2018... back when cars were affordable.
Keeps getting worse and worse 🤣
@@garrettwalden7195 yes it does
Dude.. in 2008 we were paying £5000-7000($7-9000) for pristine Dupra TT6, R32 GTRs and maybe an extra thousand fir a super mint S15 R. The last car I bought before the 08 crash was a grade 4 180SX with 48k KMs. Full history. I paid £1300 ($1600).
Then came the crash but things had settled by 2012.
Then came the Americans. Holy shit did the prices go through the roof.i can't help but chuckle at people paying $25k for a piece if shit GTSt 😂
Cannot deny even the most cheapest 240SX now is expensive af.
no kidding lol he started throwing numbers out and I was like IN WHAT UNIVERSE lol OH its 6 years ago got it
Please stop pushing the e36 chassis! lol we don't need them to get drift taxed like the s-chassis
There ARE SO MANY of them, itll be hard for that to happen lol
Chelsea DeNofa true but the deals are still getting way harder to find since more people are finding out about them haha
E46s will be the way to go soon i reckon, for cheap anyways. E36s are starting to increase in price already in the UK
woods1313 the deals are still out here in NJ. I️ recently bought a 97 328i for 1600 previous owner was 65 and I️t was only his weekend car
Jav Gee where I live there's only like maybe 10 e36s rolling around. So it's kinda hard to find a deal as is without driving 2-3hours away lol
I can’t even find a 240 for sale 😂
This helps me because i am looking for a drift car project thanks denofa!
Very helpful bro. I been looking for a budget starter
Those how to vid's are good man keep it up!
So happy your uploading again.
Thanks for the content my man.
Nice work! Respect from Romania!
Just went to Facebook to price these... then realized the release date of the vid. Anything with a motor is over 5000
Nice video Denofa, looking forward to your FD 2021 season :D
And just a shout out to all of ya considering moving to Denmark (probably not a lot haha):
Prices in DK for the cars you mention, stock condition with a lot of miles puttin in to the cars;
E36 coupe is around 7500 USD
S13 is around 13000 USD
AND to top that, we are not allowed to make engine changes without paying some serious amount of cash and spending some serious time figuring out what is legal and what not (No one really knows for sure)...
I envy you guys...
I gotta move man :D
- $2500 for "suh dude" sticker
Love your videos Chelsea
I just got an e36 because of you. Thanks I love it. Could you make some videos on how to prep it for drifting? Like cheap and easy mods to get started and good enough for a beginner drifter.
Love your videos!
Hey man it's been 5 years could you tell me how it worked out with the e36? Because I was thinking maybe I can get an e36 as my first project car.
@@existanze1637you 100% should, first thing you should do, quick checkup, make sure the brakes are ok, meaning, brake pads, and if the brakes are properly bled. Replace the oil, make sure there are no metal shavings. Check the cooling system, the fans like to break alot. Figure out if the clutch has any life left. The first thing you should do as far as mods go, weld the diff(or buy an lsd). Also the cooling system is prone to fail, so look into upgrading those if you need. And maybe some decent 200$ seats just to make sure youre not falling out of the car. Next steps, prlly a handbrake, a smaller steering wheel, handle kit if u feel like its needed.
Jesus i missed that how to drift song. Time to say howdy get rowdy bois
this series is perfect, im bouncing around getting an e36 or just splurging on a 240, cause theyre expensive where i live
@chelsea denofa Thanks for repping my Team Angle chasers shirt!! 😁 It means a lot!! You're a boss 👊
Yea man!
Great video! You have the best, most informative content on TH-cam! *Question* - Does a M52 w/ M50 manifold swap need the OBD1 DME and harness?
Chris Boger this is my car used in the video. Nope you dont need to do any ecu mods. You lose a bit on the low end but get a bunch up too. A simple tune can get you back the low end and a bit more up top.
I love my E36 sled, it's the best car i've ever owned.
Cost effective s13? WHERE?!?
+860Whips 😂😂 this is True. But people keep building them.
Ain't cheap anymore. I remember when a sr20 swapped full caged with coils going for 3-3500 bucks. Not anymore that price is easy doubled
Zach m lol thats like a 15k car in bc
jack Clark stock ka s14 avg is like 9k in Colorado
David Chernenko LHD?
Thanks for the info. I will be using this video for info as soon as I get this move to VA out of the way. looking forward to seeing you in this years fd season. peace out
We need an update for this video, now that E chassis and S chassis’s cost a fortune
e chassis?
@@christhantos615 e30 e36 e46
Good video I subbed
Thanks for the drift car buying guide! Since I am in Munich, I guess I am at the source for E36s.... :D
Keep up the quality content Chelsea!
