noob questions

im picking up a 90 hatch today. i was wondering where should i start if i got 500 bills to work with after buying the car. springs,etc to start a basic drift set up. is it possible to drift well without lsd? thanks

[eddiec]

bill = $100, right ?500 bills =500 x $100=$50000

thats quite a budget. i think you should just gut the car to a shell and buy all new parts.

or if you meant $500, then since you just got the car i would go with brakes, fluids, all wear items (air filter, plugs, wires, etc).the car is 15 years old so stuff is worn out. unless you got lucky and found a car that was well maintained.

to be honest and everyone may say the same, use the search button in the top right. all your anwsers are a few clicks away. maybe save the money and wait til something brakes, and it will, then start replacing. any car will drift if the driver knows how. so you dont need anything right now to go slidewayzin

cool. i figured i hear someone tell me to search. the car was well maintained. ill just save up in case something breaks like you said. thanks

what i would suggest.(and my suggestion is correct)

1.replace anything that is broken.2.save up some more and get a 2 way LSD.

definatly fix anything that is old, broken or about to brake. If you intend to drift, i'd check some of the old rubber bushings. If everything is in perfect condition, I'd keep the $500 and save up for and LSD, coilovers (and all the parts your going to need for that $$$) and some tires. Remember as you start to drift, your going to find more things that need to be replaced so don't waste your money on a "drift spec" shift knob or a 1700mm Carbon fiber wing when your clutch is about crack or your brakes start grinding. Best of luck to you.

Man you are really all about those 2 way lsds Makes me look forward to getting mine, though I wish the 5400+ rpm range was more satisfying on a car that goes to 7...o well.

If your car is in good condition i think that a nice steering wheel would be a good buy.

save the cash and raplace stuff as it wears out. don't go buying stuff that you don't absolutely need until you have more saved up
