SO..... with that out of the way I present to you......
Project Cuntpact: The POS Cuntpact That Feels Sorry For Itself
(FYI not restarting RP)
Before I start I'd like to say a few things to clear things up. Yes, I still have my MX5 and unfortunately its tucked away in a corner in my shop waiting for its owner to drop money into it... Due to lack of motivation to work on it and other priorities this wont see any roads soon.
Spoiler:
And the good ol driftslut E36.... She is still alive.... barely. On the last drift event my buddy and I missjudged a corner and smashed up the rear end perrty good. Bent the chassis, cracked the control-arms etc. Allthough it's fixable and will be fixed in the near future by my buddy. With help from our good friend sledgehammer the body will look somewhat like an E36 rear end again.

Okay now the new project. By now you should be able to figure out what the project is. If not I guess I should tell you. Its a 1993 BMW 316i Compact. Said to have 102 hp and 141 Nm of torque from factory. Not sure how much is left from this old beast but its slow....to be expected. Nonetheless its a fun car to drive. I was getting used to the 320i(Coupe) so driving with a chopped off rear end Cuntpact took some time to get used to but eventually got it down. At this current moment in time I've owned it for three weeks and been dailying it the entire time. Mostly to save me gas money because the old Chevy truck loves to carve out my wallet. Another reason is to get a feel for the car and scope out any issues it has. Here as some of them:
- Cracked exhaustmanifold
- High exhaust readings( probably caused by leakage)
- Right front indicator broken
- Bad shock-absorbers(leaking)
- Loss of power and torque in lower RPM range
So there is quite a few problems. I mean, what can you expect from a 22 year old car. Im still contemplating if I should fix all of them seeing as it's only gonna serve as a drift missile in the end. If I do end up fixing some of it, it will most likely be as cheap as possible. Allthough I got some upgrades in store for it. One of which is coilovers all around. I noticed my buddy had some TRM coilovers laying around so I might buy them from him. In terms of engine upgrades I will go for basic stuff. Open airfilter, bigger injectors, iridium plugs etc. For the interior im gonna strip as much as possible. Im gonna keep the front passenger seat for future ride alongs but carpet, rear seats and rooflining will most likely go. And an aftermarket steering wheel will go in. The basics pretty much. With this out of the way here it is.
There we have it in all its glory. This was right after I bought it. Drove it home, had no issues at all with it luckily.
The weekend after I bought it I headed out for my first drift event with it. Didnt expect much but managed to slide it farely good when I bumped up the tyre pressures. I borrowed some rims and tyres from my buddy along with some 20mm spacers for the front. Didnt bother with the back ones simply because they were so far gone I decided to shred them instead.
Spoiler:
Wheels fitted. Manly colour ftw!
One of the photographers snapped this photo of it sideways. It was up on a hill in case ur wondering.
There is more to come so stay tuned!
