[ReptaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

nice. how much did yu spend,

bcoz im planning to drift and i wanna

know how much i have to spend for it

@ReptaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR It can get expensive really fast, but there's ways to keep it cheap!

Lower powered cars can run on 15" rims, and if you scour your local non-chain tire places you might find some really cheap used tires. I used to do that for my corolla.. and I'd come up on 4 185-60-15s for 30 to 40 bucks.

The biggest thing when getting started is keeping your car healthy.. so make sure you have everything to keep it running cool and reliable before you hit the track.

I will apply these techniques to my seating position in nanakar.

Sucks that douche made a cameo.

@350drifting exactly. daily driver/weekend drift car you dont need the absolute best, midrange stuff is good. if its a track car and only a track car then i would say get the best stuff out there. and you are so right about ebay parts, they are garbage, the only thing i would even consider using is their intercooler piping other than that i wouldnt touch that stuff.

Well when i say cheap i don't mean Megans and sportmax, i meant the no-name ebay stuff :P

I actually have Megans and sportmax's on my s13 as well. They do the job and keep my wallet with enough money for scraps of food :)

A quality roll cage, some megan coilovers, sportmax wheels, welded diff, and recaro seats will go a long way.

Btw, eff the song you guys have on your videos. It gets stuck in my head and makes me think of the game Portal. I like it :3

@350drifting Cheap parts, Cheap ass, sounds like my car!

You don't need name brand stuff to have a good time/compete.win.

Just don't skimp on the roll cage and you'll be fine :)

My s13 is on the cheapy parts (megan coilovers, sportmax wheels, etc) and it never stopped me from entering in 4th gear at buttonwillow, winning multiple competitions, or most importantly.... having a good time.

I'd say worrying about injuring or killing yourself is a bit of an overstatement, but that's just me :P

[PART 3]

Looking around and finding cheaper alternatives that still have a good rep through the community.

Or finally, you can be a cheap ass, with a cheap ass car where parts are breaking left and right and you have a great chance of injuring or killing yourself every time you lay foot in the car...

End of Ramble.

[PART 2]

Then the next step down would be heading into the shitty ebay stuff that will break and cause even more headache for you. And not even perform halfway as how the part should...

Basically:

If you've got the money, you can go ahead and get the very reputable but very expensive high end name brand stuff and not have a single worry in your little dandy life.

Or you can be the average person and get the next step down on 90% of the parts on your car.

[PART 1]

Alright that makes more sense. From your comment it just sounds as if you're saying everything is the same so it doesn't matter at all what brand it is.

Good example would be with coilovers. You can spend around $1,200 to $1,800 on some nice, reputable coilovers. Or about $800 for some Megan's which is the next step down. They have a lot of positive rep and they get you bang for your buck if it's not a high end track car that doesn't need the $1,500 coilovers.

@350drifting im saying dont buy the cheapest shit out there, but dont overpay when you dont have to, if that makes sense.

[350drifting]

@goatman5

Wow...you're saying that all seats are the same so it doesn't matter if you get name-brand or off-brand? That sentence can get you killed. Don't cheap out on a seat, as many untrusted "off-brand" seats will break upon impact, and breaking you in the process.

Seats are not something to cheap out on.

@gwenii Run dude, she might be jailbait.
