Slap down $1000 down on a manual VC or VH Commodore with a rebuilt engine that's 99% roadworthy. The ole' 202 won't wind out much past 170km/h, but we don't need horsepower here - it's torque that we're shopping for, and Holden's ancient Iron-6 has that in bucketloads. Ignore the springs: get a cheap(ish) pair of H.A.R.D. rear gas-Shox, and maybe a stiffer rear sway-bar if you need more oversteer. Install a mini-spool diff centre, or get welding if you never plan on road-driving much.
That's it - ready to drift and road-legal for around $1300. The old commodes are only 1250kg dripping wet, and most of 'em aren't hampered by poofy power steering, so you can twirl the wheel as quick as you need!! (get a little-diameter steering wheel b.t.w. - V.Handy)
Oh yeah - there's some hard-hard-hard recapped tyres around - MINT for drift (on the rears of course). Don't confuse them for reMOULDS - they're renowned for the tread melting-off quick-smart!! The Recaps are super-cheap, and I can recommend narrow tyres on wide rims, coz they break away really gently and early, with HEAPS of warning. My old commode had 195x60/R17 recaps on the rear, on a 7" wide rim. most ppl run 215 or 225's on that rim width, and they're alot less progressive.
Happy drifting, no-matter what you end up with
