my new nurburgring whip

[Bishop]

lol I love how people think the addition of 2 more doors automatically means the car's now a sissy... I love my 4-door weekend warrior. Doesn't seem to hinder the ability to drive in circles at a high rate of speed.

[Cabriolet]

is a 4door stiffer or lighter? cause i always see 4door track e30s but i was like wtf thats not a sports car but a sedan.

Do you have a pic of the setup? What modification did you have to do to
fit it? Why not a two pedal assembly(brake/clutch)? lack of space?



Nice! keep up the good work.

I don't. When I get it off the lift, I'll grab some legit photo's of all the little things changed. I didn't fit the masters, I was in Afghanistan when they went in. To be honest, fitting them is beyond my mechanical ability. The guy who did it spent 15 years in the German Air force climbing around in Tornado's, and is a master technician. He was cussing up a storm about those damn masters.

The steering column had to be lowered a lot to clear the masters, and now it sits too low :). Once the car is registered, i'm going to remove the stock E30 sliders and Lee's seat adapters and mount the seat to the floor.

One more thing I forgot to mention that I like:
-your interior looks so proper. It's not all simply gut like most other dudes' track cars.

but my main question is why you chose a four door for a track car?

Thanks man! I want to do a few more things to clean it up a bit while still keeping the lighter is faster idea.

I choose a 4 door because they are better :)

Yes, blue knob controls the pedal bias, but it is rather krude adjustments, I'm excited to get the car drivable and start playing with the bias. The pedal assembly is a willwood hung reverse mount, and NOTHING was easy about fitting it!

So the M3 slave came in today, and the car can now shift gears! I think it might get registered tomorrow!

Nice! keep up the good work.

^^^sorry for the late post jus realized ..

[NuthinFancy]

only thing i'll pay is the possible damages that the shipping company might produce

Wrap the car in bubblewrap ....lol..jk...the car looks really good can't wait to see what cool stuff goes into it once its over seas.

Car is looking great! I can't wait to see it in action!

[Eric]

god damn, your stance looks so aggressive right now.
i love the wheels, i love the flares.

Thanks man! I want to poke the wheels out a bit more, but the front would hit. I have plenty of clearence at the top, but turning the wheel is where I run into problems, mostly hitting the front bumper and bodywork in the fenderwell.

I thought that the the cards were flocked...What is the fabric like? Microfiber?

So the blue knob controls the balance bar on an aftermarket pedal assembly?
(to clear the plenum on the s50?) Which setup did you choose?
Easy to install?

The door cards are just black tweed.

Lovely! Can`t wait to get my alpine with IE out next season! Would be fun to meet you at the Ring.

What`s the size on rims and tires?

Thanks! I swapped the IE flares out for the eurostop ones, and they have a whole lot more room for tires.

The wheel/tire setup is 18x9.5 et 22 CSL rep wheels with 245/35/18 Kuhmo XS tires. I'm running a 5mm spacer in the front and a 10mm in the rear. I'd love to swap these rims out for my 18 inch style 5's, but the front would need to be spaced like 30mm to clear the brakes, and that is just too much!

I stripped stock door cards I found in the junk yard down to just the fiberboard, then had them covered at a local upholstery shop.

Yes two bias knobs. The blue on in the dash isn't very fine as far as adjustment. clunk clunk clunk. I'm going to use the 2nd one for fine tunning of the rear bias.

Very nice build! Where did you get the door cards? Did you do
it yourself? I want to do something similar in my car.

Also is it me or you have two different brake bias valves in that pic?
(the blue knob where the hvac used to be and one under the ebrake)

Where did you get the dash flocked?

A guy here in germany didn't do a very good job at it.

[freeride53]

^ I'm guessing in Germany
