Very costly to make one driftworthy I would feel. Just doesnt have the low down grunt for it without forced induction.

Wait til you get one

To hold a tailslide takes some extreme skill, madness, and very high speed. You also cant get much angle, before it bites you. Unlike a turbo I find you have to be realy going some to get it to move, as its very grippy. Dont even bother in the wet or you will be on the thread for scrappers! It really is totally unforgiving so best advice is dont think you can better it in the wet!

Hi and welcome,i know a couple lads from driftworks!!fancy some myself,but the S2000,is not the car to use!as said above!unless you fancy very narrow rear wheels!That would help,i spent just over an hour a few weeks back in France on a very nice roundabout!!got it sideways a lot but just can not keep it going as it bogs down when the grip catches up!Good fun and very costly as a new clutch is needed now
