Save me from ebay monkeys!

Not as quick as my porker of win tho

4x 235/40/17 Eagle F1, been trackdayed on heavy soft car & worn on all outer/inner edges, but middles are all ok mostly 5mm, perfect for drifto madness, road legal on all but one which is tad too slick on the outer. Free, gratis, nowt, zero denero, but even if you only want a pair you take away 4 th...

Ive run ebc yellows on 5 difernet track cars of mine- Golf2, E36 M3, Mx5 S/C'd, E30 325 & Porsche 924S. I'm happy with them for the price not the best by far but last ok for cheap pads, yet all have had the exact same issue- Push hard 1st session & there will be an utter fade to failure point, pussy...

Fear not as the C word is sold, that was last outing, I'm heading back to bimmer for Uk track work, the old track Golfy will live at 'ring

I lunched the gearbox on Friday in the 205 keeping up with a Caterham. :) Enjoyed spanking 'a lot faster cars on paper' as usual :D Love this weapon Ah I was on this day, only afternoon tho, did see you with broken car I think, I was in my Caterham, don't think you'd have been keeping up tho sticky...

Woody, all depends on the car, a discovery for instance can legally tow 3.5t but it weighs sub 2.5t Most- but not all of the big 4x4s are 3.5t towing weight (my 2.8 pajero was similar weight vehicle but had a lower towing weight, 3.3t I think & something like the Volvo XC90 which isa big 2+ tonne 4x...

Can't agree with you there, I find 'ring extremily light on brakes, heck you only brake properly hard a few times unless you are in somthing very very quick or are an utter novice or drive like a bell end. Plus its not mega speed loss areas other than if you are in something ridiculously quick & eve...

'ring aint nowt on brakes vs somewhere like donny, can't quite belive youve got on so well with green stuff, i find en utter cack, can't even hack road use, I get on well with ebc yellow my self, but if you are happy with greens stick with 'em just stick a new set on & take olds as spares (I couldnt...

+ far easier & cheaper to change spring rates

I was sure I read somewhere in the e30 318/320 racers regs that the OMP bolt in 6 point jobbies were not up to the job, bit of a bugger i thought, given I was running OMP 6 point cages in both my track cars, but I spotted an OMP in an e30 racer at Combe last mon, was exactly the same as the omp I ha...

Sold my faithfull old tracker, delivered it today, along with some csl tat :D http://snap30.photobox.co.uk/045928738ffa6d7135fad23f43cc888114f4aa663f4a4411dc03818c.jpg http://snap28.photobox.co.uk/0724866332bc4fe9e8dddd720644629324091260389eaf7bd9eac0c2.jpg http://snap36.photobox.co.uk/1005085504dcf...

My old rustbox briefly leading mr loops tango wagon.

Top day, dunno who on here was driving what tho?? I was in both my black e30 tracker & avusblue e36 roadcar (not the other esoril evo that was also there- going v slowly! :D ) Jimmy shame you went fella, was planning to have a chinwag with you & nose round yr rather eyewatering motor, couldnt do it ...

Easy pickings then

I'd go fo the miltek jobbie designed for the e30 318 racers

38psi on the 888s? felt like crap when i ran em that high, I payed about a bit & 34 hot was my fave, so circa mid to high 20s cold & bleed down to 30 or so after 1st session & they get to temp jubbly

I've done the co own thing with a very good mate, & for the exact reasons of using it on difernet days & the potential for well you broke that bit so you pay etc it wasnt ideal, before that we shared my own track car, with him contributing for maintenace on each track day & specific upgrades etc lik...

Blimey what a misery I am sometimes! :( Happier mood today thankfully :) Weeman I do the harnesses to rear seat belt points, its not ideal at all but is IMHO the best option other than a harness bar. I did the same on my old car pre cage too, & i may seem daft but I knew the risk then too so I ran t...

Northloop bud, I did comment on NL ref weemans harness fitment, & that I thought it was not good. Now I thought about this it today, its not weemans fault he doesnt know & took advice from the man who built it, but its all the comments on here & on NL that got my goat, the 'oh yeh that looks great' ...

Can you price me one for e36 2 door

Cheers

Nice one Paynts, I'll be able to see the car I missed out on.

Im there in e30 325 shed tracker & e36M3 (bog stock)

Orange one from Nr Guildford? if so you you bugger! :wink: I was after that one & was viewing a couple of hours after you, you got it for a v good price too :( I'd say it maybe set up too hard & un-compramising for a novice trackdayer, tyres wise new T1Rs are great in the wet, but maybe some race we...

Just after some price thoughts, NOT NOT NOT an advert, not looking to sell just yet, if at all & I'll put an ad in the proper pace if I do. '88 2 dr black 325i bit tatty if im honest, rear wheel arches bit scabby, but chassis is v solid, scuttle is fine, would have 12month MOT & I'll prob bung 2 new...

Thanks for all the information. Slightly off topic - IGUANA! I noticed your weblink/company. I realise that I used your services nearly two years ago! You came to get my 98 STI from Ware to take to Colchester due to a blown bottom end. Hope you're well. Blimey small world, hello indeed, yes I remem...

Hmm not convinced e36 325/328 faster on track than e30 325i, ive passed many, all depends on the driver really, ive pasted a fair few e36/e46 m3s too, & my e30 is a very very low budget car, but a stripped e30 driven by someone doing trackdays a few yrs vs someone who maybe a novice in trimmed road ...

Yep that helps alot mate thanks. See how my finances are when the time comes then! Checked ebay and theyre around Ã‚£800!!!! Are rollcages only made from steel as I'm guessing thats abit heavy? As said above OMP bolt in about the cheapest, can fish around & get sub Ã‚£350, fine to race with in many...

No click links for me & im on a lap top?

Agent, for that sort of budget I'd def recommend giveing these guys a shout fora bespoke jobbie- http://www.robinson-race-cars.co.uk/ did a mates Jetta cage thats on the site & its a fab job & although its a tiny job in comparison they did my harness bar in my golf & the welding was outstanding. Nic...

Not used 'em, but as for top spec, ha ha not likely, will be a road pad that should be able to cope with a bit of tracking, posibly same compund as 1144, tho I tried those & they were not too good really crumbled badly on track. For normal road car track & race compounds they go 1144 1155 1166 getti...

uwe- id be interested in a set of yr top mounts bud, if you can tell me what sort of camber i can get max- only pain is im on coventional spring sizes- eibach pros linked to Koni t/a's, not coilies, so may restrict the camber I can get Cheapychippy- youve missed out spring rates bud, the racers run ...

Uwe- Ã‚£60 a full set i.e fornt & rears inc posage not cheap enough....!

personally I think they are posibly the best pad for tracaking an e30 in the whole wide world at that price & that still got lots of life left after 2 track days- 1 wet 1 dry

Nope but a buddy did in his trackday mx5 mk2 similar weight to e30 & he raved about them, got v good wear out of them. But im a big fan of ebc yellow on the e30 tracker, v v v v cheap price & wear rates are good. Big thread I started a while back on seloc ref e3o- pads is good for info, lots of the ...

Cheers fellas, Sunbeam rack hardly easily available, will investigate the z3 dry idea.

Cheers eko, yeah I ve heard the same, but only a rumour.

Come on chaps surely the UKs premier dedicated e30 forum must have some ideas on this ....
