Road rally E36 318is

Postby celgt4 » Fri May 08, 2009 10:04 am

I am new to the site but have been impressed with the depth of knowledge expressed and written on these threads. So impressed I thought I would ask for some information.
I have bought a 1995 E36 318is to use on the Garstang and district road rally in June. At the moment the car is standard but I would like to improve upon it. I am not bothered about increasing BHP unless it is simple, cheap bolt on goodie but I am looking to set the car up correctly on it standard suspension.
So what I would like to know is,
Can I adjust the camber on a standard car?
What camber/caster/tracking should I run?
Where can I get a sump guard from?
What front brake pads should I use on the standard disks?
Where can I get them from for the best price?
What engine mods can be looked at in the future?
Any other ideas for the way forward would be gratefully recieved.
Many thanks

i'm not hugely knowledgeable on e36's but i'll give it a go.

m3 top mounts can give you different camber i believe.

for m42/m44 tuning have a look at the bruvs build of jonny sprinters 318is in the cars section.

don't know any of the rest :oops:
