Choosing a car for a beginner drifter

The average price of a car for drifting is approximately $ 50,000. By the standards of racing is certainly not expensive, but not all of us can afford to buy such a car. That's why now will talk about what kind of car is reasonable to choose a beginner, you do not spend the extra money.

You are probably wondering: Why on cars I start practicing drifting? The answer is very simple and follows from the reasoning: you do not need the old and dear, that was not a pity. Because to think that you will not "vpisheshsya" very reckless.

The following is a summary of the most frequently used cars for drifting.

BMW

Looking at the world drifting becomes clear that European cars are just drifting in the brand BMW 3 Series in the bodies E-30.E-36.E-46 and very rare in the configuration M-Power, for a beginner it is approached to 325 BMW in the back of E-30 or E-36, the price of a wheelbarrow will be approximately equal to 2,500 - 7,000 USD, but there are also more expensive. As for the M-power, then the E-30 is now very difficult to find, and the price of E-36 and E-46 is quite large. Cars BMW with a label "M" is not suitable for a beginner.

Conclusion: The presented model BMW are not suitable for a beginner is not because they are not likely to drift, but because they will cost you quite expensive not only to purchase, but also to maintain. Use this car is only if you have a bunch of extra money.

Mazda

Speaking of Mazda, this car is not for beginners. In drifting cars of this brand are presented in the form of models MX-5 (miata), RX-7 and RX-8, very rare for Russia, are very expensive to maintain and almost everything in order (except probably is only the RX-8 is available as officially in Russian). For a beginner it is approached to the MX-5 engine with 110 hp 1.6 Prices are starting from 6000 USD That's just the price of parts will not be small.

Bottom line: if there is a possibility you can get the MX-5, but should take into account those expensive. maintenance and spare parts.

Toyota

In this area, Toyota has provided a small, rear-wheel drive, easy avtomobilchik Toyota Corolla Levin AE 86 in Japan, it is called the Hachi-Roku, and 2nd the name Toyota Sprinter Trueno, the car was produced from 1983 to 1987. AE 86 is the only remaining rear-wheel king (all the others are front-wheel drive). This vehicle started drifting King (Keiichi Tsuchiya). Engine 1.6-liter, 130 hp weight of 960 kg. perfect weight and is already on LSD. This car is considered to be a legend, and in spite of his advanced age, he is still revered and respected drifters in all countries. For the beginner this is the best car, but not the cheapest. 

It is believed that this car is not bought, chase him around the drifters and say that this car is simply not possible to find. Boldly stating that all of this nonsense, these cars are fully in Japan. The price in Japan is from 1000-5000 USD + Rastamozhka 3200 cu (For the amount of capacity. 1.6 cu * 2) + shipping 500-1000 cu if only you do not do it, and even where you will add an average of 2,000 cu for all sorts of stuff. As a result, we get the best price in the world of car for drifting somewhere in the region of 10 000, which unfortunately is not exactly the same as the price of the car for a beginner, but if your budget allows you to take it, then take it down, it is no wonder its values ​​around the world.

By passing the AE 86, is also suitable for the beginner and MR 2 but the price starts at 10,000 USD.There is still Supra, but the price the car starts from 15,000 USD for a beginner too cumbersome and expensive to maintain.

Bottom line: if you have connections in Japan, you've been there or just you have 10,000 USD then you should take a Toyota Corolla Levin AE 86 - the best car for a beginner.

Nissan

Well, the most common brand of car for drifting is Nissan. Cars of this brand are mainly used in family Silvia (200sx its European equivalent) S13, S14, S15. Engine modifications were such: CA18DE-1.8 liters without the turbine, CA18DET - 1.8 liters. a turbine, SR20DE - 2 liters. without the turbine, SR20DET - 2 liters. a turbine. These vehicles are ideal for drifting, and if you take and collect Drift cars from around the world that half of them will be a Nissan in these bodies. For the beginner S15 - a dream for the future (the price of about 15 000), again due to the fact that it would be a pity to kill. A better start with the S13, there are 2 options in the back of the car. The first was produced 1988-1993 and is exclusively Japanese version with right-hand drive, this car can be purchased for $ 3000 and the likelihood that the engine will CA18DE-1.8 liters without the turbine on the machine is 90% and not immediately add another $ 3000 average Replacement engine SR20DET (this amount will go down box, engine, clutch and work). 

The second option in the back of S13 - is its European counterpart, LHD, 200SX which was issued in 1989-1998, as well, and this car was sold in the Japanese market, the difference is that in Europe were set engines CA18DE and CA18DET and sold on the Japanese machine even with SR20DET engines. Car 200SX (S13) with SR20DET engine but can be difficult to find, at least have to go to Vladivostok, and it will cost about 8,000 USD for right-hand drive counterpart. Find the car with the engine CA18DET - 1.8 liters. the turbine is much easier and the price will be around 5000 - 6000 cu (LHD) is of course better to replace the engine on SR20DET, but in principle all still have strong options CA18DET. The difference Car Nissan Silvia S13 and the Nissan 240SX (S13) is in the external differences while filling completely identical. Also novice suit S14 (price of 8000 USD).

Nissan SkyLine also succeeded in drifting, although not very suitable for this. For a beginner and not very rich drifter, it can be interesting, since it is the best value for the number of horses under the hood (the price of 8000 per cu turbo coupe on the mechanics).

Conclusion: For the beginner perfect Nissan Silvia S13 (200SX). Also, if there is a possibility you can purchase S14, 240SX and Skyline.

As a result, I want to highlight one more point:

- The cost of 2 000-10 000

- Rear-wheel drive

- Year: 1985-1993

- The engine 150 - 200 hp

- Average technical condition (many still have to change it)

- Subject to dents, scratches, rust, etc. (That was not so sorry)

Yes, the newcomer need such because starting and not being able to do, you'll love in case of kill your car. Will wear the engine, gearbox, clutch, brakes, body, etc. because drifting is driving almost always at his limit. And will be a long time before you learn to drift without causing harm to the car and it agragatam.

If you take an expensive car, you will be hard to learn to drift, as you will not think about drifting, but about how to not be imprinted somewhere.

The most important thing - it's not afraid to break the car and focus on drifting. Good luck in choosing cars!
