Budget Drift Cars

[SuperShouden]

This is for people who are looking for a good drift car but don't have a lot of money to spend.

The rules:
- Must be able to get a 5000 point drift score with it on a five sector course.
- Must not spend over 50,000cr for the car and the parts used to get it drifting.
- You must state the price of the vehicle, modifications done to it, and your best drift score with it.

I'll start this out with a good example:

Toyota Tacoma X-Runner: Cost 24,000cr for the car.
Modifications done: Purchased street hard and street soft tires for it. Cost: less than 4,000 credits
Best Score: 10,062points at Tsukuba.

If I had the game, I would of bough the S13, a 2-way LSD, sport suspension and have fun with that(I will possibly have certain power mods like Sports exhuast).

Mazda RX-7, Spirit-R. 40,000 Cr. for the car, throw in 16,200 for fully customizable suspension, and comfort Hard tyres. (any spare money can be put on aero parts, wheels, weight reduction and exhausts). Tune toe angle to F:-10 R:10 and your set to go with one of the best drift cars in the game!

Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX, car itself was 50,000cr but I didn't buy any mods (except for comfort hard tires for 1000 something cr.) or tune any of the suspension. scored 14,000 something on the section mode for Tsukuba.

I like that car but at stock power levels it's just too slow for tandem drifting. Great by itself but good luck keeping sideways around more than one turn!

My vote would be the sileighty. you win the car and spend you moneys in parts

The op listed a car thats 50,000cr (trueno is mid 50k) and can score more than 4000 pts at a 5 section course (which I scored 14800 at tsukuba with the stock trueno) so the car fits the bill. Tandem wasnt mentioned in the criteria
If going a tad over 50k cr. Disqualifies it as over budget I take it back

Heres my video if youre curious. Didnt even bother to change oil or overhaul yet

It's only too slow if you're drifting slow circuits with high powered cars I also find it so much more fun linking corners in underpowered cars than I do relying on big power to get me round!

This video is all you really need to watch to back this up!

A dead stock Alfa 8C is a great drift car. With Traction Control on I got 10k at Eiger with it.

Mk3 Toyota Supra is amazing

 

[RX7Tuner]

98` Nissan Sileighty. You get this car from one of the beginner series races then just spend the 50k on mods. First start with the race suspension and either comfort hards or sports hards. The rest is personal preference from there. I usually run mine with the ride height at -5 front and back and the camber 2.5 in the front and 1.0 in the rear. I am new to drifting and have found this car to be one of my favorite setups.

The RX-8 and Jaguar XFR are pretty good drift cars, as well. The XFR needs a little bit of tuning. I'm afraid to give it a spoiler, but it maybe Sport Medium tires would help, as it's a little too slippery.
