Farah has tried time and time again to make a car channel that makes it big, they do interesting cars, its all there, but HE is impossible to like, no manners, crude, arrogant, fat, all things people don't want to watch, quite the opposite of Chris, the standard well mannered and humble Englishman (if its all an act, well, he does a good job acting then)

We believe you Chris. The onboard footage shows you continually adding more steering lock to the left and the car still going right. Tuff luck, but you handled it like a man.

@oliverburke 8 жыл бұрын

Yes, he's turning left, but the car wants right. There didn't seem to be any huge thing to cause it, though. No huge jarring pothole or anything that I noticed.

@rasafrasit 8 жыл бұрын

You can clearly see the steering wheel shudder as the wheel loses its control arm. It seems, therefore, like a stress failure rather than some discrete impact

It’s rally, you will break stuff sooner or later, no matter if you drive a Ford Fiesta in stock class or a built M3 in Group N. Only difference is price of parts. At least there wasn’t any trees next to the road like in other rallies.

You can do rally on the cheap as well. But you would have to take a direct interest in the cars your self and be constantly working on them.

After reading the titel of the video and seeing the suspension at 1:56 my guess was that there might be an issue with that control arm. Some tube suspension designs are available on the market for the e30M3 some better some very bad but overall I would say more suited for on track racing.

@johnrobertgordon 9 жыл бұрын

iliovecaRS If you think about it, Honda produce a 2.0L, 240BHP engine for their road cars, this has a fairly decent service interval. Proper highly strung rally engines will need a rebuild or at least a refresh every two or three rallies. If you want mind bending statistics...Think about how in the same era... BMW were getting almost 1600 BHP out of a 1.5 engine in F1.

I know what you mean. I`m also a big E30 M3 fan, but the example that Chris bought wasn`t worth restoring to original spec. It was in pretty bad condition and already had a rool cage welded in. Converting to a rally car was a good option in my opinion. I wish Chris good luck and enjoy his rally adventure with it.

@SmallBlogV8 9 жыл бұрын

Let's not forget that the 'M' means 'Motorsport' and that rallying is just that. Yes, it takes one of the road cars off the road - well, sort of, rally cars are still street-legal of course - but it means that tired old E30 gets to live a second life as something to be enjoyed by an enthusiast. Besides, BMW rallied M3s back in the day, like he said.
