I deccided after owning a few fun drift cars... then getting an old man mercedes 420 sec.. that i needed another drift car again!!!
It's a BMW e30 316 with the 2.5 straight 6 m20 lump dropped in.
Its got a pretty good spec to it, and as drift cars go.. its pretty much done. diffs sorted, its got a bit've extra grunt... cage, hydro..14" banded steelies lol!
~It had a few issues... a crack in the sump being one... drove it 300miles home and it didnt miss a beat so pretty pleased and sump is now sorted... Its a suprisingly solid little car... no real issues with body work or rust. one small bit in the boot but thats now sorted!
My mate drove me from Essex to Bideford, north Devon ( what a lad!).. 580 mile round trip for him in a clio 182...
Anyway.. pics!
filling up for a long ass trip home!
Clock says 6.20 (was an hour out) ... at this point.. just another5 1/2 hours to go then :/
the 'small' oil leak.. this was over night :/ I got in at 12 and left for work @ 5am... (now dealt with thank fuck!)
and pics as it stands / stood outside my work ealier + a couple stolen from the ebay add. had a little play with it once or twice.. not bad at all. last drift car i had was a 180sx.. this is a different kettle o fish but just as much fun!!!
Lol :p
It used to belong to Paul at a drifty garage down that way ( Devon).. cant remeber the name but its quite well known... .. just googled it.. think its JDMGarage?
I may be fitting some slightly larger tyres though.. the sump sits just under 1" from the deck... the splitter is lower. the tyres are 225/40r14!!!! never knew they did that profile!
Anyway, no real plans for it. another bucket seat would be nice.. new things here and there but barely worth writing about.. just going to skid the bloody thing!
Cheers!
Do the 325's make good drift cars?
