E36 GETS A NEW SHIFTER, WE DO GOOD DEEDS, AND OUR E36 MAKES CRAZY NOISES?

[@partylikeaspencer24]

"I was on top and travis was on bottom puttin the nuts in while i held the shaft straight" thank you for making me laugh so fucking hard today

[@chelseadenofa]

+Spencer Jensen tanner* hahaha. Good times

[@partylikeaspencer24]

Chelsea DeNofa FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Tanners got a fucking killer mullet that should be featured more often

[@villelipponen923]

I love this build, i've always hated compacts, but now i see them differently.

[@To_Fear_God]

Good shit this year in FD with the whole new setup, can’t wait for next year watching you.

[@ElHundreds]

Love that your reviving your channel and shit, your a dope dude with good content keep it up mayne

[@simtechracing6560]

"He was putting the nuts in" GOT ME ROLLING!

[@Dirkadin]

Digging these build videos! Keep it up!

[@conorscanlon4200]

Love the compact, popular in Ireland and it's good to see them across the pond. Can't wait to see the wheels :D

[@chadvardas]

Nice like the shifter man. Loved the last event going up against Vaughn gittin keep up the good work!

[@buildingsalvage]

Roundabouts are a nightmare in the PNW. no one knows how to use them. Stoked to see you rip this though!

[@BimmerDude]

ive got this shifter... love it to pieces

[@joshhicks2784]

i have an e36 m3 with the zf trans did the fx clutch and the same flywheel had the same problem with the sqweelll and getting into gear, it went away and is doing great 5k miles later.

[@colerobinson3757]

hey bro loving the videos really enjoy that your posting videos so regularly. keep up the good work, your a inspiration !

[@BaggedMx5]

I really like that E36 series! Keep em up!

[@victorr91]

Love your videos man keep it up! /from Sweden

[@trailchoco]

Favorite FD driver :)

[@marcuslasey218]

same

[@craigb8010]

Tell that woman the battery drain is most likely due to the Hands Free Link unit that runs the Bluetooth calling in the car. Very common issue on the Gen 3 TL's. I removed mine from the car after my battery died once. Quick to remove.

[@chelseadenofa]

That was the issue. They fixed it shortly after this video.

[@jeremyt6234]

Back at it with that good shit! When we gonna see some “CLOSED COURSE STREET DRIFTING” lol (sarcasm on the closed course part) ready to see you rip it up on the street or a parking lot.

[@blackmkiv]

Keep it up, I'm loving the videos lately.

[@90awdtsi1]

I feel you on the cliq tuning short shifter because the nut on the bottom is still loose and i can adjust the throw as well. ill probably get under there and throw on some locktite this upcoming weekend.

[@cliqtuning]

Hey! If you experience any problems - feel free to msg us. It sounds the problem is solved tho :)

[@chelseadenofa]

+90awdtsi1 yea I just loctited it. Totally good now.

[@alanmoore2920]

Always hook positive cable first.hooking it up second can cause voltage spikes that electronics dont like.and be careful about throw out clearances they can eat through clutch fingers.

[@xSERBUSTAx]

So excited for you to be ripping the E36 soon! Keep it up Chelsea

I love your videos man!! By the way thanks for getting my friend free tickets in Atlanta! (the giveaway)

[@bryanlettow4389]

"I'm like ish bro" lol

[@vgannon-7303]

Loving this vids.

[@northeastgiants775]

Legends say it still going strong

[@mattieb3175]

Just finished putting mine in my e36 i did have the same trouble but once i drove it got better

[@ramonvilla4682]

Think its the throwout bearing. My friends 240 was doing the same thing same noise and everything

[@daviderridge9881]

Bmx handle on the handbrake would look the biz

[@chelseadenofa]

I had Quanbecks on my last one. Gotta get him to send me another one.

[@gamesmemes1789]

I would get an e36 but I have no idea how to work on them so sticking to 240's your 318 is looking sick tho

[@chelseadenofa]

240's just require SO much more to work well. E36's are really great out of the box.

[@valdemarvera2886]

25:55 fucking dead 😂

[@jeffthesavageable]

sounds like u got the fx clutch in backwards homie. been there

[@chelseadenofa]

+jeffthesavageable nah it’s right. Double checked.

[@jeffthesavageable]

Chelsea DeNofa right on man. that squealing noise sounds all too familiar. on mine the nose of the clutch was rubbing the guide tube in the trans. great videos man!

[@AaronMelendez23]

I have an E36 coupe, just one question what bushings should I do first? I'm doing more of a grip build.. my car tram lines pretty bad when there's a groove in the road.

