Wackojacko's E36 Drift project.
Discussion
Evening,
It's a little known fact on here that I rather enjoy the thrills of opposite lock.....
So the obvious thing is to buy a drifter, being to young to insure something Jap and turbo it was the non ///M 6 pot BMW route. After a few attempts to buy a drifter scarpered by sellers not replying or wasting my time.
I went and picked this up today :
The car is solid underneath all the right bits to make it a sorted car, body work is tatty as f
k and hadn't been washed in a year. The rear arches need redoing as they've been rolled harshly and sprayed badly, rust on body work and loads of scratches and scrapes arn't concerning me to much.
Spec :
Z3 Rack
E46 bottom arms
4mm Rack spacers
Willwood Hydraulic handbrake with Driftworks flexi lines
Paddle clutch
Welded diff
Coilovers
M3 top mounts
Cobra Monaco bucket
Stripped rear
E39 wheels
Doubled up rear ARB
Dished steering wheel
and various other mods.
Got it home and washed it inside and out, it was filthy even though it's a tramp drifter I can't deal with dirty/messy cars
There's a few niggles to sort, rattling exhaust and a leaky cam cover gasket that leaks oil onto exhaust and stinks the car out.
All in all with MOT until December,tax until August and 4 spare rear tyres I payed just a grand for this bundle of joy.
Can't wait to abuse the st out of it..... O yeah..... It's my daily driver for a while

Nice, look forward to seeing some videos 
Almost looks like positive camber on the rear in the 2nd pic
Cheers, aha I know what you mean it's an illusion compared to the front. There's about half a degree on the rear believe it or not. Almost looks like positive camber on the rear in the 2nd pic It's a 2.5 single vanos.
Quicker than the 330i !

What fine taste you have in cars, T5 Volvos, MR2s and straight-6 beemers are all winners IMHO
It gets some odd looks, probably thinking the suspension has broken with that much camber.
Peculiar instance really, it's more economical - Faster - nicer to drive than the 330i !
