Id get an e36, honestly. The wheel base is longer and is imo a way beter drift car.

I'd put in new diff fluid, and I'd maybe check to make sure the e brake is working good. Also check to make sure your fans are working good.

Also rear shock mounts. it would suck to sit out for something so stupid

did that a while ago. im in the process of replacing all the driveline parts that wear out: clutch, guibo, tranny mounts, rear sub mounts, etc. plus brake lines, pads, rotors oh and hopefully an e36 m3 rack if i make enough $$

god damn got any pics of that? how big was that hole?

No pics, and if it was a hole I'm pretty sure it would have leaked out no matter what...

It was a crack, so I guess when the engine was running enough oil was pulled out of the pan to not push any out.

There was a chunk of metal in the road, it was huge, and I had nowhere to go. It lifted the car enough that the tires chirped (I was under heavy braking).

I cracked my oil pan during a "lunch break cruise" before a college class years ago, for some reason it only leaked oil when the engine was shut off (at which point it poured pretty good). It was finals for that class, so I let the car running right outside the classroom window for an hour and drove 1.5 hours home, left it running 4 hours while I covered it with jb weld and it dried. It's been that way ever since, without leaking a drop.

Sorry, I guess this thread isn't story time, that post just reminded me...

^LOL

You couldn't do that now, it'd be cheaper to dump the oil and refill instead of idling for hours;)

I've cracked pans on the baffeled side and made it home in the winter, only to fine a puddle of oil in the morning. Ice chunks on the road FTL.

Don't forget the 500mph tape...

Just bring the same things you would to a normal track day, thats really all it is. You may want to consider more spare rubber however.
