    Question- how should I effectively take my radiator core support off? Hack it off? Mine is kind of bent, so I at least have to build the bottom part custom. Hopefully my front end comes together and lines up...

    I cut the middle section out first, leaving only the 4 corners. Then from there it's just drilling out tack welds. My lower part was so rusted that I couldn't even find the tack welds, so I just used an impact chisel on the seams. The tops where the fenders sit on was easy, but the lower parts were kind of a pain. I pretty much hacked the bottom ones off. Because drift car.

    When you pick up those motor mount arms you're welcome to swing by and check it out.

      The m50 runs, but it's leaking oil from the front of the head

                      Is there any other kind of drifting?  If you dont hate everything while drifting, youre doing it wrong.

                        Ive also been watching my favorite drift videos to get me pumped.  The e30/e36 in this one are so sick. 

                        If the head situation is fine, it just may come off the lift for the first time in 4 months.

                                    I blame autocorrect.

                                    oh jake, any progress on the leakiness? 

                                    did you end up using arp specs?

                                      That video's rad as shit. I've seen it before. I've also seen that E36 before, but not sure where.

                                        Theres a video of an e46 doing a roundabout a couple times with the exact same color scheme, who is also from the same team as the e36, which might be what youre thinking of?  But yeah, the whole JBB channel is filled with sweet foreign drift footage.

                                        Also, Jeff and his lady stopped by for a bit while torquing the head to ARP specs and the head no longer leaks :)

                                        Good guy Jeff is always down to help.
