Chad,
Its going to be kept fairly standard. It already has AP's and an exhaust and if I'm being totally honest that's fine for this car. I have the race car to chuck full on modifications at so will be happy if this ends up back as a nice weekend / odd track day car. I'll throw a clutch / flywheel and a set of big end bearings in while its in this state of disrepair though. (already had the HG done under warranty) |

Totally depends on which circuits you are going to.
I have a friend who ran his E46 M3 for a very long time on CSL front brakes / Std rear brakes. He had RS29 pads, good fluid, braided hoses and brake cooling. Only shorter circuits would give him problems as not enough space between braking zones to get the discs back down in temperature. The ring for example was fine and he could do sub 8min with this set up. I use Intrax 1K2 on the race car and they are fantastic. perfect for my limited ability on suspension set up, I think with anything more then Id be in a world of pain at a race meeting twiddling knobs unaware of what i was actually doing ![]() ![]() KW do some pretty good stuff and are equally on par with a lot of higher end set ups. Worth serious consideration if you are looking at kits. Quote:

![]() ![]() On a more practical note what if any preventive maintenance is worthwhile? Lots of talk about head casket, bearings, etc. Probably a new thread on preventive maintenance might be an idea. Thought about sending the oil off for analysis. I understand this should indicate bearing wear. |

![]() ![]() I don't know which end of a screw driver to use so have to trust a friendly mechanic to keep cesil in good order. Always been of the mind if it's not broke leave well alone, but don't want to end up with a fooked engine. Any thoughts on getting the engine oil analyiised? |
