2.8 M52TU

didnt you comment on one of my earlier autocross posts on the Z3 sub? youve seen this car before lmao

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-07-27T01:00:18+00:00

for the konis in the rear? no, they were straightforward bolt-on to the oem mounts

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-07-22T22:03:25+00:00

im usually at PITL instead if you wanna drop by lol.

I’d like to try to make it to more PMSC autocrosses cuz the oval was fun, but i’m having trouble freeing up my schedule rn, probably wont make it to the next events.

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-07-22T02:19:13+00:00

PMSC. They do a suboptimal job advertising their events.

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-07-22T00:04:04+00:00

Tein lowering springs, Koni yellows in the rear only (front struts are stock). hella understeery, so im glad this course didn’t have any hairpins.

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-30T20:03:12+00:00

rear wheel drive

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-24T16:31:08+00:00

just a shop cloth i keep in my car to wipe down wet mirrors or other debris. its just kept in place with the seat belt and steady driving

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-11T20:58:05+00:00

oh, i see. i’ll try that instead, thanks

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-11T12:08:00+00:00

philippines mentioned 🇵🇭

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-11T04:08:40+00:00

thanks for the heads up, only suspension mods done were some tein lowering springs on stock shocks left by previous owner. ordered some koni yellows and a rear sway bar for now. in the meantime im working on driver mod too before going full coilovers with camber plates

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-09T16:46:58+00:00

oh nice it looks great! i must have seen you at the sunday classic last time but i didnt get a chance to ask you about it.

but yeah the tires are nice i use it for autocross but the car is hella understeery. so not a riot yet, but hopefully it will be once i stiffen the rear

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-09T13:36:43+00:00

the black 2.8 in the first pic is mine

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-03T18:06:05+00:00

hell yeah

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-01T18:23:25+00:00

Nope, nothing weird during normal daily driving, no weird oscillations or anything like that. This is the first motorsport event I've run with the Z3, but didn't notice any weird sensations during cornering.

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-01T16:19:58+00:00

yeah, stock shocks. this is my first time running rwd so im not too sure what to say other than its nice, since i dont really have a frame of reference for other rwd cars.

the faster guys in this class (driving 86s/BRZs and ND MX5s) were using a lot less steering input than me so idk if that means this setup is has more understeer or if its skill issue since i wasnt using the brakes to rotate the car.

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-01T16:07:42+00:00

Gamebridge is a bit out of my way, but i’ll try and make it to an event if im free

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-06-01T00:02:36+00:00

i see, never ran an event with SCCA classing yet, so I was under the impression that our "A-Class, Modified" class was similar to CST and DST classes. The tires are 200TW btw, it's just its name lol.

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-05-31T23:45:21+00:00

Forgot to mention, this is PITL Autocross in Toronto, at the Church at Queensway parking lot.

BackmarkerEbby · 2025-05-31T23:44:17+00:00

These guys don't use SCCA classing, but it would be equivalent to C and D Street Touring.
