#BecauseRaceCar Story and Build - M60 6-spd

That is honestly a downgrade. Not hating. Do more research, talk to more people at the track, there are guys on this forum with lots of setup and track experience... not one of them will tell you to go that route. If you are looking to get better and learn about setting up your car, cheap shocks won't get you anywhere

What's the issue? You should be able to work with the Konis for your setup. What are you considering changing to?

my coworker had konis and they were blown after 10k miles. I am going to go with the CAtuned true coilover.

What does your sister think of her "old" car?

she misses it and says why do I keep messing with it. lol

What's your current suspension setup? I can't remember, having read through this thread a few months ago.

ground control. its garbage. lol

The chassis can definitely handle the power.. but as mine is right now, I am going to have to retune everything else on the car to dial it in. That means larger brakes, better suspension.

You're doing the world good by displaying an M60 E30. Treating the car well too, making it look easy to drive it smoothly. Speaking of which, is it scary at all, or does the chassis still overpower the engine?

Good to see it on track man. I love Thunderhill, I wish it was on this side of the country. Here is a video for inspiration-



I work on these cars as a side gig, and this dude is fast... Roll it in!

:eeek::eeek::eeek::eeek::eeek:

yeah thunderhill is definitely a miata track. that guy was catching air over the bypass.. that is insane.. my fastest time out there was a 2:14, that guy did it well under 2 minutes..

My car sounded different than another other V8 out there on the track, people knew i had a V8 but couldnt figure out what kind haha and yes the sound is proper. so smooth and beautiful sounding.

It pushes you into the back seat when you step on it, holy hell. How does the balance feel? Noticeable looser in the rear end with no power input through the corners?

Yeah the rear end is all over the place, If i step on it coming out of a corner it breaks loose even with my 225 Toyo RR slicks. with no power input too much weight on the front end. im going to have to redo my whole suspension. Stay Tuned

That sound though!
