My 95 Hatch introduction

[e36Gabe]

hey guys my names Gabe and im new to bimmerforums, even tho ive been reading these threads for like 3 years now. So I just bought myself a 1995 318ti this is my 2nd e36 I used to have a black 328i but vanos was too much of a headache so i picked up this bad boy because I couldnt walk away from the bimmer life, It has 130k on it had cooling system all refreshed, it sits pretty on 1 piece e34 BBS style 5s (which im getting refinished and my missing center cap is already in the mail coming to me) lowered on the red raceland coil setup, the rear is maxed out and I havent messed w the front supsenion cause the hood latch is broken and I want to be able to access the strut tower before I mess with it (hood pins are coming in so I can just take the latch off) as you can see its been in a little altercation with another car on the driver door, its got some rust on the side skirts and the rear driver wheel well but nothing too bad shes also really scratched up but thats what I love about it its so bad looking with some good aspects. The plan for this car is to drift it, Ive fell in love with the Japanese drift scene when I was younger and am still stuck on it, my whole idea is if a ae86 and miata can drift so can my 1.9 hatch <3, Im planning to fix up the front camber and run -4 and lower the rear a little more so it can tuck. I also plan on doing a hydro setup (no not because im a kenblock fan boy) because my ebrake is all messed up so why not throw it in there while I rehaul it, Im planning to do a e46 brake setup but I gotta figure what wheels first, other than that just little stuff like bucket seats harness new stearing wheel and temp gauges cause i dont want it blowing up too fast. So far for the past 2 weeks its been great to me no issues at all I hope I can keep it like this and be able to thrash it this summer at all the drift events
