Corner weight

[TrackM3]

Still on the hunt for a 200 cup as a run about car, but, this year's M3 track prep is taking up all my current free time.

Finished solid ally bushing the whole rear and popped to Spires Tuning for a corner weight and aggressive geo setup.

Car weighed in at 1315kg, may seem a lot compared to a clio, but that's over 200kg lighter than an stock E46 M3.







Never had a proper corner weight setup before so looking forward to seeing the difference on track.

Attending the Piston Heads Sunday Service at Silverstone tomorrow, said to myself will sign on to a few sessions if the weather's good, but it's set to be raining all morning so have roped in a friend to taxi my wet racing tyres there, just in case.

Bloody outstanding as always Sam. Remember years ago asking you how you felt after removing your sound deadening. You came back with "no idea, I've taken the back out now anyway" and I thought, ok he's not messing about.

It's been pretty relentless ever since.

 

[LOCKE]

Bloody gorgeous mate.

Title was meant to read "Corner Weight" not sure how I managed that.

Thanks guy I keep telling myself that the cars now finished, but have a feeling that won't last long.

Absolutely gorgeous car, the only car I think I want next is an E46 M3. Maybe an E92 if I had the cash.

Thanks man

46 prices are on the up and 92 on the down so it's a tough one.

Absolutely stunning. I wish I could run an M3 E46 for track days!

Well the new setup and corner weight made all the difference.

Attended a PistonHeads Sunday Service and signed onto a few sessions.
