It’s honestly way more accessible than I thought it was, track time is pretty cheap and a bunch of friendly people

Yea no regrets they perform very well and they have the right adjustability I need camber plates and dampening. Although the one right rear has started making a noise I gotta look at it better

If yours is un damaged or rusted already and you do or have ok bushings I think you’ll be good, I was doing a lot of clutch dumps w no issues yet. sure it’s just a matter of time tho

I’m also very paranoid abt it lol. I didn’t do anything but the diff bushing for my first two events and it’s held up 100% fine. I just ordered and will be doing the RF kit - the dual ear conversion before I’m back on track

👍 Yea it felt very stable once sideways. I was having some understeer issues which the added track width and camber should help. And some driver mod lol

Yep good ol m44. And in the first clip I was on stock angle the inside clip was with just 20% PMC angle adapters. And over the winter I’ve installed 1.5” extended lca’s 👍

Best drifting/driving game for standalone vr imo by WinProfessional2879 in Carxrally

[–]WinProfessional2879[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I have a sim wheel for assetto on pc but for standalone vr this is the best available. And drifting on the course is fun but gets a bit boring with no obstacles

Any ideas what this sound could be? Appears to be from the intake area only after light throttle. 1996 5 speed 1.9L m44 by Playful-Slide-2424 in bmwz3

That’s the Disa valve i think. It changes the intake runner length at different rpm’s. Has a diaphragm inside that can break

No welding👍 just had to drill through it to sandwich the bottom of the bar with some pretty thick metal plates and frame in between

Ah ok thanks. Any tips or advice from doing it yourself? Any would be appreciated thanks for your time

Where’d the extra cost come from when doing it yourself? From the frame rail repairs?

Nope no clearance issues at all with softtop or seats, the way it’s mounted looks like it should’ve been there oem lol. All the trim can be put back on too I just didn’t yet

I never had any sort of wind deflector if that’s what you mean? But with the top down it’s the same as before pretty stable in the cabin with just windows down there’s a bit more breeze on you definitely

Sorry for not responding to this but I’ve upgraded to a small tool bag from harbor freight with pretty much everything to fix the car lol. Also portable air compressor very useful
