First Drift Event in the E36 328ti Compact!

The 328ti performed way better than expected at its first drift event! There are still some kinks to workout but I can confidently say that she is a ripper!

I just finished the same swap on a ti. The gauge clusters read differently on the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinders. The 4 cylinder one will still work but show the rpms as higher than they actually are. I just got used to it or you can just swap it over to a 6 cylinder one and be all good 👍🏻

[@RuinedSpec]

If he is short shifting bc of the 4cyl Tach he hasn’t even experienced the full beans! Swap over a 6cyl Tach or maybe there’s a mod to calibrate it

[@JamDrifts]

Thankfully I have a 6 cyl gauge cluster on hand so I'll be swapping that in the next video.

[@JamDrifts]

I was definitely short shifting the car in the first drive video. Since learning that the rpm gauge was off at the event Ive done some proper pulls on the street and it is insane. It spins tires through 2nd and chirps 3rd with 245s on the rear.

Came here to say this. I noticed on your first drive it sounded like you were short shifting but the guage didn't cross my mind then. You need to peg it at 7k and it'll be a smoke show at the track

I love how you reacted when you seen drew bro 🤣🤣🤣 , can’t wait to see this bad boy in person !!!! Keep up the great work

[@danielponce2010]

Dawwwww you're making me blush, son.

[@akaZepeda]

drifting in the water like that looks so damn fun

[@JamDrifts]

It definitely makes tires last a lot longer!

[@KeanuTC]

Awesome content keep it coming

[@izaaka70]

Part of your "gearing" is the fact you have a 4cyl rev gauge and the 6 cylinder screws up the signal you can see this when you rev it goes way past redline. Get a 6 cyl tacho

Plans on getting a hydro?

[@JamDrifts]

Definitely near the top of my list!

Learn how to use the machine before upgrading -- best way to appreciate all of your hard work

killin it

[@JamDrifts]

Hit the nail on the head with this one. Too many people overbuild their cars before even hitting their first event. You can have plenty of fun drifting with a basic, low power car and not break the bank in the process.

M52 rev limiter kinda sucks stock

[@markschaffer7234]

The ZF Trans is shorter than 318ti Trans, resulting in very short gearing paired with the 318 diff 🫠

[@JamDrifts]

I didn’t end up using a ZF trans. I’m running a getrag from my old 318is.

[@markschaffer7234]

@@JamDrifts oh, then it was only the tach lol, but I read that you already got a 6cyl one
