The "standard" m3 would be more than fine for me ๐

Suspension upgraded

One more line struck of the โto doโ list. On to the next... She sits pretty now! Will still need finer adjustments after about 2 weeks of driving and letting the dampers to settle in. ...
Yes, I got the road/track set.
By: KamalRostov : October 31st, 2020-00:41
Itโs now set to 50/50 while waiting for the dampers to settle. Iโd perhaps go for a 25/75 biased for a harder setup.
Thank you Nico ๐๐ป

A tad soft and feels some roll around corners. Will need to fine tune it in a couple of weeks.
A bit soft for my liking if

compared to the previous setup. Yes, I will check on that too. Thank you for reminding me ๐ฌ
Iโve been doing some reading on this too...

Loads of calculations are involved, however with todayโs computing technology, it takes care of that. Nonetheless, it is the fine tuning of the mechanical parts that will require oneโs expertise and experience.
The possible combination is limitless!

Basically, Iโm currently running spacers 15mm fronts and 10mm rears on staggered wheels. Thus I will take that into account when I calculate wheel PCD/ET etc. and when doing alignment, caster/camber geometry calculations. As Iโm a greenhorn at this, Iโm r...
Thank you

Itโs just a standard M3, although Iโd love to have the CSL.

If ever youโre in my neck of the woods, we could always have a weekend tracking her Nico ๐
It looks great

รhlins was a Swedish company from the start, it has been sold back and forth during the years since 1976 when Kenth รhlin started the company. Today, Tenneco owns most of the company. รhlins is among the best when it comes to vehicle suspension. Do not fo...
Thank you John ๐๐ป

I must say that the design is quite โevergreenโ compared to her other siblings. And having a straight six naturally aspirated engine, Iโll be keeping her for some years

Congrats ! This is a total bonkers setup ! E46 M3 with Ohlins suspension, what more does a man need ? The good thing about these Ohlins is the price/quality, they don't come cheap at all but if you want even 'better' your wallet will really bleed. Am i je...
Thank you Filip ๐๐ป

After 14 years, she needs some tlc. On the to do list will be engine and gearbox mounts refresh, all bushings replacement for the front and rear subframe and also the rear differential rebuild. Phew ๐
Loads of work but I know sheโll be worth every drop of...
Differential
By: bimbeano : November 1st, 2020-01:46
There are a lot of special aftermarket bushings that can give your car a more direct feel while being not only track focused. I suppose this car has an LSD as standard, are you going to refresh or replace it ? The advantage of an LSD is simply amazing, ev...
Sorry to her about your 120d Filip ๐
By: KamalRostov : November 1st, 2020-16:44
The 120d must be torquey I imagine and nippy round bends too. Iโve been on track with the Clios on several occasions, with some heavily converted. Pocket rockets they are!!! ๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ป As for the differential, I would most likely just refurbish it. There are ...

had 400 Nm of torque. My new Megane RS (the 1.8 280 hp) has 390 Nm, but it put all off that to the front wheels. You can imagine i have to change the front tyres every 10 to 20,000 km, while not even going fast. The car weighs 1460 kilos, FWD and 355 mm B...

Alpine performance
By: bimbeano : November 3rd, 2020-03:37
A110 goes to 100 kph in 4,5 sec, you sit low to the ground, in a very light car ... so it feels even quicker. AND ... don't compare it to a Lotus or a Cayman, it's waay more comfy and sturdy than a Lotus and not as 'wiggly' like a Cayman/Boxster (unless i...

The servicing shouldnโt pose any problems, but sourcing bigger parts like a clutch would indeed be a challenge. But if you try this car you will fall in love ๐ Yes it hurt ... quite alot .... but i still managed to take a selfie in the ambulance and a few...
