E46 M3 track slag turned around in a day

So went to Snetterton yesterday to try out the Dunlop 03G.

What a awesome road legal tyre.

Mixed conditions, damp, dry, sunny, sleet then rain.

Heres a picture of first session:

So got to try the tyres on a drying track.

Really impressed with the damp grip and especially on the road.





As good as full fat cups if not better.

Compared to the slicks you cannot carry as much speed into the corner and have to brake earlier.

On my last session I had these squealing around Riches and Coram when the track was colder.

Being able to arrive and drive was pretty cool.

I didn't manage to have any clear laps but judging by this I can do 2.15 in traffic with a 2.13 best.

Id say with more tuition and a warmer day a 2.11 is achievable.

Not quite on Shimmy's and Barry's pace but getting closer.
No engine mods or maps.



Nice to get some pax laps off Samr and that he is also capable of delivering some decent times. Sam managed a second quicker than me 2up.

Ill be at Snetterton again soon before Donny.

Need a dry warm day to see if this car can consistently do 2.11 on standard engine before air box, cams or remap.

So sent ecu off to mike, mike did his thing and I went to his Saturday.

I had Csl snorkel so wanted a working flap.

Mike was a sound genuine guy and the map and the way the car pulls is insane.

It has totally transformed the car especially up the Rev range and pushing on.

Comparing it to my Csl this m3 is bloody quick, the Csl was 383bhp on the dyno, I wouldn't know what this is but can really feel the difference and smoothness when giving it full beans.

Looking forward to Donny and then Snetterton after that.

She's knows the crack. Each time I buy some mods it costs me a mulberry bag

This has finished the car now bar fitting interior back in
