It's sad times. I have to say the V10 M3 has now gone to it's new owner, who I hope gets as much enjoyment out of the car as I have over the years.
I've gone for something considerably more boring to replace it. But having owned it for nearly a month now I'm kind of infatuated with it already:

Yikes - Paris with an Ex. I take it you get on? Wouldn't fancy it myself but i guess if kids are involved then you do what's necessary.

Thanks!

Got the new livery today. Here's a couple of pics.
I'll be at the track tomorrow, so I'll get more pictures and videos then.
Hope you like the new look..

Nice toys!!

I'm here.

Yes, sorry. The forum does get used and hasn't been superseded by another. Admittedly traffic and posts are very slow, especially at this time of year when few people are doing trackdays.

This is the sister website to Driftworks which is immensely popular and keeps the admins very busy. Also I've been a bit lazy with keeping up with the forum recently. Sorry about that.

Can you re-upload the pix all the way from the beginning? i just blew my engine in my E46 M3 yesterday and am possibly looking into building a S85 into the car aswell! pics would therefore be super usefull!

I am also looking at booking this day just got to tax me car again in feb and put some road miles on the Nissan turbo engine I have just put back in my E30 if all goes well with the road running I'll be there.

now complete with extended full nickson motorsport 6 point cage!! pics??

Who else has been enjoying the snow?

removed horrid mesh from bumper grills, and started doing the nearside arch fittings.

Done.

Clean!? How dare you? I haven't washed either on my cars in at least 4 months and when I say 'I' I mean the Greek blokes in the town centre. It's just the colour. It hides the dirt.

Pics indeed - and don't forget the door panel stuff for Blair! Haha

after to many projects that never get finished, i decided to just go and buy a car and actually get it on track, rather than buying a car, ripping it to pieces, and then never using it!

the porsche project has been abandoned, and the bmw 635 was swapped for this mitsubishi evo 4.

the car is mildly modified at the minute, it has tein lowering springs, hks inlet filter, hks dump valve, hks hard pipes, front mount intercooler, aluminium radiator, 3inch downpipe, 3inch decat and hks exhaust, running std boost so prob around the 300bhp mark at the minute. it also came with evo 6 injectors, ecu and walbro pump which will allow the car to be remapped.

it has a load of polybushes on the rear end, and front and rear strut braces.

i have also sourced a larger turbo from an 8mr 10.5 hotside which will do 400hp with remap.

car recently had an rs gearbox fitted along with an exedy clutch, it also has brand new discs all round, redstuff pads up front, and pagid track pads on the back, still on sliding calipers!

i got the car a few weeks ago, and then proceeded to book a track day at goodwood motor circuit on the 1st december! it was a 5 car 105db day. i went along with some mates, 1 in an e46 m3, the other a fireblade caterham.

did a brake fluid change for some superblue the eve before, and gave the car a check over, all was good, so went to bed ready for an early start the next day

the car was awsome all day, and goodwood circuit is a really good fast circuit with no room for mistakes. hit around 140mph on the lavant straight, and 130mph braking into st marys. didnt get overtaken by anything and being a 5 car day was in clear air most of the time which was great!

brakes were the only thing that let the car down, i never boiled them, but pedal travel was increased and after a few laps braking performance was pretty bad causing me to carry to much speed through some of the corners.
only other downfall was fuel which i did £140 worth! but i didnt expect anything else from an evo

car drove me there and back with no issues, all in all an awsome day, and so glad i managed to actually get on track finally rather than piss about building cars from the ground up!

since the track day i have stripped the interior out to save weight, i have some sparco evo seats to fit, extinguishers, bonnet pins, cut off etc. and i also went and splashed out on some alcon 6 pot race calipers an 365mm discs!! so braking shouldnt be an issue any more!

the plan is to source some 18inch wheels to clear the calipers, and some coilovers, then its back on track in jan!

oh and of course a weld in cage to go in possibly over xmas if i get time!!

will add pics up over the next few days, look forward to seeing some of you on track next year!

thanks
nick

cheeky fuck !! im screw now mate i sell biscuits for a living lol

more to stiffen up the rear since i don't realy use it on the road anymore

well that has to be the slippest track day i've done in the last 5 years, great fun dad drove my car more than I did seems driving for 4 month not driving and driving on v12 knock my confidance a little bit.





for the first time ever I didn't get black flag for some oversteer

Yeah to be fair they know their stuff, and I'd happily leave any car in their hands!

well done Blair

Good spot Blair!
