very true.. ^^^ hadnt thought of that but 2/4dr m3 skirts are bolt ons to the ti so it has to be.

i have been drifting for nearly 10 yrs, driving anything from miatas to corollas to s13s to my gs300 for 7yrs alone. its all in how you set it up. i'm expecting the ti to be twitchy with almost zero rear overhang, but will counter it by sitting the engine as deep and far toward center as plausible, also it will basically be built on corner weight scales to be as neutral as possible before the suspension... then i can dial the handling as it suits my driving style.

that and some nice meaty negative offset 17x10 inchers out back should make it easier to tame by widening the track.

i also saved the front knuckles off my 318i so i can play around with extended steering angle. same with the rack.. which i thought i read somewhere that the sedan has shorter lock to lock.. similar to the 95 m3.. but if not i have a spare rack anyway just in case something happens.

once i get back to school and work out a schedule i'll be able to get started.
