Quick background check...
Ive always owned rwd cars and always fancied myself as a "drifter"... Started going to events 4 years ago through the sxoc ran crail drift events... At this time i realised i had alot to learn...
Back then I had a s14a which i had spent ALOT of money on, mainly in labour costs... I always keep reciepts and was knocking on £20k! It was stage3a, 350hp, and NOT the car to be learning in...
Was counter productive, scared to push incase i damaged it... So sold it... Bought it back and ended up spending more on it with wide arches and carbon. Drifting called again, and again i was holding back so sold it again. Shame, as it was a beautiful car. Always wished i had done a build thread, so making sure I start one for this build.
Ended up buying a £350 e36 328i to learn in. Best thing i ever did. Driving under powered and a cheap car taught me loads about drifting and i got a tool box and learned to work and build it myself. Had a strict £2k build budget and made an old shit e36 in to a great spec learner car... Ultimatly i thought the grass was greener on the other side and wanted fancy jap toys back. I took the car to a missle event and smashed it up to break for parts. I miss this car and is still one of the most reliable fun cars Ive ever owned...
Next up came my dream car... An R34 in my favoured colour yellow. GTT manual in rare yellow. Had a max budget of £8k to buy and build and achieved with loads to spare (alwas set budgets or spending gets outta hand!). Super cool car but heavy and too nice to smash up (loads of close ones, check the video below!)... Done about 20 track days over year and was a great daily, but i fancied a car i could abuse again and afford to fix if things go bang (rb25 neos aint cheap!), so sold it last month.
