I am not into five figures put it that way, to be honest I don't keep a record on purpose! A few of my parts were second hand (LSD) or not top name brands also help/supplies from forum members (strut braces/camber/alloy tank/big sump). The engne work is where it can go silly. I had one quote for £10...

mattrs, yes 2010 will be my next season, so I really am not that qualified to answer your questions. For me it all started when I bought a 2 door, 325i (non sport) no sunroof on ebay for £650 for a few track days. I fitted some 888's (sticky tyres), uprated the suspension (Bilstein B8's - now have c...

press 'shift' while clicking on photo if yo get problems. Works for me hurrah!

great, it must just be me that can't view them on the forum properly. Enjoy...

Bian28 - i would love to put on triple webbers next year and i think that pushes me up a class with the 2.7 boys. But for now, lets take it easy and learn the ropes.

Can't wait.

Guys sorry if some of you onl get small pics, I really tried - hope my driving is better on the rack than my computer skills!

experiment. bear with me...

Noob (or any interested parties) -pm me and I can email better pics. Will mess around with the uploading over the weekend.

NOOb - i think he is about £40/hr. But would have to check. He knows his onions.

do the pics look small to you?

ok this should be a bigger pic - sorry first time uploading (what a pain!) http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/5079/dsc0536.th.jpg http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8760/dsc0547.th.jpg http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/39/dsc0539.th.jpg http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1644/dsc0540g.th.jpg

i have been using this forum while getting a race car built (pre 93/ttrs). Just had it on a rolling road today - 191hp (flywheel), which i am very happy with a it has not had too many mods but just been rebuilt by the great chap who put the car together - happy to pass on his number, the garage is D...

paynts, thanks for you post. With throttle bodies what racing series/hilclimbs etc do you do with the car? As far as I m aware(could be wrong), Pre 93 you can't use throttle bodies, but in TTRS you can and also by the sounds of it Kumho. Can I also ask what HP you recorded(flywheel) at Thor? I am ju...

cheers, Dave please let me know how you get on

Anyone done this?

I think you can use GSXR throttle bodies?

Any thoughts on: HP gains/costs

cheers

kimbo - great post, read and taken on board. Thanks

ignore last - sorry

dta ecu

Great, will do. But have just been travelling back from France so will be another race meeting.

fowler - if you mean can you 'chip', yes I think you can. But I find the engine regs quite complex to read and understand.

jimmy C - thanks, always up for a hog roast. Will come along and check it out. I take it you race a 325i i the TTRS? Can I ask what kind of HP you would need to be competitive. I am trying to gauge is how much ££ you need to throw at your engine not to have mud kicked in your face. I.e if most cars ...

kim, that is very very helpful, thank you. I have not really decided what series I would like to run in yet, it was TTRS and now I am leaning towards pre 93 (i saw it in a magazine called Race and track cars) maybe just because I also like the older cars and I think you run on the same day as them (...

e21 Jason - great, just the advice i was after. How much hp do you think you wll get on your 'cheaper/m50 rods' option. 230hp sounds nice, but 6k does not. Do you think 230hp is reliable? I am happy to 'freshen up' the engine at the end of the series but want it to be reliable apart fom that. I am g...

agent006 - thank you. I reckon 200bhp should be the minimum I should try and go for and try and push for some more. I will keep you osted when the work is done. handpaper - good thread, a little over my head but still very interesting. Shame the guy does not really talk about max hp he thinks he can...

cheers Kimbo, I am going to enter the 'pre 93 touring cars', looks very similar to TTRS I think but maybe with more effort behind it (could be wrong). I think we can change inlet and exhaust manifolds, infact we can change almost everything apart from upping capacity and turbos etc. I will look into...

I am having my engine tuned for racing, want it to be reliable but what is the max I can get? I will be changing cam, gas flowing, lightened flywheel, new pistons etc etc. I would hope to get 230hp + Can't turbo or superharge, so please no stories of 600hp+ and also I can't changing the fuel injecti...

cheers guys will give them a call

and what am i asking for?

by the way, where is the best place to by Gaz Coilovers?

cheers - will go to a race weekend soon. Want to wait for my new Brian James Trailer (hurrah!) and then will take my car and try and get a scrutineer to look at it to see if it would pass.

I thought coilovers would be about £1,000 for a full set and I can put in some new springs to get a lower ride height and stiffer for about £200. Are coilovers really that good? When I start racing i wolud have thought that my level of skill would be the biggest drawback! : ) Saying that why spend t...

I have an e30 325i which I am setting up for the ttrs, at the moment it is on Eibach srings and bilstein b8 dampers. It currently rides quite high, so I want to lower it. I know a lot of you run coilovers, is this the only option or are there some new springs that you can recommend?

cheers

cheers dph!

i have a 1989 325i e30 that i am using for trackdays and preparing for the TTRS races next year. I want to get the engine fully rebuilt, with some perforance bits added. Can anyone recomend someone that can do this for me?

i have just done that and it is a great car. My advice, buy one with the best bodywork you can. Lots of them have lots of rust and you can spend a lot of time and money putting it right. Try and get a 2 door if poss. Then come and do some racing mybe later... You can get lots of parts and advice her...
