Another Diesel Drifter, maybe not to the extremes as the merc build but still a slider..


After getting my 320d I decided I couldnt have a rwd without feeding my craving for sideways, and not wanting to abuse my new one I had to get another one that i could go mental with. Feeding my hatred for sparkplugs and love of german machines a 325TDS was the obvious choice. Owly went parts with me on this project.

2.5L turbo Diesel, 6Cyl giving out 140Hp & plenty of torque. The bosch pumps in these are electric controlled & I can work Black Magic on these







got it jacked up & checking all the bushings in the back, all seem nice & solid. Rear Left wheel bearing is fucked tho had it out to 155MPH up on the axle stands


up to the front then, power steering pump im not so sure about, so ill probably flush the system & see. Fan belt tensioner is a bit stiff aswell so ill open it up & see.

front mount intercooler & hosing & that seem in good nick so thats good.

feeling the clutch is going to give up soon enough owly already managed to get it slipping. Especially when I get this throwing out some daecent power figures pluming black smoke. looks easy enough to get the gearbox out so happy about that.

wishbone bushes are grand, not so sure about the balljoints tho.



will be fitting a Hydraulic handbrake & maybe even a biasing valve. welding the diff, lower it a bit with harder springs to sharpen the handling, clean out the air intake & EGR block, turning it up until theres nothing but Pure Pollution coming out the back, decat & maybe twin exhausts or a side exit.
