Wow!

very cool to see both cars matching/together and drifting in tandem. Im not saying you guys should marry eachother but if you did i’d totally get it.

Hahaha that was our idea is having them look similar yet different.

I have sound!!! I can't believe I haven't made it out there yet to watch you guys shred.

The cars look so good together.

So good 

[Tkuhn]

Not much new with the car as of now. Replaced the left axle again before DD76. Which was due to my own dumbassery, the outer joint was leaking grease from me using a persuader tonget it in the hub against my better judgement, and the cup bent allowing the grease to escape. 

Anywayssss. 

The event went well, my first few runs I thought I heard a clunking in the rear end but it was inconsistent and ended up being my 2x4 e-brake and a beer cap ‍️

Also @Sam_Holzmann and I finally touched tips, which was bound to happen with how close we get to eachother. Luckily there was no major damage. My bumper ejecto-ed as designed (3 small zip ties with the intent to break under pressure and then my bash bar bent in a bit. Which was easily bent back.

@Jdesign was in Sam's car when it happened even

Here's a pic of the "damage" the bash bar was already bent back before this pic.

And a full rack of burnt tires from both sam and i.

And a few pics from media!

But then there was the same black marks on Sams E30....

does the plastic bumper under the white vinyl wrap on the e46 happen to be black?

Doesnt look like it. Also there were no markings or scuffs deep enough that went through the wrap that it would have been caused by the bumper. It was the most gentle "bump" from inside the car. My best guess is that the back is actually the wrap "burned" from the friction causing it to turn black.

[straight6pwr]

in that case the only logical answer is
