okay so im no stranger to drifting. ive been since 99, however ive stopped in 06. anyway ive been looking to get back into it and since the gencoupe release a few years ago ive been dreaming of grabbing one and drifting again. where else in the market is there a rwd turbo car for 22g? anyway this summer im looking to get one, but with the 2011 year releasing a 3.8 rspec, im left with so many choices.
little background on my type of drifting... ive owned 85 gts corolla, 90 240sx, 89 240sx. 2 were beater drifters, and my latest one was a nice clean old school drifter. anyway what im saying is im not all about buying the most expensive **** on my car, neither am i too concerned with following the latest trend. i love the drift, and i love the tribute to the old school scene, so dont get me wrong, i do enjoy drifting in a nice looking car. as far as power, all i ever had was stock motor with intake headers exhaust, with a nice suspension setup. and im good for the drift
anyway with the different trims out there, idealy i would want the base 2.0t. i find it hard to decide on the rspec because the only thing i would want in it would be the torsen diff. coilovers will be swapped in immediately, and the 19inch rims are too much for my drifting needs.
now i realize the gencoupe is a heavy car for the little 4banger turbo. i dont plan to really spend $ on engine parts besides the basic bolt-ons IHE. will the 2.0t be strong enough for drifting with a really good suspension setup? or shoulld i just fork out the money for the 3.8 rspec?(since thats the new base 3.8 for 2011).
