E46 M3 fast road - track car
Discussion
Love it. One of the nicest cars ive seen.
Id question those brake ducts tho. The veins in the discs are design to throw air out the edges. this seems to contracdict that? Would it be better to put the feed to the center of the disk to increase flow through the disc as designed and hence make it cooler?

Yeah I'm under that same impression. But going to give these a go on track and if they prove to be no good I'll ducted from the centre of the disc. Id question those brake ducts tho.

Few small updates
As I needed a taller seat for the harness slots to be my shoulder height. Good friend lent me his recaro pro racer seat. Love it!
Found a good place to tie the dog to. Although did come back to him with the lead under the bumper and him stuck.
Finally redone my sun strip with no creases or bubbles. I royally messed up the last one so was happy with this
Then I used the left over carbon from my stereo blank to add a little more air intake as I've robbed the engine of the lower feed that is now only a brake duct.

Awesome car, awesome photos, really like this dude. How do you find the Nankangs? I have them on my Clio 200. They're aren't bad for the money but I don't find them as grippy as the Yoko AD08R's I had on my Civic Type R previously.
Once you've got some heat on them they seam pretty good. Only problem I found is they go off a little quick. Now running a Eventuri intake which added a nice proven 10.6 bhp just from a air filter. Will be doing a full write up soon.
Also installed a oil catch can and gold intake tape, have since wraped the maf housing too.
Someone took a nice pre track photo from the back of the pits area

Really enjoyed clapping around sliverstone, shame I never looked around the sunday service.

Few pictures from the Total M cars 2nd anni at Evolve Eventuri HQ
More of the Eventuri intake as its just a work of art.
Also had to make a custom feed as my brake ducks got rid of the stock oem lower feed
Yesterday I finally swapped over my Vibra Technis prototype trans mount for their in production item
At the same time fitted my UUC DDSR
The new mount has made the world of differance, my exhaust was every so slightly rubbing on the old item so is lot quieter now
Have some pictures from the PHSS round Sliverstone too.
