85 325e soon to be drifter

[2gBoostin]

So, I hear this is the place to go for e30 info and whatnot. Didn't see an intro section so here it goes.

Got a 1985 325e. Of course with the 2.7l I6 and 5 speed transmission. Car shows 25x,xxxmi. Interior is 99% stripped to "lighten" the car for drifting.

I didn't pay much for it and am having some power issues. The fuel pump stays on when the key is on and no power to the injectors. This will hopefully be resolved soon. Any suggestions or advice appreciated. Just ordered a reference (pulse) sensor and picking up a new dme.

Anyway, once its running and driving, I'll be doing a bumper tuck, welding the diff, and a half-a$$ paint job.

Here's a pic of my beater soon to be drifter!

dat tire :F
good luck, give dat wall a love tap fo me.

[2gBoostin]

Will do. Maybe I'll use the wall tap to tuck in the rear bumper! :D

[dougie30]

put a s50 in it and spin it around in circles

[2gBoostin]

That's a just a little out of my price range. Right now my budget goes as far as to get it running, which seems like its going to be costly and time consuming. :(

[2gBoostin]

I'm 6'2", 245lbs. Me and Miatas don't mix. Lmao

Hopefully you get it running man! Thanks for the carpet again haha

[2gBoostin]

Glad it's going to good use. The rest is getting ready to go into a burn pile. Car will hopefully be running within a week or so.

Just strip the bumpers if your going drifter, saves like 20lbs.

[2gBoostin]

You realize how goofy it'd look if I just took the bumpers off? LOL.

See image-

i like it. hope you do it justice and slide it well

[2gBoostin]

I hope I do too. Anyone need the bumper molding?

[beedeezy]

Goofy? It's a drift car, it's supposed to look like it might fall to pieces.

[2gBoostin]

LMAO. Can't argue that!
