Dude?

Who is the on-call aeronautical engineer tonight?

I'm going to guess that the M3 has the best downforce out of the oem e30 stuff :p...






Anyway i think that the oem spoilers for non M3 e30's are to low to do anything anyway?

[Farbin Kaiber]

So the euro 320is kit isn't gonna give my friend better downforce on his M3?

[Jparkr]

cant be Anything M3 this is for a good cause and im looking for opinions. so please... dont get gay on me.

No thanks.

Shut up and leave and opinion. its for R3VRacing after all

[JasonC]

I was just pulling your chain. But i still think that all oem stuff is too low to do anything spoiler or wing wise. As for the lip, the "is" looks like it is just flat and has no slope to it. So that can't have much downforce. But the rieger might be the best for a lip with some downforce, but it's not oem.

dunno... how about tie down straps on the dyno machine ??? cant get better downforce than that can you ? ?? ?? ?

[Jparkr]

yea, but it is a rule we have to deal with, so even if it doesnt seem like alot of downforce being OEM/nonM, we have to deal with as much as we can get.
the only wing i can think of is Mtech 2, yet that seems much more cosmedic then helpful

good idea, but i dont think thats going to help us much on the track

[JasonC]

Can you put a splitter on the "is" lip? And the Mtech2 wing looks like it is mostly cosmedic like you said, so i'd use a mtech1 over the stock es/is spoiler.

[atomic]

good idea, but i dont think thats going to help us much on the track

yeah I figured as much


I am going to go out on a limb and GUESS that a stock e30 really does not produce a lot of downforce on the rear end.... Well at least not enough to matter one way or another anyways.... IMHO

[Jparkr]

hmm as for the splitter we cant do that because it wasnt a OEM part. not that i could find anyway.

Cool thats 3 Mtech 1 lips

Anyone else?
