Just got a 2005 RX8 and loving every moment I got in it before it blows. Definitely my first practice car

[klkp]

I went through most of those cars from is200, RX8 to E46 2.8 and now I'm at 350Z and that's one of a best handling car I've ever experienced, amount of grip and its reliability it's amazing highly recommend this car for any one with basics

[erikhernandez]

Rx8 gang 😎 first car, two year as daily, 2 drift events, 3 tracks days drove all the way there and back no issues. It’s only as reliable as the owner keeps up with maintenance

[ryanjones]

Maybe an episode discussing the welded diff v 2 way diff and the pros/cons of both?

[mwmmatt]

If you’re looking for a MK1 MX5 you might want to pick it up soon, the prices have been getting a tad crazy for clean ones, most seem to be around 3-5k, and I’ve seen some go for up to 15k, it’s mad

[mickehoe]

Well that’s the price of 350Z’s doubled 😛

[EverettdaBear]

2nd the Miata pick. I may be biased but I've never had any issues other than being slow. Never a mechanical failure over 10 events alone this year, and that's driving it to the track an hour and a half each way included. I fuckin' love my car, shame prices are starting to go up in the US.

[tysonbus]

Yes someone who does a list in ireland

[maxuscalus]

My dad owns a MX-5 from 1990. One day I will get this car. But I'll don't change anything on this car. I mean it's an Oldtimer.. and this car is very nostalgic.

[AviatorDashie]

E46 has 50/50 weight distribution too and in fact a lot of bmw:s have and are known for it

[Cameramanrob_]

Definitely agree with this list, in terms of the E36s, the compacts are still chips and good for skids, picked mine up with a 2.8 in it for only a grand. Might not have the prettiest rear end but a bit of work and you good

[stephendyer]

Love my e46 2.8, very good for learning and even just changing the diff they dont be stuck in 2nd so stops them overheating

[OctavChelaru]

Great list guys! I'd say a 330d e46/90 would be a worth considering, they are inexpensive, tougher drivetrain, relatively cheap 280-320 hp, silly torque and agricultural reliability. E90 would also fit the budget and still cheap parts. Would consider a touring, even, because of versatility, tyre/spares capacity. What do you guys think? Safe bet would be the 330i if you're not torque greedy.

[isaiahharris]

my first drift car is a 2011 mustang. which i'm still making payments on LOL. ( I bought the car in 2015) but i dint start drifting it till i did some mustang stuff. Cause you're never gonna worry about scratching your dents. But now that I'm stationed in Italy, I'm looking into a E36 or E46 for cheap fun and practice.

[BubbaGTi]

It's like a list of cars I want haha

I've been looking at e92s lately, seem to be the new cheap 3 Series. Might be troublesome though.

[riko_shoots]

Yes lads, nice to see the mx5's in there, i daily drive an mk2.5, does roundabouts with an open diff, there lethal

[ronniegibbard]

In the UK will welded diff and hydro pass a m.o.t

[marcino]

FAT garage from Poland have nice steering kit (like wisefab or better) for 350z. RAK Garage as well

[rudo]

New subscriber here, dig your videos, I built an 89 Starion years ago do you have any videos of them .Starion is a pretty awesome starter car IMO . All the best guys !!!

[altoncaldwell]

So glad i just bought an e46 although it is a 323ci
