Cool stuff. The m60/2 is the main option for my drift car later this year. Manifolds are no problem to make up, my brake servo is already switched round to be where the glovebox should go, and making mounts etc isn't a problem. I'll just use a nice big e28 rad, or, funds permitting, a nice shiny alu...

OK, I should have said "to make things easier"

I like making future jobs easier on my car though I guess, hense moving the brake master cyl/servo into the car, stripping all wiring out of the engine bay, moving the clutch reservoir and coil etc.

My car ran fine on standard suspension with this engine, as have a couple of mates who've had them in 320i's and 318is's. The brakes are also fine, my car ran as a competition car and fast road car on standard brakes, standard pads, cheapo dot 4 fluid etc, all fine and safely, with a 1.6, 2.5, and 3...

225bhp/lbft 3.5 here, it is a handful in the wet in any gear, and anything 3rd or below in the dry takes some caution. 300bhp would be stonking

Good stuff. Ghetto style DIYing at it's best

Will do a proper for sale thread later, paypal is:

trampdriftrr@hotmail.co.uk

any questions can also be sent to that address.

Thanks,

I'll get paypal sorted tonight. First pair of gearbox mounts just been made. We've also sourced some coated bolts so they won't rust. They aren't shitty weak stainless fasteners these are 12.8 high tensile items. The bolts above won't be supplied, they will be pretty and silver. Pictures of the engi...

Jason - yes. Paypal will be sorted shortly. Should have some gearbox and more engine mounts being made up this week. Thnks for the link of muzzimotorsport. Their stuff is expensive but some of it is posher than our stuff due to better machining capabilities. Ours is simpler and "does the job" rather...

First pair of aluminium engine mounts just been made. They are really light actually, and have a really nice surface finish on them despite the flash making them look a little choppy. Come with brand new high tensile allen head bolts, washers, and nuts. Simply undo the top and bottom nuts on your ru...

Engine and gearbox mounts will be made this week, those who've mentioned interest, ie...

If you do want some then ready some cash. We will get some pictures up first but just letting you know we should have the first batch ready this week for sending.

OK will do Junior. For all - m30 conversion mounts are being fabbed up this weekend to see how things go. Got a pair that eradicate the "rubber" being made for a friend's 3.5 drift cabriolet, and some more made up to allow for the standard rubber. I'll get some pictures up when they are complete :) ...

OK no probs just bring the stuff round when you get it and we'll get some dimensions.

Gunni - sort it aaahhht. Bring me a crank round if you've got one so we are definately going to be making the right thing. I'll make up a batch of say 15-20 so want to get them right

Dave - noted down I'll be in touch.

And what's the dims for the woodruff key? Is that just a slot all the way through the bore? How wide and how deep into the ring?

Got it. So what's that washer the dude was talking about?

If you can get me measurements then that'll be no problem. Looking at about £40 since it has to be a decent (ground) surface finish. Is it used as a bearing face at all? Ie does the outside rub against something?

Yeah let me know Gunni, I'll make sure you get a good price. We can get rosejoints at decent prices hense our general low costs

Most drifters have adjustable arms with exposed rosejoints. I hadn't seen them done like that before. Can do them no problem for a lot cheaper than 200 euros.

oze they will be straight swap yep, pics when we've made some. This is a "gathering interest thread" and, thankfully, it seems there is interest in most items

Shorty - let me know yeah, thanks pal.

Due to my heavily custom setup, and lack of friends with standard cars. I am after gear linkages from a standard 325i including the lower rod. I have a couple of 2.5 gearboxes and a 1.6i gearbox with linkage, and a 318iS gearbox with linkage, but I don't have a linkage that I can confirm to be from ...

Done some initial development on the short shift kit, will be kinky and cheeeap. Also done some thinking about the lollipops, we will be offering the push-in steel bushes welded in place for max camber, but also going to basically make cheaper versions of the treehouse bushes with no reduction in qu...

OK cheers Uwe. Been talking with my partner in crime and we will be making some initial bits this week and putting some R+D into our more interesting items. This thread will stay updated with our progress and hopefully have some pictures of products in stock in a week or so. Any other bits that peop...

Bumpy bump

OK cool, cheers Ian I'll keep you up to date

Ha, nice try, but I'll have them on my own thanks! Anything I can't fit to mine though I'll give you a shout, appreciate the offer.

Nah, people always run solid mounts on various cars and never had a problem. I havn't fitted any to mine yet but will be doing soon enough and will let you know how it goes. If it starts to pull my floorpan apart then I'll report back lol.

Will be in a couple of months yeah, batch sizes aren't so important so pretty much if you put your name down you can get what you want, I don't need minimum numbers but no point in us going to the effort of making stuff if nobody is interested in things

Subframe mounts will be like a proper version of powerflex. Powerflex offer a good product for pussies who want a slightly firmer ride, solid bushes provide no mercy no deflection "power to the ground" kind of support. The trailing arm bushes will prevent stupid camber/toe changes under load and hol...

Hi all, I'm pretty handy at fabrication and a mate works with all the machines and tools necessary to make various parts. Most of these/all of these are going to go on my drift e30, and I thought if others were interested we could make up a few batches. Hope mods don't consider this trading, as it's...

DanThe.... Are you 12? You're really childish, your signature lmao.

Yeah there were only a couple of decent drivers there, most people were pretty new to drifting and most peoples cars were more like standard road cars than actually modified drifters. Then I spent most of the day trying to drift rubbish cars like my brothers e28 520i, a 525i touring, a f*cked e30 32...

town325i - I agree it's crap to watch, I only like it because I compete.

Felix - I know you've been totally open minded so thanks

PS - I spend on average 30hrs per week on my car, every week.

Edit - before reading this, I wasn't trying to have a go, I understand you're being perfectly good about it all, this may come out more bitchy than I actually mean :D I think most people with rough looking cars do just use the "I prefer to use it" bullshit, but that's the actual truth with me lol. I...

Thanks for the pic

Ooh look it's my fat ass leaning in the window too, probably to check it's not set itself on fire.
