    Right, short and simple, I'm not going to stuff around.

    Planning to rwd convert my GTZ Levin (wether I use it for drifting or not).

    Wondering if anyone has used one for drifting and wether it's a good platform, can be modified to be good, or is a huge waste of time?

    Ok, opinion noted.

    I'm more asking from an engineering and suspension geometry standpoint: is the body going to slide well and be responsive if it were already converted to RWD.

    Not so much "is it going to cost a lot and/or be easier to buy an s-chassis"

    The Levin body is already in dire need of repair before it goes anywhere near the road, hence asking

    Look at wheelbase to track ratio of good RWD cars and see if you can get somewhere close.
    A Mk2 Escort has a very good ratio so maybe start there.
    A 25mm increase of wheelbase over track will completely change the dynamic of the car so aim to get as close to a known quantity as possible.
