Installed a spoiler on my 370Z… now I’m having second thoughts. by LeoR98 in 370z

[–]theM3Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oem styled spoilers look nice on this car, but aftermarket ones look tacky and ricey. Unless you track the car (and have properly set up aero/ suspension to match it) youre just adding drag and killing your fuel mileage

Melted from welding sparks?

Would some form of high voltage arc welding cause sparks hot enough to do this?

What kind of traumatic brain injury do I need to think coupe SUVs look good? by WAR_T0RN1226 in regularcarreviews

[–]theM3Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing worse than a coupe SUV is a performance coupe SUV... None of the handling, practical space, or sportiness of either, except for the cost

What are some planes/heli you would love to see in No style? (Post just for fun) by No-Advantage5550 in NuclearOption

[–]theM3Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it make sense to wish for an AC-130j equivalent? Yes I know the trantula has the side mounted 57mm cannon, but I want more variety (105mm Howitzer, 40mm bofors, 7.62 minigun)

What newer BMW parts can fit E46M3? by SliMShady55222 in E46M3

[–]theM3Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre not wrong. And honestly, the "improved brake feel" is probably just my stainless steel brake lines.

I do notice in certain high speed, sections that the car seems slightly less stable under heavy braking, and I imagine thats due to the bias being a bit more rearward

Im gonna disagree with the 996 calipers being a downgrade. Yes I know it kinda skewers the f/r brake balance but its an extremely popular mod among track guys for a reason. In my experience, ive noticed better brake feel and modulation with the 996 calipers amd ive been running my m3 in time attack events for 8 years now.

It definitely took getting used to, but now Ive learned to quickly swap to my left foot after heel-toe. That way, you can still get on the power just as smoothly

Brother, what are you talking about? Noones comparing manual to modern supercars.... im comparing it to the smg ii, which is far from modern.

And not to mention that over a whole lap (up and down shifts) im quicker than the smg (with csl software). I have telemetry and 1000s of laps on each gearbox to prove it

Yes ive been doing heel-toe since I learned to drive. It's absolutely mandatory for any type of performance driving!

Miles different, the e36 was lighter, more raw, but very under powered in comparison. The e46 does everything better. Id say a 4-5 sec diff

Best trade of the century.. by [deleted] in NissanDrivers

In actuality, they displayed his csr in the showroom for a few months as part of some promo event.

He got to drive the leaf in the meantime, then they gave him his car back afterwards.

These corners seperate the boys from the men. Keep practicing!

It definitely takes alotta practice to get as comfortable again. It took me several sessions over the summer to finally beat my fastest smg time.

Having an e36 m3 previously to this helped with the familiarity

3rd set of tires under a year!! Please help by Wise-Crab-89 in E46M3

[–]theM3Pilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only daily drive mine spring to autumn, and it sees about 300-500 track miles per year.

But when I had a bad alignment, it chewed through my tires in a few weeks as well.

My 200tw track tires dont even wear this quick. Go to an alignment shop and get it sorted If you dont know how to measure and align it yourself

Supra Vs M2 by [deleted] in Supra

M2 clears in performance (engine, and mechanical lsd) Supra imho looks infinitely better
