MauR's E30 - Track Car & "Daily"

[MauR_95]

Hi all. I continued...

After 3 years in Germany. I decided to return to my home country, Spain.

We started the trip with my two cars (E30 and E87) (together with a friend).

Hi all. I continued...

My first trackday with the E30 in Spain. In Calafat, Tarragona (Spain), one month after returning from Germany.






I had some problems that day.

Unfortunately, I did not calculate the wear of the brake pads and could not improve the time set for the first position.








After the hot day, I ended up taking a walk through the Mediterranean lands of Spain.

Hi all. I continued...

The next day, take advantage of the morning to go on a trip through the mountains.




The day didn't end very well, a car jumped a stop sign and damaged my front bumper.

Hi all. I continued...

Fortunately, the previous accident did not affect the suspension system, it was just visual damage. I continued to enjoy the car until the new parts arrived.










Once the bumper is painted, take the opportunity to apply anti-gravel to the back of the bumper to prevent future rust.






Finished.

Hi all. I continued...

A few months later, I decided it was time to get serious with the car. So I decided to restore the entire underside of the chassis, so grab some popcorn because there is a lot to show.

I put the car on the lift to take pictures before starting:

To be disassembled.

Parts that make my heart ache.

I made some carbon fiber rear covers for the fuel pump.










1: 0,28616lb to 0,06261lb
2: 0,6045lb to 0,14727lb

Weld the reinforcements to the chassis, wishbones and rear camber kit.

[MauR_95]

Clean and brush the entire underside of the car. Then apply 3 coats of epoxy and finish with 2 coats of antigravel.






Also paint the engine bay in gloss black.




Clean fuel tank.

The front part of the engine vahia was damaged due to a blow from one of its previous owners on the lower part.

I took the opportunity to reinforce the area and get the maximum space to channel the air to the radiator and that this was not partially covered.
