so with current hype about drifting i was thinking that i should try a different chassis so i started researching for drifting with pickups since i have an 86 toyota pickup and found that in japan its an up coming trend they have ridiculous swaps like rb26's and sr20's in nissan hardbodies in and datsun trucks and here in america many are swaping 1 and 2jz's into toyotas now i know weight distribution, aftermarket support, fabication and lots of thinking might scare some into not doing it but after all the blood and sweet do u guyz think it would be worth it ??? i got my truck for 700 bucks its light runs strong and gets loose realy easily so what do you guys think about it ???

if you guys are interested look up on youtubea video its called miniz drift pickups RB26 its a great example of what it could be like- thanks for reading

 

Dont talk about it do it. I drifted the shit out of one with a 4ac open diff and a slush box of a 5spd. Its possible.

 

HAHA dats kool man everyone i talk to says just get a 240 or ae86 but damn their expensive!!!!!!!!! the main problem is suspension work!!!

 

a 240 is expensive? Perhaps your in the wrong line of hobbies.

 

im a student in college with a budget so i have other priorities at the moment but i do have spare money to spend in tires, clutches, fenders, enginere build kits, and other things to get my car in good runnning conditions and if i have an aftermarket part that i want i can save up and get it but i cant spend 3 grand on a beat up car that needs lots of work so no im not in the wrong line of hobby im just in a budget at the moment but thanks for the comment

 

Well all I can respond to that with is unless you have a 4.0 then your priorities are a little off.

 

shit adds up VERY fast when you try to swap a motor.

 

Do yourself a favor Graduate from collage 1st then get a great job that "pays" very well then you can pick up any car that you want or stick with the toyota.

 

Rather than try to give you a life lesson, I will say do it! Dont be afraid to do something original. Just because everyone has an 86 or a 240 doesnt mean thats the best or only route to go. I think it would be badass to see a little 240 swapped hardbody gettin sideways.

Ive actually always wanted a Mighty Max with a 4g in it!

 

also, side note, whatever you do... dont spend your college loan money on a car. I had friends do this and they all regret it now.
