JiB 2 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 Wow, that's quick, that's about the same as some of the E30M3's isn't? Any idea how much the beast weighs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 Quite a lot quicker than the standard E30 M3's, but not as quick as the worked ones. Weighs in at a massive 1280 kgs at the moment, hope to get it down a bit more yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted May 1, 2009 Well, just bought a E23 745i for the S38B35 engine for the racecar. Will post pics when I get it home in a few weeks. With this, and my dogleg close ratio box, with the right diff, I hope to give some of the E36 M3's a bit of a fright. Be fun anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 535 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 Hey that is great news David. Now you and Brent can both have M5 motors. You may be in for a surprise next time you pit your lightened E28 against his tight good handling car. May be good timing to get that engine installed.

Ian 535 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 And by the way, if you have any 3.5 motor bits around that may help my old red e28 then let me know (eg extractors). I need more speed so I can keep watch of you two for a little longer before you dissappear out of sight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) OK, seems to have been a slow day in the office for most of you guys judging by some of the threads on here tonight, so see if you can come up with some ideas for me. The E28's gone in for a new coat of white paint, should get it back on Monday next week, and need some ideas for a vinyl scheme to make it stand out. Also going to get a new heart, not the M88 yet, but a new M30. The head's getting ported and flowed, and has come back with a flow rate for around 350 HP, so now I need all the rest to get it as close as I can. Looking at around a 304 cam, any comments on that? Have a set of stainless headers for it, and am going to run with the E34 intake and port the head to match, I'm using the earlier head but adding the larger E34 valves as the air flows quite a lot faster, so more torque. Then it's off to Gavin at Hi Velocity for a full remap and tune. And I have that lovely close ratio box and 3.46 LSD to add as well as a set of Whiteline sways, and a full set of new arms and bushes for the underside. Bring on the new season.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 What about something similar to the Wilson Security Falcon V8 Supercars paint scheme? You could add some green translucent vinyl to the headlights and instead of being 'the taxi' it can be 'the green eyed monster' I reckon it'd look cool as. Having seen the car in the flesh at the Hamilton 400, I would say they had the best color scheme in the field. Maybe a change from the black highlights to a more bmw color like blue or something would look awesome. And fluro green wing mirrors to match the headlights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 Looking at around a 304 cam, any comments on that? Bringing only my M10 knowledge (and I think M30 is effectively 1.5x M10), you'll need to be careful on rocker selection and/or valve springs and ensure piston to valve clearance. Oh, and PM sent on another matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
