hey guys, i’m that kid that goes to all the lvd meets dying to be drifting something. i haven’t posted or been on here in while so i thought i’d stop by: i have a 1988 E30 i picked up for $260 (i have a thread somewhere on it) but basically what’s happening is it’s getting a cheap turbo kit, lowered a bit, and HOPEFULLY some drifting and track days at limerock and (maybe) watkins glen. now, my 3000gt (vr4) is limping along on what seems to be a blown turbo, so that’ll get pulled later this week some pics and whatnot. but today i met up with another forum user ollie, who let me try on his works off his infiniti. after testing on some really awesome wheels, i decided to put the car on jackstands (since it’ll be torn apart for a while), sell my stock struts with lowering springs and start saving for some wheels (maybe by next summer). my goal is a feature… sorry some of the pics are crappy, it was getting dark. ollie has some better ones for me \*cough \*cough haha [![http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6226/6385696633_e7615e8d1d_z.jpg](http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6226/6385696633_e7615e8d1d_z.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/37554084@N08/6385696633/) [DSC\_5662](http://www.flickr.com/photos/37554084@N08/6385696633/) by [P.J.

my dream is to drift one of these, but the transfer case wasn’t designed for all that power to the rear wheels only. it’s basically a fwd tranny with a transfer case running a driveshaft to the back haha it’s weakkkkkk. and the steering rack/rear crossmember (in the engine bay) wasn’t designed for a normal tranny running back, so an ls1/2jz/rb26 swap would be super difficult. and thanks for the back up ollie haha ---

Vt,s are built for a reason . I just think dropping it and taking away from the setup is dumb . It’s not mine so he can do as he pleases but if he is looking for a slammed drifted he is in the wrong platform . Ya can’t disagree with that ---

It’s not mine so he can do as he pleases but if he is looking for a slammed drifted he is in the wrong platform . Ya can’t disagree with that i’m not trying to pull some hipster drifting look… i’m going lower on a real set of coilovers and maybe acquire some awesome stance in the process too… i have too much heart and money into this car to drive it like a jackass bro, and if i “take away” from my setup, then all the more reason to not beat it into the ground and keep it show-car status haha the transmission in these cars are weak, and parts are very expensive and hard to come by. yes i had help from my dad with the initial restoration but if i fuck it up doing something stupid in it there is no chance he’ll help me out. that’s why i’d rather save that kinda stuff for my $260 E30 🙂 ---
