Strange timing.

Guess what car I've been playing with today.

Maclaren Built 320STW, lovely car, only a few in this country so I may know that one !

Close, is an ex alms PTG e46 that also had the maclaren suspension. One side wasn't assembled so got to see it all apart, it is very, very trick isn't it!

Very similar to the old STW setup, McLaren 320stw cars are a bit confusing to work on specially the rocker arm rear suspension hence teams preferring the Schnitzer setup

Didn't look at rear end underneath, will take a look next time I'm with the car.

Hi,

Looks like a De-vansoed S62 Engine ?

BMW took all the P60 B40 engines home
with them very hard if not impossible
for a Privateer to obtain, and then
your totally screwed for spares.

There is a genuine 320 ST for sale at the
moment, which is still to full works specs,
as some were robbed of the Rear
set up for privateers to use on E46 GTR's.

Its very hard to set it up correctly, but once
you hit the sweet spot its something else.

Regards,

The Gorilla

Your spot one there Danny, once set up there is nothing else like it

, that is a cheap car, I have put a guy onto this one already,

_Nathan_ · 24-10-2013, 11:28 PM

Correct Danny, it is indeed an S62.

Hi,

Yes, its amazing how that 320 ST has not been
snapped up given what some things have
changed hands for in that Market
at present.

Bit of Topic but from the days when
money did not matter in Touring Cars.

The Opel is surreal with its XTRac 4x4 system which was
only origially Leased to Opel, and its 2.5 v6 Cosworth KF
engine is just something else.

Its always strange seeing the Alfa engine so far forward,
but they had a rear Transaxle Gearbox etc to restore the
Weight ratio back to around 48/52 split.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Love all that stuff, even UK supertourers are cool.

Mondeos with the 2L v6 - engine is so low that one of the drive shafts passes through the middle of the V on the way to the wheel, details like wiper motors on the floor with hollow carbon rods connecting to the wipers to lower COG, the attention to detail was amazing.
