Not sure yet. The guys doing the work JWA racing are designing and fitting it. They've seen the turnermotorsport design to get them started. I'll post up some pictures as the work progresses.
NIce one thanks,
I only ask as it's one of the jobs I'm looking at doing as well so the design would be helpful.

Cheers,


Have a look on turner Motorsport site and there are detailed plans. I'd copy link for you but haven't sussed out how to on iPad yet. Mine should be done this week and as I said I'll post pictures. Where are you based?

Quick update with moe pictures of back end strip.


















Now ready power flex bushes. May get parts sandblasted and powder coated if funds allow.

[jbaddeley]

Some parts back from blasting and ready for powder coating.

Crank and water pump also inspected. Progress steady but it's coming together.

Parts now back from powdercoaters and ready for bushes.

[jbaddeley]

Should be ready in next couple of weeks. Will give you a shout when it's done.

Nice work so far although I'm slightly confused at why you've powder coated the rear salad tongs ( control arms ) when new can be bought for very little, aswell as not being greatly substantial if track driving.

A set of adjustable rear arms is probably £150 on your door step.
Safety and more adjustability.

Fair point wackojacko. Something we've possibly overlooked. Many thanks Jbad.

Quick update. Back end rebuild commences.

[jbaddeley]

And sump baffle ready for fitting.

[jbaddeley]

Nice one. Would love a drive of a gt3. When I've got over the bill you'll see her at oulton. Regards jbad.

[jbaddeley]

Will take you for a quick blast when it's done smiley. Some more pic updates of baffle fitted and front suspension rebuild. New tie rod ends on the way as the current ones are seized due to corrosion and no longer allowing adjustability in set up.











New brake discs and pads to be fitted as temporary measure until I can afford porsche brembo upgrade then after setting up suspension should be good to go. Cheers Jbad.

Hi Bully. At the moment the car is set up at about a third of the adjustability so quite soft but it feels so much better I'm quite happy with this at the moment. When I do my first trackday The guys who have set it up should hopefully help me to tweak it but I'm expecting that it will be pretty good in its current state. will check what camber they have set at the front. Regards Jbad.

[jbaddeley]

Not sure where you are in the midlands, but if you fancy a run out, sounds like Bric whose evo e36 is on here is also up for it. Regards Jbad.

[jbaddeley]

There's a converted one for sale. Can't remember if its on cutters or bm owners. Will have a look.

There you go. Looks nice.

[jbaddeley]

Yours is looking good bully. I've put some pagid discs and ferodo pads on the front as a temporary measure until I can afford a bbk. Seems to stop really well on the road. Might decide to do the backs with same set up and get some cooling to the the fronts and try this as it will be much cheaper. I foolishly ordered the rally road porsche brackets before running out of money for the time being , currently sitting in a cupboard at home. Think might no ok without bbk from what you have found. When you are up for a run pm me.vi live just off the A50 10 min from uttoxeter.

[jbaddeley]

Had a run out this morning. A few pics. Can you name the location?

[jbaddeley]

Correct. Definitely meet up soon. Got a busy couple of weekends coming up. What you upto bank holiday weekend?
