Starting to build an e30 drift car, I'm putting lots of time and effort into it and will be a ongoing project, space framing front end from just after struts so easy access to engine ECT, full cage, all parts are been shot blasted and painted.... But anyway I'm not sure what's best engine conversion to do as want plenty of power to the rear wheels :) any info would be great help cheers
