Nice sized turbo he's got on that little thing 8) Wish they weren't in the snow so they could have done some real power shots though 
Thanks caneswell.

Yeah that would 've been much more exciting in the dry, although the wheelspin when it comes on boost is pretty funny in those conditions! Still, I wouldn't want to fully unleash that thing fully in the wet.
Car looks ace, although the rear camber seems to be a bit extreme...

i'm sure he stiffened the hell out of the chassis, so now all the lateral loads get put to the tires. Pulling the camber negative will allow them to stand up in the corners and track with their full width when the body tries to roll out. he probably came to that camber setting just by feel during test laps.

Yeah they raced together in DTM between about '87 and '92. The E30 m3s are the most succesfull touring car of all time. They weren't turbo charged though like this car. They had ~350bhp at 11k rpm.

of all times, why take the car out and drive like that in those conditions? the car is pretty sweet tho. that looks like it still has the original E30 M3 block? pretty damn quick for a 4 cylinder, tho it looks like it has some hardcore turbo peak

Don't get hung up on the number of cylinders!
The BMW tubo F1 cars were four cylinders. Using the m10 block from the 318i, after it had done 100k miles to stress relieve it!
They made ~1500 bhp from 1.5 litres, so pretty damn quick for a four cylinder!

yes, but that's an F1 car. I don't see any road cars producing 750bhp/litre.
I'm just saying I'm impressed they got that much power out of a 4 cylinder roadcar engine from a car that ended production in 1991
