So I've always loved drifting, we have a private road around our industrial estate that I could drift on if I like. But after a while it gets boring and also, it's quite far away from my house. So I've decided to build a drift buggy of sorts, because I live in the countryside, with this I could at least drive it absolutely anywhere. Like most buggies, I want mount the engine in the rear, except it will be a car engine, a 1.4l 4 Cylinder engine from a 1998 Vauxhall Corsa that my brother wrecked about 14 years ago. Obviously,I can buy another engine if I really want to make a drift buggy, but if it's possible to make the engine I already have RWD, then I may as well go for it. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing being done?
 
Surely you'll want the engine in the front if planning to actually drift?
Bike engine would keep it light if rear is a must.
 
Build one with a bike engine so its lighter, easier to wire up too I have build one myself
