Drifting Help Please

Mayor · 03-27-2004, 08:54 PM

Hi. Been Reading And Watching A Drifting Videos For Over 2 Years. I'm Getting My First Car This Year. I Want A Drifting Car So I Can Learn How TO Drift With It. My Question Is I'm Hoping To Buy A RX-8 Becuase I Understand That Its An FR Car. Becuase I Dont Want To Jump In A Import From Japan, But IN The Future I'm Hoping TO Buy An Rx-7.

My Question Is, Is The RX-8 A Good Car To Drift? OR Do I have To Set Some Things On It Or Does It Drift Stock? My Other Question Is Would It Be Better To Buy An Import rx-7?

Please Help Me Out. By The Way I Live In Canada.

markeese180sx · 03-27-2004, 09:00 PM

wow..an rx8 for your first car? i heard that the rx8s have low power...i would go for an fd3s if u have enough money for an rx8 but i would suggest a cheap car for your first drift car

Mayor · 03-27-2004, 09:30 PM

yeah fd3s is a good car but you can't really get them here in canada and i wouldnt want to import it from japan cuz it would cost like 25000$ o yah and the rx-8 is used.

Mayor · 03-27-2004, 09:31 PM

markeese180sx · 03-27-2004, 09:33 PM

Mayor · 03-27-2004, 09:37 PM

yes. i can test drive it and i will before doing any thing. but its hard to find rx-7 here i mean an rx-8 u can just buy from a dealer. but rx-7 for example the 89 the only way i know is import from japan cuz i never saw from like a used dealer mag or a used dealer. do you guys know where i can find one? i live in ontario if this helps.

lol WORD.. lol

yea man i hope i get a good car too, but you might not get what you want for your first car. Rx8 will give you a high insurance.

Rx7's you might have to rebuild the engine if it has a lot of km's.

Mayor · 03-28-2004, 09:42 AM

yah but i can't eaven get an rx-7 here.

nissanguy_24 · 03-28-2004, 09:56 AM

a RX-8 would probably be a great drift car, However they are so expensive. Drifting is hard. I have probably just recently damaged some suspension components, so i will need those replaced. Alot of guys have crashed. You will destroy tires, and attract the attention of cops, A nice new shiny RX-8 will do that.

Get a inexpensive car a older second generation FC rx-7 or a Nissan S13 are good examples, both are lightweight rear wheel drive and have a good weight distribution.

If your considering buying a new Rx-8 then you want have a problem picking up one of these cars. just look around towns, small towns at leas there are always a place for a good deal ont hese cars. A older toyota Corrolla 86 wouldnt be a bad idea, look in small towns like i said, because they will cost too much on the net. once you get a car, come back and i will give you hints and tips on learning.

,ok buy a cheap drift car first,you will get some scars on that peice of course,a fd for sure is a grand car to drift.then go practice at wal mart.
