E30 Drifting Questions...

Yeah, what psloan said.

I forgot to mention - run a compression check on your current motor. If your rings are really worn and you have low compression it would be perfect for a turbo. You don't have to go all out like I did.

M30 swap

You should run sportmax wheels. Very unique. Also chuck in an m10 with an early 1600 crank to make 1.6L. Convert your brakes to rear drums and solid front rotors. Ditch all that EFI garbage and run a single barrel solex carb. Slam it on some ballin tokiko shocks and sprangs. I'm also running a 2.9 LSD. when I have the carb setup right I can run low 13s.

This is what I did - and it's very trackable.

So you have actually never "drifted" on a track?

Alright, well I bought an E30 a couple of weeks ago, no wheels, clutch problems etc etc. I bought it mainly for the purpose to drift it. It's a 3.25i LSD, 4 door that I picked up for $350 from a friend. The title is still getting straightened out because the 4 people who bought it before me kept signing over the same title without turning it into the DMV. Well with this being said, I was debating if I was going to go all track or street legal with some track use.

Well here's my question and I know a couple of you drift already. What mods do you have for power, what wheel size do you have, and is it worth it?

Many of my friends drift on the track, and I've always wanted to go watch. When I went on Sunday to watch it seemed like everyone there (S14, S13, AE86, Miatas, Supras were the main bunch of cars) had a lot of power to throw down on the track.

Should I just do a S50 swap? Or should I just modify this car?

Thanks for looking.
