Fitted the studs

Front


Rear


Probably should have gone shorter on the rear but it will make hanging wheels quicker and easier

Just about ready for the track day now
Just hope it isn't too wet as the R888's may not be that good..?

Looking good. You didn't get let off then?
no, it was a young female police officer being trained so everything was by the book. I think I'm fked.
May have to hold off insuring the M3 for a bit if the premium comes up. This is the trouble with having 3 cars to insure.

Donington tonight (Thursday) - 5 to 8

It was a bit wet but still fun.
First time I have used the R888's and with it being wet, decided to take it easy. I was very impressed and think they are better in the wet than my road tyres (Continental Sport Contact).
I guess if there was standing water, it may be another story.

Lots of mice cars at Donington in the evening, some brave drivers too smile
Only one crash (Caterham in to the pit wall) but may spins (not me this time).

Just need to give the car the once over now and see if I can sort out the rough idle. It is down on power for sure. Hopefully it is something simple like the MAF.

Anglesey is just a few weeks away

You selling those 8.5J wheels because they don't fit makes me worry about the Z4 wheels I've got and the 9J Team Dynamics I've got eek
They fit the rear ok but not the front of the E36
They are 8.5J x17 ET 50
They will fit with a spacer but not ideal.

I have won a rear diffuser from Total Dynamic Motorsport on their face book competition.

Here is an example





Think it will look really good when I finally get around to having it fitted.

So, it's a bit slow on the M3 front. I have not even seen the car for 6 months as it's in storage.
Not wanting to be bored however, I got a new toy....

Hope you get away with points and no court
Court, 4 points and £160 fine
I think I did ok out of it to be honest. I couldn't attend as I was at sea but sent a letter stating how sorry I was etc.

Porsche insurance didn't change in price with the 4 points on so happy days...

Thanks for the info Custard. There are some cheap ones on eBay so a possible wet set-up project...

Green Laning is great, I may be addicted

So, still not got the M3 out of storage yet but did just pay up for Knockhill in August with the BMWCC.

New baby arrived 4 weeks ago so obviously I needed a new baby chariot 😄👶🏻

So, unless I give Photobucket $40 per month, none of the pictures will show on this thread anymore furious

On a lighter note, car came out of storage and just passed its MOT with no advisories smile

I'm going to advertise for sale very soon so if anybody is interested, give me a shout
