How about not lowering it so far, 70mm drop is massive.

Wooring is what you do when your car is in bits between rebuilds or upgrades. You miss driving your car, so you sit behind the steering wheel and make "wooring" noises.

Good to hear, that was a saga if I ever read one.

Just wondering?

Excellent, the only down side is its green

Go the E36 route, the E30 is averaging 20 years old and most are struggling with rust. A decent E30 is now dearer than an E36. The E36 doesn't cost much more than an E30 to get to a decent track spec. Removing weight costs you nothing. Fibre glass panels, suspension, brakes etc are the same or simul...

The E36 coupes used to pull out from the floor the 4 rear axle mounting points. The ZM Coupe destroys the rear diff mount

The speed limiter can be removed with a remap. The SMG wont change gear mid corner unless you ask it to or it has an ABS fault. Common fault on the SMG is the main relay failing, carried in stock at most BMW dealers and specialists, buy one and stick it in the glove box!

All a bit scary Was asking about it at the club last night, one theory ...

I think there are 3 types, manual, electro mechanical and electro hydraulic. Having said that I'd imagine that its only the frame that is different and the actual canvas part will all be the same.

Taking metal from the block will increase the compression ratio at a greater rate than skimming the head. This is because the head is domed and the block is cylindrical

Long thread. Having briefly read it, I only have a short lunch, I think that maybe in future if there is to be a group buy, then maybe the shop should be given the opportunity to better or match the intended discount. This way the members benefit and so does the sponsor, assuming of course the shop ...

Try this guy.

Aluminium bushes cause a hard ride, not recommended for road use but fantastic for track use.

Not a Revaglia like the one in the link is it?
