Forrest 35 Report post Posted September 27, 2009 Andrew, no I have decided to keep it my other option was looking not very cost effective. At the end of the day I would rather go fast than look good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) Okay so ran at a clubmans track day on Saturday at Manfield. Only took me 18 months to finally drive a E30 on the track again but I did it. Car ran fantastically, suspension modifications were well worth it, and those R888's are quite literally worth their weight in gold. Brakes had feel all day, although they were a little spongy so I am going to put in a E32 7 series master cylinder in at some point. As many would have seen from the other thread lost a fan belt through the esses and subsequnently caused the car to overheat and from my amateur diagnosis I think I have done some damage to the motor, there is now a nasty knock and is sounding pretty rough early in the rev range, but time will tell, I was definitely down on power all day long, lacking about 15 to 20kph down the back straight. Anyway here are the pics, there are a couple other BS'ers in them, Kerry (bmpower) in the burgandy E30 and Oli (sydwayze30 in the champagne colored E30. Estimated I would've been running 1.30's and was starting to fly before the belt came off and ruined the day. Car and driver have massive potential and improvements to be made. 3/5 E30's there on the day Me down the front straight with Kerry in tow Also through the esses Looking, and sounding awesome Even let my Dad take it for a spin with my GF riding shotgun, even he said it needs a M50 now Edited October 4, 2009 by Forrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 You're allowed to drive on the track without helmets? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 ^ Yeap, earlier in the day in the 'slower' class. It was a very relaxed day, once the pace heated up later in the day helmets were compulsory in all classes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
