E30 vert driftcar build...Motor swap, gussets, japanese crap, and overall stupidity

[ill roller]

Then I hit up a drift day for a little shakedown of the car:

And then I got front and rear lips... Need to get them painted though.



Picked up a Nardi to replace the momo wheel which I sold:




A few shots I snapped in a buddy's garage:

Other than that, just been having a good time with the car and trying enjoy it all I can before winter and work out the little bugs so it can be ready to go for next season.

Love this car man, shown it to a bunch of friends who all thought it was fantastic.

Also that garage.. Do want.

[aLaFleur]

That garage... Are you kidding me? Damn...

Anyways, sick build man. I love it.

these last pics are the sex!!

looks like you enjoy the hell out of that vert!

[P78]

yes!

Looks like you're out there going hard in the paint like Bob Ross. I approve, carry on.

One of my favorite builds out there (other would be RoyalT's LS 350z). This just has the perfect combination of aggression, ability and style! But the best part may just be the fact that you're getting out there and enjoying the car! If my e36 vert achieves a fraction of this car's awesomeness, i'll be happy.

Dear OP:


I WANT YOUR LIFE.

Drifting with a wooden steering wheel? I tried that once, but got kinda dangerous with sweaty hands. Love the vert, even if it has a japanese heart.

I wear gloves when drifting usually, the main problem with drifting on a wooden wheel is that it's just hard all around. It's tough to throw and hold the wheel in general... That's why I have a personal neo grinta suede wheel for the track.

im waiting to get my e30 vert back with a rollbar right now
