jimmy, if this is going to be your big boy drift car, you have to throw a winters quick change in it. the upfront cost now will be worth it in the long run.

The complete automotive universe is assembled, this LZ invitational is going to be even more wild than the first one. and the e36 is getting dialed, car is getting better and better the P steering being the only big weak link at the moment shows how well the car is built!

Hey Jimmy awesome tip for doing suspension work when you're doing your final tightening of all the bolts it's good to have weight on the suspension and it doesn't find when you put the weight down on the car if you have it all hanging when you tighten the fasteners it puts bind on the suspension when you lower the vehicle I'm sure you know this it's just good to practice it

[@KimOve]

I think you should try to have the same grip on the shifter every time you're changing gears. Now you're changing the grip every time you're touching the shifter.

[@placeholdername3206]

10:30 BMW does not make power steering pumps. Theres ZF pumps and theres LUK pumps. They look similar but the brackets are slightly different and the hoses are slightly different too. You can swap them back and forth easierly, but you need the accessories, which cost not much i guess you need to know that first. The ZF is the "better" pump. It's more durable to abuse, but thats only if we are talking 30 year old pumps. if you get a new one today, LUK or ZF its going to last the life of the E36 if you take properly care of it and run the right ATF and dont have leaks and let it run dry. Just putting info out if anyone needs it

[@mikeneuman66]

I like the in car and out in the same frames

[@turn120]

You probbably need upgraded power sterring pulley with bigger diameter, on high rpm drift bmw it’s a must! Have luck🤟🏾

The 325/328 diff's (US M3) are actually pretty sturdy. My buddy has run the original 325i diff to the cars vin in his 600hp M60B40 swapped E36. Only broken 2 used OEM axels in about 20 events over the past 5 years too. I can't believe it's holding together. With a supercharger and all that torque you clutch kick far less than most of these lazy turbo motors, and it just eats.

It's all about wheel speed, he doesnt need the car to spin the rear tires 100mph in 2nd.

Idk how you hated that. 3.91 in my m50 literally brought the car back to life. Being able to swap back and forth between 2nd-3rd will also help save your trans too. I’ve blown up two transmissions with a 3.15.

[@dyrektormariusz979]

@@bradgraham8272 you absolutely right it is about the wheel speed but at 500+ hp and 3.91 diff 2nd gear is only 47mph you ain’t goin no where at this point he’s on rev limiter all the time and he doesn’t want to change gears all the time where 3.15 diff with zf trans would put him to 60mph on 2nd or 2.94 diff would be 65mph which it would be perfect for this track. All other guys are probly around 60-70mph wheel speed on this track

[@dyrektormariusz979]

@@Chattsteezy you need to figure out your setup first and Match that and yes 3.91 diff with m50 and getrag trans is pretty good setup since you only workin with 150 hp. I’ve had 3.91 diff with m52 zf trans and it was pretty good, once I swapped s52 in i was on rev limiter all the time (50hp more and it was whole new animal) and I was goin no where cuz it was just blowing the tires off just like him on the video (and yes I was playing with my grip tire pressure tires and springs) with s52 and 2.94 diff I don’t have to clutch kit car is planted it’s fast and i finally get tire smoke. Every setup has its own sweet spot and it depends on the track too.
