Well thought i'd introduce myself
I'm jamie and i'm 16
I don't have a car but have a passion for them (a big one)
My dad has a heavily modified M3 which will be nearing completion soon.
So i think a new project is in order
So the question is how much will it cost to build a 500hp track monster?
I would like to know about:
Brakes
Suspension
Engine
Bushes
Drivetrain
Cage
Etc
Also what would be the best car to use preferbly Rwd
Cheers

Saw the car in PBMW the other month
.
Only thing I didn't like was the wheels (too bling for an E30 M3 - needs some BBS items
).
You can blow Ł30k easily on a 500bhp track car, and using the best of everything would take that up to Ł45-50k (including the cost of the car).
You could do it for less, but it would be a big compromise.

From what i've read/heard the E30 handles much much better than E46.
Brakes can't comment.
More to go rong.
Nah E30 looks better

M3 looks really nice. Love the old E30 M3's. Shame the wheels and plates don't do it any justice though.
Does your dad drive it like this http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...e93394b777.htm
