What a nutter Craig is, feeding TIG wire in from 6 inches away with plaggy gloves on!!! Beautiful work though, would be really interesting to get an insight into some in depth fabrication stuff with Craig on a video at some point.
Driftworks' builds always make me regret my career choice lol. I will admit i'm usually not a fan of the DTM style exhaust tip because of the amount of rough E30's on the road but it suits that car perfectly. Sounds fabulous aswell, great team behind you too the craftsmanship is top notch. Cant wait to see more.
I just had a thought rob ferreti and LG motorsports are bringing over there custom built corvettes to try and get a few records and show us Europeans how it’s done and set a open challenge to anyone who wanted to turn up about the same time, Might be a good benchmark
Any worries of the exhaust messing up the paint directly over the tips? I highly doubt this'll be spitting any flames, but the heat might still do it considering the tips are angled towards the bumper?
Ahh I think I understand. You mean the 'slash cut' made it 90* to the road I think. I thought about that. I was about 3 seconds from the chop saw with the uncut exhaust tip, and thought better of it.
Driftworks that’s what i meant, 90* to the road. Such a crap description I gave haha! I think it makes the back end look a bit cleaner, the exhaust tips being level with the rear bumper. Still looks cool, nice to see someone trying something different!
I don't know much about rotary, but general experience says wider would be better yeah. You've got to be careful with noise on an NA rotary though obviously.
Regarding the exhaust and NA discussion. It's not the exhaust per say that matters that much, but rather the headers/manifold - That's where you make it or break it. Everything after that isnt as important.
Haha, I haven't watched this for a while, but I'm guessing you are missing something. I also own an RHS LSX on ITBs with Tony Mamo valve train. It sounds like a rotary on idle.

Thurmomax in Germany make that we have it on all our heat shields for our big diesel engines ... very good stuff
👍

Sounds like a 325 sport of old.. looking forward to some proper loud pedal.. excellent work as always
The e30 m3 is my all time favourite car this one is superb and only gets better with every instalment well done to all you guys

Welding warning had me crying 😂
haha same here!! :D
Not complaining but you should really have a warning when sanding or cutting so we dont get metal in our eyes!
@Rudy Armani shut up bot
@Oliver Westley oh look another bot
Mega series!!! loved watching the build.
Beautiful, waiting for the test drive already! Keep the videos coming
S62 is such a great sounding V8! Reminds me of a V8 S14! Looking forward to the mapping video and full chat.
Its an s65, the s62 comes in e39 m5, they are using the one from e9x m3.
Sounds great! E30 goals!!
Never expected it to be this good 😍
Awesome e30 M3 build ^^ god work =)
The unbaffled corolla and unbaffled V8’s still sound nicer than any NA VQ ever. And that’s not even up for debate.
I think an unbaffled VQ is literally the worst sound on the planet!
Or an unbaffled SR?
Nah, that sounds bad, but nothing like a VQ
Straight piped VQs are the shittest sound on the planet. Absolutely the worst. Like an Elephant taking a runny poo down a trumpet.
gotta do a raw aluminium riveted on heat shield on the bumper surrounding the tips...
How does it feel being responsible for that chaps Arc eye through his screen? ahha
DW30 sounds and looks amazing, top work by craig
Side pipes ftw
Looks awesome aannnnnndddd I don't wanna sound like I'm complaining but when u use an old outro please tell us before hand
#MAKEPHILDRIFTAGAIN!
10:59 proof Craig loves to be low with mad negative camber...
Shouldnt have gone with the pointed up tips. Nice welding though.

It's got a protective plate now.
Driftworks Those protective plates look sooo good, glad to hear it!
Hate to be “that guy” but the exhaust tips of the dtms of old were at 90* to the floor, that is to say they had a oval cross section.
Completely upright? The only ones I know of are a lot longer than this with a sharp 40ish degree upswept tip.

Dtm upswept, couldn't of picked a better exhaust style for an e30! I think quad tips / e92 style just wouldn't of looked nice!
Thanks! Yeah it was worth all the fabrication work. It looks and sounds perfect to me.
Mmm... that chop 😋
It’s very rare I look forward to a TH-cam video but I’m actually excited to hear this thing at full chat, gonna sound like Satan screaming
Awesome
impressed
TVR! I love this car! Is that Griffith or Chimaera?
Tamora with a 7L LS.....
Hello,
Please tell me where you bought all the heat shield products from ?
Thanks

So with a na rotary would it be better to have a wider exhaust or not?
I don't know much about rotary, but general experience says wider would be better yeah. You've got to be careful with noise on an NA rotary though obviously.
Driftworks yea it seems really loud already :/
Regarding the exhaust and NA discussion. It's not the exhaust per say that matters that much, but rather the headers/manifold - That's where you make it or break it. Everything after that isnt as important.
Yep, if I had the space I would have done 8-1 longtube.
That would indeed make both some nice noise and power. Im guessing stock aint that bad tho.
1 Fast Boi
I have been hunting high and low for someone local to do some exhaust work on my supercharged 370z
Is Craig open to local work or is he a closed shop
He does local work yeah.
@@driftworks awsome thank you
I'll pop down and see him 👍
And Lada 1200
Watched this whole video in my welding mask
Safety first!
Not had a skid car for a while but loving the channel, only one I watch ever vid. _adrianmay
🚙🎼💨♥️
Build a Honda s2000 And Lada 2105
No and no :D
I'm not complaining but I just want to complain about you welding and not warning me not to look. Wtf lmao
I was going to sub until you guys started talking shit about choppy v8s. Who doesn’t like an engine with an aggressive camshaft??
Haha, I haven't watched this for a while, but I'm guessing you are missing something. I also own an RHS LSX on ITBs with Tony Mamo valve train. It sounds like a rotary on idle.
Hoonigans shitcar sounds better... Lol
