  1. Not sure, you kind of just tweak to taste till it looks good, while not causing issues with suspension travel. You dont wanna go much lower than this (if any), it becomes hard to drive around without it being a pain in the ass. Its fairly important if your going 'coil overs' to get qaulity items that can deal running lower without binding up or being overly hard in 20% of the first compression.
  2. My old e46 330i with pumped guards on 19 x 8.5fr, 19 x 9.5rr et38 Forged Works Rezax II's wrapped with 235/35 R19 FK-452fr and 265/30 R19 FK-452rr (no stretch) KW v2 coilovers etc

  4. Nah but what has happened in the past is you start the morning with a briefing, then get split up into groups and perform 4-5 'stations' around the track different driver training tests. Then have lunch then in the afternoon they open the track up. Its a good day

    Before and After

    You need to run bigger wheels to get the look you're after and not have these sorts of problems. Also look at firming you shocks up to help stop this when turning if your gonna run that low. Car looks pretty sweet though! .. nice work
  10. Hehe .. yeah I would have if he didnt start sliding/sledging a lot of the corners. I really didnt want him oversteering and tank slapping it into me. The only way I decided to pass was under brakes. We both talked about it in the pits again and he said thanks for not overtaking him on the corners as he said he nearly lost it a few times.
  11. Totally! .. a stark contrast in cars, power to light weight vs muscle. 180hp and around 200nm more torque. the e30 catches up under brakes and if wasn't so worried about him sliding out and me hitting him I would of tried to overtake a few more times haha, he would of got back on the straights.
  12. Wasn't this Jock Styles old car ?
  13. Myself vs an e60 m5 ... great battle that I really enjoyed going toe to toe. I backed off a couple of times in the sweeper as I didnt want to plow into it! as he was pushing it pretty hard. FUN! enjoy.
  14. And with that I think the thread has served its purpose ... time for it to die locked.
  15. Latest NZ Performance Car mag is out ... page 86 Few fact typos here and there but very happen how it all turned out! Will file photos in showroom when I get them.

    Awesome car awesome photos man! congrats
  17. I had a go with a windows 7 LG phone ... very nice to use however a little bit too simple for my liking .. Im still a sucker for graphics. Samsung have announced the Galaxy S2 which is the first of the next gen phones .. to rivel iphone5. The thing I like about the galaxy over iphone (im not a fan boy of any of them btw) is that it has a microSD slot .. so I can save a little bit of coin and just get the 16GB model and if I use it up I can spend some coin and get more 'disk space' by buying a card. Iphone has some pretty cool apps however lots of developers are switching to andriod as its a open standard.
  18. Did you car end up feel stronger by the end of the day ? Also I think a trip to gavins for a retune would be in order after youve run it in.
  19. I know why that happened ... his right rear tire was under inflated .. saw that on an earlier session it was just gripping and sledging. Folding the tire nearly 45 degrees
  20. you were Managed a 1:18.3 .. Will post up a vid when I can ... Mint day guys .. had a lot of fun on this one!
  21. Thought I had some partual failure going on .. EWS started playing up as the transponder chip got dislodged so car wouldnt start and bloody altenator stopped charging .. sorted that out all back to normal.
