E36 Track Day #3 - Laguna Seca - New PB 1:46.85 - Nov 27th, 2023 w/ Turn8 Racing
Laguna Seca in the E36!
New PB of 1:46.85
November 27th, 2023 with Turn8 Racing
90 dB
Amazing day all around! As always, Turn8 Racing put on a great event with a lot of track time at a very reasonable price. I won a discount and scored a $99 registration fee for this day - can't beat that. Perfect weather all day and managed to squeeze out my best time on the very last lap of the day. Very happy with the car and the opportunity to drive this iconic track again.
The open pit session (50 minute session) is where I really started to feel comfortable with the track and gained my biggest improvements of the day.

Buttonwillow CW13 November 24th, 2023 New PB - 2:03.96 Track day in my new(ish) to me E36! This is only my second track day with this car since buying it almost a year ago. I just completed a huge round of work on the car and this was a bit of a shakedown day. Built a full 6-point roll cage, installed Bimarco seat and 6-point harness, built new 3" exhaust, fully gutted the interior and made a l...
E30 Track Day Progression at Buttonwillow Raceway over 1.5 years
Переглядів 1102 роки тому
After getting quite a few track days in my E30 at Buttonwillow under my belt, I thought it'd be cool to see a side-by-side comparison of some of my fastest laps over the past year and a half. From a high 2:18 to a mid 2:07, the progress has been incremental and I'm finding it more and more of a challenge to keep improving my time at this point. I'm always open to pointers! This car was built wi...

Track day at Buttonwillow Raceway Park (CW13 configuration) on Nov 25th, 2022. This is my 7th track day at BRP and 8th overall in my E30. New PB of 2:07.41 (from 2:08.85) It was a perfect day out there. Morning sessions were a little cold but it quickly warmed up to low 70's for the rest of the day. Pretty packed day, run groups were a little crowded but not too bad. No changes to the car since...

Track day at Buttonwillow Raceway Park (CW13 configuration) on Sept 9th, 2022. This is my 6th track day at BRP and 7th overall in my E30. New PB of 2:08.85 (from 2:09.31) It was a hot day out there with air temps reaching 100 , the track was very hot for most of the day so grip felt a bit greasy. Still fun and a great learning experience! This time around I am running an M50B25 engine from an E...

I am very much still learning. Changes from previous track day: Fresh 225/45R15 Hankook Ventus RS4 on 15x8 TRM C1 wheels (from 195/60R14 Falken Azenis RT660 on stock 14x6.5 Basketweave wheels).

E30 Track Day #4 - Buttonwillow CW13 - New PB 2:11.92 - Oct 1st, 2021
Переглядів 1463 роки тому
Track day at Buttonwillow on Oct 1st, 2021 in my E30. New PB of 2:11.92 (From 2:13.71). Changes from previous track day: adjusted front camber, from -2 degrees to -3 degrees (camber plates maxed out) and tried out a new chassis mounted short shifter. The new shifter ended up locking me out of downshifting from 3rd to 2nd coming into "Off Ramp" which definitely slowed me down. I think this was a...

For those wondering what the cheap (~$130) Vibrant 1148 muffler sounds like on an E30 with stock M20B25 and stock exhaust manifolds, downpipe and catalytic converter. Modified a universal Y-pipe to run from the stock 1.75" dual tubes to the 2.5" muffler inlet. I'm actually really happy with the sound! Exactly what I was going for. I did a track day with this setup right after installing it and ...

      It sure is! Can't wait to swap in a 24v motor this year and get back out there. Yes, I have both a baffle and a scraper installed actually. Seemed like the right thing to do and wasn't too much extra work since I already had the engine out on a stand at the time.

    How does the ground control coilovers drive? Have you needed to replace them or are you still running the same coils and setup you put in 9 years ago?

      This is a different E30 than the one in my video from years ago. This one is running the GC "complete" coilover kit from their site, with the red Koni SA shocks and their camber plates. I shortened the strut housings 1". Has been under a year since installation but everything feels fantastic, I am very happy with them.

    Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the German Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any more.
