I haven't driven an M3, can anyone comment on the brakes because that seemed to be the main disadvantage and nearly cost him dearly

Was just having a look at some of the posted lap times on the net, different tracks will suit the cars better though so again it's not always comparable

M3 lap times are only marginally quicker though

Before I begin, of course we stuck to speed limits where appropriate......... On my way home from work earlier I overtook a car on a fast stretch and then noticed an e46 bmw quickly appear in my mirror (didn't realise it was an M3 until later) anyway drove the car as intended over the next 3 or...

yeah my brakes were awful when i first got the car, fronts were seized and warped and the rear ones looked like they had been at the bottom of the sea for a couple years. changed to grooved discs all round with new pads, synthetic fluid and braided hoses and they are amazing now, has transformed...

Snapped springs are common and sometimes hard to spot in situ

Yeah I already run with no additional junk in the car and only half a tank of fuel max. Interesting about the standard seat weight though

What's the actual weight of a 197 cup 1220kg?? Any tips on weight saving? Was thinking varley red top, lightweight wheels, exhaust I have the non recaro seats so guess they must be pretty heavy?

i did look at him but that seems a little expensive, i paid £300 for all parts and labour inc VAT

got a local garage to remove the manifold and weld in new flexi pipes 2 x...

most likely the flexi if it gets quieter when the car warms up, mine did the same but quickly got worse

I did discs, pads, fluid and hoses at the same time though

It's a nightmare job, I like to think I am a decent spanner monkey (engine swaps, rebuilds, head porting, ecu mapping etc) but took me best part of a day, cut the pins with a disc cutter and then beat the crap out of the remaining pin

can you post up the part numbers for reference, thanks

ok forget the headline figure, in your opinion, is it worth getting a decat and remap to improve drivability? 187 seems low, i would expect that standard

say i want a genuine 200bhp from my 197, is there a proven way to get that, i was thinking decat and remap but will that be enough, what do most cars make standard 190??

Thing is I'm not taken on the turbo conversion, I have just come from a 320hp classic impreza and I am enjoying the clio being N/A, with the clio you need to commit to drive fast and I'm not sure if some of that would be lost. 200 real hp and some mid range pull would be perfect I reckon so...
