I had a browse whilst on the ferry heading back, and found a silver E36 saloon for sale not to far from home. I thought it was worth a look, to see how solid it was underneath, as it was just a 323i SE at the end of the day. It turned out to be one of the most solid E36 I had ever seen...

After a few hours lapping, I got used to the new suspension and spring set up, the car felt the best it ever has. Mid way through the afternoon on the first day I had a low oil pressure warning flash up on the dashboard, so I cut the engine and coasted back in to the pits. Upon investigation...

I've not had much time to keep this up to date in the past 12-18 months, with work, racing and building other things. With 2018 nearly over I thought I would fill this in, and hopefully continue to update as the next chaper unfolds. I will probably end up missing some details with so much...

-3.75 Camber, tiny amount of toe out total, probably a couple of minutes maximum. -2 Camber rear, tiny amount of toe in. Yes, I was previously using an M52 trigger wheel, and it lined up. Yes, you would have an issue if you used standard management, but with standalone you can set up the...

Reliability is the key too...! In 9 races this year only managed 5 signatures due to mechanical issues, and a cancelled round. Luckily only need the one now for Spa in 2019. Good luck with it, you've built the car well. What fuse/relay board are you using in the 205? I've been through a number...

E36 that makes some noise... which is currently being built into a new FIA spec shell.. Honda Civic racing in 750MC this year...

Honda Civic in the 750MC

Made a couple of changes to the spring an front hub setup, to correct the roll centre of the car. Then headed back to Spa last week. It drove significantly better as the track dried in the afternoon. One of the cleaner laps...

All depends on how far you want to go and the budget? I spent a few hours messing in Photoshop, different ideas and things. The car was red, so kept the most complex parts that colour (bumpers, sideskirts, etc). Then took it to a local company we've known for years and a few days later it was...

From what I remember, the fuel level was straight to the clocks rather than via CAN. Its just a simple variable resistor, which is linear. First find which wire it is (test resistance with multi meter and move the float up and down). Wire it up in a simple voltage divider circuit, with a 1k...

So quite a bit has changed since the last update (and Photobucket changes)... I used it a lot in 2017. Built and fitted a Kaaz LSD with a 3.64, all good. Removed the servo and went to twin master cylinders for braking, much better. Had a few really good days out in it at Cadwell in July...

For an 'easy' all in one solution, id be looking for a second hand DL1 or similar, from what I remember the Emeralds output data over a serial line which they can log to memory card. Other than that, its something custom probably to read that serial data the ECU outputs

Standard ECU? Standalone? What data do you want to log? I use a Dash2Pro...

Achieved a tad over 30mpg too 😂

I'm still around :up:

Snetterton went well, clear weather bar a light shower towards the end of the day. Unfortunately it highlighted a few issues with the brakes which I have been dealing with since last summer - still not happy with them so changes are planned in that respect also. Couple of the more...

So the paddle clutch went in, then headed up to Croft. Having never been before, I was surprised how good the circuit actually was, would definitely go back. Not actually got round to sorting a proper video yet but here is a bit of a clip.. I was running close to the noise meters at Croft...

Snetterton last year highlighted too much body roll after moving to 17s, so that needed resolving. Bit of an external video from there first though: Between then and Christmas I changed the springs to 10kg all round (from 7kg F/8kg R). This meant readjusting all the coilovers to suit. I...

Both wings are off at the moment as they are being replaced... other changes include matching silver bumpers (rather than black) and silver skirts etc.

So the original TPS on the Jenveys started to play up at the end of last year. Swapped to a different type, made a few other changes and got it back on the dyno to re-set everything up. Il do a proper update some time, as there have been a few other changes... but heres some noise:

Yes and power was still rising @ 7200rpm+. 2.5" was plenty.

Nope, I modified the manifold and ran the crank case breather/vent system. If you go back a while in this thread you will find details on it. The catch can just kept filling up every so often otherwise (venting to atmosphere)

...the normal quick laps make boring viewing :smile:

Its been a fun year.

Managed to source two sets of 17x9 Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2s. One set ET23, one set ET40. With my setup this is perfect as I can mix the two sets, running ET23 on the front to clear the brakes/suspension without having to use a spacer... and ET40 on the back so I don't need to pull the wheel...

@Jamie86 Couldn't make that date, so we're on the weekend before, Saturday 3rd. Few of us there DC2/Clio200s/etc

@JB21 it was... see above :) (Can't post in that other thread!)

Was at Oulton on Wednesday... more of the same! Snetterton in a few weeks. Moving to 17x9 and wide full wets from now on for the damp days, more updates on that soon!
