heylo,

i have a 1979 toyota corolla liftback. it has 2t celica engine in it with extractors, new cams, double barrel carbie, head work and a few others. it produces around 125-130hp at the fly wheel.

would this car be a reasonable drift car to start with?
and would i need to change the setup of the car besides the ride height as it already has lowered springs? (i would like it to drive as normal as possible but still get it to drift when the time comes) althought a little sliding here and there wont hurt

any other specs needed to make a good conclusion can be obtained.

That would be cool to see drifting, but yeah anything you can do to lower the car more and make it stiffer will improve your response and controll. Good luck man.

Shouldnt. You will just have to rely on techniques other than power-over. Ive slid in one of my miatas stock and had no trouble.
