My E30 LS1 Drift Car

Yes you may want to look into condor's derlin Trans mounts. First you could try to shift the baseplate towards the front of the car, if my logic is correct that would get second "seated" better.

I have sold Condor UHMV engine mounts and AKG poly 75d trans mounts, so I think I'm set there. Yeah I'm going to try moving it forward and see how that does. It's kind of odd that its only second.

Thanks for the advice !

Love it!

Care to make another one? LOL

Wish I could! I had a local guy fab this one up for me

Awesome work!

I have an s52 e30 as well and have the AKG quickshifter. I was wondering how you aligned the shifter? Was there any trick?

Mine is fine in all gears besides 2nd The car will pop out of 2nd if I go WOT from a lower RPM, if I go WOT in a higher RPM it won't pop out. I was hoping it was a matter of shifter alignment and not the transmission.

Any tips or ideas?

Thats what i was going to say, you need to have solid motor and transmission mounts for the akg setup.

If you dont, get in touch with Condor Speed Shop and they will hook you up.

Are you using old rubber mounts?
That shifter is designed for "solid" mounts since it mounted to the body now.
Granted I'm on new OEM mounts and don't have that problem, but food for thought I guess.

Finished plumbing the hydro handbrake and all I have to say is wow. Locking up the rear is effortless with this thing, especially with those hawk track pads. I'm working on a DIY right now, I'll have it posted soon, maybe even a video.

[Jezza]

Freshened up the rear brakes. Stainless lines, remanufactured calipers, new rotors, and some hawk track pads. I figure I'll keep the original calipers and rebuild them, then I can run a dual caliper set up for the hydro handbrake later down the road.

This is so inspirational! Moving to las vegas with my girlfriend this summer and were forced to move into a small 1 bedroom apartment with a shitty garage. If you can make big things happen with your e30 in your small apartment garage, so can I! lol. Awesome build so far cant wait for more updates! sub'd!

Thanks! Honestly, I would have found a way to do this even if I didn't have a garage! You should be seeing this thing at some vegas proam events so stay tuned!

Specs on the steering wheel setup??

It's an NRG short hub adapter and NRG deep dish wheel. Feels pretty much amazing.
