S50 E30 With BBS RS 003's...56k Warning...

[Ben Carufel]

Ben, any planned exterior mods to the car?

RS's look awesome man.

Not really. Take care of some little dings and stone chips, that's about it. After that it's BBK and getting the interior squared away and the fire system set up. Maybe a few more carbon fiber goodies somewhere along the line...

Thats the best part of the car... Cage + carbon + VDO + Recaros = heaven...

Yeah. I'm planning to switch out the Recaros for some kevlar Cobra one piece seats -- I'm not a huge huge fan of reclineable seats in a race car. Also going to get a pair of Momo wheels, one alcantara and one leather, so that I can use the leather one when I'm not wearing gloves and the alcantara one when I am.

I'd also like to do a full camera setup with a bunch of bullet cams. I'd like one on the driver's feet, one on the cage facing back at the driver (from the front passenger side corner), one facing out the front, and one facing out the rear. I need to find someone who has come up with a solid state CF-card writing processor that can handle 4 video streams.

I also would like to put a fuel cell in the trunk, but would prefer to use the stock filler location. Not sure if that's possible yet.

Needs diving boards...

BTW are you saying I should swap the diving boards from the iX onto the S50 car?

:-P

What do you think this is, Bimmerforums?

[CleanAzzE30z]

Looks good both ways. But for being 16" they look smaller than mine on the eta. Maybe cuz mine have black centers??? hmmm. nice either way though.

I'm thinking about something like that actually. The big ricewing that came with the spare trunklid is, it has been determined, useless.

Eewweweewewwwww

When I get back from Europe in mid May, some ricer off Craigslist is gonna LOVE that wing ;).

[kellie]

This car...I don't remember what he called it. He owned it when it was bone stock, as did I.

What he called it is irrelevant. The car's new name is Tyrone, and the iX is Shaniqua. That's just the way it is....nothing to be ashamed of.

[Mtriple]

Tyrone, lol...


I bought the wing from Alex right after my first track outing at BIR. 130mph into turn one was a litlle bit unnerving with the car tending to "float" a little.

I never got the chance to run the ricer wing but I would imagine it helped a little...

[kellie]

He should put an STi wing on it for track days. It would match the gold wheels that he just sold.

[e30sd]

you dont race. its a fucking e30.

however if you buy a gnarly wing you will for sure dominate forum coolness rankings.

i still want a drive.
