any community that actually spends a decent amount of time on R&D purely on increasing the duration and intencity on doses is worthy of a clap

AMEN to that. They have a whole thread dedicated to does pipes and their construction on calaisturbo.com ahaha

lol. i like marvis.
makes it more interesting.

don't always agree with what he says, but can see where he comes from.


on topic:
s13, basic mods, skids.

[marvis]

Thanks.

Now as everyone has mentioned, depending on your tastes, I would go something along the lines of a R31, S13, MA61/RA65 and I'm sure there are a few others you can find and this also depends on what you really want to be doing, like upgrading engine later on etc? I would be starting off with something with mild power and decent suspension and learing how to steer, then get power as your skill progresses, otherwise you will end up around a pole, like most the R33 drivers in our area..

Harley Decombe actually inspired me to get my transitions snappier, that commo can snap like any car, and hes *bloody* modest about having good skills. he was even moddist when i said everyone at broadwater cheered 100 times more for his run then any other.

in summary commo drivers can contribute positively to this site and drifting in general.

side note; ive come accross plenty of straight up bogans taht have s13s so who gives a F***, were all a bit bogan anyway. back to my VB

back to my VB

[old mate]

well if you do get a commo you will get more cheers from people. everyone loves a local and a v8. well i dont but most do.

[locky g]

Amen to that!

Vb is expensive Mez u rich kent lol

and yeah if u wanna drift on a budget buy a 31 or s13 cause parts for drifting are more readly aviable

just my 2 cents

[driftke70]

you can build a capable r31 for under 4k,

you can build a capable keto for 4k

you can build a capable sil for 6 k

hell you can build a rona with a beams for under 4k.

[MeZ]

Why the hate on flat brims
fuuuuu

lol

Locky whats cheaper than VB but delivers that wholsome taste of goodness??

the car does not the man make peoples. :)

focus on the fun of driving them, not who else has one ...

imo there are better choices, but there are also worse. Plenty of local support if you know where to look for go fast bits, and replacing breakables is cheap as s*** :)

get a flogger vr, strip it and weld the F*** out of it, suspension and drive the thing....wheres the "commodores arnt ment to be here "crap come from?

drifting is about having fun and doing cool s*** with your car?

i ate a big red candle

on topic: u should buy the s13 im selling

[slide1600]

there are 2 solid viewpoints you can take on this topis. That renders it one never to be resolved

[xcedricx]

on topic.

depending on how much your into drifting should dictate how much you want to spend. if your just getting into it and looking for a good base to start, r31's FTW, the motor has enough grunt, you can bolt in s13 coilovers etc... S13 after that and then maybe tackle toyota's are ke70's, corona's will require engine conversions sooner rather than later.

my advice:
make a top 5 list of cars you would like,
make a budget of how much you want to spend then times that by 2
find a fourm that cators for each of thoes car e.g. R31skylineclub, nissan silvia, AE86 driving club, toymods etc... and find as much info you can and go from there.

off topic:

i drive this slightly modified micra right.

S13, R32, civic, Datsun drivers, 80's toyota drivers etc... usually just want to have a look, give me the thumbs up, nod, smile etc..

R33, WRX STI etc... usually see my car then give the chin flick followed by a dose as if to say "i see your car is modified but only costed >10k wheres mine was a 40k base price + i spent 4k at bob jane for these blinging wheels, you should respect my indviduallity as theres not many WRX's with 18's and a zorst around these days"

commodoress.... they want to drag, i do not kid~! no one trys to drag race me apart from commodores.

commodore vs. 1.3ltr micra... WTF.
"aww man, i raced this car today man, oath my V8 commodore smashed him"... "what was the car?"... "a micra man"
thats like braging that you beat your wife... who's in a wheelchair.

falcons... never really had a problem with them...
