E30 318is track car - car now sold !

[juniorGT]

Looks really good Junior, you are quite young as well arn't you?? Fair play to getting out and getting some experience. Decent tyres are worth 4 seconds a lap in the dry on 1min + lap circuits- that is huge!

cheers dude! yea im only 17, past my test back in july a week later i was 1/4 mile'ing my old polo at LVF... (its in my blood stream haha) brands was an awesome day, my to do list is growing fast lol

iv also done about 20+ pax laps of the ring and researched it heavily and know were im going, i have just learnt the corner names!

i suppose its a good thing xmas is coming, santa better bring me some tyres and some nice thick ARB's lol

i also sleaved the shifter to raise it closer to the steering wheel - simple but very effective mod, feels awesome, and the throw is no longer because of the Z3M shifter i have fitted. my hands have already become much quicker combined with heel&toe (practice practice practice) and dem'some more' lol

(its a very dogey picture)

the wheels will be going white tommorow same as car (alpine white)

there lots more that needs doing but really dont have the $$$ at the moment - bummer ey!

[juniorGT]

update: re-sprayed the BBS's alpine white, looks alot more fresher and gives her a nice motorsport look ;) imo.

sorry car is filthy dirty !

[Jamese30]

Car looks awesome juniorGT , nice job on painting up the inner arches as well.....thast should fight off any wannabe tin worm for many years to come...

I'm in the process of converting my 318is to a 320i for PBMW....

[juniorGT]

cage is bolted to the footplates (footplates are then welded directly to the chassis)

i prefer the one with the cage in lol

E92 M3 is quite good looking but on the whole new BMW's are offensively ugly to me. That new X5 hatch back/ whatever the hell it is.
