D.Basson - The Garage

Changed the rear pads on the bmw tonight - went for a little drive to "smooth" them in :grin:

The steering is sensitive - it turns in and then holds the corners, feels alot more stable mid corner as well.

Quick snap of the KTM, before the ride home today.

Now all you need is a thicker rear sway bar to reduce body roll at the back and a LS diff to help power you out of corners quicker.:clapper:

Epic day at the track.

Redstar is a great track. Smooth, technical and long. The e46 ran very well, the mix of tires and swaybar has made proper difference. It handles very well now, no hectic understeer. Only when I pushed into the corner to deep and wide did I have understeer.

Also the decat has made the car mre audible

Some pics from the day

the sway was the last piece needed to balance the car :rollsmile:

any pics of the car in corners now? i would like to see what it looks like with the suspension fully loaded

I did not buy the photo pack from the track, I think the lean was "similar" the understeer was just a whole lot less.

Thanks for the push to buy the swaybar Sean, appreciate the advice and guidance. I must now safe to get the bushes and decent pads from you.

Herman slapped his go pro into my car for one run - will get the footage from him and upload the run. Had some fun with a BRZ one 86 and 125i(coupe).

I still need to do the vanos seals :smashScreen:

Washed and ready for a little b-run tomorrow, it does look a lot more sporty without the boot on the back :grin:
