Drift Day pictures

[onenicebimmer]

This past Saturday TractionOptional.com held their 4 drift day in the regional airport of Walnut Ridge, AR. This was my 3rd drift day, and I had a blast!
For the first time, I was doing 3rd gear entrys. I wish I would have started doing them earlier, because it was way easier to hold a good drift (i was carying more speed, getting more angle, better transitions, and more smoke :P ).
Here are the pics, enjoy:

No lack of lighting on that e30.

what suspension are you running?

[Erick]

That's awsome dude. Glad to see another e30 rocking out sideways. I am also interested in knowing what modifications you've done to your car suspension wise. That looks like very minimal body roll there.

e30 gangsta:
I thought about it, but I plan on changing cars in the near future and that doesn't seam like a very good investment. With my chip/exhaust my car is making 120 HP and 152 ft. lbs. of torque at the rear wheels in between 3 through about 4.5K rpm (about 50-60 mph), and in 3rd gear that seems to be pretty nice.
Alex:
I wish that I could afford that, but like every other E30 owner thats about 1K over me.

SchnellerVert:
I'm just trying to be Euro. I actually picked those lights up in Germany 4 years ago, and now that I have a car, decided to put them on. They're pretty usefull for late night twisties...

SLEEPERracer and rwdrift:

I'm running Ground Controls with 450/600 springs, KONI SA shocks, replaced all worn bushings/joints. I also have G/C RSM. I love the suspension. The only thing that I should probably get are camber plated for the front.

i still say u get a i head cause ur car is already slide happy!

Nice pics... looks like some fun sliding. Your car looks great except for the coughexhaustcough.

I think that's my old M3 in the first picture... have anymore pics with the silver m3 in it?

[sticksdaman]

[hamann318is]

Thats my friendsStevens M3. If I remember right he bought it about two years ago, or so, on the east coast (I think NC). It was fully rebuilt with tons of pictures. He got off of Roadfly.

ps: He has washed it a TOTAL of 2 times since he's owned it :)

edit: another pic from Drift Day1
