Questions for E30 drifters

[Highway1]

Yeah, but e30s don't need that as they can be set to lock or not lock from factory :)

[agustingig]

Im running a m50nv with lowtec stiff dampers, i have cut m3springs in the front and some pos lowtec springs in the rear, springs are next on the list, im runing a welded 3.91 diff gives me like 85kmh in second gear, rarely have to use 3rd gear on the track we have here in iceland... Stiffer springs are deffinitely on the list, and a widermtrack in the front,, overall pretty good learners setup, although it deff needs less bodyroll :D





Cheers

perfect e30 drift car shopping list:

1x e30
1x 1jz
1x microtec
1x w58 gearbox
1x hsd front weld on sleeves for the front(like gc)
1x r32 front coilovers with custom made top bushings.
1x 2 months long nights and unforgetable memories!
1x alot of dramas and headache!

this is what we did when i sold my e30 1jz package to a mate(im going m30b35)
we made 400.6rwhp it went like all hell and skidded like a boss brakes didnt exist and steering was shit. best time of our lifes!
please note 10kg front springs and 8kilo rear there was no fuel tank or spare wheel well. it was fully stripped out with re wired car!

unscrew the thumb button, remove spring, screw thumb button back on.

Same philosophy as the aluminium "drift buttons", they're just "cool" because they're anodized.

[accident]

in theory it's also easier to lock it as well since they have the lip on them.

Here is my setup

M42 with chip and ford injectors
Welded 4.10 diff
IE springs
Billy sports
IE Big Sways
IE Poly subframe and trailing arm bushings
M3 control arm bushings
e36 steering rack

my alignment:
Front: 0 toe 1.6 camber
Rear: 0 toe 1.2 camber


I need more power but for now it works. I want to add spacers on the tie rods for more angle but my rims (17x7.5 et20) are hitting the sway-bar at full lock so i need some spacers first. also something needs to be done about my crappy ebrake. Adjustment? new shoes? hydraulic? something...

[JakeP]

New shoes and adjustment should make a world of difference. Make sure the tension is equal side to side. A hydro brake (cutting brake) also does great. Drift hard and long enough using that ebrake and the handle will break though. ask me how I know. :p

New shoes should work, I have 0 problem locking mine up at the skidpad. I'm solving the power issue with a little Eaton, hopefully. :)

Contact patch width does not equal rim width, unless you live in stretch land. Also, higher end tires tend to recess at the bead allowing you to run wider tires on a narrower wheel. My Khumo 711's are this way, as are the Bridgestone RE-11's in my basement.

M Roadsters came with 7.5" wide fronts with 225s, 8.5" rears with 245s.

Stop doing coke.

Rears are 9s sir.

[KennyT]

Rears are 9s sir.

Fronts must be 8's then. Did wheels change other than finish in the s52 to s54 Roadsters?
