I would also recon the cam belt. It would be the first place to look at. What were you doing drifting a 1.8 in the dry, it has a good chance of breaking!!

No combelt its a m10! Chain driven
Can you turn the engine over by hand? (socket on the front pully)
Make sure all the HT leads are on properly.
Also may have snapped a negative battery strap
