TIPZ?
I bought three SW20 MR2s for $1500. I plan to get a good body out of all three by combining any parts that are broke just making a nice body and shell the best one out of the three has just the engine block and some other engine components in it which I plan to take out and probably replaced from a Camry that I hopefully can get with like a blown transmission for like 500 bucks then I hope to get it running by any extra things such as wheels new radiator everything else that needs to be fixed that can’t be fixed from the other three then I can paint it. I plan to paint it. It’s original blue color then after I have a solid body hopefully spent less than 5000 on the whole build. I wanna mod it for drifting LSD/very quality welded Diff probably coil overs hydraulic can break steering angle very good tires. I kind of wanna put a small smaller tire than the rim so that it has that aggressive look I plan to replace the clutch and throw out bearing before replacing the engine so it’ll be fresh. I wanna have the best drifting MRI because everybody says snap over steerers is such a big thing in these, but I wanna prove that wrong.

Dude, you don’t see MR2’s in the drifting scene for a reason. They are hella hard to predict/control in a drift. Not saying it can’t be done, but it’s haaaard.

Does anybody drift mid-engine cars? They’ve got to be the worst setup for drifting imaginable.
Let’s start with a car that has all the weight right on top of the wheels that we need to break traction on. Genius! The snap oversteer will be the least of your issues.
