Alpina C2 2.7 touring. At the paint shop

Post Sun Mar 22, 2009 9:26 pm

can really notice the negative front camber in those last few pics

Looks quite a weapon mate, fantastic build thread, see you at the pod this year

Post Sun Mar 22, 2009 9:32 pm

Lookin good Si, the rocker and inlet look quality

Post Sun Mar 22, 2009 9:36 pm

Cheers, the neggy camber on the front wheels is rather alot, it looks to be the same as the rears which is a fair bit. Should be good for the ring this year

it's still got the nose down alpina stance just a bit lower. A bit too low but hey ho

Heads up Lee i'll be hoping to have a good fight this year with the 24v crew see if the old 12v donk has the minerals still

Very good effort Si, that engine looks fantastic.

So much work in such a short time, good work young man, looks rather splendid.

Top job. Nice finish on the inlet,and cam cover.
Where does the power come in hard with that cam?
Where did you get the Domed nuts for the cam cover?

I have just realised I need genuine alpina wheels

3-3.5k on wards really to the red line, it picks up well from 1000rpm tbh but thats probably more to do with being a 2.7 with a lighter fly

Domed nuts are standard alpina fare!

You/i can thank Trevor B7 for the inlet and rocker as that was his handy work!

M30B35 engines have these as standard, and they fit the good old M20B25/20 - I had a set on my Sport

Silver stripes, or even better - no stripes.

Post Wed Mar 25, 2009 1:56 pm

No stripes!

Im doing gold ones.
Silver is a weak homo color and will clash with your cam and exhaust.
Here is the evidence - you know what to do...

New tail gate is here of Spadge so hope to get that on this weekend

But more importantly it is going for a power run to check the fueling 2moro!

Place your bets! It's not been remapped yet so i'm going to say 200bhp ish

Post Fri May 01, 2009 6:46 pm

196 with the fueling out, so the ability for a fair bit more.

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:06 pm

if the fueling is really out then i can't take it to the ring in 4 weeks

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:10 pm

You going to evolve?

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:16 pm

nope, i'll go to Sheps at castle motors, castle coombe

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:19 pm

Its got to be 210-215 when fuel is set up right?

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:22 pm

i'd like to think so but who knows, was running 198bhp and 220lbs before the rebuild. It's only the cam thats really changed spec wise. The uniQ should make it much more drivable i hope when its done.

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:24 pm

My moneys on 207 - 210. Torque will be interesting with the cam.

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:28 pm

I think the fact that the engine is less tired with clean injectors, ect makes a lot.

Post Fri May 01, 2009 11:29 pm

Ignore my estimate then!

You could go on Monday, watch some PBMW racing at the same time... if Pauls about on Monday.

i'm going over to Surrey rolling road for 1:30 they are only 15 mins from my house. Gate crashing a rollers day up there. I don't know what cars are going lets pray its no Jap car and i get abuse!

I really want to take it to the ring in 4 weeks as its such a more focused E30 for fast road/track work than the red 320. But i've done the red one to be a good comfy daily E30, unlike this car. I don't want to have to chuck some suspension on it to sharpen it up for the ring!

I will go for 211bhp.. With 225lbs

Torque will be up, just higher in the rev range

Post Sat May 02, 2009 3:12 pm

immense...........

205bhp and 210lbs@4000 rpm

so overall we've traded a touch torque for more bhp which is how it works in 2 valve engine land.

But most importantly Charlie at SRR says the fueling is ok and it will be fine going to the ring/on track. It's not perfect obviously but its not leaning out at the higher RPMS.

So to put it bluntly i'm well f**king chuffed as i can get the car setup perfectly later in the year with sheps and its ok as it is

So maybe with the remap it will hit a touch over that majic 2.7 figue of 210! and we can really say the milege is just a number when your still putting the ponies down with 175,000 on the clock

Whoop whoop!!!
