Re: M52 Touring Track Car Using & Building

Load of stuff done and on its way for the TTC over the past few weeks. New OEM front wings, OEM BBS wheels, bargain Gaz Golds from ebay, new tyres for wet and dry, my usual steering wheel fitted. The M52 alternator failed last week so I sourced a 2nd hand one. And I have dropped it off to my friends...

Re: Improving Airflow to Engine Bay

I have M52 swap with no cooling issues. I run M3 ally rad and electric fan. Unless you have a high spec car then 15-20mins should be your max on track sessions. Bearing in mind that most sprint races are only 10 laps or so anyway. If you are running a cone filter it could be useful lto remove a ligh...

Re: Going down...

This is my rear ride height with Gaz Golds with plenty of adjustment left. Don't really need to go lower than that.

Re: Long time BMW Enthusiast, First Time E30 Owner

Hi Steve, Thanks very much. I just started the project thread so should be available now. Id be very interested in the Trackday section as I run an on track company for a living. Maybe if I PM you, you could tell me the cost of being able to share our events on the Zone? It seems many still use them...

Re: M52 Touring Track Car Using & Building

A few simple things first. Fit one of my favourite steering wheels (that I actually got for my mrs haha). Removed the rear wheels so I could clean up the rear coilovers and protect them for winter. and also weighed it at my mates workshop as I was concerned it was going to be quite heavy, however it...

Re: M52 Touring Track Car Using & Building

So I bought the car and it looked quite drifty which i'm not overly keen on. I'm not into big body kits or aero so the car is basically going to look OEM minus the obvious track parts. It will get used for road, trackdays, sprints, autosolos and road trips, although i'm not sure about fuel consumpti...

Long time BMW Enthusiast, First Time E30 Owner

Hi All, Have just started using the E30 Zone FB group so thought id better get on here too :) . Having owned my fair share of BMWs over the last 11 years, i'd say around the 30 mark, I have finally got my hands on an E30 touring. I wasn't looking for an E30 in particular but my friend had this Rally...
