With gearing have a look here at the speeds the PBMW guys get at Snetterton, still one of the fastest straights you'll see. http://www.tsl-timing.com/?loc=club&season=2014&series=MSVR&event=club&source=ed_MSVR&eventid=144352 108.2mph for 320i in PBMW 114.9mph for a 325 in the TTRS race I'd guess you...

Wow, not see that happen before! 8O S54's are brutal though! Did you get away without any damage from the sheared teeth? Hopefully I've got away with it. I carefully flushed all the bits of metal out of the diff and LSD, also cleaned all the bearings. Its up and running and still nice and quiet so ...

Road trip looked brilliant! I would love to do that in mine but would prob pussy out and tale the road car haha. Are you running with the SVG championships next year? I'm aiming to do Pre 93 in my car. Europe was brilliant, once in a lifetime trip. Two big BMW car shows (one at the start and one at...

Aaah, I saw this at the Raw/Ergen track day in March but never twigged who's it was! How's the diff? Hi Gareth, Diff was ok then Half way round Europe it stopped locking up. When I checked it out back in the UK it was the teeth had sheared on the friction discs (Didn't think this would happen befor...

Probably should also mention I have now broken the propshaft, so taken the car off the road. It'll now be a long term project with a re-shell and other improvements along the way. New targets are: 380bhp 850kg Some wider arches and rubber And some downforce. Colour NOT Yellow We will see what happen...

Thought I'd update this thread a bit as it needed the picture links fixing. Have completed a few trackdays and Santa pod runs over the last few years. July 2012 at Santa Pod ran a 12.7s quarter @ 111mph After two E30 Getrag 260 gearbox's died/broke, I upgraded to an E36 328i ZF box: http://i180.phot...

Just in time for Mopars !!!????

From what i've heard an old rally trick for a mechanical handbrake was:

A hole in the transmission tunnel and a long screwdriver poked through into the prop UJ.

Pretty crude, not sure if mr MOT man would still like it.

But when you want to set up for traction at the pod with Mickey T's it may of been useful.

Ross,

I'm surprised you are not doing the camber/toe kit at the same time?

Ben

Is the figure measured at the wheels or flywheel?

If its at the wheels that is a strong figure you've got there

Ben

I was thinking about this 9.7 to 9.4 to 8.8 difference.

Could the 9.4 engines just be a 9.7 with the 0.3mm thicker head gasket? My calcs say it would be about right?

Ben

We gave 4 star a wide berth Peter, i dont think the chap was to happy yesterday as i peeled back what was left of the carpets,or hecaught sight of the large screwdriver hanging out of my back pocket. Theres another one up at Wellingborough which i may look at if i can be arsed to go up to the pod n...

Ready for the Pod

You could try an E21 hose for the heater, not sure if its 4 or 5 here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=3072&mospid=47174&btnr=64_0008&hg=64&fg=18 I'll try and find an old one in the garage at the weekend.

Can I ask what the price of these was? I could have the Drive Shafts made up from 300m by a local firm, its the CV's I would source from GKN. Also are those the light weight versions? Also the tripod version come in 23 tooth config, I wonder what the prices are of those. The tripod design with 23 s...

You can't get CV's from GKN Motorsport to mount onto the BMW Driveshaft. BMW used a different spline count (23) to those available. I had to go for new shafts with GKN 25 spline CV's which wasn't the cheapest option, but they won't break now. Bear in mind this was E21 based so the same inner/outer C...

you can see the torque loss in midrange by looking at the magnitude and shape, the standard B25 makes 170lbft. you lose the bump in torque that the standard one delivers from about 3500rpm upwards. if the kit used 35-38mm it would be alot better I couldn't be bothere to point that out, talk about o...

The M20 on TB's can be made to provide a very nice torque curve. Yes peak power is at ~6600rpm but the torque is very smooth. Below are from my E21 Racer with a 2.7 and a std HC 2.5 both running with a 282 Schrick and Dbilas TB's (~45mm) and their inlet plenum. Emerald Standalone mapped by Dave Wal...

No, only a comparison to the S54 on Standalone

Has anyone bought from that Czech firm before i send him 200 quid and never see anything back ? cheers I've bought and was terified I wouldn't see anything for the 1003 Euros I spent.

Try here, much cheaper. I think they make them and supply to ABS.

~3600Cena for M3 wings became about £160 Sterling delivered. They accept Euro's and its best to email them.

Cheers

how long do you think youll need ben to get ya gearbox done ? Well I'm doing a bit on it this weekend, but its unlikely I'll finish much before Christmas as its not just the gearbox (gearbox change/upgrade, new fabricated differential mountings, new larger front brake setup and maybe some more weld...
