E46 M3 track slag turned around in a day - Page 23

billyboysm3 · 24-06-2016, 07:02 PM

Fitted LED rear lights. And had some bits turn up at work today and finally managed to open the box that Ben at Hack Engineering sent me about 5 months ago with some decent locking nuts and stud set as want to run 10mm spacers all round.

My new anti rattle clips turned up with anti squeal Shims to hopefully stop the pads moving about. As the rears are doing my head in.

The car on track and on the road has perfect readings on oil and coolant but it's never been great in traffic and fed up turning heaters on in summwr. After going on the Mishimoto site and reading through their tests the rad and electric fan out perform the E46 OEM cooling system. As I'm driving to Donny thought I'd order the Rad and fan with shroud plus probe.

They look awesome and weigh nothing.

Also got a new exhaust going on for Donny, so running the same set up I ran on the CSL.

Changed the oil and been using some additive last couple of times. Seems to of made the engine quieter.

Took car for a spin last night. It's bloody rapid.

Yes they do, that's why I bought them to allow me to run 10mm all the way round.

Thought I'd better shift some weight with some quick M3's going to Donny. This popped up and was the perfect solution.

So it should sound something like this:

billyboysm3 · 05-07-2016, 10:41 PM

Rad and electric fan in

With switch for me to turn on inside cabin

Fitted new rear anti rattle clips and some anti squeal pads to stop rear brakes rattling around.

Left the car ticking over for about 45min and Mishimoto rad and fan kept car nice and cool.
Fan kicks in at 80•

Previous electric fan and OEM rad would take 5 min then needle would start rising which is no good in traffic.

Going to put some miles on the car tomorrow around town.

Supersprint lightweight race also on, I'll take a picture tomorrow.

With airbox sounds exactly like my old Csl. Roll on Donny.

Gave uniroyals a quick clean

And a knackered set of slicks a quick clean.

So absolutely well chuffed. Managed a good 45 min blat this morning to make sure car was running fine before the 2 hour treck to Donny on Friday.

New Mishimoto Rad and Electric Fan with probe really does help maintain and keep the temperature down.

In traffic it sits maximum a couple of mm off centre to the left but when driving sits just above quarter.

Previous set up was OEM rad and electric fan and makes this seem mickey mouse considering mine used to overheat in traffic after a few min when hot and have to have heaters on.

Supersprint lightweight race sounds just as good as I remember, great around town and combined with airbox sounds lovely pushing on. Saved another 5kg probably. So running supersprint cats and OEM centre section to save a few db.

Finally the knocking of the rear RS29's has stopped, put new anti rattle clips in and mintex Anti squeal 3M pads. Managed to get heat into the pads and thank the lord they do not knock anymore.

Car feels so much smoother through the gears and will be good to see what the straight line speed is like on track as always short shifted on track days, maybe the car was running rough before and didn't feel right when ringing its neck out and just got used to it. The car has never felt fast in a straight line till now.

Will be nice to see what its like compared to the other M3's at Donny as Ive based my build on this car being able to handle better than the CSL on Intrax and AP's.
