MK2's and the celicas from those years are easy to drift. I love my MK2 for that reason. The MK3's (and I presume the MK4's) are a lot tougher -- but still doable

mk4's with a good suspension setup and a lot of weight shaving will get the job done...the reason an mk4 and mk3 is hard to initially drift is because of its stock weight...taking out the rear seats is a good start, as well as all the amenities you dont need like a/c, radio...some bum tried to sell me a 240sx drift car with a full radio setup and a body kit, but not suspension or anything related to drifting....i obviously dint but it...i might as well start drifting my supra... but i wanna get the motor tuned properly before hand...dont wanna mess anything up

I've never driven a mk4, but my friends say that the stock mk3 suspension is way better for drifting than the mk4 cuz the mk3 suspension likes to throw out the rear end (just get on a dirt road at a moderate speed and take some easy turns; you'll feel it, and if you're like me you'll love it!).
About weight, how much do the rear seats weigh? With a full tank, my mk3 weighs over 3700 pounds (certified scale). (It weighs more than my mom's mercury sable!). How much weight can i take out, and how much will it help my drifting?

i have a friend who got a mk4 n/a turbo... oh men... its not that good in drifting... to me it seens like the body is to heavy or something.. or maybe not lots of hp... or something is wrong with it... so i havent experience with the mk4 so dont know much. but like i said. i have a friend with the 95 supra n/a turbo.... after drifting the mk4 i didnt like it as much as my mk2 turbo. so i think the mk4 is taugher then the mk2..... n now i working on my 76 toyota celica rwd. swapt in the 7mgte. on it... n still learn how to drift on the old scoop celica....
