1: yes cams licence is needed, in adelaide its an S2 cams licence not sure on other state could be same name........i assume it would.
2: generally its cheaper to drift as part of a cams affiliated club and you'l get notified on more events as well
3: Not sure on other states, but fees in adelaide are as follows
- $85 cams licence
- $140 to enter your car per event
- $$$ tyres
- $$$ fuel
- $ club fees if any
- $110 or something for practice at mallala and $20 for day pass cams licence (strictly once off, second time practice ur required to have ur cams licence)
4: Theres quite a few drift events now varying between states and National. 2 National events now, and each state has its own drift event seperately.....so if your good enough ur car and urself will get a good workout if u try for all 3
5: mods for a car with minimal budget could be many things
- catback exhaust system
- air pod
- front mount intercooler
- fuel cut defender
- turbo if the moneys there
