| 50/50 is good but will be tricky as i would imagine it to have lots of grip and that means lots of speed which is wat you need but could be a bit tricky when u learning ..
engine sounds weak ish , bhp isnt a huge factor in drifting and the torque figure you quoted should be suffeciant enough... thought about putting a 13b engine or even an sr20 in to it ???
and as its said above , maybe look at getting a beaten up 240sx or a cheap series 3/4 rx and learn in that so u not to scared of smashing ing to kerbs, tyre walls etc etc ... good thing about getting a beaten up RX7 is u will learn the handling characteristics and then when your project car is done it wont be quite so much of a shock |
