Me in the orange Mini Cooper SD and Ryan in the F21 125D in that last session. We have some onboard of you going past but it's overexposed! Rich is the GT3 RS has been sent this as well
Looked quick out of the corners that cooper sd, some potential there! I follow both channels, nice to see you guys actually using the cars you build rather than just looking at them!
Absolutely awesome........... The flame show from the M3 is sensational to watch. The battle with the GT3 was exhilarating to watch as well, a bit more grunt under the M3’s bonnet and you’d have got past him, super driving by both drivers though. Made my Christmas Day this has.
@@driftworks Keep them rolling Phil, M3 vs GT3 was epic, best UA-cam cam footage in a long time. After surviving a serious road accident as a passenger in a Noble M12 GTO that I was lucky to walk away from physically but mentally scared with PTSD for life. You guys are restoring my petrol head passion. Talk about therapy 👍 Driftworks ❤️❤️❤️
You can see from the onboard that it’s handles just beautifully, what a wonderful thing it is👌 Can’t wait for you to get the down shift sorted and start to push even harder... Thanks for all the content this year loved all the vids 🤛
Man what a combo, RS6 towing an E30 M3 😍 + you can tell by the video how comfortable and happy you are driving it, goes mega by the looks of it 🔥 Merry Christmas y'all!
My home track! (They always are on it with the noise restrictions there) Nice driving, stuck to that gt3 rs pretty easily. Gotta say I’m surprised you haven’t completely melted that rear bumper yet!! 😂
Merry Christmas. Thanks for the brilliant content this year. Always look forward to your videos. This channel is a massive credit to UA-cam. Entertaining,educational and funny. You guys smash it 👊🏻
Lovely built track car! Nice driving too. The channel didn’t caught my attention at first because I’m about track days and not drifting, but now I got it. Liked and subscribed!
I must say what a beautiful piece of engineering is the 991 gt3 rs. You really don't need anything else. You go with it to a track day, you are rewarding with fast lap time when you have good driving skills then you go back home with the same car
I’m not sure what I’m more impressed by, the old E30 (I own one btw) hanging with a modern “super car” or the (presumably) stock GT3RS that flies around the track as fast a “racecar” and to the shops just as well. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks Brent. My GT3 is one of my favourite cars. Like you say, it can fly around a race track all day & then do the shopping. Mine is my current daily driver so does a lot more shopping than tracking at the mo.
@only only The E30 isn't that far away from a GT3RS in terms of creature comforts. It's just lacking a stereo, aircon and carpets. My GT3 is only slightly more comfortable than the E30 and I'd actually say it's a harsher ride.
@@moneyparhar I speak from experience when I say you can’t just gut an E30 and throw a ton of power at it and go fast. It takes a lot more than that when you’re running 40 year suspension technology. The E30 rear trailing arm setup is not great. Likewise, Porsche has has spent 60 years perfecting the “engine in the back” thing. Two very different animals dueling on the same level, pretty cool if you ask me.
Happy xmas Driftworks! great vid, I bet that last session absolutely destroyed any lingering thoughts of joining the 200BHP FWD club when you decimated all of them in about half a lap, looks like its juuust the right side of lairy handling wise too, weapon!
That E30 M3 is probably the most beautiful and beast of a trackday car ever built. It is cool to see you Hammering it around the track just eating and spitting out everything. Id be careful of the Red Mist when getting around the cars like that GT3 RS,as its all in good fun there is no prize. Maybe put some aluminum foil over that rear bumper cover unless it is already melted. It must be an absolute Hoot to drive that thing,damn awesome!
Thanks man! Don't worry, there's no red mist. Trackdays are just for fun, and that's as close as I'd want to get to someone I don't know. If it was one of my friends it'd be a little different as we all know each other, but that guy doesn't know me or my car.
This thing is one of the coolest builds in the world in a while..Love the mesh between looks and modern technology. Great job Phil! Looking forward to seeing more progress🤘🏼
