[e30_Turbo]

Mark is there a specific date this is planned for?

Within 4-6 weeks although a date hasn't been set.

Nothing will be orgainsed until we have enough cars that can make it worth while.

The list is growing tho

Within 4-6 weeks although a date hasn't been set.

In that case i might be able got lots of little niggles that need sorting!

[Turbo-Brown]

Hey Mark, did ya get my PM in the end?

Not sure if the lady from the mag's sending out e-mails yet but mine likes to divert anything it doesn't recognise to the spam folder

Would love to be in on this if I can!

[e30_Turbo]

Alex,

I passed it on to Louise for you, no worries

Mark.

[e30_Turbo]

at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground for Sunday 30th July

Please add your names to the list please:

From PBMW:

It's free entrance although they
do ask you make a small donation for the Raising Stars charity.
They're happy for anyone to join in so if we can get together a group
of forced induced E30s, then it will make for a great feature. I'll
have a photographer there and I'll also bring the timing gear. I only
heard from Lennie andAlex, so I'll email them about it now.
You mentioned about the two Cossie powered E30s, the two 2.5 turbo'd
Tourers, 5.0-litre V12 Toruer, the turbo'd coupé and Bootyman's two
cars, do you think they would be interested?

1. Alex - Twin turbo
2. Lennie - SC
3. Ant
4.
5.
6.

Please also forward your email address so I can put you in contact with Louise.

See you all there!!

Mark.

Fozzy, as mine is going on Jamz's, it should easily be running perfectly by then, so if he wants to track his I guess my place could go to him? Personally it looks too nice a car to track!

Good effort on organising this, mark for us lazy people(me) could you pop up a postcode, as I may try and get up and spectate

[Fal_325i]

My mate, has a N/A 2.7 converted coupe, which is running a 14.2 quarter, last time we tested it at the pod, since then he's done some headwork, so would be quicker, would this qualify, or is it just forced inducted cars your looking for???, as he wants to come and play?, and also wants to bring along another mate with a E30 M3 ?

The event is open to all BMW's but only a select few will get any attention or a go on the track. PBMW are the ones to ask mate, drop me a email add and I'll pass it on.

From the list I have already people need to be in the 12's, low 13's to get a go on the timing gear! Even I may not get a go

YO DUDE!!!

What did you decide to do in the end?

( or are you fixing it again? )

( Be in Halifax wk.bg 26th June too )

[WillG]

Long way from finishing mine mark, brother just rear ended my old sport last week and needs new rear quater so thats stopped me with the touring for now as hes short im money so im fitting it for him , sometimes I wonder why I started this turbo conversion but I think it will be worth it in the end.

[Toby_Unna]

looks like i might be up for this going on recent events

mark, drop them my email addy if you want dude

Would need strut braces etc if i were going to do this..not sure on wether the CaB will be track ready by then,not to mention if its even a good idea..lol

tempted though that would turn a few heads

[Polay]

my e30 ///m5 should be done soon too

[fuzzy]

providing nothing breaks just before then i will come down for this one with my cossie touring since its a sunday dont think id make 12's or low 13's though as im only running 290 bhp

[JAMZ]

Yea...290bhp is crap huh?

[fuzzy]

the same engine in my last project,a stripped out rwd celica weighting 1226 kg made for a scary fast ride,290 bhp in a car 300kg heavier with the aerodynamics of a house doesnt quite cut it,its like having 4 fat dudes in your car every where you go.i had hoped to have gone to the next power stage upgrade by now to compensate,but ive been having to sort out some minor problems that are starting to arise and cosworth=high maintainance=very expensive

Unless you've got a big stereo install you are going to be around 1260-1300kgs.

Mine was about 1300kgs on the weigh bridge at Dony Park

[Turbo-Brown]

Just picked up an e-mail from Louise which suggests that we should all get a couple of go's on the timing gear, plus a piss about on the circuit part.

Seems there is some confusion over who's booking the place too?

Any other definates for going then?!

Should be a laugh seeing how bad my 0-60 is!

[fuzzy]

andy, i had my touring weighed with nothing in the boot ,no ice install and half a tank of fuel before the engine conversion and it was 1465kg with almost perfect 52/48% weight distribution.i cant believe a fully loaded touring with leather interior,m-tech 2 kit and 17" alloys would only be roughly 35-75kg than a fully stripped out jap car with paper thin body panels,only 2 seats,no stereo and carpets with even the electric windows replaced with winders to save weight whats the latest with this day anyway regarding invites?has everyone invited already heard as i sent a email but didnt get a reply

[Andy335Touring]

Thats strange dude, book weight for a 325 touring is 1270kgs

[Jhonno]

1465 is 5 series territory in terms of weight!!

[Ant]

just looked and it seems Emotechnik and CA Automotive have actually secured the site

where does that leave us ?

[e30_Turbo]

Louise seems to think we'll all get a go but this isn't now sounding as good as it did when it all started out........ hmmmmm

[fuzzy]

if its going to be a busy day with not much track time there isnt much point in me coming all that way down

[e30_Turbo]

Thats a fair point, I'll see if I can get a straight answer from pbmw so we all know what the score is.

[fuzzy]

ill have a new improved turbo to test by then

[Toby_Unna]

this still on?
