You got my respect for drifting without power steering. I lent my friend's old car without power steering few days back and let me tell you, after cassualy driving for few hours I had an excuse to skip my workout. 😂
@@blackframes5658 It’s not a drifting term. These days, almost every car has power steering, which means the steering rack is assisted, making it easier to turn the wheel. Unfortunately, mine doesn't have it, so the steering wheel is difficult to turn at low speeds.
This footage is exactly what ive been looking for to start this sort of thing myself. Always curious how people do it for the first time and its very encouraging !
Poor car haha he is trying to be inba garage...but so happy seeing this video...incredible. very difficult to do drift in that location. But also the car is in good hands😍😍🤞 beautiful drift and car mate
The rear end on mine goes out easily in the rain because the tires suck, so a wet road will make it easier to drift especially if you want to keep your tires in any decent condition.
As a daily driver of E82 coupé 120D open diff or (DTC/DSC switch) -> eLSD driving it stock is fun and all, but doing some serius drifts are hard af. Almost every day I find some time to do a little bit here and there but not that fun as closed diff(welded diff). The car should go through a lot of work to be able to drift well. THumbs up! You made some big improoving through those days :)
When I first got my E30 and drove it around for a bit, I couldn’t understand how people managed to drift these things 😅. But after getting used to it, it’s become like an extension of my body. I can't drive anything else with the same confidence, not even my E46.
@@OGBemfa Ive had mine for like a month and i understand where your coming from, without all the tec like power steering and abs and stuff, its such a raw and nice driving experience. But would you say without the extra weight, that mine stock would slide too?
@@Dexter-vn9je Wait for the next time it rains. I remember the first day I drove my car home after buying it. It was pouring, and I took a corner I’d driven a hundred times before - but not in an E30. Thanks to the RWD and poor tires, the car started to slide, even though it only had 75 hp back then haha. So yes, a 320i should definitely be able to slide, especially in the wet!
The stock E30 rear suspension doesn't allow for camber and toe adjustment 🤷♂. Anyway, I'm not planning on making this a drift car, so no need for adjustments right now.
@@OGBemfa Ah thats a shame, changing toe is a real quick and cheap way to change your cars handling. I guess you could also try some really skinny tires on the back like your spare wheel, should be cheap and easy to find as well.
@@Tanmayx16 If I clutch kick it, the car will literally split in half 😂. The rear subframe bushings are shot, so the subframe shifts about an inch every time I do it. I really need to get that fixed.
having a e30 myself i think there cars dont need the use of handbrake when trying to drift for example my 318i will drift with just a fast clutch kick and a quick turn of the steering wheel(completly stock without removing any weight)
What pressures did you put on the back? Just started watching but i know its going to be good as always. Edit: Bro says open diff is an excuse, its a veryyyyyyy understandable excuse, just by seeing that you are able to drift with it I have more expectation on drifting my E36 on dry when it gets finished!
@@OGBemfa oh okay, very cool! The 3.91 seems perfect for that car. I have a 325is with a 4.10 LSD and the gearing is awesome for backroads but definitely short for drifting.
@@ShakeNBlake509 Well it has an E36 engine and gearbox which means that the 5th gear is 1:1. That with a 3.91 diff is a bit short. Perfect on backroads but painful on highway. But I already have a 3.45 LSD sitting in my garage. I just have to rebuild it 😆.
I know, but when I did that off camera, I could feel the entire rear subframe jump up and down. The bushings are toast. I have to completely rebuild the rear subframe assembly, before I can start doing stuff like that 😆
@@OGBemfa oh man is it really that bad? i've havent tried to drift my z3 as I just got it but it has the same subframe as an e30. Is it the platform bad in general or is it cause of the bushings?
@@silvix3137 It's definitely just the bushings. I can tell because when I jacked up the car and set it on jack stands under the subframe, the entire subframe lifted by about an inch!
The 350mm size is perfect, and it looks great. However, I do find it a bit firm. The leather feels too thin, or maybe the rubber underneath is too hard. Compared to other racing wheels, I think it could be softer. It's also not very comfortable on the thumbs. I prefer the Montecarlo wheel from my friend's E36 much more, but this one does look good, haha. I might switch to the MT1 or MT2 steering wheel in the future, though.
@@OGBemfa Appreciate your feedback. Next time try 3.2 bar(47psi). The car is a little bit underpowered, so mounting an LSD with a final drive ratio 4.25 or 4.56 will help a lot. Or even an 4.88 will make the car more aggressive. Keep up the good work, bro.
@@OGBemfa People typically choose E36's for a drift car because of its ideal weight distribution. But that doesn't mean it ain't worth trying in an E30.
@@OGBemfa I mean that the e30 is now a classic car, not much parts are available so for me the best thing to do is enjoy in the mountains and save your car
@@TimSlee1 People choose E36s for drifting because they are cheaper and for a long time they were dirt cheap. E30 actually drifts easier because of the simpler rear suspension geometry.
@@OGBemfa thank you, and thanks for your humbleness, that you answer if someone asks, thats rare these days, nice some dudes still out there who are humble
