This is my latest RW, custom designed by Mr RW for me, so im a bit of a fan Maiden flight in tokoroa with the rocket man (Bruce Simpson) so I was being gentle with it making sure nothing exploded/melted, its doing around ~180 mph. Datalogger melted so I didnt get any pitot static airspeed numbers which sucked. This one is sitting at 2.2kW, previous one smoked a bugatti veyron to 140mph with 1.4kW, so this should deal to the veyron SS!

Its getting cheaper and cheaper. I have a few ritewings, none FPV (yet...), A zephyr can be set up for $500, add another $400 for an average radio, and ~1k for FPV gear and do the same as the vids. Same as anything though, you can spend much more or less To do it "full bling" roughly double the price, but you'd have HD FPV goggles and a fricken sweet setup! NZ CAA/NZMAA law at the moment doesnt really cover FPV. "legally" you cant fly beyond visual range, and you need a spotter watching your plane and ready to grab the sticks incase it goes pear shaped. This has been around awhile, and its pretty nuts -

Im the stig.

http://vimeo.com/guerillasoarer/videos - This guy Trappy is a loose unit, does some awesome stuff, and gets in lots of trouble for it. Hes had lawsuits for smashing into ski lifts, and chasing cars http://vimeo.com/13283846

Totally off topic, but this made me say Wow, its EPIC http://vimeo.com/14541093

Added benefit of never having to vacuum your car ever again, just hit the gas pedal

Is that a TT lexus V8? Ditch the bags/interior/wheels/pinkness and it'd be pretty wicked!

Looks pretty trick, whatya rekon? M stripes might be added to my todo list

Do E30 coupes have central locking standard? I only ask as I found a solenoid lock thing for the gas cap in my car, but AFAIK, my car doesnt have central locking, or it doesnt work

Chur thanks!, that looks swheet, wonder how it would look on a black e30 coupe, my photoshop skills are shite

Stumbled across this on realoem, and dont recall ever seeing them on an E30, anyone got a pic? http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=...hg=51&fg=25

Might be a repost, but this thing is nuts

Good question, wondering the same myself. Im pulling the recaros to bits at the moment, see if I can fix the foam in the bolster, need to find a friend in the seat shop at work and see if he/she can fix the rips for some chocolate biscuits Need sliders so can fit toys in the back seats easier, before I build my trailer

Hahaha, didnt even realise it was the same seats I pm'd you about, or the same person Still got the rails?

Ahhh yup, that was me

Seat rails/mounts prefer sliding ones, to fit Recaro SR2's into an E30, anyone got anything?

PM'd

Any value difference between tech 1 and tech 2 ya rekon? I paid 2grand for my very average condition 85 tech 1 323 manual coupe with 120 mile on the clock, 3 years ago. Is it a genuine tech 1?, dunno, dont have the build sheet. But it does have Mtech sway bars and the kit AFAIK is factory. Got poverty pack interior however, getrag 260 box and no LSD. Is it a tech 1, or simply a 323 with some option boxes ticked (odd stuff like heated squirters too), and whats the difference? Is there a magic option box that makes it an Mtech car, or is an Mtech car simple one with all the boxes ticked? Personally I think the E30 prices are about right, there are some dreamers though. E36's are very cheap, but IMHO they dont have the same appeal as an E30, aint got no soul

Any chance of some pics of the coupe interior?

BMW should hire the guy who penned the new stratos too design new bimmers. Old Stratos looked awesome, new one looks just as good, just more modern, and it still looks like a stratos! Unlike the new bimmers which seem to be some sorta hybrid hyundai/mitsubishi/dropped pie...

Damn that is cool. Shortened Scuderia 430 is the underneath the carbon body. Website is total rubbish though...

Damn, its sounds the business!

Is it the top of the strut tower that rips open? Is it a common thing? I busted both mine a week after I put new shocks and springs in, thought it was kinda random at the time Cut out the top of the tower and welded in some ~5mm steel plates, been fine since.

Sell that nasty mazda and go all out on the bimmer Guy in the black coupe is a loose unit, but he sure can drive.
