Added some autox pictures on the front page.

Nitto NT01. Similar to the Toyo RA1 and R888. Definitely a track-oriented tire. Stickier than the current fast street tires for sure.

^This. 225-45-15. I wish I had a budget for A6's, but I do not. I got those for 111 each, so Im happy.

looks good, would love to see some of it outside though!

Just got back from the autox. I took some pictures while I was there. So I will post those in a bit. Man, it was a great day for STR and SMF imo. Loved watching those two classes battle it out. Nice driving, Chris!

What tires are those? They look like sticky street tire to me??

This logical fallacy is one of the most annoying that I see perpetuated.

BMW designed the car with plastic radiator endtanks, you MUST use plastic radiator endtanks!

BMW designed the car with 14x6" wheels, you MUST use 14x6" wheels!




Don't stay stupid shit like that. Thx.

I can say as many stupid things as I like, thank you. I am well-versed in all things stupid.

Just read this whole thread. Can't wait to see the set up with racing wheels on.

Here you go. Sorry for the shitty cell phone pictures. Girlfriend is bogarting the camera. Anyways, we are both racing tomorrow (yup, I convinced her to race!). So, there will be some nice pictures to go with that.

Also, no rubbing as of yet. Womped it around neighborhood with race rubber on a little, the race will tell.

LOL at this thread.

yep, that's why BMW designed the E30 to have a factory swaybar. Because they are pointless.

running a rear sway on an E30 is kinda pointless imho.

running a rear sway on an E30 is kinda pointless imho. Just run the stiffest spring you can and call it a day. You want to MINIMIZE movement back there, since it's so loose to begin with.

Remember that this is coming from the engineer that wants everything to do with cars other than work on them.

Yup. I like driving cars more than working on them, so ill gladly spend some more money for a bolt on setup that foesnt require hours of time to diy together.

[clarkkey594]

to save what, $200 vs buying it all as a kit? Penny wise and pound foolish, the hours you'd spend to DIY could be better spent doing something else and not worrying if you have everything included or not.

Not to piss anyone off, but that was my thought process exactly. I have access to a welding machine and can weld. No powder coating though. Honestly, 200 for cut housings/weld/swaybar reinforcement tabs/powdercoating is not bad.
