[@swed_sled]

would have never thought to mark bolts and color code them for sizes!! that would save so much time with my forgetful ass lol always droppin that knowledge!

[@TheCommentedOne]

This advice is GOLD! Super helpful and very much appreciated.

[@tonsan1231]

Keep up the content! Solid as always.

[@maximiliankase963]

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me

[@hunterkaden2701]

@Maximilian Kase Instablaster ;)

[@kwzps.entertainment9034]

Good content, very helpfull. You my inspiration man, I just a guy from a country called Mozambique(South Africa), and I still dream on being a able to drift and be as good as you are.

[@TheKingie07]

Good vid, came for the tips and tricks happy to see i'm on par with you on this already. Amazing what you find after an event sometimes i've had the bolts on both of my rear spring adjustment cups (2 piece coilover setup) hanging out by a couple of threads and even had my front wheel nuts back themselves almost all the way out after they were torqued before the track. I agree with check every time you get home!

[@Gentlemenhac]

Great video and very useful tips and trick. Thank you Chelsea and keep up the great work, love your vids. I also got a Ti, so i really like your Ti vids. Cool looking Ti man. Peace

[@PakmanHikes]

Thanks for the tips! Am planning on going to my first drift event in a few weeks. Im really nervous, but can't wait!

[@NotTheChad-]

I’m glad to know even someone with 15 years experience still experiences the same trailer issues I do

[@chelseadenofa]

Haha, its a new trailer. BUT yes I do!

[@davidkimball7246]

I need to find myself a compact! Great looking car and loving what your doing

[@dansouthwell256]

Just ordered my stancer dancer shirt and stickers. Stoked!

[@Plateface3D]

i had the same problem with my work trailers and our mowers, just weld some steel mess on the ramps

[@caseysnt5]

Best drift channel yet I hope you channel blows up soon I would love to see more content.. #compact4thewin

[@bagelbandit6076]

I love your custom polished exhaust!

[@shawnsouthwell5632]

chelsea, i'm starting a running group in pdx for dudes that can't run, like me. you should do it

[@smokinhot6106]

DeNofa funny shit man keep up the good work.

[@andrewjwolff]

Great info!

[@tomahoks]

Never been this early. Sup from Finland.

[@blakesommers77]

That rattle you're getting when backing the car up, is that the input shaft or the diff?

[@michaelmahoney5012]

What are the downsides (or upsides) to going with a convertible e36 chassis? I see convertibles going for a bit cheaper but was wondering if there's a reason for that

[@AdamCMoreno]

Michael Mahoney I think they’re less safe because they don’t have an actual hard top. But I do know that people still drift them. But those who do drift in convertibles, usually have a cage or a roll bar or something so it’s a lot safer.

[@Jakekola]

Because you need to spend a lot of dough to be able to drift them on a track. (Roll bar/ cage). The chassis is less stiff by design than a coupe or sedan.

[@chelseadenofa]

stay away, more costly in the long run.

[@Secret_Agent_J]

Gd looking out

[@rockabillypreformancerc1639]

If you get stuck raise the legs on the trailer make the ramps raise against the floor

[@chelseadenofa]

Shit was already raised.

[@bbbildhuu]

Yo I couldn't wait to win the stancer dancer, so I just bought a 98 328i. Thanks a lot for breaking my wallet!

[@rubensantana8601]

Bat B how much

[@thebrowntown1337]

Fammm same, but 94 325is

[@lordperezident]

Bat B I was trying to do the same exact thing. I couldn't wait to win and I was on Craigslist then found a perfect starter beater BMW for 1200$ but the guy backed out last minute. Super lame! The hunt continues

[@Chattsteezy]

Same. Just bought a 95 325is lmao.

[@Jakekola]

ayy e36 gang, just picked up a 94 325i

[@81morrow]

Buying a 318ti as a beginner drift build any good advice for me bro ? 👀

[@Rotor247]

"how to adult drift"

[@Psychedelicbananas]

Hey chelsea what would you think about having a 2.56 diff in a 328 and just using first and second gear? Or should I put a 3.73 in my 3.15 casing I have laying around?

[@chelseadenofa]

3.73 all the way.

[@einzelmotorsport6711]

The dog watching the unloading😂

[@tylercash2085]

My e36 only makes a clunky metal on metal noise when I hit bigger bumps. Subframe and bushings are good, nothing is loose. It has cheap coils on it. Think that could be my problem?

[@chelseadenofa]

Get rid of the cheap coilOVERS. Stop calling them coils too, sounds uneducated, Dont be that guy, I know you're not. :)

[@MrTshoff]

Looking into getting an e36 soon as a toy. Are there any technical reasons to go with a coupe/sedan/hatch? Is one stiffer than the other or I know on some cars the sedan versions don't have the same amount of space in the rear for wider tires. What about on e36s? Is there any reason to step up to an e46? Im looking at non m3 cars.

