    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    Progress to finish off the last few jobs... Waiting for it to stop raining between storms has meant for slow progress but slow progress is better than no progress. Got the splitter mounted up to the chassis mounts and bolted to the subframe. Little bit bigger than the previous version...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    5 Year since my first post on here when I started this build thread. It's been very quiet over christmas with slow progress. Motivation to work on the car hasn't been very high so I've only been chipping away at jobs slowly. Also trying to decide what to do with the car from here. Probably...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    Little additions to the car continue. If you've followed the build thread this far you probably know i'm a sucker for 3D Printing. Due to the change of fuel rail to be more flexible with injectors and have a valve on the end of the rail for checking FP I needed a way to bolt down the rail...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    Slightly late update after Oulton Pack at the beginning of November. I've been waiting for a little bit more content to post in an update. I've been productive this weekend so thought I should write an update about Oulton and what I've been doing since. So as usual I set off about 6am to...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    Arrived at EFI tuning around 12:00 The plan for the day was to first of all run the car on the Dyno and just see what it ran like with all the changes and get a feel for the new manifold. I have spent a lot of time adjusting the maps on the MS43 ECU to run the car without the idle control...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    I have also replaced the fuel set up and the plumbing for the swirl pot under the car but didn't take any photos of this now. I'm now running an E36 fuel filter with the M50 rail with built in regulator which then returns directly to the swirl pot in the engine bay. Finally was the last job to...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    While i was at it I've also designed the plate that will adapt the standard electric throttle body onto the m50 manifold. Both of these can be 3D printed as a final test before being sent for CNC machining. Last job I was on with this afternoon between showers was the test fitting of...

    Best top mounts to get?

    Just a little update. Last week I got around to make a one of top cap for the KW Later Clio 200 mounts. Once these have been checked and mounted up I will have some more of these made to work with the later 200 mounts and KW's. Any of the KW Compbrake top mounts are only available through...

    Best top mounts to get?

    For the mount to fit into the purple top cap it should be a 91mm diameter spring black top cap if it’s for the early top mounts with kw’s. Any questions bounce me an email.

    Best top mounts to get?

    Compbrake mounts purchased through me do work with the kw’s. However out of the box the standard set up doesn’t mount to the KW purple top cap which holds the spring. I have done custom set ups for 197/KW v3’s and will have some Photos of a later 200/KW v3’s later next week. I will get photos...

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    2.05/2.06 in the dry with a passenger, The car has much more time in it, just confidence in the corners, still adjusting to how the car drives and don’t want to push my luck with it too soon. Will be back to Oulton in it next year to see what it can do with more seat time.

    Matt's 200

    Now you’ve done it it’s probably quicker and easier to remove the bumper and head light so you can actually see what you’re doing and do it properly. Nightmare to do!

    197 Cup F4RT track car

    Great updates mate. Much prefer the wrap around seats. Wish I had a set for mine to be honest now as it doesn’t get driven on the road! Much more support around the shoulders too.
