Hey guys, dad has built this car over the past few years and I thought I'd share it with you all ;)

Took it to the dyno and without a proper tune and lower rpm it put out 233rwhp @ 7600rpm (dyno graph didn't go further)
limiter is at 7800rpm. New chip coming to raise this to 8250 and hopefully with a proper tune it will get 300bhp+ at the fly!

I am liking the camber.

Is there anyway to adjust castor on an m3?

I missed that picture! It seems like an awful lot of 'static' camber, I would have thought more aggressive castor would be preferable to making it handle??

It looks luuuurverly though.

Awesome chariot!

Tyres seem to be on the wrong way round, not that it matters when it's dry.

Tyres are on the wrong way round indeed from the look of it.. Surprising the number of people that make that mistake...
