As for the subframe, there’s practically no play in the front subframe. If there’s as much play as you believe there is, wouldn’t recentering your subframe from its recently reinstalled position to its newly recentered position most likely cause the camber to increase on one side while reducing it on the other side? |

Is the rear sway bar MR listed above correct? Unless I’m not looking at the sway bar motion relative to wheel motion correctly, shouldn’t the rear sway bar MR be closer to the damper MR than the spring MR? Above, the sway bar MR is lower than the spring MR.

Sway bar equivalent vertical stiffness calculation does not affect the MRsway measurement/calculation - MRsway = vertical disp sway / vertical disp wheel Ksway_wheel = Ksway_eqv * MRsway^2 MRsway is based on suspension geometry (for small angles cosine of the angle is ~1.0 but in reality the sway bar moves in an arc, not purely translational) so the relative position of the sway bar and wheel positions. |

I know I was trying to process what the hell was happening. Confusion mostly...is the truck really spinning off?

Would you mind sharing what you used to brace your windshield? I need to install something similar.

A piece of aluminum angle with some foam between the windshield and aluminum. I made a bracket screwed to the sheet metal at the bottom. It’s hose clamped at the top to the roll cage. Would be better to weld a tab to the windshield bar. The brace was born from driving the car and seeing the windshield flutter at 80mph in an alarming manner.

what exactly is needed to remove the hvac clump under the dash? i'm talking about the center vent cluster, heater core housing, and blower motor. i know there is a panel on the firewall that needs to be replaced... but what is involved besides that?
how do you go about plugging or removing the heater core?

Condor Speed Shop makes firewall panels for HVAC delete. There is also another thread that outlines swapping the guts between an S85 PS pump and a S65 pump to enable reversing the rotation of the pump on cars built post 5/08. S85 PS pump swap |

What keeps y'all tracking this platform in 2024?
I've been bouncing around a few ideas for the next step for a more dedicated track car vs gutting my street M3. I keep coming back to M cars since they're cheaper than Porsche, but the overall package is pretty well suited for track use, especially in terms of oil system durability in stock form when not running rcomps. Also the community and aftermarket is great. |

2. I can fix pretty much any issue I'll have with it at the track without too much downtime. My large bins of spare parts (from driveshaft guibos to front wheel hubs and wheel speed sensors to random bolts) took years to assemble and getting to the same level with another car would probably be 10k+ in parts. 3. I've already put enough money into the car as an "endurance build" that I will be driving it until something significant fails. I'm not worrying about any fluid starvation issues, even with slick tires because the biggest design issues have been fixed. 4. The cost of going to a higher performing platform is too high. How much do I want to pay to go some seconds quicker? Close to or over 200k for a 2016 GT3 RS or newer isn't worth it if that's the only reason. This is the first year I'm paying to have the car stored somewhere for the winter. Perhaps not seeing it for months instead of the usual dealing with it being in the way in the garage is helping me maintain a positive opinion on it.

Instead I picked up an E92 328i 6MT and I am building it into a Spec E9X car. Hopefully towards the end of this year I am ready for Comp licensing and then W2W racing with NASA and/or FARA in the SE region. The good thing about Spec E9X is that it's up and coming, as the series gains more traction more and more will be looking to get into it. Some are planning to swtich from SE30 and other spec cars as E36s/E46s are becoming more costly and harder to find. We'll see how it goes.

Almost everything is bigger and heavier. With the exception of maybe GT4/3, but that's a completely different price bracket... Nothing besides a few domestic offerings has a V8 - but nothing with a high-revving V8. I feel the E9X M platform offers one of the better options available for someone wanting a track capable platform, with strong aftermarket support, that's reasonably priced, reasonably fast, and still has a driving experience where you feel connected to the car but in a modern-ish platform. I went from my previous E92 M3 to an F82 M4 for a few seasons. And that platform is so much faster and more capable, but it's also way less connected to drive and less fun, in my opinion. The F8X gen feels bigger and heavier, and much less connection between the car and driver due to electronic steering vs. hydraulic, and a turbo motor, that while offers much more power and potential for power, has lag and misses the instant response of the NA V8, or the earlier NA straight 6's. I've since converted my M4 back to stock, and have picked up another E92 M3 to build for track use. For me, it's a much more enjoyable platform to track if outright speed isn't a primary concern and the driving experience and connection matters more. |
