  • japan red e46 compact

    Hi, been a little while since ive posted but I sold my e34 and bought this, it was a 316ti compact slow as balls sensible sounding car when I got it, it was already on coils and clubsports when I got it, anyways now it has a 328 engine swapped in running a remap to 230bhp (according to the remap company) still running the 316 diff so it accelerates pretty good, Open diff for now but soon to be welded, my hydraulic handbrake came in the post today.

    The style 5's are genuine but the whole wheel is painted because when I got them they were in a terrible state and I could not afford to get them split and professionally refurbed but I like how they look in this colour anyway. they are for sale though if anyone is interested due to the soon to be drift orientation of the car.

    Here it is as of yesterday when we were delivering my dads e30 to its new owner




    I ran iroc z wheels on the back for a short while as I ran of of tyre on the style 5's but back on matching wheels now as you can see



    Plans are to drift the thing and get half decent at it hopefully, While everyone hates e46 compacts I actually really like it so Im gonna keep building this for a while, that is all for now

    I didn't even know these existed, but this thing is pretty cool. Do they all have those strange headlights?

        Cool so far, any plans to swap to a normal front end? I loved the compacts but the front end never grew on me, always wondered how'd they'd look with a stock or mt2 front end.

        Looking forward to more either way!

          I did look at that but its completely different apparently so its probably too much hassle considering its probably going to end up in a wall sooner or later

            There is one in Poland with E46 M3 swapped front end and rear quarters as overfenders, looks pretty good imo. https://www.facebook.com/Compi.Drifting/
