I learnt to drift in a standard 316i, with an open diff and some lowering springs.....wait for a rainy day and some empty roundabouts.

Re: Cheap and Light vented discs.....

Blimey, car sized milling machines would be rather expensive. I'd try and split it into as small sections as possible. Or shaped the foam block by hand, like what they do with the clay models for production cars. I imagine that takes some skill and patience though! I think you can also form the roug...

Re: Cheap and Light vented discs.....

I haven't got a specific offset or PCD, as I will be making one off fabricated uprights and hubs. You had some preliminary dimensions, stick those in and see what comes up, then find out which is the lightest. Has any one used MMC brakes - or even just know about the life of MMC rotors?

Might sound pricey, but have you seen the price of one section of Armco? Let alone injuring another party.
Probably with a £6000 excess and a £6201 maximum payout!

I would imagine Uwe was pointing you in the direction of the "Search by Dimensions" option on that site.

Re: RING Insurance,and do's and don't advice..

Any 'ring only insurance will be rubbish. It's a massively risky place so the premiums + excess to pay-out ratio will be woefull. Otherwise they wouldn't stay in busness very long!

Re: RING Insurance,and do's and don't advice..

Don't ask whether you are covered, because they will say no....other than that. Assume you aren't insured and don't crash. Then forget about it and just enjoy it. Life's a risk!

You can fit the BMW "crash repair" top mounts for <1° of change. Or fixed offset ones if you don't want adjustables.....not sure why you wouldn't want them though?

Re: THE best sat E30 m3 i've ever seen!

Suspension points have to stay the same under Homologation. BMW/Merc et al could just throw money at it to get it right. And don't think that any DTM car would be useable on the road. So stiff! Not really they were modified significantly and roll centre, camber, caster, and track was tweaked and ad...

Re: Painting by aerosol

So long as you prep it well and get enough on there you can always polish it smooth again. It will take lots of time and effort though!

Good job!

Re: Easy and chep solution for improving 325 engine performa

"Alpha-N" is just a method of Fuel Metering which uses "Alpha" the throttle position and "N" the rpm to work out how much fuel to squirt in! There will be lots of ECU manufacturers that will offer Alpha-N control. MAXX is very popular with the E30 M3 crowd as an AFM delete. I've done it to mine and ...
