Plus a bonus un-stremtch'd Hades because he would commit murder

*not my cat

I'm looking for a good deal on an E46 to turn into a drift missile and in the mean time I'm putting together a build sheet (mostly because I'm antsy to get started).

Any feedback in terms of changing brands/parts, different order in the phases, or things I'm missing / don't need is appreciated. Depending on budget Phase zero and Phase I might be combined but the the rest will likely be next summer. (all prices are in CAD$ for new parts but I will definitely try to snag some of them used where/when possible)

P.S. keep in mind it's going to be my first dedicated drift car / project build so I'm real green to this. (my fiancé is tired of how quickly the [expensive] tires go on our daily so I now get a drift missile)

What does Titi even know about ram shortages!? (Well she's Korean so maybe a thing or two)

Does young master Hades get a Boop or a Ban!?

Yes yes it's long as a shlong... I like cars man what can I say!

​

​

It was at an event pissing rain on a go kart track (which was slippy as all get out) and my brake pedal went to the floor as I approached the first corner... Nearly shit myself but finished the run and got a tow. I'm just glad it didn't happen on the highway on my way there. Not sure what happened but it was pissing out the brake fluid from somewhere.

One day I will become a dragon with a hearty treasure chest full of riches but this is my humble beginning.

​

Also, yes I know a bunch of them have tons of toning but my dumbass didn't realize I should handle my silver and leave it out in the open air. I have now learned my lesson.

My two options are the following:

Bone stock 2020 BMW M4

Heavily modded 2015 Audi RS5

Mods

- 034Motorsport Dynamic+ Adjustable Rear Sway Bar End Link Kit

- KW Coilover Kit V1

- 034 Motorsport Density Line Adjustable Upper Control Arm Kit, Camber Correcting

- 034 Motorsport Adjustable Solid Rear Sway Bar

- ESC RS5 Center X-Pipe Kit

- 034Motorsport Dynamic+Flush Wheel Spacer Kit (15mm front 10mm rear)

The idea behind modding the RS5 was specifically to use it for days like this because with the Quattro it will still put down the power and not struggle at all in the weather. However, there's a little fucking demon inside of me that will always choose the M4 (especially now that I have spent the last 12 months absolutely shredding up tires getting really good at drifting it). Part of me wants to feed that little demon but another part of me fears that this is what I will do every time it rains and now I did all of those mods for no reason...

To be clear, it's a test in tune so my times don't matter and in general I'm not going there to compete. Neither car is particularly competitive if my goal was times I would just buy a Miot. I'm just a humble streeto guy getting my feets wet with autocross for funsies.

I need some help nailing down my alignment specs for autocross. I am taking it to the shop tomorrow to dial it in and he asked me to tell him exactly what I want since I'm not going with the stock settings. I hate AI and I know it's wrong more often than not (especially with technical stuff like this) but I got recommendations from the big ones and there seems to be somewhat of a consensus. However, I want some real human validation to be sure this isn't absolute ass settings.

My car is a modded 2015 Audi RS5 and all of the mods and recommended specs are listed in the picture. If there's any other info y'all need please ask.

I also included a picture from last year's autox for your enjoyment!
