Well, considering how drifting is about style and well ridiculousness, i think this would fit right in. Just gotta get some good power out of the engine, better turning ratio, upgrade suspension, some camber and you're good to go. Oh and a roll cage. Well thats most of what you'll need.

Would be totally cool as a track car if brought down about 6", running on 13x9+" wheels with 255/40-13 Hoosier A6s

As a street car, at that ride height, no way!

OP, it's not hard to link in a pic!

huh? I was just being sarcastic. "Just gotta get some good power out of the engine, better turning ratio, upgrade suspension, some camber and you're good to go. Oh and a roll cage. Well thats most of what you'll need." You're basically rebuilding the car. Not to mention the pains of getting good power out of a rotary.

Anyway man, no disrespect intended. I was just having fun.
