Just to echo previous comments, the rocks banking needs utmost respect in the wet. One of the problems with it is that the water does tend to collect, especially if they're using the chicane bit at turn 1. I had a 'sketchleys' moment this year in qualifying when I hit a puddle 360'd the car to end u...

Cheers for that Liam. The guy from Gaz reckons I'm going to need them. Will have to see how the Leda guys do it.

If you read the regs, it kinda hints as to how the leda guys do it, read section 5.8.1 and 5.8.2 and give it to your Gaz man

Dave

But a good try though Mike ;)

There is no escape, you're being watched

Thanks for that again Ian.

This is my Milltek Sport BMW Racecar so its all got to be standard

So, oddly I was trying to make sure that any replacement parts I add are the standard parts (which makes a change!).

The car for info is a 1988 facelift model

Dave

Thanks Ian, that explained it a treat.

Can you confirm the difference between
"Getrag 240 gearbox (all 1987 on models do) or a ZF S5-16 gearbox"

I'm guessing one was a sport box? Is there any easy way to visually check them?

Dave

I need a replacement gearbox for my E30 320i, standard gearbox.

Are the standard gearboxes on 323i the same? Can't seem to work it out from ETK as there's slightly varying part numbers everywhere (no change there then eh!)

Thanks in advance

Dave

Water leak in the footwell is from the cooling matrix. Now's the time to fix it if you're going to bother because its behind the dash and once you put a rollcage in you're gonna have problems getting the dash out. You might be lucky and it'll be just a pipe loose, or alternatively it could be the ma...

A word of advice though, if you're going to the trouble of welding in a decent cage, you might as well change the roof skin at the same time. It's a bit more but it'll be easier to fit the cage & you'll end up with a much neater & more importantly get rid of all that excess weight (above the line) ...

SD are now back as SD international by the way, expect updates on their website etc any day.

Would that be the Milltek guys? Nope, isn't us. However, most of our cars use them as its our 'standard' rollcage, competitors can use other equivalent ones though *phew* Its definitely official as I have the administrators details here somewhere, however it is in administration so who knows if it ...

Another thing to consider would be the M3 style eccentric bushes which would mean you keep more front tyre in contact with the road at turn-in so reduce understeer I believe.

Powerflex do them:-

We mostly use the SD cages in the Milltek (Seloc) series, quality cages although they can be variable fits! One thing to bear in mind is some series have regulations specific to cages above and beyond MSA spec so if you're thinking of racing it, its worth checking the series you might be entering be...

Matt, the Milltek min weight figure is a good target, we designed it around the min weight of a basic stripped down car. No excessive expenditure on super light stuff, just taking everything out that didn't need to be there.

so there are teams with Ãƒ”šÃ‚£10k cars and Ãƒ”šÃ‚£20k budgets floating *Splutter* I can't see how anyone could spend 10k-20k on a car in the MIlltek series, its just not possible unless you want a gold gear-knob. The regs are designed deliberately to stop people over-spending. No engine mods No mu...

I do enough rallying on a racetrack

Goodwoods a nice track. Due to the noise regulations you'll only have 10 cars or so on track at any time which is nice if you're slower (less cars overtaking you). If they offer driver training/intro's take them, being taken round by someone who knows the circuit is a real eye-opener and will give y...

We dictated no rear-arb for the SELOC series last year and I think only 1 or 2 had them installed when people bought them (318's/320's). I don't think the absence of a rear-arb is that unusual.

Worth checking out Milltek http://www.millteksport.com They designed a stainless exhaust for the 318's and 320's in the SELOC BMW Challenge for this year, I've only done a couple of days in mine but it feels nice and sounds lovely. Not sure if they have a 325 version yet though but worth a quick loo...
