To be fair I'm mostly kidding about because part of me wants something different but then another part makes me think I'll regret it badly. Maybe see how I feel about it in a year haha.

Maybe this is coming from a uk perspective but that car would be worth like a grand over here or less, it looks clean on the underside but there are so many little things that make it not worth it. lovely ebay seats, the front lip is from an earlier version car, horrible wrapped interior, crap wheels, missing factory spoiler, NLA rear lights replaced with lovely ebay ones, drift? handbrake lever, stupid rear end dual shock lookin steering wheel etc. Also I like how they talk up the 'Toyota Super Red II' as a special colour when most people nickname it Super Pink.

The 3SGE is fun to rev out but compared to anything turbo or modern it's slow, the runout verisons with the VVT GE's are better but still not massively quick.

I can't believe some of the prices on that site though $16,000 for an R33 GTS-T?

pass on that, if you want a sw20 just get a turbo. if that price is usd it’s more than I paid for my jdm turbo here in aus a few years back when they were doing the auto salon rounds/somewhat desirable

Drift masters tends to release a bunch of drone footage, isn’t as nice as this one though (side note: I want to drive witch kettle)

i've actually been looking for a clean cressida

in about a year or two my ecobox will be paid off and i will have a $10-20k budget for a new fun low hp rwd car. having been through the whole s13->rb25 thing i am gonna be leaning more towards reliability than anything else unless an exceptionally clean Nissan Laurel or SR20 180sx comes around to the east coast, usa - which is surprisingly likely since we have a very well established JDM importer 1 state away from me

what i've specifically been searching for:
  • 240sx coupe - onevia preferred (Ka24 is still cheap here ftw and i want flip-up lights but not another hatch)
  • Toyota Cressida
  • Toyota MR-2 (2nd gen)
  • Fiero/Firebird/Foxbody comedy option

otherwise i can always just find an S2k because they are much easier to get a clean used one OR alternatively just buy a brand new BRZ or Miata after dropping a 50% downpayment like an adult

if anyone has experience with any of these cars feel free to try and talk me out of :homebrew:ing it

What about a 350z?

I caught up with a few of the guys I went to Japan with yesterday, and ended up at VR Motorsports trying out their drift sims (we know one of the owners who was fine with us being drunken idiots)

Sim drifting is hard, no handbrake forces you to just go hard, and 900hp JZX 90’s on Meihan drunk is a recipe for disaster. Would recommend if you are ever in Brisbane.

Spare time is good. New suspension and arms in my drift pig silvia, still waiting on a space with the fab dude so he fix the exhaust and inter cooler piping.

Also for tracks to be open again but whatever.
