I'd be interested to know if there is one aswell. I used K-tec to fit my cage in the end, but it is as close to go to BTM who I would recommend. Welcome to the forum by the way, whereabouts in Reading are you? There are a few of us about, come along to the meet at the Longbridge Mill to say...
Not wishing to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm currently looking for a replacement for my Samsung, as mine has suffered the dreaded 'capacitor plague' - google it.
Newer models like yours are ok iirc, but it's more their behaviour / diabolical customer service and outright refusal to repair...
Re: E36 v2
Epic. The coolest thread on here all week!
Be following this. Love the detail of the photos, showing the stages you've gone through i.e. highlighting the manifold differences in size and the use of the engine bay as a table for your McDonalds is inspired :)
As said above, strip as much of the weight as possible if it is for track only. Cheapest and best way to gain speed. And if it hasn't already put the 98 Ron RS Tuner map on it.
A decent set of brakes and tyres with 15" lightweight alloys next, with a whiteline RARB.
Next - suspension, decent...
Yep, the things above are worth varying amounts.
2 x Upper Inlet Manifold (1 with another coil pack on it)
1 x lower inlet manifold.
Assuming one of the uppers isn't matched to the lower; £30ish each for the uppers, not sure on the lower. Best to search on the for sale section here, see what...

3 x Throttle Bodies
2 x coil pack
1 x dogbone mount
2 x fuel rail (with 7 injectors between them)
1 x dephaser pulley but unsure?
Also unsure of price, but someone will be along with better knowledge shortly I...
You pay to race. You race.
It is all well and good everyone doing the old 'post mortem', but racing can involve contact. Luckily it is irregular, but its a risk you take. One of the reasons I can't afford to race this year is I can't afford to keep replacing bits and bobs. And i'm not...
I'd probably have felt as threatened as be did. Report says they were damaging his car before he drove off first time.
Should have specced it with bullet proof glass, then helmet boy at the end would have got a nasty surprise when it bounced back straight into his face.
Had an interesting 3rd gear play with this on the way home yesterday. Plucky flamer did well given how poorly it is. Yes, the AA man told me to go easy Sam, but I ignored it :)
I love the new ride height / stance on this, looked epic following it back. A credit to you 'Othy.
