check the footwork parts like bushings, suspension, and alignment. look at what parts they used. drivetrain is prolly pretty beat up. check the diff and tranny. it'll be a hit or miss with the engine since drifting has alot of high revving and low airflow. good luck with your purchase tho

it should still be ok even if the chassis is warped or its been totalled. you'll get used to the geometry of the car after a few events. work on the reliability mods. cooling is more important than wanting to make more hp. alum. rad, oil cooler, vented hood. reverse vent works better than the TII hood.
