How much does your car weigh?
This is my signature....

2650-2700 ish. I weighed it awhile back and it was 2640 with a 1/2 tank of fuel. I'd say it's probably 2700-2750 lbs with a full tank of fuel right now. I'll put it on the scale again soon.

On your fuel tank lines update, I'm a bit confused on what you did with the large vent line, where your fuel return goes and how do you get fuel from the drivers side to the passenger side?

Did another event this weekend with Lonestar Drift. It was a combo practice day / teaching event for newer drivers.
Here is a video from a passenger cam of a lap on Saturday's layout:
It was a blast! Most of the event it rained, so there was almost no tire wear all weekend and I was able to drive a ton. I checked the fluids saturday morning, and didn't open the hood again all weekend!

More video - The Lonestar Drift 2017 season starts next weekend, so expect a bunch more content soon!
I am in love with this thing all over again! It is working so well right now. I'm really really pleased with it.

Dude, you're an internet sensation!
Question for you, I notice you don't just let the wheel spin via self-steer like the S-chassis guys seem to do. Is that something about the E36 chassis, or just your personal preference?

E36's don't seem to self steer nearly as much as the S-chassis do, so I just have to deliberately point it where I want to go.

This is an 8374 1.05 A/R at 25psi on E85. I have run it at 30psi but it broke 3rd gear the first event I tried. The powerband is awesome.

Have you dynoed it? Do you have boost creep issues?

Have not been on the dyno since the swap to the 8374. I'm not sure it creeps necessarily, it just runs way more boost than what the Tial spring colors suggest it should. I have 1 bar springs and it hits 25psi, but it does it everywhere, not just up top as RPMs increase.

I've only weighed it years ago and it was 2660 with 1/2 tank of fuel and no driver. I think It's probably 2750-2800 lbs with a full tank of fuel.
Thanks!

Is your cage tied into the rear subframe mounting points? Pics of back half of your cage please.

Yes it is, all 4 subframe points as well as the RTAB pockets and rear shock towers. I'll shoot some tomorrow for you.

Man that looks like so much fun! One thing I noticed was that your car doesn’t self steer? Is there a reason for this?

This was discussed quite a bit in a thread in the drifting forum, and I was really interested in the topic at the time. After riding in the car though, I have to say that I didn't notice anything odd at all. Mike and the car are total animals, and the car seems to behave ridiculously well considering all of the mayhem that is happening.

Yeah I’m sure it’s fine for his driving lol, I just mentioned it because it looks like a handful sometimes!
