BMW E36 M3 3.0 project

Civics a good car. Cracking engine. At 21 you might be eligible for classic car insurance then buy a cheap daily . How about a Clio cup. Brill fun and cheap to buy. Think it would be cheaper than civic to insure.

Long overdue update. Group n oil restrictor fitted and decent brake fluid added. Did first trackday in August and the front tyres were shredded. Bought some spare wheels and had them sorted.

Big thanks to the lads at Top Marques Wheel Refurbishment in stoke. They've done a cracking job on these. They were in a right state. Federal 595rsr fitted. Excuse the dirty golf in the background. Nightmare keeping the daily clean at the moment.

They get some good reviews. Were very cheap at £78 each delivered so we'll see. How's the c4s? Bet you haven't driven it in the dry yet?

[jbaddeley]

Trying them out at oulton on 25th. Hope you are well.

[jbaddeley]

Yes mate.

[jbaddeley]

Welcome deana

[jbaddeley]

Yes its a pity. Will have to consult diaries and get one booked when you are about - my problem is that unless its school holidays its weekend only. How long you off for and when are you back after your next trip at sea.

[jbaddeley]

Certainly was. Sun came out when I got to langollen and the roads back towards whit church and nan twich we're drying out. Loving that c4s Ben. Just off to classifieds.

Hey Adam were you heading to the triangle? It was deserted this morning. Should be at donnington 16 the march if you fancy a spin.

[jbaddeley]

What a pita. Crept over those new speed bumps on the bridge. Seem far too high too me.

[jbaddeley]

A bit overdue. Fitted oil restrictor at the end of last summer and have decent brake pads and fluid in now. Going to upgrade to APs soon and shorten the diff ratio.

Done a few trackdays now and very pleased with it overall . After a bit of spit and polish today a professional detail is now on the list to do!

[jbaddeley]

Bit of an update. Cars been in to Autobahn BMW and MERC specialist in Halesowen. Big thanks to Rob and the lads. Proper enthusiasts and experts.
Valve clearances checked and adjusted, oil and filter change, oil diverter valve fitted, rear brake lines replaced with copper items, constant pressure valves and other dodgy gaskets replaced, exhaust brackets replaced then a mop and polish and general check over. Car looks great and feels quicker.




And an early morning meet at 6am before a blast out around wales with some other tasty motors.

[jbaddeley]

Not sure mate. Probably July. Got holidays and quite a bit on over next few weeks. Will let you know. Gonna bring the cup?

Speak to Fred. He'll get you sorted.

[jbaddeley]

He's a picture my Dad was playing with after the blast and a washdown on Sunday.

[jbaddeley]

Will do. Need to get out in it soon. Not driven it since September. Have improved the steering rack and got a deal sorted on a donor diff though.

[jbaddeley]

Hi mate. Not sure yet. Don't think 911 will be a big enough thrill against the daily. Going to get the bm ready for you, enjoy that some more then reconsider. Been browsing lotus exiges but not sure if I'll be able to get out of one when its int he garage. Also like cayman r but again it won't be much quicker than the golf. What would you go for?
