Hi All I am from South Africa and while sitting outside my hut looking at my pet giraffe, I decided to capture my build thread on this fantastic site I have always been a Honda vtec fan but now its time to move on and I got myself a really rough E36 325i M50 non Vanos manual Plan are: for a road legal drift car for me to drive to events. I already have a daily so this is my toy Stripped out interior All creature comforts removed Some comy buckets Lexan windows Modded hubs BC Coil overs and more. Specs so Far: Ricer Parts - Fun Goodies Wink 5 Part panaramic mirror 5" Tacho Tear Drop Side Mirrors Momo Suede Drift Steering Wheel Hydro Hand Brake Cone Filter Suspension Rack Spacers Camber Washers kit Time for pics...
Sunroof Repair Some Dyno Tuning, with a major exhaust leak and leaky cylinder head Ordered Some Ricer Parts soon to be installed...
Haha thanks I just need the car insurance to be finalized so I can start with some mods. I am also selling my ek civic for extra funds on this missile project
I was going to keep my block and use the 330i internals with headwork and lightned stuff the full works for NA basically and possibly turbo at a later stage Upon research it would be cheaper for me to take it to a shop and do a 1uzfe vvti v8 conversion or a 1jz, as parts for these cars are crazy expensive here I am currently looking for a 3.91 diff from an auto 323i/325i/328i so I really do not want to spend on mods on this motor as maybe I might put a side pipe to save weight
ricer parts arriving Wink Rally style mirror Since my mirrors are damaged, instead of going oem I decided for cheapo replacements and they lighter too More ricer/reacer parts to come if only this south african post office wasnt so useless
short rip vcid before the filter was installed excuse the bad footage lol, was getting chased by as lion
I am so pissed the bushings are the wrong ones !!!! FFS sent them back for my mate to sort out they should be here by the end of the month So my build is on hold till I get these and I am going on leave in the middle of September so my new parts will have to be installed in beging of october But on the upside these came today, they look great, build quality seems to be good BC BR-RA Full Coil Overs 32 way adjustable Tip : If want to have a race car while being married, get the wife involved in the build lol
