Hey all, well I drive a turbo civic every day... but I have decided to stop putting all my money into it, and start with a better platform.. so I want to buy a project car. After looking through all of my possibilities, I have decided to go with a 2nd gen rx7.

My goal is to have a road racing car basically. Part of getting this RX7 was the intention of learning how to drift. I've never done it before and have been told by local drifters that these are good cars for it. Either way, if it cant be drifted, I'd like something to take the turns faster in, with some oversteer instead of this understeer **** I get from my FWD car. I feel like I need something RWD. My question is though.. what trim RX7 would I need to make it a competitive stock car platform? I've been looking for T-II's... but will the N/A ones have enough power and the handling capabilities to do what I want?

Thanks ahead of time.

 

If anything n/a rx-7s would be better suited for drifting. They weigh less and have a more "even" power band. But from what i read around here 240's are better drifting cars. So you may wanna look into those.

BTW, is that your car in your sig. Did you drop an LS engine into there and turbo it up? Or are you using the stock d-series with a turbo? Im asking cuz civics aren't normally turbo'd and i find it kinda interesting
