Update

I have been taught by a well-known Zoner how to do burnouts. Proper ones.

Why?

Pony asked how so i obliged!

I can't believe you did that. It's the equivalent of letting a child play with a shotgun!!

Burn outs are safer than drifting... just.

Maybe he'll be content with smoking his tyres in one spot?

[Gert_8]

I can't help thinking this isn't going have a happy ending - and not the type Pete likes.

[ross_jsy]

Safe until he slips off the brakes (I'll let you speculate why the pedal may be slippery) and launches into a wall!

[bss325i]

Oh well, you'll get that diff a bit quicker Ross. Locks well!

It's got a rampant Z3M back plate now as well.

[ross_jsy]

Pony doesn't like me enough to sell it to me

Diff cover is pointless to me, going twin mount for the powaaaahh

[bss325i]

Diff cover = more shekels innit.

[ross_jsy]

He needs the cooling fins for the massive slides he will be holding

Barry got my Sport proper sideways. Proper Ilford / Croydon stylee ....
When was the last time anyone saw E30 325i Sport doing burnouts, donuts and sideways and drifting ?
And what about when that last saw tech1 do that ?

[jimbom30cab]

Pony, you'd be better off getting a 2.7 conversion and a few tweaks, it would give you much for fun than a digital air vent thingy

Last time was a YouTube video of some tanked up Turks. Can you post some vids please.

[jimbom30cab]

sounds fun, I might book up a diffin lesson with Bazza

A month or so ago in my "ruined" sport, innit

No windows, proper race car styleeeee

I don't see the point on doing all that expense on engine conversion
Better to spend on getting better as a driver

Couldn't agree more - I am a terrible driver...now where did I put that s50...

[pony]

Ie better to get as much PRACTISE as possible than spending money on mods IMO.

[jimbom30cab]

Pony, ref the 2.7 conversion, i'll let you have a go in mine and you might change your mind

[pony]

I would rather spend that money on servicing/maintenance/tyres and drifting practise at DWYB etc

[pony]

PS after a ride in Sam's E30 M3 S54 supercharged they all feel slow!!!!

[jimbom30cab]

fair enough, you're really getting into this drifting scene aren't you.

[pony]

I just want to master drifting a stock/standard/OEM E30 325i Sport

Mine is pretty close to OEM except
Rear bushes - Powerflex
LSD - 40% lock
Front wishbone bushes - E30 M3
Rear top mounts - E46
And that's pretty much it

[LondonTom]

Why? Buy a dog of a four door or an e36.

Or an mx5 if that's your bag.

[pony]

Because all the action is in E30 325i Sports
The BMW of choice for any self respecting Yuppie in the 1980s

I don't want a girly MX5 or a lowly 316i/318i
And E36s are just gay compared to E30s IMO

[leeparkes]

I predict......

[Speedtouch]

The film 'Shopping' had a cool E30 scene - recommended viewing.

[jimbom30cab]

that makes me laugh every time

So just buy a 325 four door then - if you're going to be chucking any car into a corner with the intention of going sideways properly then you need to be 100% committed. Not in a car that you'd worry about hitting, as being conscious of that will be likely to only result in you making a mistake.

[ross_jsy]

Tom, what you need to understand is Pony is an idiot and will eschew all advice so he can look like a yuppie or some other bollocks. Let him have his way and we all get a laugh when the inevitable happens

[pony]

Do me a favour Ross and get the fuck off my thread. I don't go on your thread so don't go on mine!!!!

[ross_jsy]

I'm alright Pony, I like the entertainment!

You are more than welcome to come on mine and tell me I've ruined my car, I'm a big boy

[suchy]

I predict......

[youtube][/youtube]

Unfortunately so

Far better for this to happen to some shed of a four door four pot with an Mxx thrown in, than to a restored OEM+ Sport...

Ross you've ruined your car you inbred island w*nker

This!

It's quite refreshing that Pone doesn't take the precious route with his sport, but when you're learning, as it were, it is better to do it in something that is of little value. Pony is spending big time to get it back to OEM, using only "new, genuine OEM parts" and sport values are on the up......? but hey, it's his car, his choice.
