Hi all im new to here!
i am looking in to getting an E30 325 for Drifting.. and advice and what i will need to do to get it drift spec..
i have owned an E36 M3 look alike before but now own a gt4..

drift spec. hmm, nothing its rwd buy one go drive it. an LSD helps, but for learning you need nothing else but the rule of thumb is kinda

1)bucket seat
2)lsd
3)supension uprated dampers/coilovers

but if its rwd it'll be driftable. theres a million and one things you can do to make an e30 "driftspec" but you dont need them. the basics will suffice.

the touring is generally regarded as having better weight distribution for drifting. it's also handy to carry 8 spare wheels with you! :cry:

parts wise: as above really. i would fit a quickrack too. see the E36 rack conversion in the tech articles bit.
