DWYB, some pics and a Vid, You have to try it
I went to a drift day at santa pod to have a go at drifting, Here is a little Vid from a car mounted camera.

Its certainly not the easiest thing to drift with no power steering, a quick rack and very little self centreing but still great fun.
I think i will adjust my wishbones to give a bit more castor, IIRC i have about 3.5, any suggestions? i was thinking about trying 5. Also, will
i have to re do the camber and toe afterwards?
The best bit is that the day costs £60, you get loads of seat time and as the kit car is so light, i used the same back tyres all day and they are
still road legal. (they were almost new when i started) I was the first car out at 10 am and the last car of at 4.30 and only stopping for 15 minutes
or so in between each run. 
And one of my pimped up tow wagon which matches the stylus :mrgreen:

I bought mine off ebay,a couple of years ago when I 1st got it,they dont appear to list the same wheel as mine,but they do have these.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-New-Alloy-Wheels-Used-Tyres-Nissan-ElGrand-x-4_W0QQitemZ200383278769QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Ca
r_Rims_ET?hash=item2ea7c62eb1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
They come with part worn tyres on,mine have lasted 20,000 miles,they are just getting ready for replacement now,so they are good value for money.
If you do go for them,start your best offer at £300 I did and they eccepted
