E21 Group 5

Post by Skintkarter »

Hi folks

Richard from Auckland New Zealand. My two boys have retired from karting, still have the need for speed and we don't have the budget for 2 single seaters, or even half a single seater... So we are building a trackday car. My first BMW was a 1976 Inca Orange M10, so we are kind of doing that, but with a bit more wick. Been a bit of feature creep. We will put some forged bits inside the M50 and hope for around 600hp and a weight of under 1000kgs.

Sorry, not too sure about adding images yet, but have a facebook page with progress on the build.

Cheers

Richard.

It's a start Richard! :wink:

I have tons of pics on the Group 5 cars, really have to make a separate photo thread on them both here and on Facebook. As soon as I have some spare time!

For now, good luck and keep us posted, share a few pics every now and then!
Regards/groeten, Jeroen

Thanks all. Jeroen - is there a thread somewhere on posting images to the site? I had a poke around in the FAQ section but still couldn't work it out.

In the meantime I put the Elan Motorsport Facebook webpage in the spotlight at our own Facebook group which has generated a lot of replies, responses and likes. Nice work and keep us updated Richard!
