It's a great pleasure to stumble upon this website of enthusiasts for the E30 M3 and the S14 engine. After a lifetime being involved with other types of cars in rallying, it's my mission to build a full house tarmac spec E30 M3 or E36 hatchback with S14 power within the next few years. Hopefully the progress of which will be documented here....
Hi there, I feel so rude that you have not received a response. Please forgive the tardy reply... Welcome !! :m:
Thanks for the warm welcome gentlemen ! I've been a fan of the E30 M3 and the S14 engine for as long as I can remember, and after messing around with more types of competition cars than I care to remember, I've decided that my last will be a full house tarmac version of one of the aforementioned shells. I'm on a very loose timeline with the project though - gotta get all the necessary finances sorted 1st - of which I believe there will be a copious amount required.... Basically I'm looking to build a 2.5 Litre drysumped, bigvalve, motec managed, big cams tarmac engine, attach it to a 6-speed sequential and run it in an unbreakable chassis that weighs no more than 2500lbs ready to run to suit the Open Modified regulations of our club - The Barbados Rally Club - www.rallyclub.com If you're interested in seeing the last couple cars I've been involved in building / running / driving, have a look at www.fluke-motorsport.co.uk and go to the videos section from 2002 onward. Mine is the yellow one Regards, Martin Atwell.
Hi & welcome!!! Look forward to seeing the progress on your latest project over the coming months Laurence.
i forgot to say i am from barbados as well , and flyingbajan and i will be building our cars together (i hope)
Hey LOGIC ! You mean to say that YOU'LL be building our cars together... I hope LOL... Just kidding, but it would be good to build them side by side - save on shipping, ease of sourcing bits, etc.etc....
i got no prob building them both! atleast we would know everything on them and no guess work like if u bought a ready prepped car
Nice! I got married in Barbados. Dinner at The Cliff restaurant is a must if you ever visit. Bring your surfboard also, BathSheba (sp?) was a hoot. Nice drives out there on that side of the island also. T
Yep, The Cliff is truly world class indeed, and Soup Bowl at Bathsheba is known to have great days, especially if you get a very light or (very unusual) offshore wind. The barbados rally carnival is also a ton of sport ! Check it out www.barbadosrallycarnival.com (no affiliation - other than as a competitor, etc) I would LOVE someone to bring a PROPER e30 M3 tarmac rally car out for the event. Hell, if it's a nice enough one, I might even buy it after the event and save the trouble of building mine
