E30 335i - The new track (drift) project

[theox69]

Sweeeet.

I'm so excited and this isn't even my car! Stoked for you man this thing is gonna be sick.

[Erick]

Because I am pretty excited, I am going to share one more teaser I left out 'til now :)



Yeah, it's happening.

[e30polak]

Fired up on the first try too :D Took a second to prime the motor and send fuel to the rail, but all in all good stuff.

There are some vacuum leaks to be addressed, and we ditched the ICV for the brake booster vacuum source since this is a B34 and we didn't want to take it all apart to drill crap.

We didnt keep it running though because the FPR is pissing fuel, turns out its shot, so off to grab one tomorrow I go.

I am also going to try and source B35 headers to use the B35 downpipes. That might help with the clearance issue I'm having.

We got the clutch bled so everything is awsome right now. Tomorrow I have to do minor stuff and start getting the car race ready (cage, extinguisher, hood pins which are a stupid requirement, etc).

The only big thing is to fix the driveshaft spline so it becomes the correct length.

Oh and the exhaust.

If we can knock that out tomorrow, I might just have time for an alignment, and maybe even for a test ride before I unleash this car at a competition. (D1GP no less, with 6 months without sliding and with a completely different car)

Fun fun fun.

I'm excited, are you? :D

So stoked for you bro. Can't wait to see footage of this beast in action! :twisted:
