What did your M42 drift like?

I had a go at a drift day at barkston heath a few months ago, and could never get the hang of it. Gearing was too funky, 1st was too low, 2nd was too high.

Calypso Red

I Really like thta E36

Took me a few looks to get the hang on that E36 but it's pretty sexy.

I'm definitely not a drifter, but my touring with its 4.27 diff looses grip easy enough in 2nd with a little kick of the clutch, it not being a slipper probably doesn't help matters though.

my car drifts very well just a standard M42 with a 4.45 diff welded up and on the right corner it will keep sliding in 3rd no problems! it was mainly 2 gear drifts at lydd cart track but when the tyres were going you could get 3rd!
and as for mine being calypso red it might not be soon!!!!!!

and my friends S14 powered 318is is painted in imola red looks in real life

That's the most unattractive steering wheel I have ever seen. Rest of that car looks awesome though.

Was there much damage after your excursions into the tyres?

a small bit of damage to the lower valance under the bumper but im not to bothered got another one on the 4th if i get booked up in time and after that one ill be painting it a different colour anyways so damage is not a problem

Not too bad then, I'd like to do a drift day at Lydd later in the year - where are they advertised?

go on driftworks.com and i think its in the events bit you have to be quick tho as they go pretty much straight away!!!!

also THEO325 do u know whats need to make my car from 4 stud to 5 stud!!!!!

You need e30 m3 bits for 5 stud, the front struts and rear hubs are the most important parts and you'll need the brakes obviously. I may have a full setup available very soon...

i heard you can use E36 front legs and compac rear arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a lot cheaper than e30 m3 stuff

You can use compact rear arms, but you need to use mostly E36 M3 Evo front bits, which is a big, expensive list. As Theo said, E30 M3 bits are the best option.

how much am i looking at for all them bit just out of interest

Some nice drifting, cexcursions into the rubber could've been worse

love to do some skids at lydd at some point, bit far from me tho.
crashing is fun, just dont hit anything solid!
giddyness seems to be my enemy when drifting.

as me and my mates say IF IN DOUBT GO FLAT OUT and crash haha

Good bit of opposite lock you boys have got going there...so much for japstheonlyway!

yeah we were the only bm's their all the other cars were S13/14s and a couple of sierras!
