Soldato
Took my chum out for a blast in the old m3 today which was most fun (apologies to the clio on the sliproad onto the a27, didn't know your car was so wide you needed both lanes, lucky I didn't mind the rumble strip at 90mph don't aye )
In turn he took me out in his s2000, carbon fibre hood F&R strut braces and lower cross braces, racing shocks, imported racing mani to tail exhaust no cat and some lightweight three piece rims (a few engin mods but new ecu with much vtec fiddling coming soon).
Such a different car to the M being some 500+ kg lighter even with a power defercit it was AWSOME, the noise of the exhaust (about 105+db, has fun on track days lol) was incredible if a little OTT for me. He is a bit of a drift miester having done many drift days etc so had some nice almost unremarkable roundabout moments due to the ease he did them with.
Even flicked the old DSC off due to the nice weather to get a feel for the new car as I enjoyed getting the bum out on the e36 m3, even with more power and alower ratio bos the e46 is harder to break traction with due to stupid grip levels compared to the e36. But I managed
Really got me going again for doing more things to my car.
Having sorted the pagid blue pads, goodridge hoses and some 5.1 fluid I have decided that tomorrow I will be purchasing the Miltek 100 cell racing cats and catback system. This will kill the annoying M3 exhaust rattle and give a bit more power along with a decent exhaust note, at 98db it is loud enough and trackday friendly.
Once I have that the Thorny Motorsport remap will be booked
yay
not even thinking about cost at the moment
