no way, the first day it everworked was the coolest before bon went gay and starting hanging razzle dazzle off of it, look for pictures of it at ukd1 2005 erm round1 or 2 the one at snetterton anyway. like some sort of evil touring car, and it sounded perfect..

Stavros · 30-04-2007, 16:12

Mattyboi · 30-04-2007, 16:16

Nick · 30-04-2007, 16:17

Even kept it on the grass for maximum photographic effect - that was the reason, right??

Definitely cooler than any 3 grand S13

BDriftMW · 30-04-2007, 17:20

I remember bon's car at rosegreen in 2005, mad car, he had some trouble with a spark plug and wanted a loan of one from a M3 in the car park, the owner didnt think it was a great idea

BDriftMW · 30-04-2007, 17:22

euro cars are capable, at rd1 of prodrift on sunday a mkII escort came in second place after erics S2k AE86

Spoonman · 30-04-2007, 17:47

Think I'll deffinately try to get at least a 325i, maybe an M3 if I get a lucky find. Love the BMW in those pics. Nice

JacobPhoto · 01-05-2007, 12:54

ironically, I just got some event coverage from Poland this week... 10/16 cars in tandem were BMW's... 5 nissans, and 1 Lexus were also in the mix.

Also, Harri from Ter-tech.com in Florida has built several BMW drift cars that are pretty capable.

Spoonman · 01-05-2007, 14:17

Nice, hope that trend comes here

**Bon Bon** · 01-05-2007, 15:36

Yeah E34 turbo I recall

MJG · 01-05-2007, 17:16

A lot of MazdaChris' post I agree with, and Bon's about turbo = easy power.

In my opinion though, most of the people into Drifting have gotten into it through liking or at least researching Japanese cars. The people who have been into it for over a year or so anyway as nowadays it is being posted up in loads of magazines and in fast and furious/need for speed etc. This interest for Japanese cars therefore transforms into people drifting japanese cars as they like them.

I don't think any car should be actively encouraged, just let people use their own brains? If everyone buys 200sx then it means their prices go up and BMW prices stay down for me mwuaaahah.

Walton Smith was also out last weekend in his e34 550i V12 and he was very competitive

Spoonman · 02-05-2007, 10:38

When I come to sell my Mercedes C180 W202 I put it on the cars for sale here, think someone would be interested in turning it into a drift car? It would need the diff welding, handbrake changed to hand operated (foot operated atm) and new coilovers. But there are certain things that are in its favour, numerous brake kits to choose from, fairly simple engine that probably could be tuned well by someone who knows what theyre doing. It would need a lot of work but is someone likely to be interested in drifting it? For me as a beginner it needs too much work for me to convert it, but its rwd, front engined, fairly long wheelbase, I think it would make a good drift car in the hands of someone who knows what theyre doing.

note: its not for sale atm, but I probably will sell it before the end of the year.

Stavros · 02-05-2007, 10:52

Relativley expensive 1500kg car with a 1.8 n/a engine? Awesome potential drift car

Spoonman · 02-05-2007, 10:59

Not necesarily expensive, its a 93 so I'd be very lucky to get £1500 for it.

BDriftMW · 02-05-2007, 11:09

Mercedes will never make good drift cars, they are luxury cars. maybe an SLK 55 AMG, but thats about 20k
