True, it's one thing if that big swaybar makes the car easier to rotate and another thing if it makes it snap or break away abruptly. That's what Yandy needs to look for and test. Lots of people have tried thick rear swaybars and decided to put the stock bar back or run with no rear swaybar. I think Yandy's other mods are uncontroversial for track.

I need to see what the car does. How it handles at the limit or close to it. But I will report back.

I don't disregard you because, basing purely from your posts, you do seem to know what your talking about. But you seriously need to work on your communication skills. That is the douchiest way of putting that. You can add your input, but this is HIS car, HIS money. If he doesn't want to listen, that is his decision and there is nothing wrong with that. Just like you are giving him advice on driving, take that from me. Communication is THE most important thing in this world.

To sum up what Purple said and I am supplementing, you want to be using 100% of your tires grip from the beginning of the braking zone until the wheel is pointed straight at the exit. That is achieved through those techniques. When you can do that consistently is when I personally recommend moving on to a stickier tire, however it is completely unrealistic for ANYONE to do that in every single corner, even Michael Schumacher would not achieve that.

I plan, maybe this year to take a couple of the Skip Barber racing schools. Hopefully I learn something there (I'm not a complete moron ). But for now, I just want to go out, have fun and enjoy my car. These things I added were bugging me for quite some time, so I upgraded them.

Yandy,
While the delivery could have been smoother, Purple makes some excellent points. The main thing you want to keep in mind is that a stiffer setup isn't always better (especially when still learning the car). I don't know if you have adjustable coilovers, but with the addition of all these new parts at once, I suggest you start with a softer than normal setup. Although improved stiffness might get you more grip, it also means that the car will be much less progressive at its limits (snap oversteer possible), especially with rcomps. These parts will make the car have a lot less "give", so your reaction times will have to be quicker than before. So progressively work your way up faster times, but be more sensitive to lift-throttle oversteer! Good luck! |

I do have double adjustable coil-overs (height, rebound). I will keep them somewhat soft and go as I feel the car handle per your advice. Thanks!

On a lighter note, I got the Solo-DL today, hardwired both CAN and USB Power in case I need to charge during sessions.
This is not the right suction cup mount, I think that should be here tomorrow (1/25). But in any case, this one would work till I do get the correct one. I got it to see how consistent or inconsistent I am and learn from it as well (not really worried about track times). Finally seeing braking, G, temps, pretty much anything you would need. Picture

Yandy, good stuff out there. Some nice mods Creating a good list of items for my current 128i haha.
So anyhow.. I wanna tell you this; Modifying the car isn't that bad at all however you have to always remember, when you raise a car's capability, you have to move with it from driving skills POV...and I think the fella in the previous posts were trying to deliver that message but a bit failed on the comm. part I wanna give you a different perspective if I can....There are a lot of good drivers out there that started with an Spec E30 such as Mike Skeen, James Clay Anthony Magagnoli etc. May be the one of the sole reasons that they are "good" is; When you can dance with less capable car thru every turn, especially a crap can like an e30 then you start excelling, and gain confidence. There is also the fact there when you can drive a 'momentum' car fast, you start to gain a different sense of limit. At this point, your car is VERY capable...But how much of it are you using? I didn't start with an E30 just because I found great deal on e36 m3 that I couldn't pass. I did couple years of track days, then became a instructor now running clubracing ranks where I really enjoy the most. Am I still at my cars' capable limit? Close but not there yet...Although I have a recent track record at MidOhio, I am still 1 second at least from cars capability. Go ahead take a look at my youtube channel, you will find the track record video. I am proud of that lap, it still has room to grow although I am at a very similar pace like Conti ST cars that are at least double/triple the value of my current car... I am, may be putting 200 hp to the ground with 3006lbs running weight. Anyhow long story short; Focus on yourself as much as focusing on your car. Spend sometime with a Driver Coach (not DE instructor) if you are really serious about this addiction. I can refer you to couple if you are interested. Don't run out of talent before the corner, and don't get scared too late.

There's a guy down here David Tuaty that I plan to soon invest in. I have heard nothing but good comments, and him getting people 3-4 seconds just on the first couple of sessions. There will be some time/money invested in my skills, as I found out the hard way. Thanks again for the advice and story line.
