Not to be an ***, but have you read all the stickies at the top of this sub-category? You should find any information you want in there. Nobody is going to type up an article for you that has been written over and over already.

[sarcasm] noticed your name was drift kid. if you plan to drift the ca you will fail. people that drift ca's end up blowing them at their first event because their rocker arms pop off. your best bet is the sr20det. its bigger meaner, bigger turbo, and has built in rocker arm stoppers. the ca is good for somethings not others drifting being the only one. [sarcasm/]

read everything before you buy anything. drive your stock ka for while before you buy anything. buy the tools for you buy anything else. dont take out a loan to buy a motor. buy everything you need, dont half *** anything. they will not forgive you. now go read driftkid. oh i have to ask, why the ca, mate?
