Pics

[magpie]

that is some spec list right there

you fancy going to pod this year Dave ?


so i can drool over it all

[polsta]

thats a lot of spec, bet shes a nice drive !

any chance of some pics of the pin stripe,and the seats and badges and details etc ? be nice to see

personly think a chrome kidney and ditch the eye brow things would make it look much nicer

[polsta]

Big brake kit with Switchable ABS

more info on how do you go about that, and costs involved etc ?

and whats a Super-sprint half system ?

[magpie]

and whats a Super-sprint half system ?

exhaust .

[Dave_M3]

Won't have it at the pod as have he car half stripped again for a full resto
It'll be bigger and better once finished though with the last few bits done in the "next to do" bit so not to worry.

I'll still try make the Pod though with the Touring this year.




Big brakes and switchable ABS will be done with some Porsche Brembos, E39 or 38 ABS system and just a switch on the dash to turn it on and off.

[maxfield]

Awesome dude.

Long time no speak.

I think you tried speaking to me on Facebook the other day..?

[Jhonno]

Nice.. Bet it's good fun to drive! Just needs some slightly more hardcore suspension imo..

[Rav335uk]

Who's is the Lancia Delta Dave??

[Dave_M3]

Cheers Jamie. Yep, that was me on facebook alright.

Agreed Dan, will be on coilovers next time it rolls Dan


Delta belongs to a fella over here called Mark. He had a minty black E30 M3 before that.

[jann]

Woah Nice spec!

What kind of power are you running with the superchip?
I plan on getting my iS on a Rolling Road with a live remap too.

[Dave_M3]

Its around 155... needs more though!
Would be hoping for 180-220 with the 2.1

With the gearing and 6 speed box, it was roughly around the same pace as a good E36 328.... until it runs out of torque

[feens]

Good Man Dave looks better all in one peice, I think our cars share similar spec sheets apart from the lil s50 bit i dropped in,

[Dave_M3]

Yep, were very similar before you got the S50 and I went a little further with mine and we changed our interiors.
Only difference at that stage was wheels, colour and kit really!


S50 or something bigger in the iS would be nice but I have more than one E30 to spread the M-power around rather than hold all my eggs in one basket



If I didn't already have plans for it, the fact that my M5 and the iS shared the same key code would have been a strong case to stick the S38 in!

[MurphyE30]

thats some spec list

very nice

[Kedge]

Very nice iS you have there Dave, many things it's got that were on the 'to do list' with mine before i sold it to Richard.

About time someone bought it, do miss that car. Hope it stays a known car over there and doesn't disappear.
