How BAD Are Ebay Coilovers and Blast Pipes? - Project DirtE36 Ep. 1

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

This series is so much fun dudes. Thanks for watching episode 1!

[@biglez21]

Gayyyyyyyyyyy

[@802Garage]

I didn't even realize it was over 20 minutes when watching it. This is my favorite kind of video, so this might be my favorite from you yet! Watching you guys have tons of fun working on this and goofing off, but doing the little things right, that's great. :)

[@S-Kidz]

I have them on my s14 with 30 way adjustable damping and they work well. Not too bumpy at all. On rough roads they do feel harsh tho. My friend had them on a super budget drift missle s14 and they performed flawlessly. They are actually a good bang for your buck.

[@CRatcliffe]

Havent finished watching the video yet but while you're in there you might wanna do the subframe reinforcement plates. I've owned 2 e36 m3 and it's a an easy add while doing the rear coils. I had one set of ebay coils for my sedan and although they were stiff it was worth the affordable price for a daily.

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Colton Ratcliffe thanks dude!

[@jakecarver4580]

Weld the diff while you're at it!

[@GRENAgaDE]

Are you talking about the weld in reinforcement plates that you need to remove the whole subframe for? Thats definitely not a "while you're in there" thing. Also e36 m3s should have factory reinforced subframe mounts. Mine does at least.

[@CRatcliffe]

@@GRENAgaDE no theres a bracket that mounts over the top of the coilover when it is mounted in the car on top of the tower if that makes sense. It's hard to type what I'm trying to say.

7:10 Still sounds better than a straight piped VQ!

[@zachicusmaximus5551]

They both sound pretty bad. My e36 was straight piped for a bit but it's a 328i so it has bigger cats and resonators to make it a bit more bearable. I built a custom header back exhaust and it sounds ok now, still not great. I also have a E34 540i and wish I could transplant just the sound into the e36. Those sound mean af.

Subframe reinforcements!!!!!! Trust me I owned a ‘93 325is and didn’t do the research and I did my own e36 drift build. I had to re-weld the threaded hole for the bolt of the rear trailing arm. The subframe mounts in this car are really weak, Bmw didn’t fix this problem till their refresh of the e36. Oh and the plastic clutch fan...... it’s a suicide fan, it’s broken and punctured holes in my radiator, my belt. I switched over to an electric fan with a switch in the dash to get rid of the risk

[@holec0591]

Hey guys! Awesome series. I picked up an old e36 for 1000$ CAD in decent shape. Wondering whether it's worth spending the money on budget coilovers or if I should just pick up something half decent. First track car/drift car. Looking at Solowerks and BC Racing. Thoughts?

[@TheDutchTexan]

George is hilarious. I love these kind of videos where you go through and show every little thing. Can't ever beat the purchase price on that 3 series though. I looked at my local craigslist and unless you have a few grand you can't get in one. But damn... I ended up checking body kits for them and the Pandem kit is glorious. Slippery slope those 3 series if you have a semi proper build budget...

That sc on the lift is cool

[@Chad.D]

the correct way to do the lower damper bolt is to mount wheel ...lower car on own weight and carefully line it up.... easier said than done, Obviously but that trick will only work if you are using floor jacks not hoists. so just thought id share for the budget builders

[@MrBisho23]

man i know how it is too have the allergy stuff ... love this series keep it up

[@FroztiProductions]

I have the same brand on my civic. You feel every bump but it rides way better than cut springs so that's... Something. They have very little downward travel and a lot of upward travel even when lowered. Maybe I need to adjust preload.

When I was young and dumb, I ordered coilovers from eBay but they were such low quality I didn't even try to use them. They felt like a cheap toy and there was no way they were going to be durable enough to function. The coilovers you guys have look high end quality compared to mine.

[@TurboD16z6]

these coilovers are not bad. i have tien flex that blew up after a few weeks. if you just need some coilovers to lower your car and to replace they are not bad. sure they won't win you any time attack, sure it might not be good in Minnesota because we have so many pot holes. but if your road are nice and you just need to lower it. its not bad.... like i said before, if you get 1k suspension its like swapping a b16.. might as well go K...
