Family 4door drifter
Long story short, I have been drifting on track for about 4 years now using a mix of (all manual) soarers, altezza’s, skylines and s14’s.
Recently I sold up everything and decided to sort a track only car so I can get a bit more serious. It’s a 1.8 mx5 with a factory LSD.
The plan was – run it for the rest of the year in standard form (plus a ½ cage and coilovers), get used to the car and then run it next year with a turbo in an amateur series.
I havn’t had the car on track yet – but I can tell it’s a lot more snappier, grippy and less forgiving to what I’m used to. I get the impression that linking and transitioning wont be overly easy (well, certainly in comparison to an S14 anyways).
I want to get some opinions from people who currently drift mx5’s….
Should I stick with it, benefit from the low budget approach and high reliability and simplicity from a mechanical point of view…
Or
Should I cut my losses and upgrade to something like a 325 bmw?
