Can you help? I use the car for track days and recently fitted a Bilstein Sprintline kit and noticed the bushes looked tired. The question is if I change them, what do I change them with? also do I upgrade the anti roll bars at the same time? Cost is important to me, so it will be the best value/com...

Sorry for the late reply, I just noticed the post about the wheels.

The BBS wheels are 14" the tyres, to be honest I dont know. Elvington is mainly a concrete surface and very abrasive. I now need to replace them as the are down to the canvas.


CHEERS,

Hi, I've only done 3 track days in my 325, Dec, Jan and Feb and yes it's been cold. All my track days have been at Elvington and braking from 100 to 20mph for one corner I have had not had any problems. Remenber I'm not racing but I have 3 mates with seven type cars (all blade engines) and I can kee...

Hi M3Compact,

Can you be a bit more speciic on the racks.
Have you ever fitted any of the racks you suggest? what are the ratios? how easy are they to fit? what are the costs involved?

Cheers, Andy

Jason,

Add my name to the list please. If it's 2.7 and will fit a 325.

Cheers, Andy

The Bilstiens, well yes, my mate was following in his Sierra Cosworth and said it was very stable. They are also good value at Ԛ£300 if you shop around. My only experience of trackdays has been in 7 style cars, with both car, (Pinto and Zetec) and bike, (fireblades) engines. I am very happy wit...

Forgot to say it's a 325se.

As for the brakes, my thoughts, apart from safety, was to use standard discs as these are cheap, less than Ԛ£60 for all 4, but the pads are a different matter at Ԛ£140 for the front and rears.

Hi all, This weekend we attended the Javelin event at Elvington near York http://javelintrackdays.co.uk My first track day in the BM went well and all the hard work over the last few weeks has paid off. I have made some simple mods, most have already been covered in this Forum, but I'll list them an...

Hi all,


I've got oil dripping from the oil filter housing on a 325. It's not the mating between the housing and the block but right at the bottom of the housing below the oil cooler pipes.

Can this be repaired or does it need replacing?

Cheers, Andy

Hi All, Just a quick hello to you all. My location is the York area. I've just sold my kit car (I've built 4) and wanted a saloon, so I bought a 325se for track day use. I have a limited budget, so whatever I spend on the car it needs to be in the right place. Can you help? I need to know what spec,...
