Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? In that case, the kick like feeling wholly depends on your manual driving methods. If the lack there of "kick-like" feeling you are referring to while in gear (clutch engaged), it could be either engine or drivetrain. If it was the clutch...

Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? Referring to this "kick-like" feeling, are we talking about a "kick-like" feeling from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th and so on in S5/6 mode (assuming yours is SMG) ? If so, yes you are supposed to feel this kick like feeling at 100% throttle. Even...

Re: Where do M drivers meet their Expert Mech's? A more specific description is needed. What RPM, cold or hot start, under how much throttle starting at what RPM, does RPM climb smoothly or there is a pause, etc, etc. From what you described, I can only think of a handful of issues they...

Re: ECU Remap Without mentioning any names, someone's E9X M3 in Singapore had its Engine and Drivetrain warranty voided during an attempted warranty claim. BMW regional took the ECU for analysis and found out the ECU had been reflashed and rev limiter increased. I'm not discrediting any...

Re: Blurple M3!!! This is a BMW ?

Re: BMW Driver Training The ADT conducted in Australia uses ///M cars and are definitely worth the trip. As far as I know, all ADTs have been conducted on Philip Island in Victoria. There are probably about 7-10 (if I recall correctly) E92,E90 M3s in their stables that are religiously...

Re: aston martin v8 vantage s or porsche 911 gts ? Borrowing Shaun's video clip. Nevermind about the 8000rpm redline. Listen to that downshift. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera Sepang Circuit BMWsg trackday - YouTube Downshifts like that has got to flick up a few skirts.

Re: Dataface returns to S2000 roots... Yup, party animal that guy. I hope he's not reading this. :D Doing his utmost to get me drunk the night before I was due to catch up with you and Arthur that Sunday morning. :rolleyes: Yup, its no surprise Evos hold the record times at Barbagallo...

Re: Dataface returns to S2000 roots... Yup it was the AP1. Not exactly well versed with Honda but I recall AP2 launched quite late in Australia compared to other regions. We always get the short end of the stick. But in any case I was told some revisions were made to AP2 suspension. I...

Re: Dataface returns to S2000 roots... Guess I hopped on the Bandwagon a little late. Great video footage. Neatly driven. I'll just have to say having driven a true blue stock S2000 (not the kind where I have hidden strokers, cams, coilovers, etc. but I-don't-tell-you-kind) at the track...

Re: Tooth Root-Canal Treatment: $ ??? Do continue to monitor the health of whatever remains for the next 6-12 months. I had mine done. Specialist referral by Mount E. Wound healed but somehow managed to get infected. I only knew about it when I bit something hard. This caused a swell in...

Re: DTM wars again!?! I have a soft spot for E30 M3s. Especially the carbon fibre intake manifold. Doesn't do much good but a sound you'll kill when you hear all 4 individual throttle bodies singing at full song. You have to have the car driving towards rather then away to truly hear all...

Re: Serious question - how to reply a buyer. In my opinion after transfer of ownership, onus lies with buyer not seller. It is the prospective buyer's responsibility to have the car inspected by a professional and knowledgeable workshop. The seller on the other hand should discharge as...

Re: Imported M3 If the car is a DCT 08 or earlier, ensure that the DCT software is up to date. Non updated 08 DCTs has a DCT lag issue. This is fairly obvious as you slow down to 2nd gear speed and getting back on throttle, the DCT unit seems to hesitate/delay shifting from 3rd to 2nd. This...

Re: Munich Adoption Diff noises are prevalent on E46 M3s in particular low speed lock to lock. I added BMW's recommended FM oil to my E46 and noise was gone within 500km thereabouts. I can't say I notice any noise on my E92. Planetary gears aren't too bad. The clutch pack type on my Evo...

Re: Urgent Help Needed - Tyre Pressure for 318I This was probably earlier in 2011, when I sent in the family's E92 for service, tyre pressure in either rear right or rear left was 300kpa+. I wasn't sure why the other 3 tyres were within 230kpa thereabouts. From then I made it an effort to...

Re: Grassroots in Motorsport Sorry, 100kph+ winds/thunderstorm brought down my neighbour's tree on my house last friday at about 0100hrs. Neighbour decided to DIY the tree which then ended up blocking my entire driveway with 2m tall branches. Back on the topic of data acquisition, I...

Re: Grassroots in Motorsport I wished I had started this when I was younger. I was in Singapore back in May where I met up with Shaun and Arthur at Kartright on Sunday morning and I saw the following. In the first photo, notice this kid's feet barely touched the ground ? My first...

Re: Grassroots in Motorsport I have been looking at the more affordable AIM MXL Pista and had a play around wth Race Studios. I find the MXL more user friendly for beginners as far as the plots and terminologies used as compared to the Model ADL2 which is about $8kaud not including sensors...

Re: Grassroots in Motorsport Images and text sorted. I think there are drivers out there who wants to achieve a higher level driving that is somewhat comparable with that of paid race car drivers but not quite understand the fundamentals and also set out with the wrong state of mind...
