Yh but I keep getting to islands and thinking ill try and drift this but being auto it's harder and I wanted to get an s14 before the lex and ill be able to start going to drift days but at the same time the lex is just so nice to drive and the heated seats are awesome

buy a cheap MX5 and learn to drift in that. Don't drift anything you don't want to crash, definitely don't do it on the street.

Mate I speak from experience when I tell you Drifting and Drift days cost money, big money.
You think it’s costing you with fuel in the Lexus start drifting especially in your day car and with your bank balance go to near nonexistence.
I watch all the guys on drift works, one kiddy just spent a fortune making his car look mint then stacked it on a drift day and is now ******.
You see it all the time where people wish they never drifted a plus 3 grand motor.
If you want to get into drifting buy a cheap rear wheel drive car and weld the diff.
That’s all you need, people who tell you need you need 350 plus horsepower to drift are talking rubbish. Some of the bet slides I have ever done/been in have been done in cars that cost less than grand.
I know I will probably get shot for saying this but old bmw are good drift cars, parts are cheap, engines can be remapped and you can get a useable car for less than grand. Give this some serious thought.

Plus its all about the Grip not the Drift. Touge wins ever time.

You make a good point mate think ill carry on with the lex for a bit then and try and just get an s14 as a project car or Something

Trust mate its all about the Old BWM's friend of mine tom pciked up an old 535 on an E Reg came standard with LSD in the back. We drifted that round galstonbury roundabouts until we just ran out of tread. We can full 45 degrees up cheddar gorge. All to the tune of 600 quid. put 14 inch wheels on it as well to spin the back end up faster and tyres costs peanuts at that size. Sorted.
