Yeah exactly, you can still have a functional and well performing stylish car. Stylish doesn't have to mean slammed to the ground with no suspension travel, you can have a low but functional ride height combined with good performance
Yeah, my heart's usually around general functional street style, I like things to be as nice as I can make em, I'll shed unnecessary weight without torturing self or passengers or gutting things, (Which often means AC delete but keeping sound system, etc,) but no slamming. :)
I'm all about Style, Had my e36 sedan like that also, With A/C. depending on the rims I'm rocking. I could have -6 camber in the front or -4. The Rear would be -2.8 with ground control extended tierods/bushings/end links/camber plates and turner swaybars. Loved it, I was able to kick it out with no problem. I had no worry about getting stuck or anything, Winter was so much fun, I did more plowing than the snowplows here.
vaping Ricer not all of them do... if you’ve driven in a pro am/fd spec drift car, most are INCREDIBLY gripped up. All the lower hp cars are the ones that are “ice skate-y” in my experience. They don’t have the power to spin a grippy setup and need less grip to properly slide

@@LoneStarDrift Yes Sir, check my Drift Colorado round 1 video, I run 225/45/17 and 215/40/17 with a 3.91 diff, RK Tuned, M50 manifold, BBTB, 3" exhaust. I run our full pro-am track in 3rd, never lift, keep it pinned to win.

Cool to see these USDM e36s. Werid seeing the steering wheel on the "wrong" side compared to our UKDM 36s Most of the 36 practice cars here run as low or lower than the "style" car.

Keep the cool videos coming! Edit... What the hell does the "style car" owner do for a living? If a us pro am car costs that much to own and run AND he has an M3 engined E36 "practice car"!? He looks really young as well!
Adam Bainbridge I think Collin is like 17. I’ve talked to his dad before and they’re super cool people. Collin saved his own money to buy a bone stock 318i when he was 13 or 14, and that same car has since been developed to become a 700whp full-blown race car… or something like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@kurzjames bloody hell. How did he save up money at that age 😂 I got £15 a week doing a paper round. Would have taken me years to save up for an E36 lol
I would say that this is not an m52 in the red one.. its more likely an m50 with technical upgrade aka vanos.. probably the best one of m5x series. Oil cap and intake manifold makes it to recognize between them two, m50 has an oil cap closer to firewall while m52 has it closer to vanos unit.
My 2004 mustang is a drift missile but it has some exterior mods to look decent but nothing I'd be upset about being damaged plus I hate washing cars so a missile is good for that lol
How do you guys drive to get like a weekend on 10 tires on a 600 wheel car? I just ran my 350 crank e46 for 3 days and used 28 tires, and could easily have used more.
Due to my currently insufficient cooling i run quite a bit of cooldown, but the track i run on also has long 3rd gear corners ( could easily be 4th. if i had the power) so i'm not using tires unusually fast among the people there. I run 3 bar preassure normally, have also tried 2,5 and 4, usually kills them in 10-15 minutes anyways.
It comes down to track design, and lots of other factors. But with Mike, he normally doesn't do a lot of laps. I typically get about 100 a weekend on like 8 tires regardless of the car I am in. My tire wear comes down to the track designs I make and the type of throttle commitment I use, which isn't a lot most of the time. I just use the amount needed and not anything more.
@@LoneStarDrift My "home track" of Rudskogen (of Gatebil fame) likes a little more power than i have so basicly i have to keep it pinned to make it around the large corners, especially with the extra angle. I have a sneaking suspicion that the kind of parking lot events that you guys have a lot of (that is not possible here due to boring laws) both have a significantly lower speed and often less grippy surface.
Guys in Japan run preety much stock engines with bolt ons (300-400hp) and cool body kits, so a 200hp bmw with some cheap steering mods lowered on some cool wheels is a great way to start. I have an m20 e34 that is waiting for an engine swap (m50b25) and that is only because the car has a clean body and 130hp on a 1.5 ton car is simply not fun enough for me (you can drift, but it's not realy exciting), but i could pull something off with an m50 with simple engine mods. but i don't drive on the events because I'm not interested in competitions and stuff (and there are no other events where i live) so for a touge car it's fun, it's cheap, it's easy and you don't need to go over the top if you only want to have fun. Don't over think it, just do it
525 m50 rocks man. I run a 540. Have had 525s as missile cars and they are amazing. A little unforgiving due to their limited angle and weight but fun as hell.
@@Fille3133 my brother has e30 m50 so i know what kind of power m50 delivers and its a great engine, i know e30s are way lighter but on the touge after 4k rpm it's kinda scary lol so i think i could push the e34 around the corner no problem :) I tought about m60 swap (it's a little more expensive) but where I live it's kinda hard to find parts for that engine
"Does have air conditioning" k sold. The clip of the m3 in tandem with the z33 was like a Cadillac floating vs a honda revving at your moms camry with the way the z was getting on and off throttle lmfao.
Yeah that becomes like the CD09 life, where on 3rd gear tracks you are banging limiter on 4th lol, and 1st and second become almost useless in drift! In my CD09 S13 with an SR I was having to shift to 5th sometimes in drift on big road courses mid corner to not run out of wheel speed, and that is a hard shift to make lol. I am completely not used to it!

Missile because i wanna drift non stop and get better then i would build a nice Clean car but still engwise stock and After some Progress Pro car
I miss the days when drifting was about style and technique. Now it's a horsepower/smoke war and the cars handle like you said "ice skating"
