Default my e36 track car

as it looks like this may become an ongoing project i think i might start a thread.wont be as glamarous as most but here goes.........

after doing a couple of trackdays in my bmw e39 m5 i found that i really enjoyed it and am hoping to do many more.however the m5 quickly made way for an e46 m3 smg-perfect thought i,until it sank in that it was a hell of a lot of money to be throwing round a track.

so a cheaper alternative was required that would be quick enough to enjoy,reliable enough to take a track day and maybe even get me to germany......

there was a few options,evo 4,impreza sti,integra type r,m3 e36......

i then knew about a bmw on here for sale that may just fit the bill...........

red e36 coupe fitted with all m3 running gear,m3 interior,18" alloys,etc etc for very sensible money-especially as i could recoup some cash from selling the alloys and trim.....

last week i collected the car and was pleasantly surprised with its overall condition.engine sounded strong and sweet,which was the main thing.,,,diff just rebuilt......superb!


a pic of the car on the truck...


i had already sourced a set of 17" e36 m3 alloys which i was planning to use as track tyres in this size would be cheaper!,so on they went.
whilst wheels were off i could see confirmation that the car had bilstein shocks with eibach springs,m3 brakes with braided hoses-albeit with cheap textar pads!


onto ebay goes the interior-sold in 24 hrs!

quick trip to demon tweeks and ive now got a new seat/runner/harness.
and some ds3000 pads!
