Suspension…

One of the first choices we made was the suspension. We not only took the quality of the product into account in our elimination, but also the availability of support and the distance to the manufacturer.
At first we looked at Reiger but due to the high price that was not feasible with our budget.
Only Proflex and Intrax remained. Both have a large number of satisfied users spread across different disciplines. Intrax is in any case the most chosen on track while Proflex has long earned its spurs in the rally event. Nevertheless, Henk was able to convince us to be a guinea pig with us.
So it has become the Intrax 4 road system with black titan coating.

Brake…

The choice of the brand was quite easy for us. We chose AP fairly quickly because of the quality of their products and the good service of Guus in NL
The selection of the type of claws and the size of the discs took a little more time.
Fortunately, we could again count on the drawing abilities of Nick who expertly put various rims, discs, bells and suspension parts in Pro Engineer to bring them together in 3 D and see what can and cannot be done.

The switching dilemma …

The gear lever seems like a fairly simple part in itself but it has kept us busy for hours.

From the beginning we were not super enthusiastic to put our – nice looking and far too expensive – Sadev shifter next to the vertical handbrake on the tunnel. Not that you will easily miss, but it is emotionally out of place there.

How to dismantle a…

Probably the easiest and fastest job from the entire project.

After one weekend of hobbying the M3 was just a bare shell with too much airconducts…

Fortunately Frank had taken about 300 pictures while we were searching so we did not encounter very big surprises. We knew that the car was not new anymore and the killer named “rust” has made some holes on the usual E30 spots.

We were happy not to find any leftovers from a previous unmentioned crash..

How it started !

Dirk and Luc were planning to pick up rallying again since quite a while. Dirk wanted to say karting goodbye because father and trainingpartner Denis had some health issues. The karts were sold and a new adventure was born…

Dirk and Luc were argueing about he make and model of the car before finding a compromise but the mean idea to start a rally team both agreed on.
