A Day in the Life: Prepping for the Drift with SLRspeed

A Day in the Life: Prepping for the Drift with SLRspeed

It’s a Saturday morning, and Alex is getting ready for another drift event at the local track. His garage is a mix of race prep, tools scattered around, and his beloved drift car – a BMW E36, tuned and fitted with performance parts from SLRspeed. Today, he’s got a few things to tweak before heading out. The air smells like a mix of fresh tires and fuel, the perfect scent to start a day of drifting.

First Things First: Getting the Car on the Ramps

Alex’s car is lowered – almost too low for the usual car ramps. Luckily, he’s got a set of SLRspeed low profile car ramps, designed specifically for low cars. These vehicle ramps are built tough but made for cars like his that sit inches from the ground. Without these low pro car ramps, getting under his BMW would have been a nightmare.

He carefully drives the E36 onto the ramps, which have just enough clearance for his setup. The low profile car ramp keeps his car stable, giving him easy access to work underneath. It's always a satisfying feeling when a tool makes your life easier, and these race ramps are no exception.

Adjusting the Alignment with SLRspeed Toe Plates

Next on the list is making sure his alignment is perfect for today’s event. Drifting demands precision, and if the alignment is off, his tires will wear unevenly, and control will suffer. Alex grabs his SLRspeed toe plates – a set of durable, 3mm-thick anodized aluminum plates. These toe plates have been a game-changer for him. They come with high-quality tape measures and readings in mm, percentage, and imperial units right on the plates.

Setting them up is quick. He aligns the plates with the wheels and starts measuring. Within minutes, Alex confirms his toe settings are dialed in, giving him confidence that his E36 will respond exactly as he needs it on the track. Whether it’s drifting or regular racing, these plates are the toughest you can get, and he knows they’re designed for the kind of abuse motorsports demands.

Adding Some Personal Touch with the Carbon Fiber Shift Knob

One of the things Alex loves most about his car is the feel of every component, especially when he’s behind the wheel. Shifting is smooth and precise thanks to his SLRspeed carbon fiber shift knob. It's lightweight, durable, and it just feels right. The sleek carbon fiber matches the aggressive style of his drift car. Plus, he knows it’s built to handle the constant shifting that comes with drifting.

SLRspeed’s shift knobs come in a range of materials, but for Alex, the carbon fiber shift knob has always been his favorite. It’s the perfect blend of form and function – stylish but practical for the intense driving he does.

Final Check: SLRspeed Angle Kits for Maximum Drift Control

Now it’s time for the final checks – suspension and steering. Alex’s BMW E36 is equipped with an SLRspeed angle kit. This setup has completely transformed his car’s handling, giving him the maximum steering angle he needs to hold longer drifts. The E36 angle kit is one of the best in the market, and Alex swears by it. He has friends with an E46 and even a 350Z, and they’re all running SLRspeed angle kits too.

SLRspeed’s angle kits are designed specifically for drifting, giving the steering and handling necessary to master every corner. Whether it's his E36 or a friend’s Corvette, the angle kits are engineered for performance, allowing the driver to fine-tune their car's drift capability with ease.

Ready for the Track

With the car dialed in and prepped, Alex loads up and heads to the track. Every part he’s added – from the toe plates, carbon fiber shift knob, and low pro car ramps, to the angle kit – has a role to play in making his car as competitive as possible. Drifting is about precision, control, and fun, and with SLRspeed’s products, Alex knows his car is more than ready for whatever the day throws at him.

As he pulls onto the track, the satisfaction of knowing his car is perfectly set up makes everything worth it. From the first feint entry to holding a long drift, Alex is confident that his E36 is going to perform flawlessly today. Thanks to SLRspeed, he’s got the tools and parts to make sure every run is smooth, controlled, and – most importantly – fun.

Conclusion

For anyone serious about drifting or racing, SLRspeed’s products are designed with performance in mind. From low profile car ramps to precision toe plates and high-performance angle kits, everything is built to help drivers like Alex get the most out of their cars. Whether you’re into BMW drifting, Corvette drifting, or pushing a Porsche on the track, SLRspeed has the parts to help you stay competitive.
