My Red E46 sprint car

[rstoughy]

Recaro Spa's.....nice touch.

It had 996 GT3 style seats fitted but I had the SPA out my CSL and ordered up a SPG for the passenger side. Will fit another SPA if I can find a cheap enough one but not paying 2.5k for something that's used twice a year.


The GT3 style seats (really comfy)

The car had new Alcons on the front when I got it




However I just couldn't get to grips with them and was either braking too early or out braking myself and running in too deep.

Sold those on and bought a full set of AP's as that's what the CSL is running so had the confidence with them from the off.

Thanks Derek,
There is a very fine line between keeping the car useable for the road and unfortunately this one has crossed it.

You can have a shot on the 28th and see for yourself.

Think i need to get my car more track focussed as only drive car to track. Need to get towbar for GTR

lovely project, and build, write up :thumbs:

Wish I had the time and ££ to do this, hopefully again in the future :beer:

[rstoughy]

Cheers Daz.
As you know from previous experience its hard work, always seems to be something needing done. I really enjoy doing the work though so that helps.

Looking great Paul. I had no hesitation selling to you as I knew it was going to a good home. How are you finding the AP now vs the Alcons?

[rstoughy]

Cheers mate. I'm loving it, just getting quicker and quicker as the arse in seat time increases.
Car 99% ready for this season and cant wait. Have a problem with the up shift paddle which is intermittent so need to change that out but that's it.

Taxed it today so had it out and about for a little run. Don't half get the attention.....lol

very nice Paul, ENJOY :thumbs:and good luck for the season :thumbs:

[rstoughy]

Cheers Steve,
Cant wait to get back out regular with it.
Contemplating entering a couple of rounds of another series as well just as a taster but unsure if I can afford the panel repairs after each round...lol

What you planning this year?

[Bounce]

Does look good in red Paul :thumbs:

[billyboysm3]

Paul, you and Derek need to pop down to Donny in the summer for a blast.

[rstoughy]

Billy,
Not done Donny since I had my last Escort Cosworth and that was 9yrs ago.
Need to do it again.

[Olive]

Excellent ! It should be a real joy to bring it on track.
Congrats

looking great Paul!

you take it to work the other Friday? Dad sent me an email saying someone had spied a red BMW race car in the car park :gayfight:

[rstoughy]

Hahaha yes I did Steve. Was that or the bus so the BM won.
