    I want to know suspension and brakes, cooling systems for engine, box and trans, brake master cylinder...etc.

    Engine im not sure it can be 3.2 pistons on a 3.0lt crank... that would give him slightly more discplacement than a std S50b30euro, his throw is 86mm and bore would be 86.4mm ... thats 3025cc and doesn't his car run in C Mod, which I think has a limit of 2800cc or something ? (I'm prob wrong about this)

      I believe the setup could have changed even more since this article...

        I believe he is running Moton triples now (last I saw the car it was on GC Advanced design). Rear trailing aarms are M coupe (I sold it to him). Not sure on the front brakes. I know he used to have E36 M3 brakes, but then he went to Stoptech? I think he has changed again. Cooling system for engine is pretty much stock E36. Trans is an E36 M3 5 speed. IIRC, he had an E34 brake booster system.

        The 3L crank is offset 7 mm to get the required displacement limit (he is in DM which is limited to 2980cc, CM is 2981 to 3499).

          Thanks for the info guys :) ... doesn't seem as hardcore as i thought it was, still a badass car...

          Wonder what the fuel tank does with regards to drag, seeing as the rear valace has been cut away (presumably to reduce drag) but then the tank is in the direct airflow.

            I love the aura that surrounds this car :)
            This is what, the 5th time it has been featured on r3v?

              Pretty hardcore for a club-level racer if you ask me. :)
