Re: Drift Pics from Air strip today (Karans Wheels too)


sorry didn't get more time to chat, but wit changin wheels so much i was a bit busy, oh and the nissan over heating.

The surface there is a bit hard on tyres. its ok in the wet. Me and terry said it would be best to get some water down for the next 1 and he's gonna look into gettin a bowser to spray water all day.

There's also talk of a prepared drift trace made out of tarmac.

i'll get the piccys of the tyres off me phone in a bit and post em up.

tourer held up well. thought at least the diff would go bang. i been rinsin the tits off the last few weeks.

Re: Drift Pics from Air strip today (Karans Wheels too)

Re: Drift Pics from Air strip today (Karans Wheels too)


wkd mate!! I went for a drift session today actually on steelies with 'wil318iS'

id love to get an m535i e28 some time to make a proper drfit wagon, although my dad used to have a 528i and he said the steering wasnt too good?

I bet they are a lot better to slide round than an e30 though, cos the M5 donor i have is really easy to slide around at silly speeds

Re: Drift Pics from Air strip today (Karans Wheels too)


nah wasn't there unfortunately (some of us gotta go to work!!!) i just hijacked this post slightly. karan my 528i wasn't too good for powersliding, no lsd. the steering on all e28 is worm and roller which is a bit slow and little feel. although the m535i/m5 is a quicker steering box. the blue car is the best sliding car i've had, lower and stiffer than the 528i and with standard lsd and plenty torque.

i bet that m5 is amazing to powerslide, take it it has an lsd?

Re: Drift Pics from Air strip today (Karans Wheels too)


don't mind the look of the later 3.8 m5 but it's a different sort of car to an e30.

my 335 stepped the back out a while back, on a slight bend in a dual carrigeway on a 4th-5th gearchange, and it gave me a bit of a scare! the gearing isn't high but will still do 100 or so in 4th. bought an lsd for it after that!
