  • My BMW E30 325IX was all wheel drive not too long ago, and with that being said it needs some work before it can hang in drift events.

    Angle kit = welder
    Diff drain plug = welder
    Valve lash check = welder
    Replace trans mount = welder
    Replace master cylinder = welder
    You truly are a master of this craft.

    Bro, you are hysterical. 😂 I can almost remember back when I had the desire to do projects like this.
    I had a 340 Challenger just out of high school (44 years ago 😮) I didn't have any money for high performance parts, so I did stuff like changing power steering to manual, just to shave a few pounds and reduce parasitic drag from the power steering pump. Another one was the alternator cut out switch, used during a race. I was under the hood a lot, at night, so I installed a big light under the hood controlled by a dash mounted switch. I had opened up the nonfunctional factory hood scoops and sometimes would forget to turn the light off and be cruising the scene with my illuminated nostrils, lol. Maybe, I was ahead of my time as stuff like that is all the rage nowadays.
    About exhaust headers. In high school(48 years ago 😢) I had a Charger. I put headers on that thing and it ran really well. The problem with them was on my car, the headers on the driver's side, hung down a bit low and I kept banging them on stuff until one tube was practically smashed flat. I always thought about that and worried about how much power I could be losing from it. Whatever, it's ancient history now. But, here's my point. On the show Engine Masters with David Freiburger, a show dedicated to dynamic testing motors. On one episode, he was trying to dimple one tube for clearance, but ended up smashing it almost completely flat(like mine) and, son of a gun, it didn't change the HP not one single HP! He freaked. I freaked. No one had an answer for that.
    Anyways, I enjoy your channel. Right now, my current task on my project Ridiculous 4X4 RC monster truck, I'm looking to lengthen my wheelbase with sections of another set of frame rails. Fun, fun, till the looney bin takes me awaaaay 😂

    Love this. I know you have a big cam and it's lazy below 4500rpm....but am I crazy in thinking a supercharger kit would pair really well here? The absolute cheapest one you can find, maybe one off of a GMV6 or the Cobalts. It'd help with low end grunt, and you wouldn't have to mess with the exhaust. Would be entertaining to see too. Just a thought.

      I meant to add a comparison but I kind of forgot, All I can say is it's a LOT more. in the intro where the car is in the parking lot I think the wheels were at full lock, and you can see they weren't turned far at all.

    Haters Garage: Those BM Trouble You spindle- knuckles are actually drop forged. Near molten piece of rectangular/ round stock is put in 1 or 2 presses and smashed into shape. My Peugeot 505: wagon has a drop forged steel engine crossmember and front suspension control arms. Drop forging is very strong yet flexible unlike cast nodular iron or cast steel which is brittle.

    Hwy dude I really love your videos, I know this is the wrong video to sort of post in but I have a 4 cylinder exhaust. I have an idea that I tested on my subaru but was off a bit. I wanted to make a 4 cylinder that sounds like a single bank of a v8. my theory was to use offset in exhaust lengths to delay pulses to mimick the firing order of a v8. where I went wrong I think is that I didn't have enough offset in my crossover pipe. I'll post a video on my channel. Is there any way I can send you the diagram I made, I think you will like it
