  • E36 smashenwagen

    So a little while ago, I got a pretty decent 325is from Jaz.
    M3 bumper and skirts, lowering springs, Tanabe muffler, Vaders etc



    Found a pair of Transam GTA mesh, and a set of Riken mesh that matched perfectly but with a slightly smaller lip


    And now it starts getting ugly. I've got a problem with making cars obnoxious and sliding them around aggressively.
    Headers and straight pipe



    Then I replaced the LSD with a welded diff, sold the interior and got some Bride fixed back buckets.

    The results were loud and fun.

    Then for some reason, the subframe fell off.


    Wasn't sure if I should fix it or re-shell at this point, but it was worth a try


    Got it all fixed up with extra 1/8" plate welded in on the interior side too, sent it for an alignment and it drove great!





    Next on the agenda was to get some cheapo coilovers on there to stiffen things up. And make it eat floor.



    Notice the front fender is a bit chewed up from some dude backing up into it. He gave me some cash to fix it so.... I pocketed the cash, took the fender off and hammered it out, sprayed it with some black paint and put it back on. Thanks pal!

    Took it for another drift day, qualified in the top 16 and smashed the rear quater into a wall during practice before the comp. I busted a GTA rim, bent a bunch of stuff, and exploded the axle shaft.


    Fixed everything up and put it on some crazy oldskool looking Riken 5spokes with good offset


    I took it to a drift day again this weekend and the car performed great, I'll post up media footage as it surfaces.

    Here's how she stands now. I had to raise the front about 20mm because the tire was binding up real bad on the fender coming out of the main bank at western, and causing the car to be weird








    Plans are - turbo.

      rikens 16x9.5?
      Hatchbacks, wagons... It's NOT all the same. You want in? Don't get a mazda 3, get a mazda 6 wagon. Don't get a wrx get a legacy wagon. and theres a reason the A3 isn't called the A3 avant... Scion does not make a wagon it makes a weird van, but no wagons

      Sincerely,

      P.S. Is your tail a wagon?

      Show cars are lame.

        Nah they are something weak like 16x7.5. And Transam GTA rims are 16x8.
