Questions on Drift setups
Basically I want to know what the best setup for a 90 model would be for the least amount of money.. I am looking to spend at the most 7 grand and this is at the most. I am looking to create a ride that could be competitive in competitions. Please any feedback would be great.

Just find a local drift event/practice, go there and enter with your car stock, talk to people, see if they will let you ride with them. There is no l33t drift set-up, it will mostly be personal preference.

Get familiar with HPDE before you start drifintg. Somebody told me that you will learn so much about car control and how your particular car drives. Most drifters have a huge background in HPDE.... With that being said, invest in some good coilovers.

Thanks for your posts guys, only thing is I dont know if we have any drift events where I live (Knox, Tennessee). And Im the one that mentioned drag racing dude, I didnt mean it to offend anyone directly.

first off, fix what is broken/worn out on your car, a few good ideas may be: subframe spacers, coilovers, sway bars, wheels and tires. just watch drifting on your computer, read on it, go out and practice.

like spencer said autox is a great way to not only learn how to drift, but also to learn how to drive your car PERIOD...i tell everyone the same thing that tells me they know how to drive...the first time you go compete at an autox event your abilities are going to almost double in the one day from what they have been since you have been driving..you cant drift if you cant grip, thats all there is to it, when you grip drive you learn how to make your car intitiate a slide as well as retain it and bring it back into control...once you have learned the feeling of your car then it is time to work on more upgrades...im not saying dont do nething to your car though, i am completely for modifying your suspension and other components before you COMPLETELY learn how to drive because they are going to play a big role in how you drive your car, just make sure you invest in a good set of coilovers that have dampening control as well as height adjustment..
Like yuta said fix the things that are wrong with your car first, then i would concentrate on suspension, drivetrain, and cooling because those are going to be your bigest issues while tracking the car.
