Current crisis

I've been drifting for the past year and a half, and I've hit a crisis. My E36 325i is the perfect chassis, my baby, I've invested lots of time and money into her, she's got everything I need except the most important part: the engine. The OEM M50 is giving out, 2 bad cylinders (no compression) and she's weaker than ever, especially since the last time I took her out to the track, and I'd need to tear the engine apart, get it machined and put it back together, which equals to labor and money being spent, around 10k BRL at least (with forged internals already to handle a tad bit of boost). in the end, to make it a competitve drift car (I'll be running the statewide drift championship next year), would require me to put around 100k+ into her, even though she's my passion, I'm not sure I could afford that

But, an opportunity has showed up recently, a 350Z Single turbo, 150k BRL (but the thing is, I'd make a down payment of 50k and the rest would be split into 5/10k payments. IMPORTANT THING TO NOTICE, I AM NOT FINANCING IT, IT'S HOW WE DO IT HERE IN BRAZIL, WE EITHER PAY FULL PRICE UPFRONT OR SPLIT INTO PAYMENTS, WITHOUT THE BANK INTERFERING, THAT MEANS NO INTEREST, IT'S HOW I BOUGHT MY E36). My car is worth 100k, but to sell it quickly, I could do 80k and take the rest upon the Z, or somehow get a loan for the 50k (Only in this case the bank would be involved) and making the car pay itself off (by taking people to rides, it pays pretty well, It's what I've been doing with my E36 before) and keep both of them.

Should I trade in my absolute pride and joy, my most beloved possesion for a maybe? I love that beamer, but maybe sometimes, it's time to let her go and bring joy to someone else.

Also, I've missed a recent big opportunity, almost the same deal but for an S15 Silvia (300k, but offered for me at 250k) SR20 fully built motor, in the end, now this car is with a homie of mine's, and I've ridden along, that car is a beast. I fully regret not taking it, however, at the time I didn't have the money to afford that car if something broke, much less the wait of parts coming from Japan, the high cost maintenance, it just maybe wasn't for me.

My E36 is not stock, it has already fully adjustable drift suspension, a rollcage, buckets and more, so does that Z, it's got a lot of good parts and so did the Silvia, so I don't know what to do at this point in my life, maybe I should keep my E36 and just pull her over, just take her on an occasional drive until I have the money

Lost one at the auctions

1994

This car was impounded because it was used by criminals for drug trafficking and the chassis had been scrapped off and altered. However, it was up for 3200 min bid (630 USD), sold at 4900 (964 USD)

Wanted to save it and use it for parts too, but didn't have time to bid on it (when I saw it, there were only 30 minutes left)

How's the W202 chassis like for drifting?

Hey everyone, I have a few questions.

So first up, I've been drifting since March 2025, and I currently have a 325i E36 (M50 Single Vanos), which I need to open up the engine and repair (as currently, 2 out of the 6 piston rings are shot, leaving me with pretty much a 4 cylinder car), and it's very weak. However, it'll be a while and I need another drift car during the time I'm building my main car (with the best parts I can afford, which might put her into rest for a few months), so I've been thinking about the W202 C280, with the 2.8 M104 engine as my replacement, it's a pretty solid engine, but I don't know much about the W202 platform. E36s are on a rise since I started here in Brazil, with fewer cheap ones available, much less those with the non-Vanos M50. This W202 would be my "show car", to use in drift events and practice more, while my E36 would be my championship car. My current car has coilovers, a standalone Pandoo ECU, roll cage and more. The W202 would need it's wiring redone, but I can find some pretty good ones for cheap, around 20k BRL, where as good E36s, they've been selling all round for cheap, leaving only the more expensive "collector" units, for 50-60k for autos and 50-70k+ for manuals, which is right on the market, as since I got mine, is what they've been going for. I also need to do more research on the Merc, since I'm not entirely sure on how acessible performance parts are from Europe.

If anyone can let me know if they're a good handling chassis, I'd really apreciate it. Got one with shot wiring for 16k BRL right in my sights, and a few other ones from 20-30k, which used to be able to buy me a good auto E36 a while ago

Reminder that someone traded in an E30 M3 and an E34 M5 and not one, but TWO E28 M5s in the Cash for Clunkers program in 2009

While the E30's VIN is weird, since it shows the VIN of a 325i sedan however, it has been confirmed that at least one M3 E30 has been destroyed by the Cash for Clunkers program, the other ones by the VIN shown the following: 1991 E34 Schwarz II manufactured in October 2nd 1990, 1988 M5 Schwarz Avus, manufactured in June 27th 1987 and last, the other Schwarz Avus E28 M5, from September 28th 1987

Man, I almost popped a vein, then went into deep sadness from this

Um ano de Matilde!

Fala galera, tudo bem? Esse post é um pouco especial, pois vou falar da história da bichinha!

Tudo começou antes de mim, quando um amigo meu comprou esse carro! Na época, um outro amigo meu estava precisando pagar umas contas (e ele tinha muitas E36, e falou que poderia ser qualquer uma, automática), aí esse meu amigo comprou dele, ele ficou com ela por um tempo, depois, deu ela pra namorada dele (aí ela ganhou câmbio manual, a Pandoo e mais outras coisas), depois, terminaram e ele comprou ela de volta.

