E30 drift challenge

Post Fri Sep 09, 2005 5:04 pm

Who would be up for a E30 drift challenge, if i get 16 or more cars i can arrange a drift event for the Zoner's. Let me no gents and i will work out a price with my pal at DRIFT-UK

Post Fri Sep 09, 2005 5:08 pm

I might be up for this when i get my lsd

When was you thinking of doing the event?
I know Dave (DaveTouring), Karan (Karan) Mark (Zaust) and Rich (TOURINGDADDY) will be up for this.

I would love to do this, but I don't know if you'll get 16 people to do it in E30s. But here's hoping......

im game

Post Fri Sep 09, 2005 5:59 pm

As long as it aint too far north I'm well up for it!!

Post Fri Sep 09, 2005 7:20 pm

Well there seem's to be a lot of new DRIFTERS on here so i will see how many give feed back. Now if we dont get enough E30 zoner drifters i will extend the invite to the E36 owner and maybe a few other but the aim is keeping it BMW.

We have a choice of several venues to chose from and depending on there availabilty and priceing will be dependent on attandence, the more people that turn up the cheaper the price per drifter will be, As for dates
how about early next year so i can organise this properly

So is it a practice or competition(sp?) day ?

Post Fri Sep 09, 2005 9:22 pm

darrlyllylyll you know i'll be up for it, pending when and where

Post Fri Sep 09, 2005 9:24 pm

game on peps but when and where

Post Fri Sep 09, 2005 10:04 pm

It will be a comp but as i said its really down to how many peps i can get.
i.e 16 plus and thats just to break even. As for when and where as i said its down to organising. I need time as i dont want the day to be a load of S@~t.

I am also open to idea's so please feel free to slap in some comments

I will give this one a miss then, i want a practise day as it will be my first drift day so i want some thing nice and informal like the one at Silverstone on the last B/H.

hmmm i would prefer practice too, never really done it properley

Post Sat Sep 10, 2005 8:51 am

Well practice can be done its not a problem. Now would you like a pratice day with just BMW'S and what we can do is hold a mini comp in the afternoon for those who want to take apart.

Post Sat Sep 10, 2005 10:18 am

i'd like to do it, bit of practice for most then a mini comp in the afternoon for our heros!

another chance to put that theory into practice this time!

Post Sat Sep 10, 2005 2:58 pm

Cool. I can run a practice day then maybe around 3pm run a mini comp for those who want one

Lads any ideas as to when you would like this to happen?

Sounds good to me

....depending on location ?

Northampton is pretty central to most folks ??

Post Sat Sep 10, 2005 6:09 pm

How likely is it that drifting will do damage to the suspension or drivetrain? Sounds like fun, but I couldn't afford to do big damage...

Post Sat Sep 10, 2005 6:44 pm

if your cars in healthy condition and your new to drifting, not particularily likely you'll break anything. where as i break something everytime i go drifting but thats just my car telling me it wants to die

Were I to attend, I'd only just have bought the car, so won't know its health... I'll have to give it a miss I'm afraid.

should be fine......unless your diff whines leaks oil etc, i would say most of the strain is on the diff or gearbox the boxes are pretty indistructable and so are the large case diffs

Post Sat Sep 10, 2005 8:15 pm

Come on lads, I have spoken with me pal and even if we dont get the 16 cars needed he has said if there is enought of us BMW drivers at one of his practice days he will hold a mini comp for us. Leave it with me oh and practice days are at silverstone

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:28 am

Ill come and watch.

Standard engine, auto and no lsd doesnt make for a good drift car

Its always good to have spectators

Are you saying that the E30 Drift day will be at Silverstone?
For how many people said they were going to Silverstone last time dropped out cos it was too far or had their other reasons and it was only Dave & Karan doing the drifting.
I think there should be a meet for potential drifter's to make sure they turn up for the actual day! And maybe in an area where we can all get in the spirit of drifting for those who are not too sure about how to do it or whether to do it.

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:27 am

yeah that

Post Mon Sep 12, 2005 12:18 pm

Well where would you guys say is a central place then.

Dee wrote:Well where would you guys say is a central place then.

Not sure what is central for everyone depending on who is actually up for it?
If people are up for the meet then they can put their name down and location, then we can all decide where the best place would be.

eg; Me (Jon- Essex)
Rich (TOURINGDADDY-Portsmouth)
Dave (Davetouring- Cambridge)

This is an example but does'nt help as the centre of location is London

I don't think we will find a drifting ground in London without getting nicked

If anyone has any idea's of a decent location for us boys & ower toys without worrie of Authority then feel free to help as this could be a great & regular meet
