Its my old E36 325i racing car. I had it out last year and roasted the engine,so i removed it and started to rebuild it,then lost interest as the racing at the events withered away. I then knew it had to be a driftcar and went looking for a 2jz,but over time realised it would be hugely expensive and i didnt want to just jump on the JZ conversion bandwagon,so i bought this 5Litre Ford thingy...

It is supposed to have around 340bhp and 400lb/ft of torque,has a lightened and balanced bottom end,minor headwork,a fast road-ish cam,Edlebrock Performer RPM dual plane inlet manifold, and has an absolutly merjassive carb,thats a 15" wheel its sitting on!!...
