It was just a few guys hangin' around talking about all the hardware there and someone mentioned that the owner of the 911t was 24 and rented an apt. At the other schools, there were a few 911tt's but owned by much older guys and not really accomplished drivers. -Bobby 18B '98 M3/2 Arctic Silver w/blue brembo's > -----Original Message----- > From: Mount, Mike [mailto:JMMn@pge.com] > Sent: Monday, September 25, 2000 2:25 PM > To: E36M3 > Subject: [E36M3] Who drive what at Button Willow? > > > Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 14:13:11 -0700 > From: "Mount, Mike" <JMMn@pge.com> > Subject: Who drive what at Button Willow? > > > Okay, it's time for more confessions, I drove the Dakar Yellow M3. > Let's hear some confessions, it's good for the soul.

I think a while back, it was stated that you can make the M3 motor make around 300 HP normally aspirated with internal engine work in addition to all the standard performance goodies. I am not sure you can get 350HP out of the engine.

#6. (SF) Bay Area Tint Shop - from Lew Becker

Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 18:42:30 -0700 From: "Lew Becker" <lmbeckercfls@earthlink.net> Subject: (SF) Bay Area Tint Shop You didn't say which "bay area", but if it was SF you might try Silicon Valley Glass at 408-225-4404; ask for Art, the owner. Art's replaced some windshields for me (including my M3's, as well as another BMW's) -- good, careful work; very customer satisfaction oriented. Last time I was there, Art drove a Dinan M3 (SC, BBS wheels, etc. -- Dakar with tinted windows, of course), and his wife drove a new 5 series; he was planning on selling the M3 for a new M5. Although he didn't do any tinting for me, I wouldn't hesitate to have him do so if I wanted to tint.

#8. Lightweight - from Michael Ting

Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 20:07:25 -0500 From: "Michael Ting" <lupin@purdue.edu> Subject: Lightweight All this talk about Turbo and building motors leads to another common subject. Weight. How light can you make a stock E36 M3 non LTW version?? If you take out all the unnecessary components, without replacing any body panels, how light can you go?? Not that I'm going to do it... Just wondering... :) Maybe someone from TC Kline or Turner can answer this question. Michael Ting --------------------

#10. Re: How much negative camber? - from GregKono@aol.com
Top
Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 22:53:23 EDT From: GregKono@aol.com Subject: Re: How much negative camber? After my sixth track day, the Yoko AO32R's have said Uncle! The left front shredded the outside shoulder like a razor blade had cut it up. Granted, Gingerman is primarily right hand turns, so here is the delima. Add negative camber to decrease the track tire wear (how much....0.5 to 2 degrees?) and possibly ruin the street tires on the other side. I do 6-10 track days a year and drive the M3/4 year round as a daily driver (15k miles). Does anybody have experience with moderate neg. camber (0.5-1 degree) to help the track "thing" and not ruin the street tires? The car tracks so well on the street now, I would hate to ruin the ride. I have no interest in making the local body shop my "front end chiropractor" by putting negative camber in on Fri. and out on Monday. Any comments would vbe appreciated...........Greg in Mich.
