    ideally mate you wanna weld the diff, fit some coilovers and a bucket.. then take it to a drift day, be really shit due to lack of practice; then make a build thread explaining how you need more power, pull the car apart, sell it in bits and buy a boring daily :)


    alternatively providing it has a vslsd or whatever its called, just watch a 'how to drift' youtube clip, go to a drift day and fuck about, come on here, explain your findings and we can all point you in the right direction (ie, chaps it feels a little slow/boaty/hard to get sideways..) One of the worst things for me is that everyone seems to build their drift cars exactly the same, there is no instruction book, once you have the basics the world is your oyster!

    Do the basics. LSD/Welded diff, Bucket seat, coilovers and basic servicing. Ignore what the internet tells you to do, go buy some shiter tyres and go to a drift day. Thats when you should decide on what you need to spend money on but the main thing is always going to be seat time over modifications.
    Learn to skid well in a "basic" car and you'll find it a piece of piss once you get stuck in modifying the car for your drifting style.
