Default My budget Track/Drift car at coombe

Had my first track day with this car at Castle Coombe the other week, wow what great fun it is just slightly hooked now.

I bought this 328 as a drifter but i seem to be doing more track days, got another 5 in the pipe line but only one drift day. I have done it to a budget so hopefully i should see some of my money back when i come to sell it.

I have realised a few flaws in the car after the day, one being it gets a bit tappy top end after 12 laps. I am fitting a m3 oil cooler kit to the car to hopefully get over this a little. Also the fast road mintex pads are rubbish.

Thanks for looking

Yeah they go okay in standard form, but my wife's 320d touring with a re-map wasnt far behind. Mine is not standard now it has the m50 inlet with a re-mapped ecu and a dave f air filter and housing. Should be about 230bhp going by everyone else's figures. Plus mine is stripped out
