    Shorter final drive.

    Reviving an old thread! Is there a reason everyone seems to go for the 021 gearbox? There are a few others with the same final drive as the 021. Can they also be used?

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    I went from the standard E46 M3 viscous diff to a plated drexler and the difference was night and day. I imagine this will be the same type of change. I don’t get any of that spinning up that you experience in your video when sending it over curbs etc

    Renault Clip from AliExpress - Recommendations?

    A slight warning with this. If you use you laptop for other diagnostic tools installing the linked clip earlier might break it. I use INPA for BMW and it no longer picks up the car when plugged in

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    The cheaper CLiP alternative arrived today. Will be interesting to see how I get on with this. Was always annoying that cloned CLiP was expensive and had connection issues, was so much easier to get the BMW tools when I got the M3 as they are just a free install and cheap cable.

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    This weekend was a two day event at the longest (and craziest lol) hillclimb in the UK. Was a bit nervous about entering this one as it is very fast and a lot to learn. I set myself a goal of 90s and was thrilled with 87.73s and third on both days. It felt crazy going into blind corners and not...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Got an exciting delivery today. They won’t be going in for a little bit but got them now as I was worried the promotion engine dynamics was doing on them would end.

    GW 200 CUP (clubsport->racecar->v2)

    What you say here about RPX pads is very interesting. I have them in my M3 and thought they were very good for the price but I have at times suffered ABS issues. I wonder is it the pads! The way you say about getting slowed up and on the throttle early, I found that really worked in the Clio...

    Renault Clip from AliExpress - Recommendations?

    Anyone else bought this and had it working on Windows 11 with no issues? Can it do everything CLiP can do, like airbags etc? It says cars as old as 2005, anyone know if it works on 172/182 as well?

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Got the class win at Cultra hill climb yesterday! Really happy with the win, beating faster cars including a mapped Megane 250 and E46 M3. The tight twisty hill suited the car quite well. The extreme VR-2 tyres seem to be really good, I definitely think they are the best bang for buck. Had a...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    My first outing in the Clio this year was the craigantlet hillclimb. Weather was looking good all the way up until the day, and there was light rain all day :( Was my first proper hillclimb in the car. Went quite well and the Extreme VR2 tyres in W3a were really good. The car felt really good...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    The one on my M3 is much smaller. The regs say it has to be flat black too

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Yea its a beam splitter for timing There are regulations about having it and about its size. Mine is a bit big lol But the final regs for a specific event will often remind you to have it and then say something like “Don’t come crying to us if you don’t have it and you don’t get timed” I think...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Irish 197

    Hi from NI, check the heat shield on the starter, it caused me nothing but issues shorting out. I run without it now

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Yea couldn't bare the lettering cam uses :tearsofjoy: He will do two whites as well if you prefer. I’m so used to seeing southern irish cars driving around and I think they look weird with white rear plates :tearsofjoy:
