IF you really have 8k, just buy anything with rwd that u can insure with reasonably and learn from it like e36, mx5 or maybe s14. Get the spare cash to buy second daily car or just use it to repair the skid car, or even save it to do other things at your age. I have seen a lot of people with fancy cars/ builds but have little driving/ drifting skills, relying the power and barely control the car. Start low and improve the skill before improving the car. Thats my advice, you got loads of year and time to improve the car and tune the way u want after u got the skill
