Well I have been pretty short on cash lately so no recent recorded hoonage, but I am planning on going up and watching the redline time attack event that is being run about 30 mins west of where I live. It will be held at the carolina motorsports complex. So far I have driven by the track never actually been to the facility. It looks like a really nice place and I just want to go out and watch some built time attack monsters go at it. Plus I have nothing better to do that day.
There is a drift event this sunday as well in charlotte and well I don't have the cash or the will power to get my car ready to go drive. I should still be going up there to watch/network/instruct and such whatever ratio of each ends up happening.
also I realized that I never posted a breakdown of what has been done to the car so far so I'll try to make a list since I get asked all the time

How easy would you say it is to drift a nearly stock e36 m3. Im looking to buy a daily driver/ drifter but i would rather not join the 240sx/ae86 regular drift car club just yet. Any tips/advice ?
ReplyDeletethey are pretty easy to drift stock, M3's have good power and they come factory with an LSD. The only thing I would do with a stock one would be remove the limiters on the tie rods that reduce the amount of steering lock you have. Its a real simple job too and it doesn't cost anything.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your car. Maybe in a video or photo album posted here. =)
