Hey Oli.  What end of the country have you ended up in?

I got back a few years ago.  Only just pulling the race car out of storage after 6 years.

Welcome back, when you say “we” does that mean you’ve brought Jack back with you..?😆

Welcome. Back. Must have won the lottery - MIQ at all. 😂

 

Yep. Was actually back in Dec 2020.
Just got the very start of MIQ. I was in Rotorua, had a great time actually. But managed to get in before the backlog started.

OK Folks.

So the next project is the new daily..

What is is? - E30 coupe, Ex pickapart shell from years back, sat in a paddock for the last few years.

What will it be? - E30 318i (M44) turbo.. Circa 350ish WHP,  handle like a race car, look sharp, yet feel like a Bentley when you are in it..

Here is some turbo parts porn whilst i formulate some photos and more details about the project.. 

Hey folks..

Thought id spend some time for a bit of a write up here to share with you all one of the little projects of mine from last year.

So...


Lets start at the start.

I come back to NZ... Catch up with some old friends, and between us we decide its a good idea to go endurance racing..


Great.. We have a car, E36 325i.. Cage, coilovers and a slippy diff.. We are sorted. So off we go.

Well after a couple of 8hour events at taupo and consistently getting JUST beaten by a Sanyong Ute with 120L fuel tank that could run 2 less pit stops than us.. We decided to take action..  We needed a bigger fuel tank..

Well.. 9 months later and more than a few hours.. We end up with the "new car"....
What goal posts??? 


Details to follow!!

Hey folks.

The name is Oli.

Some of you from back in the early days may remember me.. Well i used to be a part of the BMW scene way back when.. But since left to pursue a Motorsport career around the world.

Well now we are back. .Back in NZ, Back with BMW's and back making some really cool stuff.

Great to be back guys!!!
