Cutting up my E30 BMW M3 for more lows!

My E30 BMW M3 Track Car gets a load of suspension and bodywork to make it even lower than it was before. I designed the chassis around this ride height, so it's not just a case of slamming it.

Hopefully one day I can ask for a passenger lap & be sent down Craners at 8000 rpm.

That has to be my favorite car that you have. Yes, the Murcie is Amazing too, but I think the E30 M3 is my favorite car of all time. The suspension redesigns (many) is just Insane ! There is a very easy way to raise the hood on old BMWs with the backwards opening hood. Just use washers under the bolts that the rear rollers that tuck it down. I had to do that on my E34 to clear the wiper arms that always tend to hit the hood because clearance is so tight. Yes, it's too low but since Racecar ,OK.

Do you test the wheel clearance at full bump with any steering angle applied? You're clearly super knowledgeable on suspension setup and would love to watch an episode on you explaining how and why you set things up the way you do.

@driftworks Жыл бұрын

I factor it in, but the reality is that you have to be going very fast to compress the spring to the dampers bumpstop, so you will only ever have very minimal steering angle.

@pinderwagen Жыл бұрын

@@driftworksthat was my first thought too. I guess so long as you don't take it to Spa or the Ring you'll be OK? I need a fair bit of lock (compared to a UK circuit) under compression through Eau Rouge and the Foxhole. Forget the Karussel 😁

@@pinderwagen It should be okay once the shape is finalised. Also the final piece will be thin carbon fibre, so will have a bit of flex if there is a bit of contact in extreme circumstances. I'm off to the Ring in it in June, so the work I'm doing is with Foxhole in mind .

Amazing work to get those clearances bang on and you've done an amazing job being sympathetic to the lines of the car, just looks more beastly than ever! If they work out in practice would you consider taking moulds of them to have them remade in carbon or fibreglass? Partly because I wonder how all the various layers are going to stand up to cracking in the long term...
