I had someone in the passenger seat doing split times with my phone on the first session. getting the last session would have been handy to compare with though

Car: 1995 E31 840Ci 4.0 Auto Mods: Alpina 18" Alloys Power: Sufficient Handling: Much better than expected. Corners very flat, loads of grip and controllable on the limit. Didn't use ASC at all. Neutral handling. Brakes: Execllent, couldn't believe they didn't fade, ABS didn't cut in much at all. Tyres: F 245/45 18 46psi, R 285/35 18 46psi. Fronts were already worn 50%+, Rears are very new. Can't see much extra wear, just some beading which should disappear over next 100 miles. Speed/MPG: Have 8 laps timed from video, 5 @ 1-13, 2 @ 1-12, 1 @ 1-11. 6.8 mpg average for the day. Overall: Really didn't know what to expect from the car on the track but delighted with it. Already mentioned the problems with power steering - added an extra bit of excitement not knowing whether it was going to work or not each time you turned into a corner. It's working perfectly again on the road. I don't know if I'd take the car out too often on the track but at least now I know what it can do. I'd definitely be nervous in the rain! Edited by GR-8 |

On the 2 sessions where someone timed me using my phone. Amazing things these new fangled mobile phones! I was typically low 1:16s with one lap of 1:15.40 As I said before I need shocks and a LSD. The number of times I had to lift off to get the inside rear to grip, was frustrating. |

1:17s are still great times for a 316i! Fair play

@TJ - thanks! ... but I'm afraid ludo bet you in the ego inflation contest; I was chatting to him afterwards, mentioning that the e36 318IS was pulling a stormer. He goes "yea and there was a silver 316 out there that was going really great too" or something a bit more french. Anyhows he didnt cop it was ME!!! I was well chuffed.
All high praise coming from you big boys. |

And that silver E36 318is was playing a stormer alright. Getting some nice roll-induced slides out of it, good lines & really quick out of the bends. A pleasure to be behind. Edited by T.J. |

not harsh paul, just my bit of advice, Im no race driver but the laws of physics dont change, you lost so much braking so hard and being a 316 couldnt power it out hence the lack of rear end slide, personally i enjoyed the ride think you showed a few big power boys up