That exact e36 is the first car I ever did a ride along in at a drift event.
I went to trade my civic for a 85 4runner an the guy showed up like a hr early an it was kind of cold out an the heater was on i traded cars an come to find out the head gasket was blowing so when I go to look at a car now I make sheer the heater is off no matter how cold it is
Great content Chelsea. Thanks. P. :D
Dope!!!
great video tnx
The most cost effective start-out driftcar is easily an NA or NB (whichever is cheapest/condition) with a bucket seat, 155 14" tires in the back, simple steering angle mod and a hydro. Your biggest cost of drifting is usually fuel and tires (besides breakdowns). A stock engine miata will get you farther on every set of very cheap new tires, and will be dirt cheap on fuel, which gives you more tracktime for your money and prepares you for the next step.
I started on a NA Miata and I still have one. I can say they are great. BUT they do not work on fast tracks, and the drivetrain is not very strong, so you are limited at about 200whp for reliability without spending a ton of money. Great car, cheap fun for sure!
Cool, did you try it on 155s? 200whp goes a long way with 155s or even wider, and thats way more power than the two cars in the video anyway, but yeah it might not be a keeper for going pro, but it might benefit you in the long run instead of starting out with something easier. I think some may think its very hard to drift though because of the short wheelbase, but the miata actually is very easy to handle and light on its driver. In many of them you also have a torsen LSD as standard. And the 6-speed NB is more tough than the 5 speeds.
5:42 “doesn’t smell like gas”, 5:44 *hits blunt...*
reppin spec d again! fuck yeah!
Love the intro music haha
“Doesn’t smell like gas” *proceeds to cough after smelling oil lol
Do as I say, not as i do! Lol
Whats the issue if it does smell lile gas
@@rolly.999 it means that there is a gas leak to the oil pan
watching this 3 years later when finding a schassis for less than 8k is a good deal
I don't think these will go back down for years, so hard to find any.
The S13 is the classic drift car in my mind. Pic of S13 next to "drift car" in the dictionary.
Could you show us a rear subframe that is cracked so we can see an example of that please and thank you for all the info!!
240s here in nz are at least 10k even for a rough one
16:19 Theres no hood prop because you put the hood all the way back on the windshield
I'm getting a 350z for my drift car everything else is either hard to find were I'm at or drift taxed af
Hey Chelsea, Im looking to buy an e46 for drifting, do you think the 330d is a good idea, it is cheap and easy to up the power but the redline is low and is has quite a bit of weight in the front, the 330i is lighter but beeing na it wont be cheap nor easy to upgrade the power significantly. Which one do you think I should buy?
e36's are cheaper in europe i picked up my 323i 4dr for $1200 already had coilovers + welded diff. Then i got a bucket seat, wheels, and a steering wheel that i have yet to install. Gonna buy and s13 when i go back to america this summer. I love them so much.
Nikki Naydenov what part of America are you coming to?
Blanco Escondido nj - gonna be looking there/surrounding states
Yea man, you're in the cheap e36 land!
Chelsea DeNofa with all the rust in the east coast you'll be in rust land lol need to inspect the underside carefully!
lol yeah, cant find many decent ones on craigslist, might take a weekend road trip down to florida/georgia to pick one up
What about something more serious like buying someone's project? Those cars were pretty stock but what about an sr 240 or like something with an ls swap. What should you look for then?
Fuck yeah! I'm about to get an e36 so this is timely.
No mention of the rear shock towers in the e36? Maybe it's more of a northern thing but I've seen a few e36's trashed because the rear upper shock towers rust and blow the shock into the trunk.
Yea I have heard about that, but never have actually seen it
Can anyone tell me where that 'Das Broken' sticker is from? lol love it!
Chelsea which car I wanna choose BMW e46 or Nissan 180sx or 240sx s13.
What is good for a drift car?
Rear wheel drive or front wheel drive?
Which is professionaly Approptiate?
Plz answer
Thanks for the info? I'm actually gonna be looking for my first drift build in the next month or so I'm leaning towards a sn95 mustang tho
Those aren't bad. They just require quite a bit of modification to work really well.
Tell me more! I just bought a 2005 GT with the plan to learn how to drift with it.
But the more I learn about drifting the more I think it might be a lot of work to get the car sorted.
Do you have any advice?
th-cam.com/video/Pzj0neTS0pw/w-d-xo.html
Just something to help ya out.
Get a fox
20sacmac My 01 slides like butter and highly recommend them. But mine's heavily modded and has 529whp so take it at face value...
damn i wish i could go back and get an e36 at these prices😭😭
BMW E36 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
S13 for 2500? Where they do that at
Got one.