Aí depois disso, esse meu amigo vendeu pra outro amigo meu, que era o ex-dono dela. Meu amigo (e professor de drift) me ensinou a fazer drift nela, mesmo antes de ser minha (fiz drift pela primeira vez em Março), onde andei com ela sem ser minha até o dia 21 de Junho, onde negociei com ele umas parcelinhas e levei a Matilde pra casa, oficialmente minha, DUT assinado e tudo mais, paguei aproximadamente R$ 50.000,00

Daí, quando cheguei em casa, ela ainda tinha os vidros originais, aí meu cachorro comeu o banco concha! Porém, reformei o banco e deu tudo certo. Depois, fiz a gaiola e as bash-bar dela, essencial para a segurança no drift!

Logo depois, encostei o carro e levei pra fazer uma revisão geral, elétrica, mecânica e tudo mais, onde diversas correções foram feitas (aí sim ela nunca mais me deu problema), depois, andei um pouco mais com ela, vi que a geometria da suspensão não estava muito boa para o jeito que ando no drift e troquei as rodas 16" originais pelas Rodera MST 17x9 e refiz a geometria, que uso até hoje.

Por último, troquei a suspensão dela (eram coilovers originais BMW, remanufaturados que já estavam meio gastos) por uma suspensão novinha! Hoje em dia só me falta arrumar o teto solar ou colocar logo de vez um de carbono, colocar um kit ângulo com mais ângulo e fazer um freio de mão, além de turbinar ou fazer um swap de motor

Nunca venderia ela, amo esse carro e é uma sensação muito especial dirigir ela, seja na rua ou na pista!

1994 Honda Civic EJ1 found on Marketplace, 2000's tuning survivor

First three pics are 2006 vs currently

Was browsing Marketplace (looking for an actually affordable EJ1, here in Brazil, they used to cost 15-20 grand, now they cost upwards of 40, even for an auto), found this one, 1994 EJ1, Canadian (2HG is what the VIN starts with), EX, 19 grand. Honestly I thought of buying it, but this one would need too much money and labour to bring it back to it's former glory, listing is pending now (means owner has closed a deal but hasn't sold it yet)

Honda Civic EJ1 Tuner x tempo

Esse Honda Civic EJ1, EX, automático, me apareceu no Marketplace há uns dias atrás, já esse era o mesmo 20 anos antes de ter sofrido tudo o que sofreu, pensei em canelar e levar pra casa, mas tem muita coisa pra fazer

Achado no leilão da PF

325i E36 1994 manual de fábrica!

(Obs: VIN cadastrado no doc, apresentado no edital, não aparenta corresponder ao padrão de VIN das BMW, mas isso não aparece em nenhum lugar)

u/Background-Baby-9214 — 2 months ago

Achado de hoje: Citroën Xsara VTS

Infelizmente esse é o 1.8 16V e não o 2.0 16V, mas ainda assim uma baita lasanha/clássico moderno (e está subindo de preço cada dia mais)

Wandering about the next step on my project car.

So recently, I did all the upgrades I wanted to do to my E36, well... almost all of them.

I have a brand new suspension and a great set of rims that I love, yet know will come the most expensive part... engine tuning

I currently have an NA M50B25 single VANOS, and I'm stuck between three options to upgrade.

Option 1: Turbocharge the M50.

This is a good and reliable option, yet expensive. To build an M50 like it should be (forged internals, ARP head screws and so and so forth), the cost I'll have here in Brazil will be of +70-100k BRL (13800-20000 USD) including labor from my tuner (the best BMW engine builder in all of Brazil)

Option 2: LS swap. This would be good to keep the car NA and some power, as well as being a brand new engine. However I'll need to bring it to Brazil, pay taxes and all, which will be around the same price as the M50 and maybe the same power, but it'll be simpler and less demanding on maintenance.

Option 3: 1JZ/2JZ swap: Will be cheaper, but engine will need to be brought from Japan and all, not many parts for the JZ family in Brazil since the only car that had this engine here was the Lexus GS300 (we had the SC400 but only with the 1UZ). Overall a good choice for value but still a bit unsure.

I'm more in between the first two options, but still haven't decided anything.

Passando vontade no Facebook Marketplace

Queria comprar essa aí, kit M, com as rodas throwing star da M5, inteirinha, já com câmbio manual

Ou essa 328i Touring que apareceu por 30 mil reais

Ou ainda essa outra 325i placa preta

Ou também essa 328i E46

Enfm, ainda bem que o banco não financia carro velho, se não já tava lascado 😂

Eu odeio o DETRAN

Como dono de um carro modificado (um tanto quanto famoso aqui no Reddit), venho expressar minha reclamação à esse orgão do governo.

Tudo é extremamente burocrático. Perto da virada do ano, chegou uma multa que havia tomado em outubro. Para legalizar qualquer tipo de alteração no veículo "legalmente", tem que entrar com pedido de autorização prévia, fazer vistoria e é daí pra baixo. Fora que, nas abordagens policiais, sempre vão querer levar seu carro embora para o pátio, te encarando como um marginal, um rachador. Aí você perde aquele tempo precioso tentando falar com o policial ou pior, tem que resgatar seu carro no pátio do DETRAN, muitas vezes faltando peças. Nunca tive esse infortúnio, mas vários dos meus amigos já passaram por isso.

Meu carro tem documento em dia, emplacado, licenciamento pago e tudo mais.

Se você tem que fazer algo, pode ter certeza que vai ser caro e burocrático. Além disso, tudo depende das resoluções do CONTRAN, que é uma porcaria. Posso assegurar que causa mais males do que bens na vida da população geral.
