E92 M3 track build

dsme94 · 05-29-2021, 07:41 AM

Back on track again last night with Police Scotland with an external GPS so much more accurate timing, wasn't particularly happy with the car yesterday, i softened the rebound off but it made the car very unstable at the rear and turn in wasn't as good. Was hoping for a new PB but didn't get it, pretty disappointed. My NS2Rs are almost on the limit now so it's time for a new set I think. Was looking to go AR1s this time but not sure it's worth it right now, would rather just get some cheap fun until I've got the bushes all changed.

A few items took prisoner last night, lost a wheel cap, petrol cap ejector broke leaving the petrol cap open (picked new up from BMW this morning 1 minute job to change), and more importantly the gearbox stopped shifting nearer the end of the session. Backing off allowing the box to cool the shifts were back on point. The car was left running for some time before going out so chances are the box was heat soaked if that's what you'd call it.

Back on track 3rd of June.

The session from 3rd of June was much better than 28th, I swapped the tyres back to front and the car felt a good bit better but lots more understeer. Tyres are totally gone so have got a new set coming for 28th June. Managed a new PB of 57s.

Beautiful details in this build!

Thank you mate.

Was back on track Monday and managed to get a new PB, quite a lot faster than before 57.5. Really happy with that. I was on some new tyres, and a new brand, Zeknova.

Here is some footage included the 57.5 video on a playlist.

Got a little bit frustrated with the Mini that just would not let me past despite me being faster...

How is the BTCC brake kit holding up? I'm looking at this option. I did hear about the rattle and heard that someone fixed it with anti rattle clips or springs in the hat/bell hardware. I noticed TrackFormula sells a kit but I saw lots including you mention Malc Buck selling one. I'm not sure what the difference is but I am attempting to message Malc. Not sure if he ships to the US anyways.

Just finished reading your thread. Nice build. Wondering the current status in 2022
