Did you delete your seatbelt extension arms as well? That's another chunk.

Rear shelf houses two speakers and a bunch of foam too. I might take a look at that today.

There is a lot to lose back there. I kinda presumed you already stripped it. Is your carpet gone?

Nope just the rear seat itself is removed. The side bolsters, seat belts, etc. are all still there

There isn't anything behind the metal panels under the side trim in the back seat. I wanted to drive around and see the audible differences before I ditched them though. Have fun!

I got rid of only the shelf speakers, and I hardly notice a difference in the stereo lol. My base stereo didn't have rear door speakers either.

Dedicated track car here- full SPL catalog. I don't know if it's a placebo effect, but the car feels more solid and connected to the road. I wish I could comment with a lap time before and after, but other things were changed along with SPL components that contributed to lap time

Has anyone redone an epoxy coating on a concrete floor? The floor is in pretty good shape - looks like a couple of cracks and a few spots of oil that need to be addressed. The old coating has come off in quite a few places though so want to redo it now while the building is empty. Since there is still some coating on there I am thinking of renting a floor polisher & want of these pads - Coating Removal Disc - has anyone used one of these before? From what I understand after grinding with this should not need to do an acid etch? Any other advice?

I’m a newcomer at this forum, 2 months ago I bought e92 m3 competition pack, and had already done my first 2 track days with m3 at our local track Chayka (Ukraine).
https://uk.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%...0%D0%BE%D0%BC) stock spec. The oil temperature was near 120 C on fast laps, not critical, as for me. Best time: 1.33.585 Tires: front 245/35 r19 michelin cup+ ; rear 265/45 r19 michelin pss Suppose to reach 1.28.00 with more skill As I have already read at this forum, suppose that the first upgrade will be brake pads (hawk hp+), but next year. This season only training my own skills. The times of my class: Last edited by stefan_e36; 09-19-2020 at 04:42 PM.. |

The below should be trimmed a bit and made a sticky at the top of the forum.

I guess I need more camber this is my passenger front, worn outside edge. My car is stock ZCP with front camber max out.
These are RE71R with 5 track days on them. Passenger front (in photo) is by far the worse out of all. Drive front shows wear on the outside shoulder but not as bad as passenger front. Both rears are somewhat even with a bit more wear on outside shoulder. Tried to get the two front tires flip over but no tire shop would touch it. They all said this particular tire is down to the inner core on the shoulder. Would you guys suggest I just get a whole net set? Been wanting to try out the NT01. But kind of feel like a waste because the two rears still have lots of thread left and pretty even wear (although I'll still flip the tires side to side).

You need new tires. The front do not need to match the rear. Get something. The cheaper the better. Then..... 1. Go slower in the corners (the cheapest option) 2. Make sure you are not on the throttle before unwinding the wheel. the sure way to kill the outside of the tire is to be too early on the throttle 3. Until you get -3.5 front camber, you will eat the outside front if you want to go fast. there is disproportion relationship between speed and eating the outside tire. You go a bit fast, and you eat a big chunk of outside with OEM camber 4. The least costly option is to invest in a front sway bar (Hotchkis for variable, H&R for fixed) and get camber plates 5. Spending money on flipping tires is not cost effective. you can flip left to right if the track you go to has a bias toward left or right turns. 6. Until you figure out the suspension or your driving habits, use hard tires not soft ones. Consider the PS91, FFI500 instead of RE71R or MPSCup2. 7. Since the rear are not consumed as fast, consider softer compound like the RE71R to avoid oversteer as you learn your front. |

Last time I'll ask (I promise) before I just go do it.....
for those that have installed a DCT cooler (CSF, do88, etc) how much of a mess are we making to get the old cooler out? Drain trans first and that should help? I have an old washing machine pan that I stick under for these kinds of jobs but I imagine there will still be a good bit of fluid on the car too that needs to be cleaned up.

Yes, I would agree it is a waste because that tire is basically half-used if you ignore the camber wear. Looks like the car needs a camber kit and perhaps a minor adjustment to driving style as someone else mentioned. Can you please post your most recent alignment? Camber is just one component of tire wear. Buy two new fronts, there's no reason to throw out perfectly good rears. Do not make a habit of running mismatched tires unless you are in a bind. I have done it once because it was either that or I'd lose the $300ish entry fee for not being able to drive that day.
