Welcome.
Miatas make lousy drift cars because they have a low polar moment of inertia. You need something like a 240sx or 240-260-280zx, RX7, or something like that with a high polar moment of inertia to make a good drift car.
If you can't afford the right car for the job, you probably can't afford to wreck it, and drifting is wrecking; Wrecking over and over again.

I actually had a long post written, but I hit back and it erased everything.
OP you should look into Autox. If you are set on drifting that's cool too. Just be aware of what sixshooter mentioned.
I'd say go for a 1.8 from the start. Preferably a 94' or 95'.
