My target time is 2m40.First real whack at the track, and did only 2m53. Major chassis improvements required to the rickety, flexing shell. And some proper Toyo R888s would be right.Anyone have any cheap and cheerful recommendations to reduce the laptime, please do share! For example a dogleg 5-speed would do the trick, but...

Iceman: yes am friends with Zoggee and Fabian. Who's engine do you think is sitting in my E30? 
yat: I say, that's as good as it gets with the current E30. Understeer? None la, it's all oversteer with my car, it's set up to be tail-happy. I raced S1K in the Swift last year and also did 2m44, you can find the video somewhere on my Youtube. My target time for my E30 is 2m40, current tyres Falken Ziex where got grip la hahaha..

Great driving :top: ... You're definitely faster in the corners compared to the dc5. Wider tires at the back should yield faster time don't you think? Also you're running 4.1 what is the normal final drive for the e30? What is the rev limit on the engine?
Sorry for the questions as i'm still a track virgin :embarassed:

Adian....thanks for sharing. Good lines although car kinda of too tail happy for me esp when it happens at turn entry phase!
2:40? you need more power and better tyres! Btw, u have LSD? Think you have otherwise T9 exit would be an issue.....
Good to see E30 still have plenty poke.
Btw, i also impressed we have many resident racers in the club!

I managed to clock best time of ~3 minutes in my E30 318is last year... Not so an aggressive driver like Adian lah..

I think can definitely trim off a couple of seconds without passenger and backseat... hahaha... Then maybe a higher final drive ratio to improve the acceleration..
