This thread delivers! Looks like an awesome build, can't wait to see the next update

Where the hell did you get that airbox. I've seen them before but didn't know they could be "ordered".

[erdinc]

It was a Special Order from carbon-göcke in Germany.

Price: $3875,-

Build time was 8 Weeks.

Wow I like what I see so far, Thanks for sharing be sure to keep us updated

Cool, any reason you chose the Bilstein Grp N's? There are a lot of better dampers available in your market than these.

Also, with that intake, what radiator are you planning to use?

Lastly, to run at the Touring car rideheight, are you running the "gtr" style front control arms and bump steer correction? That ride height will not work on factory components...those Touring cars from the mid 90's ran some pretty slick suspension setups.

[erdinc]

The Bilstein Group N works fine on Nürburgring. I have 2 Friends with the same and they works perfect. If i have problems with them i want to order KW-Competition or Intrax. These are the best Dampers for Race Cars here in Germany.

I run a Special Radiator that is shorter in the height and must install this diagonal under the Airbox.

Yes i have ordered GTR Control arms. I must wait 6 Weeks!

I hope you understand my english!

[Steve J.]

English is good, don't worry

Skip Intrax/KW, go with Sachs or Ohlins...if you are getting GTR control arms go grab an E46 GTR Knuckle and you can find some WTCC Ohlins in Germany and/or some other euro countries nearby. Jrz/Moton are also good options for the E36 if you move to an E46 M3 knuckle.

Check Racecarsdirect.com some good stuff from teams in europe.

lightweight wtcc 5spd dog box

[erdinc]

Yes i know this site.

But a dog box is too much.

My car is not a real race car it is a street legal race car. I can`t install all want i want but 80%-90% race parts.

I must show in the next time what i do with the dampers.
I want also McPherson Dampers on the rear.

I ordered this Arms:

I guess in Germany you can have a race car on the street....that would not fly over here

[=BA=]

You need TUV approval in Germany right? Does that not rule out many of the racing dampers, since they are not supplied with TUV certificates?

Also the Gr.N dampers/springs, are they not too harsh for the Nurburgring? Many switch to dampers with a longer stroke and softer springs when driving there. Ie Intrax supplies multiple types of dampers on their more expensive kits, you can have one road spec, a spec for the Nurburgring and also the shorter race spec dampers. Since slicks are not allowed on normal TF days, a lot of people tend to go a tad softer when they are running a tire like R888 etc.

[erdinc]

Hmm, the German TÜV is not the best friend of race cars but you can tell everthing you want to change and they can help you.

We have many rules for everthing that nobody understand but we have them.

I have Sport Cup tires. I send my dampers to H&R and them change the setup complete for Nürburgring. My car is only for TF days and i must have TÜV.

My TÜV-Man was from Nürburgring and he tell me what i can install on this car and what not. All the stuff that works on the track is more safety then stock stuff.

Dampers are no problem with TÜV.

wow looks great. glad you are going with a proper cage setup! alot safer and stiffer!

Sure it would; my car only needs a catalytic converter to pass inspection. Now, it's true that there are more than a few jurisdictions in which it wouldn't be smart to drive it.

Yeah, it's the same over here; we try to ignore them as much as possible. Erdinc, where did you get the hood for your car?

We had a factory ferrari Challenge car (348Ch) on the street, and there are some 355ch's around that are street legal (95's) but they are not pleasant and it makes maintenance intervals a headache as it abuses the car pretty good

We did have our 355ch with dealer plates on the street with the new Ohlins I put on recently...only drove 4 miles to a car meet, but it was fun
