after more reading, id probably go with a sr20 and prefer registered. but i was reading the engine conversions sections. and someone said you can't register a rolla with a sr20 in it. so then dedicated track. i only plan to use to as a track car so it doesnt matter either way. i already have a house red dwarf. so enough about where to blow my money, what are some preferred set ups for drifting an ae86 with a sr20?

I'm into 4wd's and i know nothing about drifting so this is easily the best way to find out other set ups, what has worked for others, what hasnt, what people would do if they started from scratch after all they've learnt, rather than just jump into the deep end with no research and start wacking parts together on a car. then i could come on here and be like guys, i did this and it doesnt work, what do you think i should do to change that. and then others impart their knowledge and say - yeah that was pretty stupid... you could have done this right from the start and had no worries.

which shocks do you think are better? i really have no idea about these things and am just looking for the best set up possible for that amount. ultimately my plan was to hunt down a rolling chassis and build it up from scratch. ive been doing some primary investigation into the s15 half cut and its around 7k. is that the price i should expect to pay? or i should be able to get it for a lot cheaper? only leaves 18 for all the rest. i'll be able to do most work myself. but what is a cost breakdown for the other major components?

cheers for the info I'm 24. why's that?

hey guys ive searched the forum and i havent stumbled onto anything like this so i want to get everyones thoughts on building a drift rolla. i've got a 25k budget and a blank canvas. so what would peoples advice be on which year corolla (i like the ones around 83-86), what engine (anything, v8, sr, ca, what ever will get me sliding), suspension, gear box. everything id need really from start to finish for a sweet drifting set up. or ultimately would a different car all together be better? I'm hoping not cause i love the corolla! i just hope 25 is enough. thanks for any help
