Ok now your scareing me NeZZA!! VL commodore??? Hardly a good drift car man!! I am going to give you some advice ok.... please do not be offended and I hope you can walk away from reading this and be able to make clear decisions. I am doing this so as to save you TIME, HEADACHES, and most importantly... MONEY!! Forget about 4WD cars!! Evil evil things!! Only skirts drive 4WD cars, they never want to race on a rolling start!! Decide what you want from a car... Do you want to have a relatively easy car to drive close to the limit and that is SOMEWHAT forgiving for little mistakes?? Go the FF route! Throw that BEAMS engine in.. hope you got money... and have PHUN!! Get some good rubber, brakes go nuts on the suspension etc. to make the car handle and be able to make the most of the upped power with a BEAMS engine. I think that if you want to keep the celica.. than this would be the best thing to do! Don't beleive what people say when they go on about FF cars being crap to drive.. sure you can't hang the tail out, except if you pull the handbrake up , but don't think for 1 second that a well setup FF car is not REWARDING to drive, because they ARE!! My emphasis on the SOMEWHAT forgiving nature of an FF is that you haven't even got your P's yet so experience is not there ok!? I'm not being a prick dude just tring to keep you out of trouble!! I'm not sure if you will be a maniac P plater but I think for the inexperienced its easier to correct understeer than it is oversteer with a FR car. So yeah if you want to keep the celica go for the BEAMS, work out your suspension and have fun! If you want a FR car don't go a VL commonwhore! Yeah yeah nissan engine and shit but comeon..... its still no nimble lil Jap coupe! Not too sure what to recommend in the FR department because most of the cars that come to mind are TURBO, and their atmo siblings are not worth buying... eg. Why get charged huge amounts of money for insurance on a non-turbo S13 just because it is an import.... if you go import you go the whole way!! Ya dig!! But turbo for you is out of the question due to insurance... which man really isn't a bad thing... I know I will get flamed for this but I think P platers should not be allowed turbo cars! Forget about NOS too cause you will regret it!! Man get used to driving in traffic, driving at night, driving in the wet, driving on differing textures of bitumen, gravel etc! Once you get good at driving in these areas or at least some confidence and insight into your own ability then go ahead with modifications! The last thing you want to do is to be like all those other young dickheads out there who think they can drive just cause they got a fast car... BULLFUCKINGSHIT!! Fast car does not = GOOD DRIVER!! I bet you man that if you for the next 18-24 months concentrate on being a safe driver, pay attention to everything happening on the road.... PAYING ATTENTION.. NOT SEEKING ATTENTION and progressively honing you skills, not just pushing your car to the limit straight off the bat, but progressively extend your boundaries that you will be a better driver than those other dicks around, and trust me on this one,... be able to leave people for dead when the REAL DRIVING BEGINS!! You know what I mean too! Anyone can drive fast in a straight line! But can they keep up with you in the twisty stuff?? [Report message to a moderator]
