looking at the vid of it drifting it looks like a bit of a barge... it understeers a lot then finally starts drifting - but drifts sideways quite a lot and then snaps back....
doesn't look like a smooth drifter, where as if you look at the 200sx on the 2nd vid that's a car that's drifitng nicely, nice and smooth.

From experience Omegas are seriously hard to drift especially if you dont know what your doing too well, I had a totally standard 3.0 V6 Elite and couldnt get the back end out unless the road was slippy and then it was still nothing special, otherwise it just gripped even in sport mode, can get my dads Lexus GS300 to slide with ease though. Omegas arent the best cars for this.

yeh could be barter. but it'll have it's limitations. Nothing changes the fact it is a heavy car, with a heavy engine up front. It'll drift, but won't drift as well as a nicely set up 200sx. Yes you could spend loads of money on a Omega to get it to drift better, but then why not start with the 200sx in the first place?
I would imagine the owner of the omega, is selling to upgrade to something better or give up drifting?
I'm honestly not slating the car, it'll be great if you just want it for a bit of a laugh. But if you want to drift properly with it, then I wouldn't use it as a base car.

yeh i think that ended up in the barrier all smashed up 
Barter, just stating facts as it is. Each to their own. My mate wanted to go drifting and bought a old 340 Volvo as it was cheap, tried to drift it, modded it to get it to drift, was still pretty poor - just ended up getting a 200sx.

partly lack of balls, partly lack of power, and the vulva being turd.
2.0i, but it doesn't have the 115bhp that it's supposed to. a 1.7 would probably be quicker.
£200 if you want it.
