E30 m3

[The Gorilla]

Hi,

MattCSLnut - yes there BBS RC Motorsport Edition.

Took me ages to find a set as they are no longer made.

There were 8.5 x 18 et 15 with 225 35 18 fronts
and 245 30 18 rears.

They are like the CSL wheels but have more dish'
due to their offset.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Very nice Gorilla!!

I remember seeing photos of both of those cars on another forum (can't remember which now) ... never connected the two until now .. AWESOME!!

Have you thought about running the Drenth in the CSL??? Be quite a beast I'd imagine (much like the Simpsons' other CSL racecar that they sold a while back).

Bremi Coils removed and X5 4.8IS ones fitted [there not Bremi

What's the advantage of this if you don't mind me asking??

[The Gorilla]

Hi,

NZ_M3- On the coils, the early Bremi ones were
well known for breaking down, after only a few
thousand miles.

Causing all sorts of issues.

The X5 4.8is ones are common to quite a few BMW's,
I will see if I can dig out the part number.

They are not made by Bremi, and when I compared them to some
Okada Plasma Coils which I run in the E30 M3/S54 the BMW
ones were almost as good, for about a tenth of the money.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

I run the other make of coils too, sensible move.

Hi,

Confession time, said the the E34 M5 was the
best car I ever owned.

As an all rounder, yes.

The one that put the biggest smile on the
Primates face was this one, apart from
when it was serviced etc !!!

Digital cameras where not really
around so these were taken by a
colleague outside his home.

All his neighbours complained as it
had a Race Exhaust, and all their
windows vibrated when you revved
it up.

Get it right and you would be smiling
all day long, get it wrong and your Bank
Manager woul be smiling for months.

Did about 5,000 miles, [700 ish on Track] in
around 14 months and then sold it, as you always
had the feeling that a real big moment was
just around the next corner.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Very nice Gorilla. Now I see how the links to Simpson's were formed. :smokin:

Danny, i fancy going back to my roots and building a classic race car most likely to be either a 64/5 Falcon Sprint or a 64-66 Mustang just fancy a change so the E36 is up for grabs if you know anyone £14k with spares add fire system and its ready to race.

Glad to hear the cars moving on last time i heard you were having nightmares getting SPA sensors etc ?

let me know when its out on rack would love to pop down

Martin

Hi,

Martin- long time no hear.

I heard that you had sold or were selling your E36 Track Car ?

Yes, the E30 M3 is complete, all been dynoed, etc.

I would love to know how the V8 Judd engined white
Swedish E30 M3 performs, as the engine in that car
is about 40kg lighter, 100 BHP more, and even further
back than a S14 4 pot sits.

What are you plans then if the E36 has gone or going then ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.

The Gorilla.

Mr Gorilla - do you happen to have any updates on your rather nice E30? :smt055

[trackm3_csl]
