How about you learn to speak English and I'll ask the question again......


Where/when/did i say welded diffs are bad for drifting

Assumption is the mother of all F-ups and you are assuming a lot. There is one fact here, which is you are a drift cock

Lets see a picture of you drift machine e30 then. I could do with a laugh :D

One of the worst things about owning an E30 is that when you tell people you have one, the first question is usually, "Have you welded your diff?"

Yes, because my 1.8 chromie has enough power and looks like a fucking drift car :roll:

I don't own a sub 1k e30

If you don't want to talk to strangers then using a forum is certainly not the right place for you

Me illegal ? Laughable as I spend lots of my work time deporting them

Drift cock, it's not a new word but if you need an explanation it's quite simple

Look at yourself & look at your car :D

In 2005, E30's were probably at the cheapest point.

You could get tidy M3's back then for £5k!

Even the average models to be honest, clean run of the mill models could be picked up for buttons back then quite easily but now pretty most of the stuff in the £500-1000 range is rubbish.

Yeah not going to argue with that thats my whole reason for owning a e30 i wanted to get into drifting looking for a cheap car to get started bought one for under 1k and that way when i hit a wall or tyres im not going to be bothered as its going to happen. I came on here looking for like minded people maybe pick up things i could do to my e30 to improve it. But im guessing its more a polish your'e e30 forum. Il still post here anyway i enjoy the reaction :cool:

On this forum, welded diffs are generally frowned upon specially on cars used on the road.

This forum has a wide mix of what people are into. There are drifter, OEM homos, modders.

The modders can vary widely in how extreme the go with minor tweaks to generally improve upon the standard car like suspension mods, minor engine mods etc to people who do full on engine conversions, body mods, ICE etc.

What do I own ?
Daily hack is an e39 530i sport
I own the e24 in my Avtar
I own an e30 M3 which is a project
I own an e36 compact with 2.8 M52 with an LSD and its a track day toy

In fully aware of the costs of an e30 but there not a lot available for less than a grand.
I'm also used to the fact that people use them for drifting on a competition level and I'm equally aware of the vermin like yourslef who buy a shed of an e30, weld the diff and think they are a drifter
You go your local McD's and talk a load of bollocks with your drift mates and make up BS stories of how you raced a scooby and overtook then sideways

Now, you are very misinformed with your views of this forum & it's members

You are a drift cock and that's clear as day.
You also need to be carful, if Scotland ever gets its independence I may be deporting one day :P

Sounds like u had a bad upbringing back in your home country is that why you left trying to get into the uk and found yourself mug one of the officials and stealing his identity as the only way in? I feel sorry for u i really do.
Nice to see u have a stereotype for me shame is my e30 is not my daily it hardly gets used at the moment im abit old to be sitting about mcds car park im guessing thats what u do with your "track toy" compact and show all your bro's how quick u can do a lap of the carpark :clap:
Ive only been to 2 drift days on a track and still got alot to learn but i enjoy it and is my reason for having my e30 and it being on the road so your quite wrong with your image of me but thanks anyway :moon:

Lol standard internet retort for people made to look daft: "Oooohhh I was fishing!"

Yet it was you biting at every line dipped in with a negative welded diff comment.

All that's missing now is mum jokes.

Wow where to start!

Matt black-check
4 door-check
Stupid sun visor-check
Removed inner headlights-check
Cheap bucket seats-check
Hottuning bad boy manifold-check
K&N filter sucking in hot air-check
Dangerously modified suspension-check
Illiterate owner-check

Yep, all the makings of a class A drift cock!

You realise pigtails are that shape to stop them falling out right? I would say fix it, but I like to see Darwin's theory put into practice :D

If i was using it on track id happily spend the money on lsd coilovers etc but its not so cut springs are fine and welded diff :D i have bought a proper bucket seat since those pics they awfull seats came with the car 8O nice research there :?
