BMW E36 M3 Evo

[BullyB]

Just not enough daylight hours in the day
I needed to try my new snow foam toy

[BullyB]

Off to Donington this weekend so finishing a few jobs

A bit of cold air induction




Should work a bit

Also fitted a cone behind the grill t help divert a bit of air to the filter. The original plastic scoop thing is missing



Been to the weigh-bridge



That is 60 KG less than last time.
The weight is taken with a 100% full tank of fuel



Then repainted the grill and cone

Not bad progress as I still have more carpet and trim to remove

I used to work at Head office, your not the only one with one of those weighbridge tickets

[BullyB]

I thought 8 quid was a bit steep

[BullyB]

Just did a track day at Donington Park.
Was wet first thing but turned in to a fantastic morning. The rain hit again in the afternoon.
I can confirm that the Federal tyres are not too good in the wet and that I'm not that skilled...

First spin:

Second spin (in the afternoon)




I did however get a personal best around the National Circuit which is good

[BullyB]

As I'm off back to work soon I have decided to remove the calipers and brackets for overhaul. I managed to get 30% off with the Black Friday deal with the Brake Calliper Specialists.

I dropped my 3 in almost exactly the same place in the wet at Don a few months back. Glad to see the damage isn't to heavy.

[BullyB]

the pictures say it all....

[(steven)]

Looking good. Let us know how you get on with these.

I still can't decide whether I go large on a BBK or go down the overhaul route on mine.

[custardkid]

just go APs...

[jbaddeley]

Agree with custard, although Bully has stopped a fair bit of weight out.

[BullyB]

I was going to go with AP's... very nearly went for it but decided in the end to go snowboarding and just overhaul the originals.
Can't see the car getting used much for a bit anyway as I have loads on.
I got 30% off the original quote so upgraded to the good quality paint.

Fair play mate. Let me know when you are back. Spring hoonage time soon. I've got a news megane 275 cups with ohlins, akroprovic kit on order. Won't be here until summer until end of May though.

I'm loving this car, looks uber aggressive at the front.

[BullyB]

Collecting the car tomorrow from its storage.

Got it some new shoes as a welcome back treat







Just need to put them on the wheels that I refurbished last year

[jbaddeley]

All out on the 888s then !😜

[BullyB]

fitted..

[BullyB]

I have also fitted some bonnet pins as the corners were lifting up when going fast...







I think I,m going to put a round sticker under each catch to protect the bonnet.
