Hello,im obviously new to the site....but not new to fast cars.I've had a built 3000GT VR4 with 19t's,a few BMWs,and in my teenage years small block muscle cars. Right now i have an 89 BMW E30 325iS on coilovers with camber plates and when finished will be a 100% track purpose drift car.The car used to be turbo'd but took it off to increase reliability until i bought a new car.It will be going to Kevin Kreisa at DTR Performance in Florence,KY to be reinforced,caged,and motor swapped to a M50 (E36/E39 inline 6) with a GT35 on the side....as soon as i stop buying parts for this new car i am addicted to.

 

The new car,which i bought a little over a week ago,is a 97 Trans Am WS6 6speed with 72k miles. Current list of parts is K&N in the ram air box,6puck stage 3 clutch,Hurst shifter,MSD,headers,ypipe,borla catback,cc503 cam.I also now have C5 Corvette wheels on the car (pita to fit the rears). The fronts are 17x9.5s and the rears are 18x10.5s.

 

I have 30lb injectors to put in once i get the Edelbrock Performer intake mani,58mm throttle body and LT4 heads.

 

......but i may just throw money at the E30 to get it ready for drifting this summer,i havent decided yet.

Welcome to the site!

 

As a former LT1 Corvette owner, I would suggest focusing your money on the BMW. That's a nice mod roster for the WS6; I'd stop there.

 

That is a good mod list, I'm not a fan of the Edelbrock manifold or the LT4 heads. You can have the stock manifold ported and powdercoated for less than the edelbrock. If you want heads I would hit up Lloyd Elliot before I would do LT4s. Just my $.02 you didn't ask for. :)
