E36 Track Car

[GregorJP]

Reluctantly, I am selling the E36 track car that I've had so much fun with over the last year or so. After buying the car built, we've spent some time and money ironing out a few niggles so that it runs nicely, but now want to move it on quickly as we are looking to go racing this year, so we've priced it competitively. Details are set out below. Thanks for looking.

Will post these tonight. Currently track only, but Raw tell me that making her road legal shouldn't be a huge undertaking.

if its got heater still, lights, seatbelt fixing points then you should be ok to get road legal for the MOT.

More pics as requested, and thanks Das Chin for the tips about the MOT. It definitely has lights, heater and I think it still has the seatbelt mounting points. I really wouldn't recommend it for a road trip, though, without significantly softening the suspension.

The other thing I forgot to mention is that we got rid of that horrific steering wheel, so she now comes with a nice, alcantara dished Momo effort which is bigger. We also ditched the E36 steering rack and fitted an E46 rack. These two things made a huge difference to the steering.

late 20s all day derek. especially for my old girl in sapphire Black ;-) if Johnson is charging what he is for that stock then yours is of a far superior prep I am sure.

gregor have you got the glass screen at the front still? not polycarb? wont pass MOT w/o glass screen.

have you done the rear window as well in polycarb? that should be fine as rear heated screen is an option in many cars that old. remove the rear screen button if left in!

for the MOT I would even bolt the old belt holder into the B Pillar with the belt and then attach the old belt mounting points. you should be able to do that to the runners. that is what we used to do as its only a few bolts so not much weight!!

if its a pre CAT car then you won't have to worry about emissions too as the early 316 shells would be the case. M3s came later and I think they all had CATs. not sure what the chassis number will show up in terms of build year but tell the DVLA its an early K plate or sth.

I had a four door e36 m3 with full cage, carbon bonnet, boot, Geoff steel bits etc in a higher state of tune and track prep and that got through ok. mind you the MOT was done by a friendly stevie wonder via google earth ;-)
