togate 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) im going to raise it to accommodate the wheels, theres still another inch and a half i can drop. im not building this to be a slab though. although coilovers make it alot easier + the handling is great.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 You will need to tighten up that sloppy BMW rear end man. And dont even bother drifting on the shitty viscous LSD's. Invest in a mechanical 1.5 or 2 way. It makes it so much more predictable. And with the BMW's being quite snappy in a slide you want them to be more predictable. Dont bother with the over priced 2jz. Go for a 2nd Gen 1jz. Usually alot cheaper. Make sure you look into where you should mount the motor to avoid unbalancing the front end. Last thing you want is an understeering pig. But the toyota motors are a good choice. A stock 1jz will make you enough power. You will also have to get some rear and front camber arms. Can you get them for E36? Brace her up too. Make the rear arms and subframe as hard mounted to the body as possible. Let me know if you want to borrow the gaurd roller. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zenetti 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 you won't need the 25mm spacers. no amount of guard rolling will make those wheels work with the spacers on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 you won't need the 25mm spacers. no amount of guard rolling will make those wheels work with the spacers on. I think you'll find they are 25mm "adaptors" (5x120 to 5x114) he is talking about. And will be a bit more than a 30mm guard "pulling" to fit the wheels, some serious chopping & welding will be needed. Will be watching with interest!!

togate 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) i want the wheels to stick out a bit, give it a JDM look. Looked at a 2nd gen 1jz today...not badly priced with 80,xxxks on the clock i may be leaning towards that. i have a r154 gearbox that i was going to use on my old chaser, so could be a good opportunity to use it now. yes i am going to be using 5x120 - 5x114 25mm adapters. will keep u guys posted.

Would have been a lot easier to run a 5 series offset wheel I agree re guard "pulling" - my quick guestimations suggest at least 50mm on the front. I too will be watching with interest!!

"a bit" will be an under statement LOL E36's typically run a +42 offset for 17x9's If you have +15 -25 gives -10 offset, that means the rim alone is sticking out 52mm (+tyres) Running stock E38 or E39 17x9's will stick out "quite a bit" if that is the look you are after Not trying to rain on your parade or anything, but there is extreme and EXTREME!!!
