SWEET pics of my E30 at Summit-Shenandoah!

E36 M3 - make sure you get those subframe reinforcements!!!!!

What he said...

E36 M3 would be a good move. I'd trade my E30 M30 for a good M3 in a heart beat... its just hard to find an E36 M3 that hasn't been beat to death by a ricer in this area.

an i buy your is front lip ? 8)

Hahaha it's gone already, along with a lot of other stuff. The vultures started circling about an hour after it happened. :roll:

I'll have a list of what's left to be parted-out on the page linked below... later this week probably.

This happend on a track in proper conditions if you were ripping it in a school zone and happend to hit a school bus or something you would of gotten the R3v title.

LOL

I Seriously waS laughin out loud at that haha

Sorry to hear about your wreck. It was a nice bronzit. I am glad you are unhurt and you are taking it in stride.

[DEV0 E30]

Damn, good thing you are looking at it in a positive manner.
Funniest wrecked e30 thread ever.
Sorry for your loss, but have fun with your next project.

Damn

Ouch.

That's a nasty hit, what config of the Shenandoah circuit were you guys running?

As I said on the spec e30 list, this reconfirms my decision to run an e30 as a track rat. A 2500 f'up hurts a lot worse than a 25k one.

That is why I decided not to make my IS300 into one and am looking for a hard roofed e30 instead.

Blame the rusty ass junko parts.

Full course, counterclockwise. This hit was against the left side wall at the exit of the right hander onto the straight that goes up under the bridge, like at about 0:57-0:58 in this video:

Oh and check it, I just found these, taken in the two green flag laps before the wreck:

Luckily, the parting-out process has been pretty painless so far. I may get $2500 back out of this car after all ;)

Thanks-

Blame the rusty ass junko parts.

Those were Meyle blue box tie rods, purchased under a BMW part number and installed less than a year (~10k miles) ago. They passed two pre-techs in the ten days before the event just fine. What else could I do?

The purists say meyle is crap but i think even the lemforder rods, under that much abuse in that amount of time, would have done the same thing eventually.

How much does surface rust effect the structural integrity of the rod?

I sell all that stuff daily and the Meyle stuff never looked any worse than the Lemforder or anything else. I sent pics along to the Meyle rep and even he was shocked to see such a thing.

Surface rust was minimal. The outers still have shiny paint on them. Closeup pics of JUST the snapped tie-rod coming soon... disassembly starts tonight :twisted:

Yup. Bronzits are suicidal, it is still true.

Sad to see your loss, but as others have said, its better that it was a cheap car that can be replaced...
