my new nurburgring whip

[Eric]

Hi Eric,

what size do you run on the wheels, and do you use E30 M3 or E36 parts to get 5 bolts?

I`m building a E30 that`s going to look almost as your car. It`s 2-doors alpine, E30 M3 drivline, IE flares, M5 wheels and S50B30 engine. Hope to see you at the Ring sometime. I`m planning a trip this summer, probably in july or august.

Hi R,

I'm running 215/40/17 Falken Azenis RT-615's. You can easily fit larger tires under the wheels, i just had to space mine out alot to fit the big willwood brakes. I've added 25mm of spacing to the front to clear the calipers.

The picture you linked, you can see the fender is messed up a bit in the front. I tried to fit 245/35/18 kuhmo XS's on a set of BBS RC's, and it rubbed badly, so i heated the fenders and started pulling them out. Unfortunately i ran out of time to get it finished neatly, so the old wheel/tire combo was used instead.

I have E30 M3 H&R coil overs for the 5 lug conversion.

I should have my S50B30 in the car soon as well :) I just bought a year pass this weekend, so i hope to not have the car down for too long. what are you doing for the brake booster, and do you by chance have a non EWS ECU?

and i thought this was kind of cool. a before and after...

when i bought it. maybe it was better then?

Hell nah!! :D

You have a euro motor too? we need to compare notes!

Well....yes and no. It came out of a euro e36 325i, hahaha. But really, the Seta is nice but blah. I wanna get my car swapped this spring/summer, then out to the 'ring. Even if I have to forgo the LW flywheel, cams, susp, etc for this year. But don't forget I am on the German system, so I HAVE to do my 5-lug for the bigger brakes before I swap.

[Alpina]

Eric,, why not buying a German car,, is that to much trouble

[Eric]

Damn Eric, my S50 swap is barely crawling along and now I see this. I have to get my ass moving. I did find a garage that I can use from April-on to do my swap. Now I just need a daily driver.....or a Touring to recieve the M50/5-lug.:pimp:

Eric can you email me a hi res of this one please,
jzkid3@yahoo.com

sure, on it's way!

Curious what your lap times on the ring are...
I can then compare to my times in Forza 3 :D
Would love to drive that track once.

I'm hovering right above 8:30 bridge to gantry on a fast lap with no traffic. I'm pretty consistently 8:45-9:00 with traffic/accidents, and about 9:00 up in the rain.

I hope to drop a lot of time with the new tires, and double the horsepower:drink:

I actually have a pic that looks almost identical to yours, but can't find it atm..

Nice chariot, keep it up!

cool man, we'll have to meet up sometime! nice wheels!

paint fenders white! WOULD look sooooo much better

no way!

Let's see pics of the Mtech DD!!:D

When's the next time you're going to the Ring? Might meet you up there.

I would if i wasn't working 12's for this dumb exercise. I'd love to make it to the ring soon, but it seams to be snowed in since mid december.

I was going to ask the same thing.
Looks pretty good, I've been taking a liking to 4door lately.

The sticker isn't from me, and i'm not sure which previous owner stuck it on there.