[@chelseadenofa]

+Aaron M RTABS, monoball ones. Synchro Design works makes really awesome ones. Then FCABs. Then check all the stock ones every oil change and replace with poly or monoball ones when you can. Keep the diff bushings OEM tho.

[@AaronMelendez23]

Chelsea DeNofa thanks! That's really good insight, there's always an overload of info and it's hard to know what to go with. Great video! newer sub!

[@flowg0d]

love these videos

[@nico92viau]

hey chelsea I hope you’ll read my comment I had the same problem with mine, the clutch disc where the output shaft of the tranny go was touching the center of my release bearing(hard part) since it’s an ebay clutch! sorry for my english i’m from montreal canada and by the way I loved your runs at st-eustache this year!

[@niggballs]

generation 7 same problem with my E46 . Just grind the cone dizzle down.

[@chelseadenofa]

Yup. I just self clearances it with a track day. Good 2 go for now.

[@RonnyScott]

Mine made the same noise when the pivot on the fork was crushed/worn out. Stupid cars, love em though. Do you plan on traveling around with this car? Or just north west stuff?

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea man, I want too. Lets see where it takes us.

[@RonnyScott]

Hell yes, I hope to see it down south one day

[@jdm1839]

Dude keep up

[@peterf2416]

Did you use that eBay throw out ? They’re so cheap! I bought the same kit and put in an oem throw out . One of my buddies put in that eBay one and blew up on that first clutch kick at the track..

[@chelseadenofa]

+Peter Frayre yup... I have had decent luck with them. OEM one going in next inspection tho. Already on the install shelf

[@1dickycat]

Double wrapping the shift boots!

[@chelseadenofa]

SOUND DEADENING

[@1dickycat]

Chelsea DeNofa Gotta take what yea can get, Right?!?! 😂

[@Max23653]

so much for that autozone sponcer ship telling the lady to go to walmart

[@chelseadenofa]

Im not sure Autozone stocks jump boxes. But if they do, YOU BETTER GO THERE INSTEAD! hahaha.

[@Max23653]

haha i was just joking but they do i buoght one that charges my phone to and its real small and goes right in the glove box

[@Octopusolamo2000]

love your channel

[@Its_PieRat]

Yo chelsea, loving the vids. how would you go about improving steering feel on a 46 and a 39? can you increase castor enough with topmounts and extended lower arms to overcome the overly strong power steering? ive deleted the powersteering on one of mine but have yet to drive it. thanks dude.🤘🤘

[@chelseadenofa]

I would definitely put the PS back on. No reason to ever remove that when drifting. The biggest thing on the E36's is getting a linear rack in the car. A lot of them are progressive. You can also take some preload off the rack, but thats fairly complicated. Best option is to get some offset FCABs that are more firm. And add some angle for a faster turn in.

[@Its_PieRat]

Chelsea DeNofa only reason ive deleted it is for simplicity as ive swapped in a 1GFE that im going to turbocharge. i will try it without and see how it goes lol. Yeah shorter knuckles will help but they didnt make much difference on my soarer 🤣

[@imnota]

Get a z3 rack, it's linear. How are your steering shaft joints ? If they aren't an actual metal joint, get a kit with metal joint, because the ones with a rubber bushing are trash.

[@deniselovett8125]

I really wanna thank the editor for turning down the volume when the alarm went off cuz I sure enough had headphones in

[@shortroundChris]

Did you use loctite/teflon tape for the locknut on the shifter? I've heard it's common to get loose.

[@readyplayerJesse]

so i just watched this and it sounds like the shifter is extended too much to where its hitting the driveshaft and or the bushing. did you figure out what it was?

[@skidbits1802]

Your road rage rants are hilarious dude. You might wanna adjust your clutch pedal if you haven't already

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea we are good now. Thanks man

[@lucasnast5359]

looking to get a short shifter but i am debating between the garagistic or cliqtuning one for my 99 323ic e36. which one is a better bang for my buck.

[@SwaggyT91]

What subframe risers did you use ? Ihave the condor set an i STILL have hella camber and some toe

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea, I have modified condor ones. Still have camber... But my toe is good at this ride height. Next move is to move the arm mounting locations. Gotta get some more testing in tho.

[@HoonGarage]

Have you ever had guibo issues? I had one go out twice the past 2 events which destroys my zf driveshaft and trans tunnel. Any suggestions?

[@chelseadenofa]

Damn, nah I NEVER have issues with them. Even with 700hp.

[@WeirdBikeGuy]

those hydraulics tho at 7:00 big pimp'n

[@driftingpsycho86]

What’s the plans for the E46?

