What happens to the car when you do all that work to the front but don't do anything to the rear? Any handling weirdness?

e: Ur nuts are hot :q:

I dunno man! It's living on the ramp with the rear subframe and fuel tank and exhaust etc off while subframe mounts get reinforced and subframe gets rebuilt! I'm mental but I'm not that mental hahaha :) !

Thank u ;)

Aren't highly cambered wheels supposed to have a bit of toe out to cancel out camber thrust? Or does this car not have that because racecar?

I don't know? I understand the basic principle of camber thrust but not in this context. Can you elaborate?

op when you're done with this, you should buy an E92 M3 and convert it to an E46 M3 and see if you can recoup the costs from this project

Real talk: I'd have sold my E46 years ago if the E92 looked half as good... It's such a better car.

I'd love to put a yank v8 in a csl and cut it up no joke. I get enough poo poo for "destroying a classic" using this shonky rear end normal car hahaha. I don't massively care about the costs tbh. Even if I spend 30k on it I'm not gonna be able to go faster til I spend like 100. Plus it's fun.

Hello. I went to the Nurburgring.





Here is my lap video.

Obviously I would have liked to go quicker in trip 1 but I am happy being into mid 9s. Starting to put together more and more of the track and hopefully will click next time.
Damp conditions and lack of knowledge were incredibly intimidating. I think I did go faster on a lap afterwards but not filmed so ignore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_AnA-04HDo

Saw some insane other bits and pieces out there. Got merked by a Gumpert out of the karrousel one lap which was awesome.













Also got to do a bunch of laps with this fella in a Schirmer E92. 7:20s all day long. Overtaking literally everything. Bonkers bonkers cars. Guy daily drives a Speciale and said this is different league.

That guy is cool. There's also a supercharged e46 vid doing the rounds that is very good.
I've emailed a pal at koenegsegg to see if he knows that fella. I'll give him my car if so. Very good.