You've built a proper weapon there Phil, could here the locking of the wheels on the early bumper footage. To see a GT3 squirm trying to get away and the E30 rock solid, it can only get quicker!
Phil - that’s awesome 👏 Merry Christmas buddy ! Watching this build and especially seeing it kicking butt on the track made me grin from ear to ear ! Hoping to take mine out to a track in 2021, she’s been sleeping far too long ! Cheers 🍻
Merry Christmas! Q - How come you're always holding up against the rev limiter before changing gears (only 9min into the vid, (9:17 for an example) apologies if you explain later).
Happy new new to the driftworks team, Craigs lot included. Thanks for helping keep me semi sane this weird year with all your videos, loved them all! Got given a trackday at cadwell in February for christmas off my lad.......getting nervous already 😂 I've done a couple on bikes but not in a car 😬🤞🏼
Box is really getting there isn't it, kept the faith there where many others (myself included) would have jacked it in for a motorsport box. What is the blip strategy done on, simple timed blip? Wonder if it can be done stage like the GT3 PDK that kinda blips into a rev limit, they kinda go whaa-bap-bap on the big downshifts.
Awesome to see the car smashing some solid laps. Looks amazing. Can’t wait to do another track day, I’m the same done more last year than the previous 5 years put together 😂
Hi Phil, can I ask what management you are on because I am currently collecting the parts and adapter etc to do the DCT conversion and I currently run a Link Fury but Link dont currently support DCT however I know MaxxECU do support it as standard and you can even use the stock BMW gearbox ECU, I have looked at the HTG control unit but wasnt sure if thats somehow able to talk to the Link ECU and overcome the issue? Thanks
Get a little taller ratio diff to check that lock up on downshift and you would go faster on the straights, you still have the HP to keep it in the power band.
Great video, fella! Amazing project, only learned about it now, going to have a peek through some of your other videos. I think the ECU coolant temp limit is a must have, and 106°C seems a little high IMO. Ideally it should be max 90°C, but 90-100°C is normal. I would set 100°C as the limit and check why temps are creeping up above this value, just to be safe. Have a great New Year's eve!
Thanks, I actually need to check the scaling of the water temp sensor. I previously had issues with the oil temp sensors, so there's a good chance this one needs calibrating too.
@@driftworks it's so much more than the engine swap agreed, the level of engineering is very impressive. However a similar engine & trans swap would be ideal for my street E30 I wouldn't take it this far. Love the work keep up the content mate 👍
Hahaha, that shot of the RS6 pulling out the e30... Drift Wealth for the win! :D But in all seriousnes, the dopest combo out there. Maybe a turbo straight six-equipped would be my ideal setup, but still... Rolling with class lads
That was exactly what I was thinking about doing to my 182 as I hated the engine in it tbh, a k20 would be great in 1 I think. Then I finally seen sense and sold it lol
Wow.. Just had to google to check didn’t realise A6’s have a 2000kg brakes towing capacity! Nice. Might wanna secure the load behind you in the car though... It’s painful if you come to a very sudden unplanned stop, and the stuff behind you doesn’t. I tend to do the seatbelts on the back seats up if there’s anything heavy in the boot.
@@driftworks Phew! Owner at the last place I worked at flipped his mustang 5.0 through a dry stone wall, and he had a pretty bad concussion and a swollen black eye just from his laptop bag flying up to say hi from his passenger footwell 😳😂
Resting the camera on the wing of your GT3, to film your RS6 tow your V8 E30 M3 out of the workshop is the biggest flex of 2020.
🤘
3:35 that camera view is the best, it's like a computer game! Merry Christmas all at Driftworks and thanks for all the videos this year :)
Thanks man!
This is what I was commenting on in the last track day with the e30, that is how the DCT should be! Top job lads. Merry Christmas.
Cheers man!
V8 mapping is 100% spot on, love the cylinder cooling on downshifts. It's more than a match for the RS!!! Merry Christmas DW
Thanks man. Merry Christmas.
Thanks for the Christmas present driftworks in the form of this video. Merry Christmas to you all
No worries. Merry Christmas

