$7k for this pile.
Side note: The drift tax has been waning quite significantly lately.

Gotta love the poser bumps. "OMG BRO UR CAR SO LEGIT BRAH YOU GUYZ KNOW SHIT THIS CAR LEGET DRITF MISISILE!!!1!1!" when none of them posting even have a car let alone a drift car . Just some guy's nutsuckers trying to slurp a few last drops before he sells it and they find another dick to suck.

sx? I'm from straya bro
$7k for a non-roadworthy S13 gets you something pretty fucking special down here. a caged Onevia popped up on my FB earlier for $7k with a forged RB30DET conversion, steering rack, knuckles bits and bobs etc and a widebody plus an extra set of tyres.

240SX indeed. So many kids drift them and think they're gold.

Holy shit. This is fantastic. It literally looks like it is worth about the nothing. Serious piece. . .
Granted it does seem to have a lot of parts in it, but I would just throw them out anyway and start all over.

This is what is referred to in the drift community as a "missile." Which is to say, disposable. What a piece of shit.

The seller is well known in the 240 community. The car looks like trash, but it has seen countless track days. If someone wants to get into drifting, this is a turn-key solution. The shell is a crumpled mess, but the chassis is straight and fully prepped for the track.

If someone wants to get into drifting silvias* it's a turn key, trailer-only solution. FOr not much more money, you can buy any number of RWD, street legal vehicles that you can get into drifting with. Simply being at a track day means nothing. ANd in that shape, I don't think it would pass most tech inspctions at a track. It might pass tech for a drift event, but it's not "turn key" for a more organized event. I've seen spec miatas go for under 10 grand that just needed some updated safety equipment like anewer seat and belt to be ready to go. THAT is turn-key. This isn't.

Yes, it is a trailer-only solution. Track cars make crummy daily drivers, and street cars are compromised on the track. Tech inspections at drift events are often less stringent than other motorsports, mostly because amateur drift sessions are done at pretty low speeds. However, a cage is usually required for any tandem drifting, and daily driving a car with a cage is both dangerous (without a helmet) and a major pain in the ass.

But it's only turn key for drifting events. That's why a lot of people are ragging on the price, it's a lot of money for a car that needs a lot of work to be anything besides a drift car that has to be trailered to events. I'm not saying you need to be street legal to daily drive it, but it does make the car easier to get to and from amateur events. I see on ebay an S 14 drift car with a 2JZ that is MUCH cleaner and is a complete car so you could do road race or drift if you adjusted settings that has a BIN of 11k. There is also a RHD AE86 built up decently for 9.5k that is either a street car that can do some solo events or the odd track day or you can strip and cage it for a race car.

I've just come to know the term "missile" as a synonym for "embarrassment to the drift community."

Theyre good drift cars... But there's a lot of choice for less money these days. I was thinking of getting a 180sx daily so i can take my MR2 off the road and keep it's km's low :P $3k can get me an okay one.

I think having something cheap to practice with is pretty much a necessity of drifting.

No thanks, I'd rather have an old beater fox body Mustang for drifting at half the price. Vaughn Gittin says they are great for that and I'll take his word for it.

I sound so old by saying it, but I remember when the difference between practicing and competing was simply taking off our aero so it wouldn't get ruined in practice.

If you practice on a real circuit or a purpose-built drift course (not a parking lot) with other cars (tandem drift, etc) at the speeds high-level guys drift at, it's only matter of time before your car gets body damage.
Also, lots of people come to Ebisu from outside of Japan for Drift Matsuri and buy/drive/dispose of missiles just for that.

This is no longer a car. It's a battered husk with a drivetrain jammed in it.

It's listed for sale on zilvia. By far, the vast majority of potential buyers on zilvia looking for a track car are looking for a drift car. That S14 is nice, but the buy it now price is almost double what is being asked for the S13, and it wouldn't be any better on the track, and frankly many people would be afraid to take such a nice car to the track to learn how to drift and end up smashing it up in the process.

Check the S14 again. 7500 BIN and it was only 11k BIN in the previous auction. That S14 would most definitely be better on the track because it would be allowed on the track. I can't see that S13 passing any sort of a halfway decent tech inspection. And if you're that afraid of smashing up a car to absolutely nothing anyways, why not spend even less on a car than that S13? The beginner drift cars I tend to see are E30s and E36s that were stripped for some spending cash on suspension upgrades and some extra tires and wheels. Most of their cars were about 4-5k all said and done.

I've got this deep, dark desire to buy something like this, straighten it out just a little, make it look scary and aggressive as hell, and then just drive it around. Not for any rational reason other than that it would be insane and crazy.

I got mine (2008) before the Drift Tax got so out of hand.
Had to go to Hoover, AL (I live north of Atlanta) to find one that wasn't beat to shit.
Other than the wheels, it was bone stock. ('96 SE automagic)

Nice. I just saw a white s14 base with the stock 4-lug alloys on my way to lunch. I had to do a double take. I can check out NICO.
