Craig's 328i Sport - e36 Track Car Build Thread

Craig, I had the same problem with 'melting' the powder coating off the mounting-face of my wheels at Oulton last week. I've got AP's on my E36 and I'd been leaning on them a fair bit all morning. Anyway, just as I turned into Lodge, I got the horrible collapsed bearing sound so went straight into the pits and found my wheel almost hanging off! Scary.

Had to tighten them up another 2-3 times throughout the day as I melted more coating off the back.

Apologies for the picture whoreing but this is where all E36's deserve to be these days... on the track
