Default Bmw E30 Drift project - Running can drive away!

I don't want to sell this, But as some may know i got stitched up when i bought my wife's car it was repo'd because it had outstanding finance on! So lesson learnt! Hpi check everything!

Now my bmw is far from standard:

Wisefab kit complete E36 kit with E30 top mounts - everyone knows how much this kit is.. if not just google it.

Dished steering wheel

Hydro (Fitted nicely with center console cut round)

Complete e36 brake / hub set up on the front (stops very well)

Coilovers for an E36 compact

Welded diff

Front arch extensions (metal arch cut and new arches bolted on)

Bucket seats driver and passenger - both slide-able

Rear stainless exhaust (Front part standard)

18" Alpina rep alloys (Could do with a refurb)

Ali strut brace

Piper cross induction

tax till march

mot till april

All stickers are removable

Left to do:

Fit the REAR 5 stud conversion /brake discs / wheels / arch extensions / struts. I have everything for this will come with the car to complete may need new discs and pads on the rear before the arms are fitted..

Front camber bolts need fitting if you want to give it more.


I have been driving this on the road and going over bumps the front drivers wheel has hit the arch and made a few scuffs hairline crack but its not bad or hanging off i personally think it sounds worse than it looks!
The car looks odd because the front has been done with the wisefab kit arch extensions big 18" wheels etc and the rear is still standard.


Front suspension sometimes knocks the problem is the coilover spring sometimes hits the tower its due to extra caster of the e36 knuckle.. (Backed up by one of the guys from wisefab)

No service history or paper work i do have current MOT & V5 in my name

Picture shows complete rear subframe it isn't complete anymore i only have the rear arms!


I was going to turbo a M20B25 engine and put this in the car will still drift and burnout very well with the 2.0 engine but when you get full lock on the power bogs down, I do have the manifold and injectors for sale separately (maybe an engine to).


Perfect for any conversion Sr20det / bmw v8 / turbo'd e30 engine etc..


I was going to take it off the road and make it a pure drift car but reasons out of my hands i wont get chance to see it through.


At least with this you can get in and drive away!


All modifications declared it cost me £300 fully comp.

















£2750 ono

We WILL own a subaru again!

I was going to turbo a 2.5 engine as the engines are more than capable of running boost and there bloody quick when there done!

Also an Sr20det will fit straight in as engine mounts are the same.

But as above her car got repo'd so i bought us a cheap run around that lasted 4 days and now were stuck without a car!
