Re: First trackday ðŸ˜￾

make sure you check the car over - oil, water, tyres, brake pads, brake fluid - I typically take spare engine oil and brake fluid. As far as tools go I like to take at a minimum tyre pressure gauge and torque wrench for the wheel nuts. I typically take a few more tools than that though. Also if you ...

Re: Z4 Rack - 3.0 turn, fully manual rack - Fits and Works G

Youre more than welcome to take my rack and linkage to try it out - if you don't like it just return it. I think it would be totally fine on 16" wheels. (Also in my case I have a heavy s54 lump in the front) I have a genuine CSL rack in mine now - I have to say it is sublime. Might not have the same...

Re: Z4 Rack - 3.0 turn, fully manual rack - Fits and Works G

I did this conversion over a year ago. I have since swapped it out as on my setup the steering was too heavy - although I run 245/40/18's on the front.

I still have the rack and linkage if anyone wants to buy it but I would say that if you are running big wheels then you will want a powered rack.

Unfortunately not - another build of Spencers. He had both of them with him so decided to take some shots.

If it were up for grabs I wouldnt hesitate though - its an awesome car.

Re: Track suspension setup what settings do you use?

I agree with you Rich, all my previous track cars had slight toe out at the front, however, I spoke to many E30 M3 owners with similar types of set up and they all ran straight or toe in - so i used that as a baseline. I always assumed toe out would have given sharper turn in at the expensive of a l...
