1995 BMW E36 M3
So the third car has finally been added to the stable!
She’s a pristine black on black 1995 E36 M3 with a ferocious 1999 M3 power plant. What makes this car so much fun is that it has many of the right essentials to put it on the track. Yet, it is still a great daily driver!
It starts with the SuperSprint Euro headers, JB Racing LTW 11lb. flywheel, Dinan short shift kit and 24 lb injectors. What makes it handle? This starts with 245/40ZR-17 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec’s, stopped with Hawk HP + pads, Motul RBF 600, Ground Control adjustable rear lower control arms, Treehouse racing eyeball arms and more…
This is a great start to what will end up being MW3Motorsports’ first full track prepped car. There are many more additions to the motor and chassis to come so stay tuned and you’ll see the progress as we move to the next stages of car development.
1998 BMW E36 M3
June 2011, an opportunity arose MW3 simply couldn’t pass up… and a 1998 Titanium Silver E36 M3 ended up in our garage. The E36 platform has treated us well and we didn’t hesitate to jump on the chance to add another to the stable.
This car came to us proven and very nicely prepped. AST 4200’s give rebound and compression adjustability. A square set of D-Force wheels means easy rotation of tires. The bolt-in roll-cage and Cobra seats keep the driver firmly planted. A pull-out front splitter and LTW wing provide downforce through high-speed turns. It sits very nicely at the top of NASA’s TTC class.
A few small tweaks were made during the off season. New Schroth Clubman harnesses and a Sparco flat-bottomed steering wheel have been installed. The water temp, oil temp and oil pressure gauges were moved to be directly in the driver’s line of sight via a custom panel fitted into the center vent location. All four corners were treated to new PowerSlot slotted rotors, and were paired with Hawk DTC-60’s and brake ducts up front, HT-10’s in the rear. Nitto NT-01’s have been selected as the tire of choice for the 2012 season due to their streetability (comparative to Hoosiers) and durability (heat cycles? what heat cycles?).
This car won’t be new to the Rocky Mountain region’s NASA Time Trials, but the Christina is new to the car and looking forward to competing – and winning! – in her class.
2006 Mitsubishi Evolution MR
The Mitsubishi Evo was built to race right out of the box. The brakes, suspension, power and overall performance of these cars provide some of the best bang-for-the-buck. The best part about the Evo is you can add a few key parts and now you have a serious race car. The MW3 Evo has been tested and tuned for A class in the NASA Rocky Mountain region Time Trials. After a lot of time and math, the power-to-weight ratio and modification points put us at the top of the class with a few points to spare.
