Only had it a day and me and mate went for a couple of skids last night in a very quite local industrial estate.

I was being very tentative as didnt want to crash it seeing as my mate is using it everyday but spun it on a roundabout.

Ended up letting mate have a go and he smoked the roundabout out and he carried on drifting, next he came to a bend and started to drift it but it snapped the other way...straight into a fucking wall

oh well im so glad im not the first one to bend it as we both own it and i would never hear the end of it.

Fucking 24 hours after we picked it up - dented

luckily damage was not too bad just a small dent on rear qtr, dent under rear tail light and scuffs on the rear n/s bumper.

So who else has done similar in a similar time frame?

No pics as of yet but will try and get some soon.

Got a few good pics of battle scars on my last cossie after a discussion with the tyre wall at coombe in 2006 - will try and find them

 

get some pics up and did you weld the diff m8

 

Oh well.. was bound to happen sometime!

 

PICS!

 

you were the owner if i remember correctly?

 

yes was mine m8

 

nah havent welded it up yet - but soon.

need to cut thw springs too and sort out the front hub as its not on quite right.

hopefully get it up on the ramp later.

Ralph - do you stil have the pcs from the ad - if so can put em up on here?

cheers

 

Get your self (and your mate) along to a DWYB day at santa pod. I learnt loads after going there comapred to pissing about in quite industial estates. Only £60 for the whole day and loads of good drifters that can offer you some pointers if you want to progress.

 

defo gonna do that and have get some tuition in aswell. very good value for money too that and one of the closest places where i can legally drift it.

25th aug is the next day but im not sure i will be free that day

 

All the marshals up there are all drifters of a reasonable standard, any one of them will be more than willing to get you tuition for no extra cost.

 

excellent - pod it is then.

just need to weld the diff and lower it to get rid of the barge like behaviour

 

Sounds like a good plan, a bucket seat would help no end aswell.

 

yeah im on the lookout for some cheapy buckets - need to sell the leather interior to help pay for the buckets and harnesses.

Any good power mods to do to the M50 engine?

 

 

Not sure mate, havea look here:

awesome will have a read

will get pics up later as at work now

 

i will see if i can find them for you m8

 

cheers

 

here you go m8

 

get the interior stripped out the pal and sell it on

exhaust and induction kit always helps with the power

on some beemers you can change the diff to one with a different ratio to help acceleration, maybe you could have a look into this.....

 

awesome

cheers

have a look at how the bumpers held on to the wing

 

my rs500 bumper was held on with a few cable ties on one end after i drifted round a corner and straight into a motherfucker of a pothole

surprisingly even when i stacked it at coombe it STILL held

 

Very common in the driftworld. When you clip something bump comes off but stays in one piece (unless the guy behind runs it over).

Used drift cars? Have a look here:

http://www.driftworks.com/forum/medi...ed-abused.html

 

the guy on driftworks has a point about not making them not look like show cars, they do look sooooo good like that

do mx5's get fround upon for drifting/tracking with no roofs? or are they ok and with a cage it just makes them better?

 

love that thread gonna go out on the weekend and try and get some practice in.

the problem i had with my saff was a little bit of fear that i would prang it,take that away and the fun realy begins!

i bought this with the thought that if i boomed it ,it wouldn't be the end of the world.

bashed in the rear quarter good and proper last year ,bashed it back out and kept going.

the beauty of a dedicated drift car!...

 

Love the stance and wheels


What colour are the rims ? ?

 

not sure,came from a mates gtr..

i like them tho!

 

 

thats exactly why i didnt want to practice in my 3dr cos and the primary reason for buying a disposable bmw.

 

 

My mates after bending all the front and taking the sump off on a kerb


then what happend to the replacement!

 

WongRS - i have some spares for that E30 if you need anything to fix it

Anyone know if you can cut the springs on an E36 as i been told they are narrower at one end and thus you cannot cut them

 

Nah, thats long gone now im afraid!
i'm feeling i need another 325 TDS though........

 

we do cheap drift days over at http://never-lift.com/forum/index.php £10 buxton days in association with driftone and hold our own at brum wheels for £20 cheap as fuck legal practice time

p.s chop the springs lol

 

Jubilee clips/cable ties are your friend. Just cut the springs then ust them to attach them to the top mount(front)/ trailing arm(back). I know people who drift regulary with anything holding them on and they've never dislocated but i'd do it for peace of mind.

 

non of mine have ever popped out and i dont tie mine

 

Excellent. Cheers for that. Have registered over there too
