bolarbag Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 As its a track car I reckon you'll probably strip the interior, but just worth a mention I drove a stock one and it felt far too cosy and I'm 6''3, I remember from prvious posts that you are quite a tall lad, I suppose nothing a bucket seat and brackets wouldnt sort out;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thats good point about the interior, I'm only 6 foot and found the RX7 uncomfortably tight inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Congratulations mate. Why not get a cheap RZ 6 speed and strip it to it's knickers? Though I'll replace my GZ with an M3 I wouldn't have one as a track car, everything can and will break and they are hideously expensive to fix. My brother has just bought his second after flogging his moneypit of a 3.2 evo. Admittedly this new one is a peach but it was big money for an E36 and still needs money spent on it.

JamieP Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks. Yea i think a 6speed RZ would be decent stripped but i fancy doing something a bit different, saying that after speaking with RXV8 about the costs of building his V8 supra and with him saying he would never do it again im having second thoughts now:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Get an unloved MR2T rev1 in an unpopular colour, strip it, have Knight Racer do a cheap blow-over so you can stomach looking at it, get some 17inch KEI D1's, big brakes, a GT3071R turbo with internal wastegate, aussie mani, LINK ecu, GReddy intercooler, perhaps some internals and cams, hand it to Ryan to map and BOSH you've got a 450bhp 1100kg pocket rocket. Plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Im back on with getting a track car now, i have 2 E36 M3's set up to see saturday and the plan is to build something like this but not in yellow;) http://www.pistonheads.com/xforums/topic.asp?h=0&t=594265&nmt=M3%20Track%20Car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nice one, would be great fun on track. While at Brands on tues I went out in a stock old style scooby, the grip was insane from a stock motor on normal road tires, could have done with a better IC though as two hard laps and it was getting damn hot. For cheap thrills on track is was so funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
