Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Hi, decided it was time to post some pics of the car. It has the rear suspension setup, but is still sitting on the std E30 front, just waiting for the race spring setup to be finalised. It's also sitting on 60 series tyres on Conrod's old baskets at the moment, 50 series tyres shouldn't be far away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Car looks great and bloody impressed with the costs i thought it would be a lot more. I have to get me a race car. Our car WILL cost a lot more. There is nothing like E30s with roll cages bolted in. Badass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 12, 2006 Hi Andy, the shroud will go back on soon although it doesn't seem to have any heating problems with it off, the air intake is a Pipercross Viper Induction System - Carbon Fibre, feeds from the front valance. Badge is Hartge came on the car, aftermarket, probably take off at some stage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 711 Report post Posted August 20, 2006 Are they street legal? And how much would they cost 'joe public'? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 20, 2006 Yes, they are street legal, as for cost, I don't know, but would be sure they are still very cheap compared to the rest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
