Building $350 SC300 into a drift car in 10 minutes 

Bit of a shitbox mate

Thanks! I appreciate it. Sorry I was meaning to get back to you about that in the other video. That black insert on the fender is something I was trying to make but never finished it. Its been a while but it’s still in the works

@@ckeala89 It actually looks super sick and useful. Do you have any tips when making that? It will for sure be something I add to my car!

It wasn’t too bad. If it’s all you got, it can be pretty fun. But I wouldn’t settle for it though. Depends on what your budget is. If you can, manual soarer would be the move. To source manual pedals and such for a rhd can be a challenge. But also, the stock manual transmission(w58) for the sc300 isn’t the greatest. R154 trans would be a solid replacement but are getting expensive(It’s what the manual soarer comes with, turbo mk3 Supra does as well)When I did my manual swap on my first SC, I ended up going with a 06+ 350z transmission(CD009), which is the same setup I went on this SC. It’ll cost a little more than going R154 but to replace the transmission is much cheaper if something were to go wrong. CD009 are also known to withstand high HP. Non VVT-i 2jz-GE engines are good and can push decent HP numbers with a turbo setup. The newer VVT-i 2jz-GE has weaker rods and can’t hold as much power. I’ve had SCs with over 200k miles and still ran very good. I’ve seen someone with a sc300 with over 300k miles, slapped a turbo on it and made over 400whp that lasted for several years. If you want something you can buy and drive right away, soarer would be a good choice. If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, I would go with a auto SC300 and piece together a manual swap using a CD009 transmission. Stock engine is good enough for drifting. For drifting, you will need a few things to make it a good time. -welded diff or LSD -coil overs -modified knuckles *increases steering angle* -adjustable suspension arms *alignment* -bucket seat/harness *really sucks sliding around in your seat when trying to drift* You could go with a stock manual(w58) SC300 but my guess would be that the trans would go before the engine. I guess it comes down to how much you are willing to spend and how much work you are willing to do. A stock auto soarer wouldn’t be bad for drifting but keep in mind that you’ll need what I listed to make it a good time.

Drift car so you want it light Weight reduction

My 1st car it’s cool

No just transmission swap
