Whats with the rear swaybar delete? You dont get any piggy understeer?

Will

see spring rate

[e9nine]

News flash - you'll still get some of that in C group - not quite as bad, but the 540i/6 who brings it to a near halt in some of the easier turns, and then points you by, only to keep his foot on the throttle.

Looks like you had good time. Keep flogging that beast.

I believe you.... I would rather go to C then B so I can get used to the slightly faster paced running then get nice and comfy with B. C people are better than D for sure but the aggression they possess is not all that cool as some dude wanted to pass within 3 secs of the end of the passing zone and got pissed when I didn't point him by :tsk: Another dude decided to ride my ass as I waited for a point so when I didn't get it he had to swerve a tad. I wasn't amused at his antics but w/ever. Can't wait for October when we have the next DE.

No rear sway due to spring rate as pointed out by 2002 Maniac.

Thanks guys! Haha nothing for sale at the moment yet.

2 door specs:

Hawk HPS pads. e30m3 5 lug hardware. Stock Balo Rotors. Falken Azenis 615 205/50/15. ATE Super Blue. 600Front 650 Rear GC semi-coilovers. Koni Single Adjustables. Rear Swaybar Delete.

4 door specs:

Hawk HP plus. ATE PowerSlots. Bilstein Sports. 450Front 575 Rear GC semi-coilovers. Rear Swaybar Delete. 4.10LSD

Rear swaybar delete is good for stability and learning, but you can get away with things you shouldn't do in most cars, like lifting mid-apex... or maybe other parts of my drift setup also had to do with it. You don't get into as much trouble with these snap oversteering beasts, which is good at limit or past it (drifting).

No swaybar is nice in back, but you might have to relearn or discover/drop you bad habits if you go to a different car/setup.


Why HPS on track car? And HP Plus on the pretty one?? And did the 615s get greasy? I have heard the Azenis sports are very predictable, and may upgraded from my ES100s junkers.


Either way, the 2 door looks sweeeeet and sexy.

Holy shit...whoever removed those headlights from your old car did an outstanding job.

As always, :up:

The ass in C is Heeter's alter ego.

[bmwm3n528]

A cooler, lighter version of mine...




...Yeah, that fellow was so much faster than I was. :D

[Dave]

I considered the rear sway delete, and I have the same "man" rates in the rear as e9nine. Hmmm . . . . .

e99 - is your delete a new thing - that is, can you compare it to track time with the bar?

lance is a poser drifter, so I ignore him.

Though he has a point re: the brake pads. the HP+, though a street pad, would be better suited for DE than HPS, I'd think.

[e9nine]

Sadly no track comparison btwn sway bar delete vs. sway bar present. When is your next event? As you know it's easy to disconnect to compare.


The suspension on the 4 door came from my old Dschwarz m42 which was going to be the auto-x/DE car. I had all the parts purchased and installed then I ended up getting this whitey 2 door car with the m3 suspension and thus couldn't use them . I am thus using them till they DIE (which will take forever!!). It helps that the car is on Koseis as these fuckers dust like no other and squeeeeealll during daily use scaring little kids and animals


Ahhh my twin with more power and the masking tape protector mod. Dunno about "cooler" since the pics make the car look better than it really is

[Dave]

August 11 is my next one. One day at Mid-Ohio. Then back again on August 26-27 for more Mid-Ohio goodness. I might have the cojones to run on r-comps the later one.


Ditto on the dust. I can live with the squeal.

Schweeet.. Enjoy. I guess once you know the track well enough to know where your speeds and "slip" zones are...your cojones will talk to your feet and hands and keep you in check with the extra edge

Yeah, but don't all E30s.

[e9nine]

Excuse the crappy pics - it's just a 4 banger with 4 doors

[Axxe]

Yeah, but don't all E30s.

Yeah, in person they look like busted up aquariums resting on busted up carboard boxes on wheels.
