Thanks mate! A lot of people say that, and I also quite like spending an evening to write it down, document it, something to reference in the future too. Knockhill is defo on the list of places to visit. Just got Oulton Park left this years in November.

Update number 3.... Theres been a lot going on..... Winter Upgrades Easiest way to start this one is to look at the dyno graph for the current engine set up. I have always stayed with the M50 manifold as the torque curve on this engine set up is brilliant in my opinion, the area under the...

Update number 2 - Carried on from previous post... Regrets... If anyone was to ask me what was my biggest regret when putting together the E46. I would have said removing electric windows. Summer trackdays when the cabin temps inside a black car with no interior or insulation are easily into the...

Not had a lot of time to sit down with a laptop and document things for a while on forums. Mostly posting updates on instagram now as forums as the dying place... Give it a follow.... @Just_A_330ci Track day prep. Adjustment to alignment once again, adding more camber on the rear this time to...

Summer Track Days Cadwell Park - I hadn't touched the car barely since the last day out to Anglesey besides doing the alignment and checking over the car. Great when those afternoon laps come around and you can put together some clear laps and just enjoy the circuit The following week I...

Unlike me I barely touched the car since March up until the Anglesey track day in May. I did fit a new battery to replace the failed one from Oulton Park. When I removed the original battery it was completely flat 0v so something has broken/become disconnected inside. Fitted the new battery and...

Part 2... Ordered a new wing to try at Oulton Park Slghtly smaller than the chasis mounted wing Safe to say I noticed a big difference at Oulton without the larger wing, throughout the day I adjusted the smaller wing all the way to it's maximum setting, but the car was no where near as...

Spring arrives which brings with it the first track day for 2025 so I have had to get the car all working ready for Oulton Park which meant finishing off some of the on going jobs from over winter. MK60E5. Will document a few bits of this which I have found out along the way. I am using -...

Yeah they do, I have looked at fibreglass and even carbon boots in the CSL style, would shave off a decent amount of weight too! Can certainly feel how much more settled the car is with the rear wing on high speed corners especially when rolling off the throttle too, it balances out the front...

Funny you should say this! I have been looking at the GTS ones to go on a new boot lid I've got sat in the garage, been considering going in that direction but wasn't bringing that option up yet! Great taste!

Without.. With open cut outs With no cut outs Our Survey Says??

I haven't had any dealing with the M3 part numbered pumps, I think 813.3/817.3, But there is very little hardware difference between the E5 E90 and the version from the E92 M3 only being an internal yaw sensor on the M3 pumps. In terms of firmware the E90 version can be flashed to M3 firmware...

It's been a while so thought I'd have an update, lost interest with posting about things at the end of last year but thought some of the current stuff was worth talking about. The car didn't need much doing to it after Cadwell besides checking over the Aux Belt situation. Loaded up the night...

That’s it. Yeah the E36 was stripped last year and spent 6 months building the Cayman.

Thanks. Try to keep the updates coming and interesting. He doesn’t have one for the Porsche but eventually I think some of it will be posted on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/f0xxxxxy?igsh=ang2MGtkaXQ5bXYz
