I have the Beauty, so here's the Beast

Great work! it looks fun.  How I see it, an E36 coupe is a better drift car option. When you go sliding backwards into a wall you can just continue on life as a ti. Starting out with a ti means your unintentional wall-tap mulligan has been used up.

just sayin

With the alignment it is pretty darty but it drives really nice. I need to get adjustable end links so I can connect the front swaybar too, since it seems the ones from BC are even too short to use at the height they set the coils at when shipping 

The exhaust is stupid loud (muffler delete with a cherry bomb to eliminate a little buzz) and it really resonates inside of the cabin with the sound deadening removed. Not to mention I don't have the radio code and also don't have the 5 sided tool to remove the radio and give the serial number to the dealer=( For some reason they don't have it logged under the VIN number...

I've driven worse hahah I was really surprised at how well it drove with the Stanley eye alignment hahaha

Awesome pics!!

[YoungCR]

Looking great! Can't wait to see this thing sent sideways

[Earl]

I just ordered tires a second ago so that should happen soon enough

I just realized that the gas filler door is in a different place on the ti.  Mind blown.  I guess it would be about in the tail light if it was the same as a coupe or sedan.

This is looking great Earl. Now lets go skid racing!

If anyone is bored this coming Saturday I'll be by my mum's doing the head gasket on this thing

Oh no's, it needs a head gasket?

[Earl]

Crisis may be averted. Pcv system might be the culprit

Atleast show the people pics from Rio bash my guy

[Earl]

I'm lazy haha

[Earl]

Somehow never posted this shot from my first drift day at the end of August

And here are the Rio Bash shots

The car held up really well and I'm super happy with how it performs for now. The big thing I want to change this winter is that the springs are too soft and allow for way too much body roll. As you can see, it rolls over enough at times where the sideskirts actually touch the ground. I just need to determine what springs I need to change to and then send the coilovers in to be revalved. I really just can't wait for more seat time next year

[Jdesign]

It looks really good. What coilovers do you have again? BC's?

[Earl]

Yessir BC's

Hit those rust spots with some red while your swapping coils!

[Earl]

Nah. Covering rust with paint has always looked worse to me than embracing the rust. With how much paint fade and clear coat peel this car has, it definitely fits the aesthetic

[Jdesign]

To each their own. From the pics it stands out like a monkey threw some poo at your wheel arches in disgust at your wheel fitment 

[Earl]

But in person the paint doesn't look anything like it does in the pics. Just paint over rust looks super half ass to me haha
