I have found this with my car too - not sure whether you can get the engine as far back in an e21 without substantial firewall mods though.e21-Mark wrote:I drove a really well sorted m30 powered e30 race car at Brands earlier in the year and it was nowhere near as nose heavy as you might imagine. They'd spent a while sorting corner weights and getting spring/shock & ARB combination sorted and it was actually pretty neutral. It pulled like a train out of the slow stuff too.
I have my motor in Position 3 (Hartge H35 position) and the hammering is not that bad with the e34 engine. I only moved the firewall back about 5mm. The handling is virtually unchanged from when the M20 was in there in most situations.
At the moment I'm running stock sway bars - if I fitted a slightly heavier front sway bar I think you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference from the M20.
Andy - I know a couple of guys that have snapped up the M635s from the UK in recent times
Maybe one day we'll start exporting them back to the UK with our good weather down here.
