M3-R race car picture thread

Okay. A little update.
Got a sweet package from Intrax. New springs with the rate of 400lbs front and 200 lbs rear. Had 260lbs front and 130lbs rear before.
Here's a picture.

Also installed the fuel starvation kit from Bimmerworld. Didn't take any pictures during the install, but here's a picture of the top of the new fuel pump. What you see is the new line that goes to the original fuel pump. Sorry for the bad pic.

Here's a picture of the new oil lines that goes to the oil cooler. Hopefully they will keep the flow better then the ones I had before.

Got the roof scoop installed.


The Brooks Elite wing arrived the other day. Must say I'm impressed with how it looks. I'm not sure if the boot lid will hold the force that it creates, so I think i'm going to reinforce it a bit before testing it on track.

Detailed it today, and snapped a couple of pictures.




I'll get a new livery at the end of this week. I'm pretty siked about it, and i'll take a bounch of pics when it's done.
This years first test is next weekend. Very much looking forward to it.

Car looks great, I do like your wheels :thumbs:

I love it in the plain white :drool:. As much as I understand the need for the stickers on a race car, I think they will spoil the purity of the looks.

Ignore the gay comments from the resident wheel fetish and the art critic.:gayfight:
It will be interesting to see what the new livery will add to the completed package.:thumbs:

Thanks boys!

Installed a FIA approved fire extinguisher just behind the passanger seat.



Changed the wire that goes to the main battery switch, also got a new battery switch sticker..

Reinforced the trunk in a couple of places so i'm sure that it can cope with the forces the elite wing creates.

And changed the diff oil.

Now the car is loaded on the trailer, ready to get it's new livery tomorrow.

I'll be at the track tomorrow, so I'll get more pictures and videos then.
Hope you like the new look..

+1 Looking really good now




One thing that personally I do not like is the alloy intercooler - can you paint it black please! :hahaha:

Thanks for the comments guys!

Did some testing at a local track on Saturday. Was a bit unlucky with the weather, with rain/snow and just over 0 degrees. The car felt great though, and I was really happy with the way it performed. Here are some pics and a couple of videos.



And here are two of my competitors in the GT2 class this year. Two friends that bought a brand new Ferrari 458 Challenge each. Looking foreward to racing with those guys.
