    Default E34 V12 drifter...

    This was posted on another forum I'm on - bit of a mish-mash of parts, but I'd still love a go!

    an e34 drift car ...not that strange you might think but check this spec list

    body 520i non sunroof very rare
    engine from 750i bmw (thanks to zoom motor sport)
    turbo transit clutch (Van)
    3.3 nissan patrol gearbox (4X4)
    live axle from toyota hiace (van)
    rear mounted rad
    weight 1280kg at first but getting lighter
    this video was done on 11 cylinders
    since then has gone down to 10 turned out tappets are pumping up solid tappets being made at the moment
    sitting at home also is a vortech supercharger for the car will be going on over winter hope to run 450 to 500 horspower

    the engine was one that my friend actually saved from being thrown away and then his employer kindly donated it to walton(the guy who owns, built and drives the e34)

    hes a 20year old dude so despite this car looking a little bit ropey in the video its actually pretty impressive, car looks much better painted now

    nice ghetto ass throttle linkage and intakes, ****er can drive though not sure what the point of more power would be, seems to do just fine for the purpose it's being used for

    from the firewall forward it's the same car as a e32, direct bolt in with the most annoying parts being you need to decide how to do the brakes, hydro boost in the stock location or build up the remote vacuum boost system from a v8 car, and you may need to move the abs pump to under the left headlight (where it is on a 750)

    It could really be something if he tidyied it up a bit and got rid of that oh-so-****ing-gay rear wing!!

    Some better resolution footage would be nice too...

    Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(

    And then...

    I like the throttle cable set up. Does way with the drive by wire.