All the s13 in canada east coast are 8000 + or you get a rust bucket
2:02 Das broken !! Spoken like a true kang !!
" ANDDDD UHHHHHHH"
Wish I made it to that event. No truck and trailer life
SkidBits you can rent a truck a trailer from u haul and it’s pretty cheap
Isn’t suss or sketchy if you arrive to inspect the car and it is already warm?
Pricing on anything RWD manual is never lower than 4k in WA state and thats not running. For something running it would be $7k, and that would be without door panels and a missing bumper and something broken. You can't frins a running, not broke s13 for under 10k here. Its cheaper to import in my state!
Thanks bro am proud of you is my pleasure to thank you for now is Mustapha bitts (Banjul The Gambia)I appreciate the time to watch this i already wrote my address Incase you visit The Gambia I really love it thanks again trillions times more pleasure to see you soon 🏆🚘🛣drive👑
Can you just take an old 1968 Camaro and modify it to be a drift car?
Aayyee I live in San Antonio Texas 💙🐂🐎
Hey Chelsea, on the e36, what rear diff ratio do you recommend for a stock m50 running at PARC? 3.91?
3.91
I wonder how to find one in the philipines.(is it the same?)
I wish those s13s were cheaper s13 rollers I see for 2500
Could u do a video on g35 sedans. Thats what i have, everything is stock and it drifts pretty well for a stock sedan id say.
I dont have one accessible. If you know anyone up here, Ill do one!
Chelsea DeNofa ahh i wish i did
Where? I've tried to find them for sale on the internet but I'm not finding them. Anyone point me in the right direction?
Ive seen some decent swaps for the rx8s and ik you can drift it also 2 to 4 k in some places .has any beginner drifters used this car .im always attracted to these cars for dome reason
In finland you can get a e36 325i for like 1000€ and the s13 will be like 3000€ minimum
Got it, DEFINITELY GO 325 THEN!
Chelsea DeNofa yea thats why the e36 and the ford sierra the go to cheap drift cars here
Can you still get them for those prices? might take a trip over the border
Point of this video? If it ain't got no Texas flag, don't buy it.
Oddly enough I recently bought a 99 e46 323i from texas bone stock payed $2,100 for it after winter gonna throw in some maxpeedingrod coilovers #shoutoutebay
I’m saving around 3000 dollars for my first car. I know it’s not much but it’s my budget. I understand drifting is expensive but I want to turn whatever car I get into a super clean street and drift car ,it’s probably a project that won’t be condo let’s for several years since I’m going to learn to work on it myself (no one around me are really car people they don’t see the point). I’ve seen a lot of E36 suggestions and personally I don’t like S13’s much. Would going with a e36 be worth it? How much am I looking at spending on it to restore it (my vision is having a clean stock sleeper looking car that’s able to get rowdy). And get drift mods?
Also I’m on the east coast, rust is a real issue out here. Should I be looking for other dry states to buy and how could I prevent rust if I do get it back to the east?
My compact is probably as close as you're going to get to that. Easily a 10k build if you did all the work yourself tho... Downside is that you need flares in the front when you have a lot of steering angle... and thats why I have flares in the rear, to even it out.
id say an e36 is easier to find, you can find decent e36s that are nice and stock for around 2-3k any s13 i find for that price is either destroyed or automatic
Yea, they are out there tho. 2500/3k gets you a good car.
I really wished that in other countries like Brazil you could simply just buy a drift car lol
Damn son! 3 cinematographers...how was this video even made?
Tanner Baer Chelsea and the two owners lol
i think the dual cam is about 155 crank hp and at that age maybe 130ish wheel hp
I think they normally make about 150whp with these mods.
Man just build your own personal drift car 🤜
Iv wanted to weld my diff in my e36 for a while now but have been afraid to because iv heard it will rip the subframe out. Looks like that one does just fine.
Ryan Fullerton my car in the vid. 2 years of drift events and some street driving. No issues. I am super easy on it with parking/tight turns though. Slip the clutch a bit just so it doesnt jerk around and kill my axles.
RandomHero278411 oh nice good to know. I’m going for it then
@@ryfulll did you end up welding your diff? How have you found it?
Lexus SCs are way overlooked for cheap Drift cars
They are OK but VERY heavy and the suspension arms are VERY expensive.
