Yes, I need more power (or less weight!) to run the straights with all the Porsche GT2s and 3s, McLarens and Ferraris that were there (Hell, even my brothers e46 M3 with supercharger, which I also drove), but I'm not disappointed.
I was able to hammer on the brakes lap after lap; no fade, no overheat, full control.
I DID experience the dreaded e36 fuel starvation issue in Turn 17. The first time, it happened when I got to just over 1/4 tank, but as I got more brave with the car and pushed harder, it would happen as early as 1/2 tank. Anyway, new problem to solve.
Two others that drove my car loved it, too. Gotta love budget speed! |
Great to hear! Its funny how many people worry about the e30 rear end and think its outdated but it seems a good set of coilovers/brakes and tires = a lot of fun still, and not too slow either.
If you have experienced fuel starvation have you thought about oil starvation? Seems like its a problem from what I understand, people use s54 oil pump/dual pickup to remedy the issue. It might be worth looking into.