Great to see you guys out there! Apologies for the slightly aggressive overtake on the Mini at one point 👍
@@driftworks we get told off for it all the time, as long as no paintwork is exchanged it's a clean move!
@@driftworks glad the first spin is in there like you said, haha
Can’t help feel a DTM style wrap would make this dreamy E30 look even better!
I'm not a big fan of stickers. Clean is always the way.
@@driftworks you guys are awesome btw, keep up the content please!
Happy Christmas! Thanks for the entertainment throughout the year!

What a gift, Driftworks vid Christmas day, cheers all.
👍 Cheers
this is a good Christmas treat thanks guys @driftworks, Merry Christmas to you

Seeing fire erupt from the exhaust really enhances the presence of that e30.
I hope we get to see many more track days with that gem of a build!
🤘 Thanks man
Merry Xmas lads.
That interior camera angle is perfect.
👍 Cheers
Great driving , love those slides all over the track . Looks great 👍

made my Sunday at work seeing you all drive past me in the lorry on the M42.
🤘Awesome.

Cheers 🍻
Thanks man! Merry Christmas 👍
i like the super wide angle :) makes it look more chill
👍
You've build an awesome car! Must be an experience every time you drive it! Could have watched you race that gt3rs for the whole video!
Thanks man!
Gt3 rs had amazing corner exit speed and traction but then again you are down on power almost 100HP. Nice driving
🤘
Merry Christmas! Q - How come you're always holding up against the rev limiter before changing gears (only 9min into the vid, (9:17 for an example) apologies if you explain later).
It's just mistimed shifting. It's such close ratios it's quite difficult to get right every time.
Mega! Those flames are hilarious 🤣
Merry Christmas guys. Keep up the great content. 👍
Merry Christmas Matt. Cheers 👍
The induction noise when you switch to bumper cam chasing in the gt3 is brilliant.
The best sound and engine can make imo. Had goose bumps the whole time :D
Edit: some words added
😎
E30 flame thrower 💥 great to see the DCT doing what its supposed to do . Happy Christmas 🎄
Thanks man. 🤘
merry christmas guys, thanks for all the content. and oh my that e30!
any chance youre taking it to the ring next season?
Thanks man.
I'd love to get it over to the Ring next year, but we'll have to see how things play out.
Happy new new to the driftworks team, Craigs lot included. Thanks for helping keep me semi sane this weird year with all your videos, loved them all!
Got given a trackday at cadwell in February for christmas off my lad.......getting nervous already 😂 I've done a couple on bikes but not in a car 😬🤞🏼
Thanks man! Don't stress, if you've done it on a bike it'll be easy.
Love the e30. Great in car footage. Good job phil and happy holiday.
Thanks man!
Great video!!
Nice Christmas present!!
Great seeing the M3 holding its own against the Porsche!
Season's greetings to you all!!
Thanks! 👍
God i love that e30 😍 Would love if you guys re-produced the front and rear quarter panels. Would happily pay a premium, way nicer than oem m3
Thanks man 🤘 . It's not something I'd do unfortunately. I know I'd sell loads, but my car is then no longer one of one.
Vv funny first lap.. I actually lol at 1am after work and woke the house up! Keep up the great work
😄Sorry.
Brilliant video as ever guys, nothing quite like an S65 having its neck rung!
Merry Christmas to you all, hope you have a well deserved rest 👍
Thanks man. Merry Christmas.

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. Gareth has handled the whole thing.
Ace driving there. Car sounds awesome. Looking forward to my Oulton Park and Ring trips in '21 even more now.
Thanks man 👍Hopefully i can get out to the ring in this car in 21.
Your ride sounds glorious!
Thanks 👍
Pushing GT3's and Skylines in a car you built yourself..........good skills Phil n the crew Happy Xmas !

Thanks Gareth! See you out there next year.
Now that’s enjoyable content for a Christmas morning, I think it’s the diff locking up but a big maybe
Cheers. It's the downshift blip not being strong enough. It's not rev matching.
Hi Phil, can I ask what management you are on because I am currently collecting the parts and adapter etc to do the DCT conversion and I currently run a Link Fury but Link dont currently support DCT however I know MaxxECU do support it as standard and you can even use the stock BMW gearbox ECU, I have looked at the HTG control unit but wasnt sure if thats somehow able to talk to the Link ECU and overcome the issue? Thanks
Yes GCU communicates with Link ECU. Easiest way is to do it via CAN bus so just 2 wires and Your communication is set :)
DM us on FB for more details
Nice vid guys the E30 sounds awesome & looks insane with the flames 🔥just a few tweeks needed with the locking up issue 🤔Happy Xmas guys & best wishes
Cheers. Merry Christmas 👍
Great video Philip & jay take it easy look forward to seeing you in the new year
👍
Am I the only one that wanted phill to munch that gt3, talk about entertainment on Boxing Day, all the best lads 👌🏻
Thanks man. I was just happy to be able to keep up.
awesome content great video this is what i like seeing on youtube
Thanks man 👍
Starting my DCT conversion in a few weeks and this is far more inspiring. 👍

Baileys in hand and driftworks track day to watch what more do u need on xmas! Merry xmas everyone👍🏼
😎 Thanks man.
Great vid again , love the wheels with the wets on 👍👌🔧
Thanks 👍
I've had so many E30 in my life, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder, turbos.. But your E30 is pure FU*#ING dreams, what a build 🥰
Thanks man! 🤘
this race so much FUN :) i hope can make a race like this with my m40, big respect from e30 indonesia❤️
👍 Thanks man.

Nice to see the DCT sorted (nearly) bit of a beast now 👍
How do you find the Audi towing a car on a trailer ?
