Drift or Sound? Welded Diff or Straight Pipe?
Discussion
So I'm an Sorry-Ass Under 18 t
t that wants to drift his 316i.
But the problem is that he needs to weld his diff. he doesn't have a license so where will he go to drift? I can drive around the farm i live in, there is also a little place I can drift, But I'm afraid it's not enugh. I have enough money for that weld, but I'm not too sure it'll be owrth it.
OR I can Straight pipe her, BUT the f*cking problem with that is, it's an 1.8 DOHC *quiet* engine. And I'm spending some big ass money here on both of them, so Which one should I do?
Straight-Pipe is going to be like £70, but I'm not too sure how I'm gonna get my car over there.
Welding the Diff is going to be about £50-£70 And I, For sure, can get there. About 100 metres away, there is an mechanic that can do a good job on it.
Please Help. Or maybe recommend me another mod that I could do that doesn't exceed like £100

If you're going to be practicing to drift outside your house i'd probably go for the welded diff and forget the exhaust. The 4 pot will sound crap anyway and you'll just end up annoying everyone within a 5 mile radius of you.t that wants to drift his 316i.But the problem is that he needs to weld his diff. he doesn't have a license so where will he go to drift?

Yeah i thought it wouldn't be too loud/ sound great and drifting won't be anything special, but i can't afford any 328i or 325i.
Know any other mods perhaps?
Lots of air in the rear tyres, get the thinnest tyres you can get on there, a good handbrake (hydro ideally) and a good clutch kick should see you drifting even in the dry.Know any other mods perhaps?
Weld the diff and drop most of the interior out.
Forget the straight pipe, just a waste of time and sounds like a tank.
Starting with a little amount of power is always a good move as you will learn techniques you will need should you choose to change for more power.
Everyone will tell you, you need a straight 6 but starting with a 4 will teach you way more than just powering.

Yeah, thanks for the advice.
I would strip it, but I'll keep that for a full on drift car.
This car is way too nice to put into a drift car, I'll weld her and if she doesn't do it, I'll annoy my dad about taking the rear/ passenger seats out, dash and all that good stuff
WEIGHT REDUCTION, BRO!
