sell ur s2k and get a sr swapped 240 for the same money. 240=drift machine. Unless you want to be different that get a fc rx7 they are a decent drit vehicle too

if you get some mean toe in on the back tires you might be able to do it . it tucks back in relatively nicely now that I have the UK spec. Drifting, IDK but powerslides its almost controllable

get a different steering rack, get rid of that speed sensitive steering, find a way to get a longer wheel base... uh yeah go buy another car.

Hard car to drift and if you can do it you wont keep it out as long without modification to your front suspension to be able to bring the rear back, def need more power so you can control the back end, and a nice LSD. Way too many reasons why not to drift a car that was specifically designed to not lose control.

Despite the idea that "the S cant drift", I've been able to do it. However, by no means is it easy and I'd have to say its borderline fun and its tiring. You need to constantly play with the steering and throttle to keep a constant slide. It took a ton more effort for me to maintain a decent drift with the S than it did with my miata.

if you can do it in a stock s, a 240 will make you look almost heroic

just the suspension angle, price of part and large supporting drifting communities alone makes 240 a better drifting platform for 90% of people.

Pick up any tuner mag that shows how they built a budget drift car and see that even on a budget they spent 10k on suspension and LSD alone. And you will need to go FI and re-enforce your entire drive train from clutch to Diff housing. If you really want to do it, go for it. But you are going down a road of never ending broken parts and money pitting. Just get it side ways in a parking lot and be happy with it.
