My FIRST Drift Event In The E46 Wagon

[@kujtek]

this sound of rear subframe knock when doing a clutchkick is hillarious

[@ChasePhilport]

Right? It's like its laughing at him. Love seeing him have fun with it doe lol I feel like he shouldn't need to clutch kick as much as he is, but I've never drifted so what do it know

[@swaysidespeedyboi8550]

@@ChasePhilport i have a e46 drift wagon as well and the m52tu engine just doesnt make enough torque down low to not kick, so he has to get used to the balance of the revs up high and gain confidence😁

[@cameronscotty3671]

or a diff lol

[@itsBlack]

Remove the rear sway bar. Someone told me to do that after my first couple events and I immediately started linking the track. It stops the random snap spin-out. Also make sure your front doesn't rub AT ALL during full lock cause that will slow you down and make you spin too

[@ElvisE46]

After you said this in your vid I did the same thing on my car, big improvement thanks bro

I love the positive attitude you have regarding everything. You have to keep that vibe if you wanna continue drifting. Continue seat time and everything will come naturally. You will know what mod to put next as you become better since you will start feeling your car and know what you need to put in next. But one trick is to try and use as less as possible your e-brake and clutch kicks at the beginning. Try and make one with the car and use speed and weight transfer (i know its hard not to clutch kick since you have that low power, i also drift a Bmw). Just know the car and the physics before you use all those e-brakes and angle kits and power mods. It's not about mods and speed, it's about driving! Keep it up ;)

[@tattmatter4963]

why did he keep spinning out? Im a newbie as well

[@cheddarshredder2761]

if you get that subframe reinforced it’ll make the chassis feel a whole lot tighter and probably get rid of most of those clunks

[@nikolasmunro6359]

8:46 gotta keep the vibes high after a shakey start. This part had my so motivated. Cheers Joel

[@Dat_1_OutKast]

Love that you're one of the few guys I've found on KZbin trying to drift an e46 wagon. I'm working on stuffing a k24 into mine, can't wait to slide her like you!

Install a exhaust cut out valve and another section out the back,that way you can run your stock exhaust on the street and flick a switch at the track,then run straight pipe

[@Dylan-Reid]

i love how honest u are in your videos makes the content wayy better good prgress cant wait to see more

[@FishFind3000]

One thing I remember reading is that the oil pump nut likes to back off the oil pump. The m52/54/56 engine platform, I don’t remember which engine but this high rpm revs that drifting does causes the nut to back off. If you see a red oil light that means low oil pressure and to shut it down.

[@coreystrandberg9087]

And make sure to not do the safety wire without doing a tensioner on the chain as you’ll just break your oil pump shaft. The oil pump nut comes off because the slack in the chain causes an impacting effect, but safety wiring it just tosses the problem down the road to the oil pump shaft.

[@sandercornel]

Just a tip, for your traction control to be properly off press it and press and hold again for like 10 secs to have traction controle fully off. Also, clutchkicking in the rain is overpowering. Try to steer corners instead of fully steering with throttle, you dont get enough angle for the amount of speed you want to carry thrue your drift

i also have a 5 speed e46 drift wagon, basically identical setup, i run square 225 35 17"s and air them up to 45psi in the rear, 30psi in front and it works great, hella predictable, back wont over-swing the front as easily

[@whitelisst4941]

loving all these videos lately

[@RishMedia]

Ayee got me hyped to get started with drifting too 💪🏻 The wagon looks so good drifting though

[@sleveille44]

Your consistency with the uploads is amazing forreal 🙌

[@jrp3197]

When i was first teaching myself to drift in the rain, i learned that you can kind of gas it and just do some light steering. kind of depends on you though.

[@holdenweese9589]

Ik your new to drifting, but you gotta prep your car for an event like this. Your subframe sounds highkey fucked when you clutch kick and having a random crank sensor failure just means you should be doing more maintenance on your car. Having a well setup car will get you alot more solid seat time. Wish you the best tho!

[@xanimalzz1183]

more drifting videos! im so happy for u! love this video, i hope u will do good in drift in future!

[@juliolopez7893]

Boy jammin to bad bunny, what a g

[@sebastianwalus3335]

You talking about exhaust being stock is the problem, we have a saying in Poland. If you can't drift, then it's probably steering wheel to pedals connector which is broken :D But yea, not easy to feel that e46 wagon, I had e36 compact and it's much easier on transition than e46. One thing that changes a lot is good seat position, it's like night and day when drifting, second making sure tires are at right psi, 40-50 is like for 316i in rain, I was even going as low as 25psi, so I can have a little of that grip to prevent spinouts. Anyway keep up the good work :)

[@Mati_1428]

35 psi in the wet and you shouldn't be on that throttle that hard . When your starting going sideways you should give it less gas and if its easier try starting your drift with the handbrake, that helps a lot, i use it and its great 👍😁btw that was great first time drifting ! good look on the next drift day!!

