Default Best kit to go with?

I live in south Florida, near Ft. Lauderdale, and I've been looking for Drift kits for a bit now, the only thing I've really found is what this place has...

[link=http://www.*********.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_60_128]180sx Yokomo Drift kit[/link]

Now I do like how the 180SX looks and I know how to paint and clear coat, etc. to make it look nice should I want to change the paint scheme (I use to work in my friend's cutoms body shop and hung out with the painters sometimes). But I've seen the Rx-7 (FD3s type body) and the R34 Skyline and the S2000s, and I like how they look, although I would prefer a R33 Skyline shell if possible, I also like the Subaru which I heard comes with the TT-01D, but I was wondering if anyone is around south florida, or at least knows any Hobby shops with a website that does shipping and offers more variety in Drift kits and body shells with the drift kits..... Thanks!!!

I've checked out some local hobby shops by me, but they're typically small shops and don't really have the type of drift kits that I've had out of state friends recommend.

I also found this website, which offers more variety, I can see they have the RX-7, I like and the r34, but no s2000.... not to mention I'd be ordering offline and paying extra money for shipping when I would prefer to be able to pick it up and not have to spend that extra money since it's already $300 as it is.

Yeah some of the guys from SG Drifters were talking about the Tamiya TA-03, unfortunately I can't really find any about it online, perhaps I'm not looking in the right place? I noticed those were RTR and I would prefer a kit because I like putting the cars together, I was just using an example of the nearest thing I could find, I would prefer to find a shop near me that has it all because that would save me some money on shipping right? and at least save me more money to customize it..... Thanks for your help guys....

BTW is the TC-4 electric or nitro? I heard nitro gets really dirty so I would prefer electric to be clean.
