Tires! Tires! Tires!Beyond that, it's a good idea to start with something lightweight and nimble. the heavier the car, the more weight you will be throwing around. It may seem strange, but an LSD (Limited Slip Differential to those unfamiliar) is vital, and failing that, a welded diff or spool is a distant second. Believe it or not, the car doesn't necessarily need to be turbocharged, in fact, boost surge and the extreme variations in the powerband can actually make the process more difficult. An E-brake is helpful, but if the car has enough power, isn't essential. You should also be mindful of the car's rear track in relation to the front...the rear should be narrower while having similar outside sidewall distances, i.e. same overall width but wider tires in the rear. Wider tires ARE more expensive than their narrower counterparts, but a sticky tire is a plus (go figure). I hope this information is helpful, I'm by no means an expert, but I have done some drifting at local track days. And, for everyone's safety, do it in a secluded area. This will ensure bystanders won't be caught unawares by your intravehicular activities, but it will also decrease the chances of your getting a ticket for reckless driving. So, be safe while having fun.
