With some hacking up yeah, I gave up trying to fit the dash back in and ended up just fitting the top dash, which sat nicely on the bulkhead bar when screwed in at the windscreen. I then fastened it down to the bulkhead bar at either end and it was spot on for 2 years. I ran 172 Ph1 clocks...

Mk2 dash can be made to fit and has been done a few times before yeah.

*Decoded ECU from a Mk1 Conversion

Im not at CSS, but I shall PM you now with a couple of questions!

Im getting 8 x 17s and selling the 18s more than likely :) 4 x 17s with the Falkens on 4 x 17s with 'road' tyres on for when its wet, although I'm told the Falkens are not that bad in the wet anyway!

Trailering really comes into its element when you end up breaking it at a track day and can easily get it home. Ive had so many problems over the years with breakdowns (Clio) at track days and mega hassle getting them home - trailering is so much easier. Also means there are no limits as to...

Great video - the last minute or two are the best!

Joined in a lot of other places to that unfortunately, wires cut all round the MTU/UCH and in other places along the loom... whoever fitted it bodged it good and proper!

Correct size socket acquired and torqued the front hub torqued up to spec, it was at least half a turn down on what it should have been! New radiator cap purchased from BMW for £12. I did go raiding the scrap yards for a couple but then decided for the sake of how much they were I may aswell...

Its a f*cking mess, messed around with it for another few hours this afternoon and no joy. Need a different interior loom to try next

The joys of people messing around with cars, and the headaches they leave behind. Absolute joke of a setup!

LOL. Will have to wait and see then, its only on 116k!

Yeah, I have a contact for part worn R888/Pilot Sport Cups/A048/Slicks in 17s so it makes sense. Probably end up with some M3 Sunflowers or some more of the 'standard' BBS splits at some point in the near future, these 5series 18s seem to shift well on eBay so shouldn't be too much hassle...

All I've removed is interior and the air-con setup so far really, im not so much chasing weight this time like on the Clio as there are far less parts to replace with lighter versions! Will have to see how it goes!

After swapping a couple of tyres round with my other BMW, I ended up with Michelin Pilot Sport 3's all round on the E36. 245 on the back, and 225 on the front. I filled the car up with fuel and set off for Oulton Park.. Went out to do the sighting laps and everything felt fine...

Interesting, I can't wait to bin off this Scorpion 'DTM' backbox, it was 100db on a noise test with the cats and center silencers still in. The whole exhaust is a complete bodge by the previous owner to be honest, its got a standard front section with cats/silencers, then a Scorpion rear section...

Most of you knew my Mk1 Clio which was used for track days over 3 years, then the E30 with the SR20DET fitted. After beginning to re-shell the E30 I lost all interest in the project, and decided it was going to take too long to get working properly, not to mention iron out all the niggles. One...

Its called a multi-timer unit on a Ph1, different thing.

Possibly, I live close to there and I bought it in 2006... so might be correct!

Good write up/pics, must have passed on numerous occasions. Indeed it was a BMW, which now has a f*cked turbo thanks to said caravan.

Ahhhh the good ole days of low Mk2s - February 2008 :(

Nice pics