[@chelseadenofa]

Sedan is stiffest, safest, easiest to work on and lighter than the coupe... Coupes are lame. The 318ti is a very different car, not the same as the normal e36's. Rear half of the car is basically an E30. M3 sedan is really the best option. Finding a ragged out one for 3000-4000 is the best option.

[@MrTshoff]

Wow didn't know that about the 318ti. I'll keep that in mind though. The m3 sedans are tough to find for me but I'll definitely be on the lookout for a good sedan. Appreciate the response! I didn't want to buy a nissan and the e36's are still damn good looking and just as versatile so that's what I landed on

[@partylikeaspencer24]

Daily uploads of the golden boi?

[@tothemax0729]

About to buy an e36 but its convertible, should i wait and find a hard top? Is drifting a convertible safe? Like lower structural stability and whatever

[@AdamCMoreno]

Convertibles are cool! But if you’re planning to drift it, I’d prepare to buy a roll bar or maybe getting a cage for safety reasons. Just because you never know. But I know people still drift convertibles! Wish you luck man !

[@Jakekola]

Better budget out a rollbar or up to 5k for a full cage. No track I know of will let you drift a convertible.

[@chelseadenofa]

Put a roll bar in it right away... Or buy a sedan instead.

[@brockbain8656]

5k for a cage????? ive had full cages with door plates, intrusion bars and connecting into the engine bay for a tube front/rear done for 2k AUD (like 1200 USD)... where ever you get your cages done. DONT!!! My cages also have seat mounts for containment aluminium seats and also mounts for a mid mount radiator in car (habit from speedway, cant get damaged if you nudge someone on accident)

[@Mattars]

Jake Kolasinski 5k for a roll cage? I've been quoted $1,000 -$1200 for a full cage in my s13 vert by 2 different people

[@Chattsteezy]

Yo chels, what kind of cheap/ some-what long lasting tires do you recommend for a novice budget drifter like myself?

[@chelseadenofa]

Nitto G2's are reaaaaaly good and last forever. The Kenda's have less grip but last just as long if not longer.

[@Boostforthecure]

How would you check a axle for damage? I have a e46 325 and I keep snapping them in half, what did you do on your e46.

[@conorfinn2462]

Boostforthecuree e46s Have very weak axels. Best thing to do is get a diff and axels from a diesel e46 or I think 330s have the bigger ones too

[@chelseadenofa]

yea, only get used or new OEM ones. Also, make sure you dont have an insanely heavy clutch.

[@kellybanks8681]

Damn, an extra quart may have saved my SR last trip 😐

[@chelseadenofa]

truth...

[@frogchaser]

this is random, but where did your filmer get that HKS hat?

[@tannerbaer]

www.eliterideaccs.com/products/hks-hat Then I used a heavy black marker on all the white.

[@frogchaser]

Tanner Baer ah so that's the trick. Cheers

[@RVG87]

What bonnet vent did you have on the e46?

[@chelseadenofa]

URAS

[@RVG87]

Chelsea DeNofa ken nomura ? Ill have a look , thanks.I searched for years but this is the first time I actually find out what it is

[@aaronforward1004]

if you have ever said "i was driving and it just broke outta nowhere". . . .this video is for you. this is great advise. if you think its excessive your just lazy, but some can afford to just keep replacing stuff i guess.

[@chelseadenofa]

I know, this is the most SIMPLE stuff ever. Id rather you do this for an hour than watch my video!!

[@aaronforward1004]

honestly you narrate well enough that i can usually work on my car while listening to most videos almost like a podcast. some videos obviously are worth taking a break for the shredding, but tech talk i can listen to all day while i wrench. i was upgrading door speakers outta boredom when you uploaded this and indeed went under and all is well but now i KNOW all is well.

[@KaiserRolls]

I run out of breath walking to the fridge #huskynation

[@Andysavyd69]

Yeet

[@Betrunkenshark]

Hert, watch and learn. Lol

[@Gene5521]

Good thing with stock! No power life!...

[@joelmeyers7297]

When you have a low car on a car trailer jack the tongue up

[@chelseadenofa]

Already was. The issue here was that the ramps were buried into the ground and the angle was terrible. Its been fixed already.

[@shawnjacobi8717]

Was you at my house it’s always a shit show over here it seems like I am always fucking shit up. What car was in front of the red Ti on the trailer

[@chelseadenofa]

My girlfriends e36 sedan.

[@shawnjacobi8717]

Chelsea DeNofa Thanks so much man for all ways getting back to my dumb ass ? I going to try to get out and see you 1or2 times this year in the rtr Car
