thanks! I have already drifted it once at the last round of Lone Star Drift a few weeks back. Was my first event, so still need a lot of practice, but still had an awesome time and my wife and I are hooked.

Here's how I rolled to the last event, hence why I need something better.

I still don't understand how you drive the shit out of this car and keep it so nice at the same time. Blows my mind.

Oh...sorry they are 17's

Looks great Ben! I like the way it sits on those style 5s.

Anything new? Been visiting this thread for a while now as it inspires my build. Do you ever miss the rear seats or not at all? That's my battle...

Only new is the new wheels and 2 tires below. Going to be swapping in a metal impeller water pump, as its not cooling very well. I don't miss the rear seats at all. I think they only got used twice during the few months they were in there. However, I also have a sedan and crew-cab truck that will fit 6, so I just drive those if more than one passenger.

One of my xmas presents from my wife was a set of 16x8 OZ Monte Carlo in e36 spec. My friend Clay found them on ebay and I was able to steal them by being the only bidder. I think they'll be great drift wheels for next year.

Currently I'm thinking of painting them BMW Technoviolet. Plenty flashy for on the track, but still somewhat tasteful.



Test fit:


Picked up a couple of 205/50/16s with decent tread for $40. Still looking for another pair:


Found a car running exact same specs 16x8et15 with similar wheel:
