see some more being used for drifting. Theres an absolutely unreal pic of a Jag in the ring, looks awesome

OP, as somebody who is involved in rallying don't even bother to think of doing your diffin near a rally. Don't even do it on roads used by rallying, even a few months before or after an event. I've spent month trying to fix the damage some of the knuckle dragging diffin "experts" do by their antics near stages or at events. The locals blame the rally for dragging and encouring these idiots with their carry on late at night.

Seriously, talk to any rally organiser and they'll tell you of the damage they cause. Or talk to a resident of Killarney about the May Bank Holiday weekend. If I had my way, I'd take the cars, crush them and charge them for the disposal.

If you want to go drifting, do it on private ground and bloody behave.

+1 re private ground.
Couldnt agree more, and I've stated that on these boards before.

Even when talking to my friend Jim McShane, carney chap that he is (he's quite well known in the deep south for pickup truck customization) agreed with your perspective of keeping fun activities like diffin/drifting for private ground.

You know what, it'll start shortly here in Galway I'd say. The Galway international is on this weekend and I'm driving Car Accountability for the event. Give it a few hours here and it will kick off.,...

Haha ah no I'm young but I'm more sense then that I have a concreat yard and live close to a track that has grass roots drifting events several times a year

CianRyan

I'd love a slab yard.

It might sound like a joke, but a hearse actually can be a cheap buy. Most are old Ford Granada's, 2.9 litre, RWD. I know a guy who picked one up for around €1500. Drove the balls of it up some forrestry road, some of them are blocked by gates, and are privately owned.
Also, a transit is surprisingly able to drift!
