a s13 hatch is 99.9% the cheapest budget “drift” car you’d be able to find you can also try a FC like someone posted above. and i wouldnt exactly call skylines + ae86’s cheap… you could also get a cressy lol. but then again, you’d be morally forced to swap a 2j in there so maybe scratch that ---

Fc3s rx7 stupid Cheap now adays comes with 5 lug, 4 piston, Lsd in most cars N/a’s runs just as long as any piston motor and faster than any N/a K24de Chassis parts, brakes are really cheap they tend not to have rot or frame issues A very strong chassis great for any kind of power plant you may want to swap in Swaps are cheap and theres ton of them that have been done Turbo fc’s are pretty awesome too but you need to be prepared to do a rebuild if you up the boost ---

Honestly you DO not need to have an SR To have fun. Buy a good shell, toss some used coilovers or eBay coils, a cheap or Megan multi link, welded diff and maybe a bucket seat. That’s all you need to have fun… Oh and lots, lots and LOTS of rubber. Now if you want, you can toss some bolt on upgrades at the KA. Many people I have talked to feel that they did there motorswaps far too early. And also you should develop your skills on a KA as they can be bought for about $150-300 of you blow it. Along with this, Cal and Martino are the perfect example of learning their car before they swap in a motor as both of them learned on a KA if I’m not mistaken. ---
