my new nurburgring whip

[Eric]

you have no wing

Don't worry, and ultra ridiculous wing is soon to come!:drink:

[Huff]

Say.... What is that lurking by the door in your latest picture.. Do I see what I think I see?

[Bishop]

Yup and it was mint till he got nailed by some lady on the east coast a few months ago, but it's "repaired" now

Nice work! Love this car. BTW I have AST's and they are worth the money IMO. Got them from Jack if I had to do over I would have used Vorshlag. Prob a no brainer for you being you are in TX but just wanted to pass along my experience.

Yeah, I'd really really really really like to get a set of AST's. What series are you running? Only problem with switching my coil overs is that I'd have to find a set of E30 M3 struts for the AST's or hack up my good H&R coil overs. So no matter which way I look at it, upgrading the suspension will be expensive!

Here's the garage...

4100's are all i could afford. lol

BTW I'm on a z3 set up, e36m fronts and 318ti rears for the 5lug swap. 550 front springs and 650 rears. Feels incredible.

Eric, your cars will never cease to make me jealous.

[MG325i]

this picture has so much win. i love it!

[Jb325is]

One of my all time fav e30's for sure.. I had that picture of it coming out of karussell with the green m-systems as my desktop forever.

What flares are those and what offset are you running with the CSL reps? I want that on my car

I would like to know this as well. What are those flares? Is there room to fit 275s under them on 15x10 you think?

Tires/wheels specs found in earlier post "18x9.5 et 22 with 245/35/18 kuhmo XS's. 5mm spacers in the front and 10mm in the rear"

jean this might be the way for you to go ^^

Jean -- the flares are Ari's from eurostop. They have a lot more room than the IE 2002 flares, but since they are fiberglass, they are more brittle. My right front has a hairline crack from something already, but it hasn't deformed the shape at all.


I'm going to a HPDE tomorrow, so I've been doing some things with the car this last week. Most of the stuff has been in an attempt to bring temps down to a more reasonable level. My last track day in the middle of summer (90F) I had oil temps above 125c (260F)

-Oil change with 15w50 Joe Gibbs Driven XP6, this stuff doesn't break down under 280F. My mobile1 5w30 probably didn't like those high temps so much.
-Changed the Thermostat to a 50c BMW motorsport unit
-distilled water and water wetter only
-flashing on the side of the radiator to direct more air through the rad (hopefully)
-added a probe for water temp

Other fun things
-Stuck the front splitter out another 4 inches
-lowered the front splitter the height of a standard "i" lip
-re-balanced the tires and added aluminum tape so I don't loose another weight
-big gigantic rear wing
-bought a GoPro HD


Hopefully I remember to put all the bolts back correctly!

That's one sick 4 door! I demand action videos...maybe I skipped?

[T3rd Ferguson]

i gotta see this wing

[Jean]

Yes, lets see more pics.!

Also, you tried 2002 flares first, just would like to know specificall how much more room these offer :)