Love the vids, if u havent try to take the fuse for the abs, might help with response and can give u more power for drifting!

[@destrafe_3361]

When you feel your about to spin out drop the gas a bit and not fullied just a little gas and u will keep the drift and get control of it trust me try it!

[@mekkiz_]

Joel. Iwatched a noriyaro video where he was drifting a Toyota wagon in the rain. He said the wagons like to kick the rear out. It’s not like a coupes weight ratio. I can see you whipping a wagon tho

[@schoefmannracing4143]

Bro i dont know how long or how much work you want to put in the car but i would strip the whole interior for wheight saving and you would hear the engine much better. Nice Vid

[@Kraxt0n]

take the fuse out for DSC when drifting! you wont need to do that anymore....then when your done just put it back in....

[@954scrappy]

He posted 😈😈😈

[@mossmon]

Bro due to the reason it gives codes for both crank and cam sensor, it would suggest there is something wrong with the timing or the timing chain of the engine. How many miles/km does your engine have? It is common to see timing chain getting start to get stretched around 350 000-400 000+km on m5x engines. Or maybe the chain tensioner or chain guide has wear. But this is just my worst case scenario diagnosis. I had to replace a crank sensor on my winter beater m52, but after taking the old one out i realised it was just covered in oily grime and dirt. Just giving it a good clean would have saved some money :D Maybe check that first?

[@dizzy_foxx]

Good job man!

[@BGTouge]

The sound of the subframe dying is just damn....

[@yrakazstunting6734]

id say use your brake to make the weight of the car move on the front wheels when u turn

[@Noluvjace13]

Yesssss😂!!!!

[@Sebastian_Langstrom]

You're funny! Keep it up you get there.

[@M5R.]

cant believe how hard it looks without the bumper 🤣

[@42069gaming]

Just so you know you can pull fuse 61 and that'll kill traction control but not abs + you can keep all ur gauges tach speed mpg etc

[@42069gaming]

and if you get the abs trifecta for some reason ( abs, traction control and handbrake light) you can just unplug and replug the abs computer

[@FishFind3000]

When your at the event you could probably just remove the fuse for dsc so you don’t have to keep turning it off.

[@BGTouge]

I dont think it works like that in bmws, it is the same fuse for 2-3 things

[@BGTouge]

Don't quote me on this though

[@FishFind3000]

@@BGTouge yea i looked up the diagram and it appears to also control the abs and steering angle sensor. Maybe he can just unplug the dsc module. Idk if the care will freak out if its missing those two things but it could be worth a shot.

[@BGTouge]

@@FishFind3000 idk if it will work ok amd not go into limp mode

[@imnota]

@@BGTouge I can tell you unplugging a wheel sensor will remove the traction control and abs without any kind of limp mode, my speed sensor went bad and had to drive for like a week while waiting to get it, had no speedo as well because that was the rear left which controls the speedo, but any other one would just turn off abs and dsc, and my car had full power

[@ghostybeef2342]

in wet i would lower psi until its grippy enough just adjust it if too grippy raise if not grippy enough lower

[@tilsfuz]

The next time you take the relay out for the Abs then you will no longer have traction control

You have to take into consideration lift off overstear.. you need to be on gas all the time or the backend will definitely overstear. Goodjob though for being your first time 👌👍

[@donataspalevicius]

I'm drifting with e46 328, for r16 205 on the dry i set ~ 26psi, in these wet conditions i would go ~20psi or even lower

[@oliverkalling4467]

should the drivetrain really bang that much when you clutch kick?

[@jakabstulans9443]

Keep your style man! Dont get inspired by some other guy too much that it changes who you are!

[@PgamerTBP]

Lots of wheels speed in 2nd for the speed you where going in the rain, but you're going to get it 🔥🙌🏽

[@JesusGonzalez-kh8df]

Your spinning out because you don't have enough steering angle. Get an angle kit and that should help. Also, you're not using you handbrake. You can use it to maintain a slide and i think that should help with the spinning out.

[@eastsideofthetracks8311]

Lmao I knew that it was gonna be those sensors classic e46 problems same shit happened to me when I went to drift a corner I spun out and car was hard starting after

[@taofiqprice4370]

think about it that is a tired wagon you have to throw a lot of angle at it did you d any angle mods?

[@kaupoeverst6434]

I guess u need some gamber at front wheels and some more steering radius
