For cheap option, its hard to go past a S13 or 180 SX. Drifting a classic machine, is probably going to cost more in the end.

yep fingers crossed, just depends what he is wanting for it lol.
If the price is right ill get it and stick it in storage for a few months.. or start it straight away :P

sounds perfect

240k's are quite common but not so much the coupes.. but your right it would look bloody tough!.. the key to keeping this on budget is the initial purchase price.

I may have gotton onto a 180B sss not far from home. has 4 wheel disks, hydro hand brake and a cams approved cage.. just waiting to hear back from him.

260c aren't IRS unfortunately but 240k's are
Actually a 240k coupe would be an awesome looking drift car. They are a sweet looking car. But I imagine they are pretty rare even over in oz?
a 910 with IRS would be a pretty budget option. Easier to get panels than the older datsuns, would be a little more work fitting the 6 in there, but I dont see that being an issue for someone as handy on a welder as you are.
They still look pretty cool when about 50mm off they ground :D

How about 99 inch kb10 coupe it will fit rb25
and be very different, cheap and irs de dion using
volvo 360 shortened de dion tube and r200 diff and cvs.

might road rego it one day but wont be very legal lol

road registered with cage to events?

ill look into it D.. that car in the pic looks tough.

Remember guys this is a budget build, ill be doing everything! and hoping to get it all done for around the $5k mark

i have access to heaps of S13 stuff.. but i wanna do something different. They will both cost around the same kind of coin to do. But the datto will just take more time.. so yeh, i dont really like following trends too much lol..

Shoota i would love to be in something like that!!.. but i would have to sell my 1200 to fund it, and that is not happening!
