E30 Zone

Finally had both cars racing at Snet last weekend, both cars were hired out! I've been waiting for ages for this picture!!

Psht! I could take 'em.

Very cool. I LOVE an E30 race car!

I'd quite like to run them against a standard 325 on a circuit just to see the difference to be honest... take bets on how many laps it takes for one car to lap the other! The car closest in the pics is running 203bhp on 2.5L with triple 45's and weighs 1030 with me in it though... so it isn't what you'd call standard!

Nice motors mate

Now there's an idea. But my stock M10 would blow 'em away!! 101hp and 2300lbs FTW!!

Looks cool will be pretty quick with that power and weight

why M3 bumpers?

I'll take that bet, it's a standard engine...... promise

Yeah I'm sure you turbo'd guys would show it a thin or two in a straight line at least....but engine is nothing without handling though

Agreed, I've not quite finished that part yet, only H&R springs and boge shocks, front strut brace, std ARB's and uprated discs/pads installed so far.

But with 350/400bhp on hand, going round corners is sooooo much fun

I have to be carefull tho as without a dyno to prove I'm blowing hot air!

I should say "theorectically 350/400bhp" save any aggro then

when the rrd time comes give me a shout mate if you go to LPS i may come up and have mine done now its running right (if thier rollers handle the power of the 320 )

Cheers Ant - Haven't finished building teh MS yet, I'm about half way through but struggle to find the time to be honest! Not really that urgent any more anyway though as the new car on carbs is my toy whilst the other is being hired out on a "fairly" regular basis at the moment. It'd be good to get it up and running to see some improvements though.

Great pic mate but when i spoke to you last i was sure you told me that you were only allowed to run a 2.0L?

Thanks mate.... but I think you're confusing me with one of the production BMW (aka Milltek BMW) guys who are only allowed 320 or 318 cars. I'm running these cars in the Kumho BMW championship and the pre 93 and Classic Thunder races of the Classic Touring Car Racing Club.

Yer probably, was a while back at Donny South. Well good luck mate, make sure you let us all know when you are racing so we can watch!
