Our “Daily Driven Track Car” build thread has hundreds of pictures and videos showing work on three current E46 BMWs being built by Vorshlag, including our NASA TTD entry. This thread was long overdue for an some new content to be added to the 6 forums where it is updated, and you can read the latest 3-part entry starting here.
We show the recently added MCS TT2 coilover upgrade over the Bilsteins on our E46 330Ci, which included much firmer spring rates. We were hoping for an improvement in NASA TTD class competition and we saw improvements.
A slight tangent veers off to talk about racing wheel materials and design, which some readers might find useful. This was meant to get racers thinking about regular inspections of their race wheels – with tips on how and where to look for clues of fatigue cracks.
We show progress on the three “non-M” BMW E46 builds: our 325Ci “Jack Daniels”, the 328i Track Rat sedan, and our TTD racer 330Ci.
Finally we talk about the April NASA event at TWS, which did not go according to plan. We learned a valuable lesson at this event – FRESH TIRES MATTER! Again, you can start reading the latest entries in this E46 build thread starting here