[@boettin916]

I dont recall if you put a taller diff in this car. Did you do a 3.91 like in the past or taller? What would you recommend for a dedicated drift car that still sees some street? Car is an 328.

[@chelseadenofa]

+Chris Boettin I did a 3.73 on this car for Parc because the 3.91 was just a tad short. Gear depends on the track tho.

[@boettin916]

Chelsea DeNofa right on yea I think the 391 might be too much for central cali. My local spots are thunderhill. Sonoma. Tracks seem a bit more big than Parc so I might go talker than the 3.91

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

yeah ,, go go gadget smoke screen on that dodge. my fx 2, twin eco smokes em good lol

[@shortroundChris]

When you connected it with the selector rod, did you keep the washers/spacers? They say on realoem.com that they're no longer necessary.

[@chelseadenofa]

They are totally necessary lol.

[@ericchapman8496]

“It should be fine” lol

[@chelseadenofa]

Thats pretty much my life with FUN cars. I can't do that with comp cars, so I am a bit lazy with these.

[@ericchapman8496]

Chelsea DeNofa haha no worries man, just thought it was funny how many times you said it. I’m sure it’s a nice change during the off season, get to still thrash, but not worry about making some people who pay you happy haha. Can’t wait to see you continue to progress and kill it next year, good luck man! New fun car looks dope, loving watching all your videos on it!

[@chrismaj1603]

Love the wheels, what are they?

[@chelseadenofa]

Billet Specialties in the front and forged ARE's in the rear.

[@ChromeCowboyGaming]

I’m more then sure by now that you’ve figured this out because this video is well over 2 years old but.. that squealing sound you heard is probably definitely the throw out bearing because my miata made the same noise and that’s what it was.

[@ChromeCowboyGaming]

Also, did you end up liking the shifter? I was watching this video on reference to that because my e36 shifter is loose as hell, like I can literally put the car into 3rd two different ways. I was wondering if I bought this shifter, if it would fix it because it does come with new bushings on the shifter. I also do like short throw. Idk lmk if you see this. Thanks!

[@DWAYNE-WORLD]

When are you coming to Texas?

[@chelseadenofa]

+dwayne brinkley DEC 15. San Antonio for a drifting class.

[@AceXwilD]

I've been eyeing a stage 4 FX clutch for my s52 for current drift use, and preparation for boost, should I just go with OEM throw out bearing?

[@albertbord]

another dude here said the throw out bearing is trash, use the oem

[@chelseadenofa]

Yes, USE OEM. Also, do you really need a stage 4? My stage 2 in my street car was holding 480ftlbs for years.

[@anthonyjohnson8133]

Hey man can you inform me as to what’s going on with Irwindale? And why it was FDs last time there this season? I can’t find why anywhere i just want answers :( thx big daddy D if you see this keep up the work love your channel and your driving ❤️

[@rossjensen6839]

anthony johnson what I heard is they are demolishing the track and turning it into a mall

[@chelseadenofa]

+Ross Jensen correct. At least maybe sort of kind of. Lol.

[@anthonyjohnson8133]

:((((((

[@tommybueno964]

Sound the clutch disk is backwards!

[@andresolvera2243]

did you end up keeping the rear subframe that came with the 318?

[@xSILVERxVENOMx]

definitely not since its s50 swapped. that diff would explode

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

get an optima for that Acura. i put them in all my stuff

[@barkleytv1668]

What are you gonna do with your e46? idk if i missed something and you said it somewhere, but i really dont know what you're gonna do with it since you have your new fd car and you're building this compact car, so what's up with it?

[@chelseadenofa]

+BarkleyTV it’ll get built back up soon. Have other stuff going on. I have serious love for that car. So it’ll be ripping again soon!

[@SupraSwag10]

Give it some 16inch VS-KFs lmao

[@averymccall8393]

Yo dude everybody says the fx clutch kits are great but the provided throw out is trash, slam an oem you'll be good.

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea, this is my 4th one over the years. Never had an issue. BUT now I know for sure. Whats weird is the TO that came with it was labeled a SACHS...

[@jw200]

What engine is on this E36 ? Anyone knows

[@makerz1]

I have the ebrake cover bracket you can have it plus I'm local

[@chelseadenofa]

+makerz1 works fine line this, I don’t think it’ll work either... thanks tho!!

[@hlproduction9735]

What you doing with the e46 pro car

[@chelseadenofa]

Putting a Motor in it and shipping it overseas for some fun.

[@jeffthesavageable]

the sprung hub needs to face the flywheel.

[@chelseadenofa]

+jeffthesavageable yea. We good. It’s different for dual mass vs single mass too.

[@RowlandPeters]

Are you going to wrap or paint the Ti?

