Re: Tarox vs Nitrac vs Red Dot vs EBC

Standard solid discs are my choice. Put the extra cash on your next set(s) of brakepads and some good cooling for the fronts. Your brakes should never fade, if they do its lack of cooling or you need some more aggressive pads. (or bigger brakes altogether)

Re:

When you lower it you increase the amount of camber. I think mine was at -2.5 on the alignement machine, even more when its loaded. And my last set of r888s were worn mostly on the outside (warranting the use of even more negative camber).

They do fit, and you're better off sourcing the calipers elsewhere imo


Edit:
And 10mm spacers either way isnt going to do much to et23(?) wheels, you still have less scrub then most normal wheels do.

Re: Semi slicks

If we are talking road AND track, i agree. Track pads are horrible on the road. But even on BBKs, road pads never feel as good as track pads when warmed up around a track (even if the road pads are on APs and the track pads on stock sliders). Ive put a season on my pads and have lost maybe 20% (PFC ...

Re: Semi slicks

Regarding bigger brakes, it IS all hype and "blind factor". Unless you have 500kg of lead in your car or a significantly more powerful engine the stock 325i brakes are more then enough with some good cooling to the fronts, coupled with a good racepad and they stop EXACTLY as well as 500mm hyperbling...

Re: what anti roll bars?

I am also running mine without a rear bar, compensate for the lost spring rate with stiffer rear springs, better tracktion out of corners.

Re: New boots ...

But the price on R888s is now too high. Dunlop DZ03s are probably better value as they are a bit cheaper and last a bit longer. Really? I got a new set of tyres mid summer and (for me) dunlops were almost 50% more then r888s, still wish i went for them, im not a fan of r888s after a couple of sets,...

Re: Track day set up

Uwe, my car is a full time track car (so no road driving). I would not set my road car for so much toe out. Dave, Front toe in makes the car dart towards to corner on turn in, unsettling the car as it cannot "set" first. Rear toe in is good for straight line stability. Still are you sure you run 2d...

0,15 degrees toe out per side front helped turn in (my car anyway), any more will just eat tires and do nothing (on my car) Camber front depends so much on what tire you run, been doing -3.5 with r888s and its WAY to liberal, i'd go 5 if i could, last tires i went through was only down max 1mm from ...

Re: Arai GP-5W XL for sale

Just the helmet i want, and in the right size, AND a bargain!

But in the wrong country, and at the wrong time financially (money need to be spent on cage and other pre-garage season items)

Good luck with your sale, after its sold please tell us what you disliked about it that made you sell it.

I seriously cant imagine there NOT being the equivilent to our "Label off" in Britain. Its stuff you use to pretty much get sticker-glue and stuff off, we have several different brands with it here.

Ah ok, a cat is a requirement for all racing (i think) over here, still a great price for a complete exhaust thats built for racing.

The Klarius one, is that for the whole exhaust with cat, or after cat? I need a new exhaust for my 325 bmwcup, (like pbmwc but in Sweden) everything after header (must be standard in my class)

Re: 'Shit stain' left over after stripping out sound deadeni

Here in Sweden we have something called "Label off" and im sure something similar is available over there. You just spray it on thick, leave it for 5 minutes and wipe it off, smells of lemons and is totally hazard free to get on your hands or anything. It dissolves the glue residue and leaves clean ...

e36 compacts have the same rear suspension as e30s tho ;P They are however massively popular here in sweden for trackdays and "our" pbmwc.
