Hi

Nice forum you guys have here.

1st post so short intro,

I decided recently that my life is not complete without a dedicated track car. After a bit of research it was clear that E36 328 was the way to go.

Picked up this car from another member on this forum actually so some of you may have seen it before. It was built and used as a track car so not really anything to be done by way of upgrades, she's pretty much good to go.

Looking forward to meeting some of the members here out on track, or road, or even just for ice cream..

And my daily drive...

Thanks for the welcome! raise:

nice what your suspension setup :rollsmile:

Front
0°10' Toe in (each side)
-2.5° Camber
Rear
0°10' Toe in (each side)
-1.5° Camber

Haven't really had that much time with it yet, it's still a new toy.
I'm sure these will change over time. Just a starting point for now.
Hoping to get my ass to Zwartkops ASAP for some 'testing'.

did you say ice cream?

Yes I did. :tease:


Oh and the Merc is awesome, really cool way to commute.
The only thing it's missing is a double clutch gearbox..

u would reduce the front toe to increase strait line stability and it should help with killing initial understeer also

what i ment by my question was what suspension parts you got :rollsmile:

 

[Twinz]

Welcome. Very, very nice rides :joy:

 

[Johnny8Bit]

what suspension parts you got :rollsmile:

Heres the list:
D2 coilovers
Strut braces are custom made
Eibach anti-roll bars
X brace
Power flex bushes
Rear camber arms

One or two other bits and pieces..

:rollsmile:

reduce the front toe to increase strait line stability

What do you mean by reduce? Make it 0?
You absolutely sure about that?

 

[moranor@axis]

i would make it 0 and only increase if you having tire temp issues or if the steering feels to vague on the straits...

you got quite good stuff there
