Hi,
Glendog- Yes, E30 M3 its all done but,
decided to take the Drenth out
as it was fantastic on ''Track '' but a
right nightmare for almost everything else.
2.33 1st gear with the twin plate clutch
got interesting when moving it about.
Have now gone back to a Getrag M3
5 Speed dogleg, which is OK,
but its a little bit short on 1st at 4.22 with
a 3.73 CW/p.
Just wish I had time to use it more.
TrackM3- No the plans for the DTM merc
have been changed, as getting parts was
becoming stupid.
Merc never did customer 190 cars like BMW
on the E30 M3, so getting DTM Merc parts
was far more difficult than I had hoped, and
when you do find parts, they make S14
parts seem very cheap !!
The Merc 190 Klasse 1, 94 build, is the beast.
Makes a CSL feel slow !!
It does not help though that Stuttgart does not
even have EVO Cranks,Blocks,Pistons etc,
available anymore, and charges 500 euro
for just the Evo headgasket, not set,
so the plans changed a little.
Should be interesting when done though,
as its now more road focused.

Hi Loaded, what, so its slower ?
The Car was built to perform, not appear in glossy Mags.
The ''ITC'' rear wing provides very good rear down force
without the enormus 'drag' of the EVO Sport rear spoiler
fitted with Flap.

Hi Gorilla. My friend i didn't tell it to put it in glossy Mags, but in my opinion i believe that the rear spoiler with the flap in the maximum position can provide a lot of downforce but i can not imagine how much of it compared with the ITC..Originally posted by The Gorilla View Post

Hi,
Loaded- I was not arguing, just pointing
out that in 93/94 and thereafter, where the rules allowed
most E30 M3' s and the Merc EVO's ran the ITC
rear wing as it gives better downforce with less
drag.
If you look at the designs you will see how this
is achieved.
The Evo Sport rear spoiler with the extended Gurney
flap, there are 2 versions, creates something like
11% more drag than downforce.
So your slowing the car down to make rear end
downforce.

Ok, i believe you're right.. I saw an ex DTM Merc evo with ITC rear wing but i is in Austria i think. European Hill Climb championship....

Hi,
Are you talking about the ''Meisle'' 190
with the Judd F1 Engine ?
His rear wing has somewhat grown over the
years, bit like a an ''ITC' on stilts.
He has a Judd engine just like Georg Plasa
use to have in his E36, but now runs
a BMW 1 series with the engine.
The link below gives a fascinating insight to
the development and build of the car.
This is the Georg Plasa E36 in action.
Here is the E36, and the 1 Series is rummored
to be a lot quicker.
