No one got any of me moving. There is an in car video or two but it is still being uploaded.

Thanks Jordan!







I should probably give back story. This was summit point (6/20) and I signed up for drift 101 (lol). The main point was to make sure the motor was solid, didn't leak, and wouldn't blow up when driven hard. I scrambled to get the car ready but didn't have time for a decent alignment. Lots of other non motor related problems but the motor held strong. I do have overheating problems thanks to the stock M20 clutch fan and 325i radiator but those are near future upgrades. I'm happy with the motor but I have work to do to the rest of the car.

Big ups to Erick for getting me the steering rack spacers. I doubt they helped but it will in the near future.

Lol sweet hood notch.

[shiboujin]

haha thanks. I used to regret doing it but it caught so many eyes and had people stopping by to ask about the car when i was sitting in the paddock after my runs.

Nice. Got a dyno graph? Numbers, weight, suspension, chassis, brakes?

[shiboujin]

Pretty good, but your wheel fitment sucks. :( Hard to believe those are +25.

[BTP325ic]

-20

[shiboujin]

Actually, those aren't the rims on my mods list. they are some enkeis my brother had. With the tie rod spacers i put in and the sheer size of the tires they rub on the side of the fender well. I have some THR cabs going in soon that should push the wheel forward enough to run them.

those enkeis suck and the penero zeros on them had so little grip it wasn't funny.

that shit sounds like fun..... unsprung clutch ftw

[shiboujin]

Surprisingly, I could daily that clutch. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting.. maybe I installed it wrong?

[e30slut]

they do tend to make them seem like they're just horrible daily driving clutches. It's not the feel that they are bitchin about, its the fact of how fast thet clutch will burn up trying to daily it...

[shiboujin]

Precursor, It makes me really really sad that I can drift other ppls cars better than mine. I partially blame myself as a driver and partially myself as a mechanic (the sway bar problem and shitty alignment). Basically I blame myself all around. I suxors...

The good tho, Whenever you hear my shift out of second I'm doing 60+mph. Note how fast my car gets there even with wheel spin between gears. Also my exhaust sounds AWESOME when I'm not redlining it.

On to the sucking...

Odd switchback behavior from 1:08-1:15. I'm 100% off of every pedal and the wheel.

Thanks sach for taking video. I owe you a BJ

[aschroeder92]

[MR 325]

[ubernasty]

edit: wtf yoshi? are those 3 vid's being serious? i hope you uploaded the 3 worst runs of the event... i seriously thought you could actually drift from the talk and yada yada comments that you always leave on forums. (not hating just asking, what's up man)
