Yes, I know wallowy suspension... some serious suspension was the next upgrade, but never got 2 it as the car was totaled (guess it makes way for better things, s50b30euro e30 Race car, not just a track car)

Nothing to be embarrassed about from what I saw. :D
I'm a firm believer in running what you brung. You leave the track with that much higher understanding of just what its limits are and, by extension, are less likely to break those limits on the streets. Bad weather is like cranking up the volume on the radio. When you feel the car out of shape in poor conditions, you already know how to get it back under control. You've been out there, at the limits, and back again. When it counts, such as with oncoming traffic or something unexpected in the road, you're reacting with experience... not practicing for the first time. :)
As an aide, it was nice to see you hold off the MkV GTI for a bit. I have one of each now; a MkV GTI and an E30 325i coupe. I bought the coupe as insurance against wrecking the GTI on track while still paying for it. Though a "slower" car, your drive makes is clear to me it is not merely the car. I am now very excited about getting my E30 track ready.- Sco

To be honest, I drove away from that Mk5 Gti , straight line and corners :) , the only 3 cars that gave me grief that day were the Noble, Porsche, Lotus ExigeOriginally posted by Scotaku View Post
I really do miss that car,
I have done a bit of a write up on my motor before... I'm not sure but you should be able to find it on the forum.
Haha, There are loads of 325iS's at our BMW Track Days... but only the turboed ones were ever anywhere near as quick as me, except for the one ex Group N race car, which is damn fast... otherwise, nothing much in the iS dept was as quick as me.Comment

I'd think that boosted m20 wouldn't be as quick as NA on track, since the boost would give you hard time on cornerssigpicComment

Mods list for which car ? I'm not that clued up on the Turbo car, I know it was a 2.7lt turbo, with 330mm disc's on Wilwood 6 Piston Callipers, and a Bolt in cage... but other than that I dont know.
In my car it was a 2.9lt M20 ( I know I've posted the mods on here, but was very extensive, only thing stock in the motor were the rods)
Suspension wise it had H&R Sport springs upfront, with Compressed e30 M3 springs in the rear... nothing special.
It had 2 Buckets in the car with Harnesses and I pulled out the sound deadening, and added oil pressure and temp gauges.Comment
