Done it today to an E30 318 tourer and what a bloody laugh the car is to drive, down the ind est (private property) spinning and sliding around like a madman all afternoon, cant wait for Crail tomorrow.

Cant recomend this enough if youve got a cheap rwd car and want a laugh

Not on a road car... they are a fookin nightmare, low speed manoeuvres are a pain.

On the road the car just wants to push on all the time, its not something for the uninitiated to just get in and drive, it will bite you.

You are better off getting production slipper from one of the better spec models, I'm sure the 325i Sport comes with a slipper as standard.

Stavros

only bad on a road car if your a complete pussy IMO dont get me wrong, if you just want a normal daily drive its gay, but if i ever wanted to fuck about in my daily driver, id run one.

you dont even feel it in normal driving over 5mph, and on most cars you dont even feel it pushing on much

production slippers are dogwank

cant see it biting anyone, esp in a 318, it will just understeer more

david

well its not so good............






On the handling circuit this morning at crail, way to fast and far to sideways, hit the tyres and ended up with the car lying on the drivers side on top of what was left of the tyres

Ross from here was the passenger, all he said was 'davie if I take my seatbelt off im gonna land on you' sorry for scaring you mate.

There is a small clip of it happenigh. will get it posted up later.

I have the 325isport as a drift car and the oe slipper is just fine....

fuzzy

I didn't think the E30 325i Cab's came with an LSD! I know for sure mines doesn't

i have a 2.5 touring diff in the cab at the mo , its not a slipper tho im guessing it cant be the right diff for the car i got it off . i have found the gearing is way to short now tho

Anonymous

I found that out aswell as sometime in the life of my Cab it has had a rear axle change

lotusmk2

i had (had being the word)an e36 campact my second car at 17 great for a bit of the rear wheel steer in the wet untill i put it through a fence and on to its roof last friday night and spent all saturday fixing the fence and picking up glass great fun when its all good when it goes wrong its hilarious lmao ill post pics of damage l8r

was yours the white one all bashed getting towed about crail???

vroooom ptssssh

Fpmsl, as said ONLY you Dave....

Was proper fun last night in the industrial estate, I thought 30% chance of you bringing it home alive with diff in one piece, 30% diff cracking...and 40% u'd bin it but as said, what more fun can you have for that money an it doesnt matter that its fooked as was cheepo

Think Sean might think twice about buying it now tho...might buy the diff if he gets another E30

Couldnt come today altho wish I had now , was proper hungover..didnt get in till 8am an jus went straight to bed!

How did you get on with the drifting? did you manage to hold some decent slides? how long did you get before you stacked it?

lotusmk2

no mine was a blue one which is ina post called test drive went wrong haha not been to crail yet didnt c the point in takin it too slow

big_wig_074

one word: bollocks,im using mine as a daily driver,only notice it when im doing 3 point turns. it corners far better than it used to and in no way bites,it understeers a bit more than it used to.but it is utterly useable and very safe,just a little clunky if under 5mph doing VERY tight maneuvres.

jeek

seen a vid of this on my mates phone! Those tyres on the inside corners of bends are a killer! Thats the second rollover in 3 events

Still funny though!

dojj

iTrader: (3)

sounds like cheap/expensive fun if you ask me

as long as you killed the car and not the people inside then you can always get another one and start again

i think the lesson learnt here is be carefull going round corners at crail

Seen this pics on the west rsoc forum david

i drove a sierra drift car with welded diff on saturday, VERY understeery, couldnt believe it! really had to kick the clutch or work the handbrake to get it sideways at low speeds (im a n00b at drifitng so was staying in first gear as there was lots of stuff to hit )

really controllable when the back came out, but found it suprisingly hard to get it sideways to begin with!! just wanted to go straight on! more dangerous than the back coming out

Stavros

Half your problem was staying in 1st gear IMO, your going too slow to do owt but understeer.

Its not just the diff tho, all sierras understeer like a bitch if drive "normally" unless you got power to power oversteer it (there a big recent thread on here about it), and if its fudgeys car you drove, then you obv didnt have power to do that.

neilm

I rest my case.....


People drive them, think they are colin macrae or the star of Tokyo Drift because they can make the car dance, they get cocky and the next thing.. it bites them and they end up with a punkerd car...

Stavros

More likely to oversteer with an open diff, so i dont see your point really.

Its how the person drives (or tries to) not what diffs in it.

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

I was the lucky passenger

Just remember headin towards the big fuck off tyres fairly quickly then it all went blank and landed on our side! Nothing hurt apart from the drivers side of the BM!

Got the vid on my phone - any idea how i upload it?

Dan Cossie

Stavros

Anyone heard from Dave?

david

Im still here, been at court all day.

It is/was cheap fun, played about with it all of saturday and had a great 5min at crail not to mention the journey up

Neil I bought the car to have a laugh in and kill it, I did want to take my track car up but it wasnt going to be ready on time so I got the bmw.

I was driving like a twat and I dont care, no excuses or trying to pretend I can drift or anything like that.

xr-stu

yeah it was dans car, i was obviously papping it a it as i didnt wanna smash the thing up (not that he cares i dont think ), when i got a bit of confidence and was kicking the clutch and holding the throttle down longer it was coming out alright, would be much better learning in a wide open space with just cones to hit instead of 12" steel RSJs though ...

vroooom ptssssh

Nice one, so your not goin anywhere then?

whats needed to fix it? if its jus 2 doors im sure sean will still be intrested.

david

I sold it to one of the marshalls at Crail, couldnt drive it home

dojj

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Those tyres are solid big buggers, we managed to fairly scatter them though
