Upgrading the F80 M3 drift build. we kinda screwed up.

We knock out some big upgrades to my unconventional f80 M3 seat time drift car, then take it to the track to test and see if it's any better. but we messed up and made it worse...

I'm thinking that solid engine and trans mount comment was some foreshadowing... especially after switching up the tune and running in 3rd, you can see the shifter rock back and forth during clutch kicks. That's probably knocking it out of second if it's hitting the trim when it rocks

[@Brokegarage]

I had to do solid trans mounts with my chassis mount in my e36 so it definitely could be

[@jasonsparshott7208]

That’s exactly what it’s doing… it’s just plain simple sense .. the trans and mtr are moving the shifter is rigid ( hence chassis mount = solid mount to frame rubber mtr and trans mount not solid ) the shifter doesn’t have to hit anything the movement of trans and the non movement of the shifter is enough to knock it out

[@purplejw]

@@jasonsparshott7208 exactly, I'm always surprised at how many people don't think about this. Seems like common sense to me, guess not for some people

[@uniquewhite1836]

Yo Taylor I’ve heard of this happening with chassis mounted shifters on e36’s when the engine mounts are too soft. If moving it doesn’t solve the issue then engine and gearbox mounts could be your problem

[@e36_cameron]

Hey! Some advice. On damn near every car, especially BMW’s. It is MANDATORY to have at least 75D poly or solid aluminum motor and trans mounts. The motor and trans move around a lot, so with the shifter being directly mounted to the chassis, you will face issues like it popping out of gear or not going into gear. Abusing the car like this with stock mounts can also tear up the trans tunnel where the shifter bolts on. It will tweak and bend it, and in extreme cases it can even tear. Some of my favorite mounts are from AKG Motorsport. Stay away from Condor and Garagistic as they have insanely high NVH and will make your teeth chatter and interior rattle, I prefer solid aluminum over condor or Garagistic stiff polyurethane. Also, 5w-40 > 0w40 for these engines. Especially with hotter climates down here in the southeast. This one is a little more of an opinion, but I’ve been working at dealers and independent repair shops on BMW’s for years and we usually run heavier weight oil. LM 5w-40, Motul 10w-60, 15w-50, sometimes even Rotella 5w-40 or 15w-40 are some of our favorites. I know there could be a lot of controversy about oil weight and type, but this is just my input.

[@philbert006]

If you're beating on a car especially down here in the south, you can never go wrong with rotella.

[@e36_cameron]

@@philbert006 yes sir! I completely agree. I run that in all my BMW’s, I’m down in Georgia.

[@philbert006]

@@e36_cameron I put it in everything. But I'm poor and crippled now and can't afford new cars so I figure it's best in the long run. Plus it's not any more expensive than regular oil. T-4 rotella at Walmart is usually like 22 bucks for a 5 qt. Jug. Can't beat that with a stick! I'm in Memphis, TN, so just as hot, not as pretty as Georgia. Gas and shit is cheap here tho

solid monting a shifter on a chassis and a rocking engine with soft mounts. what could go wrong 👀 you know better than this. it never works, and the throw just seems so annoyingly short.

[@quantumfluxuation]

Man you need that nutsandbolts hookup

[@Grip_Addict]

I have the CAE in my F80 and I track it with no issues, but it was tricky to set up and keep the shifter from interfering with the chassis. Super tight tolerance, like 0.5 - 1mm adjustment needed to fix the interference. Adjustment at the shifter to gearbox shift rod.

That helmet is a real classic Taylor. Nothing like red metal-flake with chrome trim. Who needs a wussy chin bar, especially in a car. How old is the helmet? What brand is it? My first helmet was a much uglier open face with a broken ear. Got in an accident with it and I didn't die but the ear ripped off the helmet. Good times if you survive it.

[@YohooJesus]

did you ever fix the factory diff locking motor situation? i remember you put it back in but never shown it in a vid recently

[@jasonnelson2744]

Taylor confused me on one thing he said in this video. He said a longer shifter makes it feel more like a race car. I am around circle track drivers mostly and they all prefer short shifters so they can get through the gears quicker Is it just the people I talk to or different types of racers like different length throw of shifters? I thought semidrivers are the ones that like long shifters.

[@IAintImFat]

What changes the throw is the fulcrum point. I have the exact same shifter in my e36 and several short shifters that were “tall” but the fulcrum point was changed.

[@josephsamsor1698]

Some of my favorite content is fabricating and I think it would be cool if you built a trailer for the m3. Would be perfect for trips and let you drop it and drift right away, and also keep the weight out of the car so your suspension can be set up without worrying about the cargo. Something designed to handle fast cruising too. I’d enjoy that personally.

[@andrewhawk2154]

i think the reason he wouldn’t do this is because he wanted this car to be a drive to to track and drive it right away kinda deal but this idea would be cool

[@josephsamsor1698]

@@andrewhawk2154I think it would make that even easier. No loading up tools and unloading at the track. Hitch on trailer and go. Just keep it loaded with the basics. Would make it a lot easier with taking spares and stuff. Main reason I’m curious if he’d do it is for the longer trips like drift week.

you would still have some extra weight because you want tongue weight on your trailer but definitely easier to load and unload

@@n3er0o fair, i do believe the EL gets raspy around 2k on catless setups though, hence why ive seen a few people go back to a single mid

@@omitence not an expert, but I do believe this has a lot to do with pipe diameter and if you're running the oem exhaust valves (they can get VERY rattly with time).

It defeat the purpose of dual clutch. Should get a sequential gearbox then.

[@Woodie-xq1ew]

AdamLZ had that eastern european company add a "clutch" to the 8HP in his Supra and from what I can find the DCT is also a getrag unit so it might be possible

[@robstyle7573]

Obviously you can do an aftermarket kit with standalone controller, I just wondered if someone had done it in its native setting. It doesn't defeat the purpose of a dual clutch trans. It's so you can drift with a more common dct F80. I'd argue it would be better, you can shift under power through drift etc etc.

5W is only for flow rate when cold.. both oils at operating temp will behave like a 40 weight.. there's no difference between the two.. if you had said 5w 60 or 0w 60 or 10w 60 then I could see your point
