    Hi all, new to this site, never drifted properly before apart from a few years ago where I had a play in the car park. Anyway just purchased myself an e36 1.8i. Plan is to try and find a half decent lsd diff, a cheap bucket seat and try and reduce the rear end weight and buy a few spare steel wheels :) can't wait to get started so prepare to be bombarded with daft questions :) cheers
