Yes to all the above. Racing with the CTCRC as JimmyC mentioned. Thats the "Classic Touring Car Club"dave525 wrote:yeah,what series do you race it in.that pic with the sierra and sd1 looks right up my street.love to come and watch.do you do cadwell ,donington or oulton

350bhp
under 1000kg's
Welded diff
boat anchor
My yearly run to the MOPAR Nationals. Trying to take something quicker each year.DanThe wrote:Whats happening at the pod in july? Might have a run down myself, would like to see this go
Well the plan is to be out for Brands.pdd144c wrote:Nice! Will see you in Classic Thunder later in the year, should be quite evenly matched with my E30!
Well first off its a lot cheaper than an uprated LSD. Really you'd want 40% or more on track whereas std is 25% if the diff is still like new which most are not.maxfield wrote:Can I ask why use a welded diff on track? Or will you be drifting in future?
Very cool project though
Yep tyres aren't going to like it much although they are 225/45/13 R888's. But when they wear out it'll be going onto 15"slicks.Demlotcrew wrote:With that boat anchor up front leaning over the axle, you're going to need all the front end grip you can get + those tyres are going to get a killing! Personally I would budget for an LSD, it really is night and day with a welded differential.
If you need any help with getting more clutches in there, please send a PM to Graham or I can assist.
Ah ok. Not sure when mine will be ready 100%. Mine's an ex PBMW car with a S50B32 engine circa 340bhp, traction on your's should be fine, well mine is with a 195/50/15 R888, even launching the thing off the line there is zero wheel spin.duracel79 wrote:Well the plan is to be out for Brands.pdd144c wrote:Nice!

What E30 is it an M3? or more modified?
I was a similar pace to the Pre93 325's last year with a std 325 engine and Dbilas TB's. Now I'll have another 160bhp. Its going to be interesting whether the brakes will hold up and if I can get any traction.

We should have some fun then and be reasonably close.pdd144c wrote: Ah ok. Not sure when mine will be ready 100%.

With regards suspension and tyre wear with all the extra weight, the first time I used mine it still had the same setup as when the 318i engine was in and although it pushed on a tad in some corners I was quite suprised how well it handled, would race it like that if needed.
I'm sure the brakes will suffer as I found out, I've just got some 310mm discs and big six pot calipers to fit to mine. Hopefully they'll do the trick!

There should be bellmouths inside the std airbox and its the length from these to the head that affects performance. So effectively I have the same setup without the box around the trumpets. My advantage is I can now easily play with intake lengths to move the power/torque curves around or at least see if it makes any difference.ross_jsy wrote:Wasn't really thinking about the filters, more the fact I would have thought the standard airbox would offer more performance. Or even better, a tuned carbon airbox
