Hi Guys, Just wanted to stick up some details on this years British Drift Championships. I know there are quite a few people on here involved already and it would be great to see more along :D The series has grown massively over the last year and this year is expected to do the same. Going sideways ...

Thanks bud, appreciated.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I've got some for sale from my crashed 318is and wasn't sure how much to ask for them? I'm just looking to sell them on cheap but want to get some idea of what they are worth second hand.

Hi guys, Can someone tell me the going rate for a 318is springs, dampeners and hub assemblies (and poss front subframe) please? I don't know the going rate to ask for them; want to give a good deal but don't want to see myself off either?? many thanks.

Ah right, that picture has made the penny drop I think, I was messing with the hub end and not the metal tube. I ended up going out and getting another car yesterday so the bimmer is on hold for a few days. I need to catch up with all the work I didn't do last week when fixing the cars!

Ok, thanks for that, I'll try it first thing in the morning. Bit pi**ed its set me back so far as I need a car for monday work really. Might have to pick something up tomorrow and do the car later in the week

I'm removing the rear trailing arm assembly to put onto my other shell along with new bushes and suspension. Excuse the rant, just copied it from another forum I'm on, thought someone here might be able to help? Basically I can't get the handbrake cable out from its conduit. It wont budge at all and...

Cool, I'll try that tomorrow then if I get a chance. Had a right nightmare tonight trying to remove the rear trailing arm assemblies.

I've got an e36 steering rack but I don't have the e36 metal pipes as thats where its been cut off the car. Is it realistic to try and bend the 318is or 320 pipes to fit the e36 rack that come in at different angles? Has anyone done this without kinking them? I've got a spare rack to try it on but w...

Brilliant, much appreciatted. I've been doing searches on all the forums as well as asking to try and confirm

Thanks!

Hi, I'm fitting powerflex bushes at the mo. I'm doing the front ones on the rear of the arm. I've chisselled out the rubber inner and I'm left with the metal ring inside the cast part. Does this metal ring need to come off as well? it looks like it does but I was afraid to start smashing it getting ...

http://www.driftworks.com/forum/other-news-events/41991-l2k-team-drift-competition-1000-1st-prize-all-welcome-driftracing-run-nov-24-25-a.html Just thought I'd stick this up as a few mentioned an interest. There's a practice day on the saturday and a team drift comp on the sunday. All spectators wel...

Bimmers seem to be a bugger for bleeding the cooling. I had the same problem when I changed the water pump on my e34 last year. Took me ages to get it fully bled, I had to keep doing it for a couple of days to really sort it, it was as if air was getting stuck in the block and working its way round?

Thanks guys. Hopefully just connecting it together will do the job then. I don't want to think about any electrical problems I might have! Got the loom fitted and removed the front subframe today so steady progress

Hi, I've just removed the loom from my 318is and put it into the 320 shell. There are two relays ( and a third empty socket) that sit up near the windscreen on the loom. I've guessed that they may be the main (DMU?) and fuel pump relay as they look similar to my e34 ones (!) but not sure. Anyhow the...

Have you been on trampdrift mate? The general rule seems to be anything under Ã‚£500

I got my e30 for the same reasons.

Pmsl, the one with the nice wing?! I got the link from driftworks

What do they say if they are a slipper? Doing a donut always seems a bit wrong when testdriving a car

Looks really nice mate.

Ideal for track apparently.

Thanks Brian your a star! Thats the ABS thing sorted!! I've got a powerflex full bush kit so hopefully should have everything there. Will I need to pull all the brake gubbins out of the 318is to make the discs work on the 320? ie any bits that are in the front so I have an extra set of brake pipes t...

First question as its something I need to look at today! The 318is has disc rear brakes and the 320 just has drums. Does anyone know how much work is involved to transfer the 318is discs to the 320 shell? I've got a brake pipe tool here somewhere. Also a novice question - if the car has ABS , how ca...

Righto, been busy over the last day or two. Please bear in mind I'm a complete novice! I've rebuilt a 300zxtt engine before and done various jobs but never anything this big. Stripped the 318is ready to remove the engine, exhaust, ancils, loom etc are mostly off. Note the Haynes manual which general...

Thought I'd stick this up on here as well. I get the feeling I may be asking a load of questions for those more experienced than my novice self! I got this recently as many know: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a261/monaghanroyal/DSC01480.jpg Front bumper dent is from some LSD testing on the way h...

Yeah, that makes lots of sense. I've got a shed full of powerflex, coilovers and new arbs and other bits here. I'm so glad I never had time to fit it all, I would have lost a lot of money then. Everything is being transfered to a 4dr 320 at the moment so should be fun. I'd love to have another touri...

WD50 - thats like WD40 but even better.............

Its swimming in WD50 but not getting far! I managed to snap one of the bolts off with a breaker bar but I can't even get my sockets onto the others! I'll probably have to drill or grind it off tomorrow I suppose. Why are exhausts always such a mission?!

Yes, well said and from what I've seen so far very true. I had an e34 325 tourer that I used as a tow car last year and for the size of it that was incredibly impressive. The e30 is even more of the same. Very impressive design and engineering One thing I'm not so sure of though is the forgiving bit...

Just thought I'd mention it as I've been wrestling with the feckers for the last few hours and got nowhere fast

Wish I had a blow torch

Can I ask a silly question: are all e30 m3 left hand drive or something?? excuse my noob-ness! Anyhows baring that I'd go for the e30 m3 as smaller and lighter rules in a drivers car IMO, much more usable on the limit than a big heavy beast. Not to say there's anything wrong with the M5 as its obvi...
