sweet car. looks like it'll be fun to drive

it was a friend's HD camera.. something he got for free at SEMA... I dont know the brand.

What camera do you use?

[nickflic3]

I didnt see a use for it :???: so i just took it out. I will agree that most cars look pretty ghetto without a dash, but at the same time, this car was built around functionality and LOW COST. :)

I really actually meant it looked ok, no sarcasm intended lol However, I'm not about to go and remove mine... Maby on a track car, who knows? On the video it sounds like there is an echo in there haha

Nice vid. What camera do you use? I need to buy a camera for myself this upcoming track season, just getting ideas on what people run.

Whats with your car? Weak LSD, or just an open diff altogether? Sounds like its always picking up the inside wheel or something mid corner. Seems tail happy too :D

it was a 3.73 LSD that was worn out.

I now have a fully built "no expense spared" www.diffsonline.com 3.73 that should more than fix that little problem :)

Cool car! Love how beefy those tires look.

Loving the sig even more!

there is a video from the track... it was a last minute insertion so it's not relaly the best angle.. but you can see and hear the car go :) dont mind the stock steering wheel, i already replaced it.


brakes are OEM rotors with hawk blue's front and DS3000's rear. stainless lines and rebuilt calipers of course... 735i? master cyl, and a E21 brake booster... They dont have a lot of feel, but stop the car well...

Your front splitter is BEASTLY. Actually, everything on your car is... That looks like a blast to drive.

Kinda makes me want a dash delete lol Nice car

Be careful with front splitter/airdam if it is really strong. I have seen some horrific damage to cars that wouldn't have been so serious if the splitter had not been made of such a strong material. Off track excursions that involve humps or mounds of dirt quickly destroy composite/alumalite/pvc splitters, but sheet metal splitters have been witnessed to cause fairly significant damage as they hold their shape when getting torn off upon striking humps/mounds and tumble underneath the car as it keeps moving. I happen to like the appearance of yours. :)

Need a composite dash? ;)

Thanks for the insight. I "plan" on keeping this one on track ;)

Sure, I'll give you my address for you to send me the composite dash ;)

Hopefully your cars dont sell, so we can provide some E30 Terror in the south this coming season.

haha, i love that front splitter!



pics of the continental?

Well the aero work is done. It includes a 68" element from www.fulcrumaero.com as well as their splitter design. The splitter is extremely stiff and will be very effective. I can stand on it with minimal deflection and i'm 180lbs :)

It's not pretty, but I think E30's are ugly boxes anyway, so who cares, it's definitely going to be functional :D