[@chelseadenofa]

Probably keep it red to keep the budget and care level down.

[@deadm00n40]

Takes Turbo out, weight reduction😂😂😂

[@xikods1]

So, you recon a na car would be faster with a straight pipe?

[@chelseadenofa]

+XikoDS nah, mufflers don’t really lose any power. Keep it quiet for more fun.

[@xikods1]

Chelsea DeNofa I thought you were saying that... Cool man!

[@haarrisali1452]

do you recommend chassis reinforcement plates for the e46

[@WHO_CARES88]

Yes, pretty sure the subframe rips through like on e36's

[@chelseadenofa]

ABSOLUTELY

[@haarrisali1452]

thanks for the reply

[@Ajrubioooo]

what size tires do you run and range of psi?

[@chelseadenofa]

Great question. I run 245-40-17's at around 30 cold in this car. But the best tire IMO for over 200HP NA E36's is a 225-45-17. CHEAP as hell and can work with a wide range of setups.

[@ramonvilla4682]

Hahaha good jokes man lol

[@MrMjrcruz]

I know you’ve probably been asked this millions of times but is your diff welded? If so would you daily a welded?

[@chelseadenofa]

+vmvni yup, and most of my street cars have welded doffs

[@MrMjrcruz]

Chelsea DeNofa 3.91? What diff exactly?

[@gonzalo4307]

Dude that compact sounds MEAN

[@NorcraftGaming]

What engine are in that ? mine is a 4cyl

[@chelseadenofa]

S52, now it has an S54

[@ants00]

BMW's and MTB's!

[@comradical]

The mysterious disappearance of the Evil Empire hat is, frankly, concerning... Also, how did you like Frankie (the supra that you drifted in Minsk, not the one you had to run for the qualification)?

[@chelseadenofa]

+Alex N the car was awesome, I love mk3 and mk4’s. That car was super light!

[@pfunkhelo]

Whats the shifter brand?

[@Chattsteezy]

cliq tuning

[@nuggythegawd1256]

my e30 makes that noice too 😂

[@chelseadenofa]

+Nuggy The Gawd it’s finally gone. After a swift ass kicking at PARC

[@klout1791]

Can’t find it? Grind it! My outlook on life

[@ClubLoveless]

Variable throw shifter haha

[@FastPaull]

Super short throw shifters suck, i don't know why people torture themselves with a shifter that moves .5 of an inch.. Stock throw ftw.

[@chelseadenofa]

I totally agree with this statement. The chassis mount adjustable ones are nice tho because mine has just a little shorter than stock throw, but a ton less slop, and a better shifter location. Its higher up and gets rid of a moving piece that can fail.

[@kanevanderstok5408]

Who’s is the r32 4 door out the front

[@chelseadenofa]

Tanner, my cine guy.

[@Tbrick563]

E46 dash or is that just the compact dash?

[@Collindoesdrifting]

The compacts all have e30 dashes

[@kaskaderalen]

Collindoesdrifting no dud

[@Tbrick563]

Collindoesdrifting ahh. Cool I guess these compacts are weird lmao.

[@chelseadenofa]

Compact dash, Its really cool right?

[@DoWutNow]

Is there an adj on the clutch pedal?

[@chelseadenofa]

Not really. There is, but your not supposed to adjust it.

[@DoWutNow]

Chelsea DeNofa i had clutches go bad because the throughout bearing never released. I adjusted where the pedal engages the clutch master and had better engagement and no more burning up throughout bearings destroying clutches. You know BMWs waaaaay better than I. Just throwing it out there. Cheers!

[@shawnjacobi8717]

Have you ever done an auto to 5 speed swap on e36

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea man. Easy, just make sure you have all the parts before hand. Best to just but a manual car with a blown motor. Swap it all, then sell whats left.

[@cruzicbr]

I did it in mine! Not hard! Do your research and it should go smoothly

[@Azewzew]

There are sooo many clean automatics for cheap, and then an abundance of clapped out manuals for top dollar

[@coltondavies27420]

E46 or e36?

[@JonahAnslow]

4 door, coupe or compact

[@coltondavies27420]

Seems like cheap 4 doors are more common around me

[@chelseadenofa]

e36 SEDAN for life man. Best car IMO. But I wanted to try something different with the compact.

[@coltondavies27420]

Hey chelsea i appreciate the reply thats what im thinking they all over atlanta dirt cheap. And i DO NOT WANT ANOTHER 240 LOL. But yea man keep up the awesome videos!!!! Cant wait to see whats next

[@JonahAnslow]

+Chelsea DeNofa , even for a daily fun have-er. thanks for response
