Video Build Thread - E36 Drift Car

[Honzecruze]

Hey hows it going! The names Jake and Im from northern California. Thought I would make a build thread that was primarily containing videos. I like the traditional build thread style but I thought it would be fun and different to just do videos.
So I am still getting use to talking in front of the camera (still feels a little awkward) but let me know what I can improve on, and other than that just sit back and enjoy the videos.
Thanks for watching!

I like the concept of this build thread! :) sub'd keep it up man.

[PowerKraut]

Sub'd as well. Taking videos is cool, sounds like a nice projec. Hard to capture all the progress by filming though, unless you got your cam running 24/7.

Why did you choose a sedan over a coupe for drifting?

Thanks guys! Not to be a total noob here, but what is "Sub'b" idk what that means. But as for the 4 door question. Its kinda a long story, but Basically I bought this car to part out, Because it was only $900 and not running because of a wiring issue. And because of a really weird situation I basically had to hot wire it and steal it out of the guys driveway (but it wasn't really stealing because I already owned it lol) Basicly after we hotwired it we found out it ran really good, so I figured I would run with it. There was a event coming up so i just welded the dif and started driving it. And ya thats basically how it happened, I didn't really choses a 4 door its just kinda what I had. And Honestly I like the 4 door look. I think they look just as good as the 2 door, in its own way.

Loving the video updates! Any video of the skids?

[Honzecruze]

Here is a old video on how I would start the car lol. Basically the guy fried some wires when he replaced the headliner, then he tried to replace stuff and made it worse. So when me and julian got there we bypassed the ignition and it worked!

So I was on my way to the track, all geared up to shoot some footage of me drifting, when driver side knuckle broke. Basicly I have been driving around with super unbalanced front tires. I was waiting to balance them when I got new tires, and I was waiting and saving to buy nice ones. So it kinda got put off for a bit. I really didn't think the shaking was that bad, but I guess I learned my lesson. Anyways I got towed home, and we rebuilt them that night. We made them so I have almost no akerman (feels alot better) and my tires will be here in a couple days. So I should have some awesome drifting footage for you guys soon!

Hey its been a while since I did an update, but basicly it has been on jackstands in my garage for the last month and a half. Pretty much nothing cool has happened to my car, just unfortunate maintenance stuff. So ya the update is not too exciting but take a look if you want to kill 5 min.
