    Hello,

    Np Team is a drift team from Lithuania and we think that it would be interesting to share our garage projects and drift builds.


    These are our last season cars that had performed especially well considering the fact that they were built on a really low budget :)

    Interior view. Lots of work with rear radiator mounting and diffusor, seat mountings all safety equipement mountings
    [​IMG]
    Modifying the cooling system. It was very importat to keep a good car balance, so we pushed everything back. Also it's really good not to have any damagable parts in front of the car :)
    When the radiator was placed the water pipes were led through the passangers side

    Painting time!

    Thanks!

    Yes, the internals are standard on the Z3 but they easily can hold up to 600hp.

    This weekend we participated in the Eastern European Drift Championship..
    Really glad that our drivers had the guts to drift at 105mph downhill in Nemunring Lithuania!

    By the way, the 325 e46 ended up 6th in the competition

    Here's some pics:

    Keep drifting fun was our last weekend goal. Over 80 tyres burned during local drift training, 2 diffs overheated :D
    Also the e36 is drifted by 16 year old.

    Nice projects. How does the rear mount radiator works, do you use electric water pump or stock one?
