    Default e36 m3 will it wont it become my new track car???

    last year i bought a rusty 328i for cheaps just to get me started doin practice days

    done the basics

    - lowered it
    -modified wishbones and hubs
    - changed diff ratio 2.9-1 ish to 3,6-1 ish
    - gutted it etc
    -straight through exhaust


    car served me well but thought it was time to upgrade to somthing a bit more solid and faster





    so after hasseling every one with an m3 drift car on this site to sell it i finally settled on this today

    has to be the cleanest m3 / e36 ive ever seen

    original irish car

    but now im wondering if its to clean to track and would it be a shame to destroy such a clean example










    if this is becoming a drift car i will be looking for

    coilovers
    medium case open diff
    4.1 188mm cwp
    2.1 steering quickener
    17" wheels
    fan cowling

    and for sale will be
    the 18"s it currently sits on
    vadar interior
    m3 lsd
    3 spoke non airbag steering wheel

    Pics taken in Mallow?

    Anyway,
    If it's really really good I personally wouldn't drift it.
    Look at all the 180s/Skylines etc... drifted/broken in the last few years and how hard it is to find a straight one now.

    The E36 are going the same way, A lot being welded up and diffed or turned into drifters/track cars and eventually stripped for parts.

    They'll be rare in a few years and a nice M3 will be very hard to find especially an original Irish car.

    Im from mayo myself, the car was bought in glanmire and the picture of the car on the trailer was taken in mallow i think

    I hear what your sayin about m3s becoming rare, i might just make a space for it in the corner of the shed

    Well wear Conor. She does look clean. Park it up and borrow the engine for the 328. You could rebuild it and put it back in if they went up in price.
