Road Legal Track Car on a Budget

Recommended Posts

^ Just pedal feel, keeping it firm on the track. Don't have any personal experience yet cause there is no fluid in there atm and car is chilling on the jacks as usual :D. And thanks James.

Pimpin!

Braided lines make the shitty e30 brake feel a little less poo, every little bit helps! I've got solid lines in the back now lol.

Yup :) Had no problems. They were sold to me as not needing a cert, markings on the yellow collar are the standard needed apparently.

$160 to my door. (Obviously its not a real OMP wheel, but it's a bloody good copy lol).

Max, I would piss several people off if I did that, I miles well put a m3 badge on the back too, the only things remotely 'M' on my car are the bigger 51mm front struts. So maybe not haha. And ya it bolts right on to a normal boss kit.

Awesome wheel! Are you going to lower the steering column at all? I assume you have quite low race seats ha

Nice wheel bro :lol:

/Edit - IMO remove the dark surround that comes with it. I reckon it looks better without it.

Um I drove the car last night and the race seat is low but not low low, I'm not that short so its liveable atm, could be a project down the line.

Cheers man, pretty much my car is as cool as yours now :wub: haha I will give it a stab.

Thanks man, yeah it did, it came with the 'OMP' centre, although its not a real OMP wheel.

Got car back terrorising the streets last night, goes so much better, is so tight now. Only problem was I have massive problems with bubbles in the brake lines particulary the front lines, anyone got any tips?

- The pedal felt nice and firm after bleeding them, then drop it off the jacks and roll it out of the garage and its sooooo soft. Frustrating. <_<

Outdoor snap with wheels on, been busy today so only got one done, and the car is hella dirty. Is all wheel aligned now, feels heaps better. Just need to fix the blasted brakes and sort rear sway bar, managed to snap a rear link last night when rolling it back and forth and it got caught in the driveshaft <_<. More tuning to come :)

Hope you guys like, I am well stoked with the result.

Haha yeah it still pulls alright, it's essentially the same as the race series 318i's minus the cam and the chip so it's not sluggish. Yeah m50 will be awesome, just need to decide now when I do that wether I swap to a coupe shell and cage it and swap the good bits over :D got 6 months to decide haha. Cheers James.
