316ti Race Car, M Compact Spec

[Jamez]

Figured since I used this forum a couple of times whilst building my compact I should introduce myself.

I have a 316ti that I have built up to M Compact Spec and then turned into a race car.

Started as this


Went like this around a track with the 316ti motor and auto


Then looked like this with the S50B32 installed



and went like this:


Then looked like this with cage and race seat/harness


Built in lap timing on the steering wheel



Then went like this with the cage and race seat installed



Now looks like this after its first race weekend



General Specs are:

E36 Comapct Body with Msport Kit and Reiger GT front lip.
100% OEM E36 M3 Brakes, Fuelling, Clutch, Intake, ECU, Motor and Gearbox.
3" Exhaust
Alloy Flywheel
Coilover suspension with non adjustable bilstein shocks.
3.91 LSD
Z3M S54 Water Radiator (85c-95c depending on weather)
E36 325tds Oil cooler (110-120c depending on weather)
17" Michelin Slicks
E36 Motorsport Swaybars
Bimmerworld Oil valve (Dropped temps by 20c)

Weight 1240kg (Full tank) + driver

Next steps are to reduce weight and increase HP to drop the lap times down.
