E30 BMW M3 Track Car - DCT Transmission Get In The Bin!

this is literally my dream build holy fuck, can't wait to own one

Amazing work🙌

I've no idea what dme/dkg combination is in this vehicle but I can tell you as a matter of fact an oem dme/dkg combo interfaced properly works 100% reliable as it does in the road cars it came in. Problems come from people. It's a shame you were unable to get the support you need to make it work as simply put nothing comes close to controlling these products as the equipment which was made to do so.

Yeah, unfortunately DCT's don't seem to transfer well to other cars although there are aftermarket DCT's with their own control units but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I have this one in an is and it’s been giving me issues

Well this is very entertaining
Over a year ago I was tagged on your post by a follower saying you should do what I did and go sequential
You basically said my set up was shit compared to DCT 🤣

Dual Clutch Transmission Transmission

🤣🤣🤣 When you had the light on the floor, you both looked like the guys who melted in Raiders of the lost Ark....

Piss Poor Preparation. Or Jay .... Can't stop LMFAO

Nuances, guys. We're all speaking the same language, but different.

No, Phil, you never have to explain to those who follow you. 😆

“Things are escalating” love it

DID THIS HAVE V10, OR IS THIS ANOTHER CAR???

Phil, I’m glad you binned off that particular DCT control method, I’ve had issues with mine for a long time. I’ve stuck it out and it’s at a point where I can use it on track but I wouldn’t trust going to the shops with it.

I’ll give you the keys to the DCT E39 M5 if I see you on a track day, see if our notes compare 😅

Love seeing the 2 E30s in the workshop together 💪💪

how about 8hp70? I see lot of people using them now since they are so versatile and reliable. Can even add clutch pedal and make them like sequential with turbo lamik

You should kit this out for some racing, loads of series out there suitable for this car

Throw the dct in the bin and put a DSG IN THERE

Did you consult HTG product development about your problems? What did they say?

I love it!! Thanks guys!!

omg an original e30 m3 getting molested car crime right here

Unfortunately another HTG dream flushed away 😢

Not the first but unfortunately not the last one who got tricked by the gearbox controller companies marketing. Sad to see so many DCTs sacrificed to HTG.

Hate This Gerbox? 🤔

congrats on the 200k subs

You scaring me man.....I was about to go M3 dct 8 swap.....so do you think it work for drag racing?

Hi are you doing drifting in North Wales at angelsy circuit this weekend

Bless Phil. He does all the stuff I would do,….if I had the skill, money and will power.

I would love to see you guys try one of samsonas H patter gearboxes!!

Was the dct helical gears? The appeal of the whine off straight cuts has wained over the years but they do work.

AT LAST!!! seemed like a great idea all of us would've tried but considering how many times it fails it makes sense to get rid of it

Can't wait to see it at Castle Combe :-) Sequential should sound ace!

Prop shaft = propeller shaft, in my neck of the woods.

By far my most favourite DW build. Can't wait to hear the whine on its first track day! Phil, do a competition for a passenger ride at its first track day next year!!

Excellent work once again. Persevering with a challenge is all well and good, but sometimes the right call is to give up and pursue a different solution. The DCT looked great to drive when it was on form, but I'm sure the sequential box will be almost as good, and WAY less problematic. Absolute win on the weight savings too! Top stuff 👍👍👍

Can't wait to hear this thing! You're going to need ear plugs methinks!

Favourite in the arsenal Phil, don't bend it!

Phil, you're a man of exquisite taste with the accompanying very high standards and thats why your builds are so good.

Most people would just deal with it, cheap out, or just give up.

You deserve all the props in the world for having that eye for detail and constantly striving for excellence.

That sadly is missing a LOT these days, so to see you time and time again doing what you feel needs to be done to make it right is not only commendable, but should be (Rightly) celebrated

Been following you guys from Australia since the forum days, never miss a video

Turbolamik and a 8hp70... well no point in that now. congrats on the sequential.

IN THE BIN!!!!!!!!

Ha ha Phil I hate to say it is turning into the cleetus of the UK 🇬🇧 lol 😆

I don't know if it will make a difference with their product but closed loop is coming within the next week or so.... supposedly.

What? No Marty "in the bin" clip?

So happy to see this video being made, the gearbox the car has always deserved. Really keen on seeing what the corner weight differences end up being.

Can i get that DCT transmission

No such word as 'Latheing' its 'Turning'.

Nobody can say you didn’t try Phil if you had carried on your daughter would’ve probably reached 17 before it would go positive with the thing 😂

Check out turbolamik zf8 hp transmission swaps

I met you year’s ago at bruntingthorpe we had fastest fiesta turbo
Long time ago