Yeah I'd think It'd be real heavy being a lux GT car and all but bro 2j or 1uz for cheap🤙
theyre all auto, manual is rare... sliding parkinglots and streets is ok but if u buy sc and get good at all your gonna be like ooof i wanna manual swap and spend tons of cash
Chelsea need some of that bmw knowledge you have, lol thoughts on getting the 318, 323, 325, 328 or the 330? I would like to get the 318 or the 325 but have people telling me to get the 328 or the 330, would getting either the 318 or the 325 be fine for learning to drift? since by me I can get the 325 between 650- 1500 bucks
+quinton boffy if you can wait, search and travel to find a beat but running well m3 for 2800-3500.
If not wait and travel for a 1500 328i.
sweet thanks for the reply Chelsea, and I was able to find a beat up 330 for 1500, but was looking for something closer, and doesn't the 325 slide ok for a daily drifter?
That 240 in California would be on Craigslist for 7500
Pardon my ignorance but, did he turned on the S13 without pushing the clutch?
Yea. Clutch bypass.
What can you recommend for drivers taller than 6 foot ? I’m 6’6’’ so I want something I can fit in a helmet with but if not I’m going to chop a top off or get a vert and Cage it with extra room lol
The 36/46 Bmw's with a seat are pretty damn good. If you want to keep stock seat, you can get a NON sunroof car to help. In my e36 I have about 10 inches till I hit my head. Im SHORT at 5'11 but I would think headroom wise, you could easily fit.
Chelsea DeNofa I’ll definitely do some research on them! Thanks & good luck for the oncoming season! Looking forward for Texas motor speedway!
Both of these are about 10k in germany
In this vid, you use a 328i. Does it matter if it's a 323, 325, or 328? Also, what's your opinion on the 318? Hoonigan has kinda shown it to be a decent car with Shitcar. lol Thanks man!
+Danny Buell 328 is the second best only to the m3
How about a 350z? s chassis cars are so overprice because drift tax
I would go Z over s-chassis any day of the week.
323ci e46 or should i sell it and buy more powerfull e36 328 or 325? also should i run inline hydro or should i do dual caliper?(there are no adapter avaible in my country for dual caliper setup i can only buy a set to weld it on)
+patrykkowalski6 in-line handbrakes are fine. Your e46 is good if you want to keep it simple. If you are building it, go e36
trying to be "japanese" minded so as simple as i can drift it stock e brake doesnt do anything its my daily so full interior ac and everything aswell im thinking about 2.8 or 3.0 swap if i cant drift but i think 170hp should be enough for second gear speeds
will i be able to foot brake while using inline hydro?
What do you think of the OM606 engine and the potential they have? Are diesel motors legal in FD?
Too small of a powerband. Hard to get diffs that will be a good ratio.
Chelsea DeNofa are you speaking from experience? What do you mean small powerband? The videos I've seen on TH-cam with the OM606 have 600+ horsepower and differentials are plenty to come by that hold up.pretty well from that mercedes generation
What do i need to make my hyundai accent 2014 a drift ready car ? What parts needed to change ? Thank you
suspension kit and maybe an anti roll bar. dual rear calipers/ebrake if you want to. you can use stock clutch but it might brake and a rear dif or just weld it if you dont need it as a street car
A fuck ton of fabrication and deep pockets. Those cars are front wheel drive lol.
Is that E36 harness a concern to anyone else? spinal compression concerning with how it's installed? should a harness bar be installed to fix it or is it ok?
Yea, I hear you. Better than the stock belt tho for driving. Not for safety.
Ebitsu belt safety standard... hahaha
I thought this video was new lmfao s13 even higher now
Buy it and hook it up bro
skateboard hood prop mod, bro.
WTFunktion what I stay doin
S13 looks like a drift missile version of Adam lz' s 240
I can’t find any e36 or s13 I’m Michigan wtf
Im 11 and my dream is to be apart of fd so do you get payed
I think it's worth noting that not every little issue is worth "$100 off." A reasonable seller will adjust their asking price based on the outstanding issues the car is likely to have. Approaching the transaction with this mentality, and having a buyer that's totaling up these imaginary discounts in their head towards the justification for a lowball offer is going to frustrate an informed seller that's already taken it into consideration.
+Bradlee Alderman ANDDDDD save you money. Hustle for the best price. It’s the sellers problem if he lets it go too cheap. Low balls are OK if you are there with cash and pointing out The issue.
Nah bra when these people be like "NO BALLERS I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!!!" to justify thier added "drift tax" you best be giving them crap for everything you can
E36 or E46 for daily driver/drift car?!?! And why?!
E36 all the way.
What about the 350 z you can get those for just a little bit more?
yea they are easy to drive, but not as fun.
@@chelseadenofa what makes them not as fun cuz I'm think about getting a z sense everything else is either expensive af or I cant find near my area
VT Holden Ute?
Or you could get an Fbody :)))
Yeah if you want to drift a tank lol
