Car Make and Model : TE72
Car Year : 1980
Your Comment of your first drift car : it's a very similar car to AE86, a bit lighter to KE70 (less metal part at the rear. It's a good car (for both ke70 and TE7*) which had a rather big engine bay, you can transplant a 4age-16V, 4age-20V or even a SR20-turbo. which all share the same cross-member. for i say, who had a extra penny to spare, go for a 20v a.k.a. 4-throttler. You surely need the high-rev range to maintain your drift. 16V had a fairly good mid end- torque to get you start a drift. And for those who were PRO, many were running SR20-DET under their hood to do beautiful long drift (which burn off tyre much faster :P).
Your Suggestions to newbie : get a cheap car (KE70 in example) which still had a lot of parts to salvage and make sure you had couple of k of $$$ in hand. for you will find out that you needed it from time to time. (i had spend more than 10K in my TE since i bought it. keep finding faulty parts each time i fix something else. T_T)
