#1. Koni Settings - from David Hogg

Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 06:03:52 -0800 From: "David Hogg" <springwood@blazenet.net> Subject: Koni Settings Dear DB, I've settled in on 1/3 turn from full soft in front, 3/4 turn from full soft rear, on a stock suspension. It's good for the type of daily driving you describe. Ride is a just little firmer than stock when new, but it handles corners and big undulations better than new (much better, and stiffer, than with the worn out stocks). Dave Hogg

Also, hp starts dropping off much sooner than the charts I've seen for the Euro HFM. Bad cam timing?

I called Interstate and they have 2 batteries that will fit the M3.. a MTP-91, which is a standard group 48/91 (smaller than stock) and MB66-60, which I presume is the same as a group 92, which would be the same size as stock. I opted for a group 48/91 since I live in TX and would rather save 10lbs than have an extra 50 CCAs. You can also get the exide 48/91 which has 60M warranty and has the vent on the correct side of the battery. It's about $10 cheaper than the Interstate. BTW, my old battery was the original and lasted from 4/94 until this week.

#9. Praises of a Quaife differential - from Wayne Miller
Top
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 10:12:53 -0500 From: "Wayne Miller" <m3@waynemiller.com> Subject: Praises of a Quaife differential I know that I have said this before but I just have to say it again - the Quaife differential is one of the best upgrades that you can put in your M3 (or other cars too). Yes, it is a bit expensive (I paid about $2,400 with a 3.46 differential) but I would go with this rather then those 18" wheels. This morning, it was yucky (foggy and wet) here in the NY area and I decided to play with my newly added power (more on that in a few days) and the traction control off. There were a few cases where I accelerated and the car wiggled a little but still went straight when I am sure that I would have been spinning in circles with a normal limited-slip. It is just amazing how it gets the power to the ground. Check out http://www.quaifeamerica.com/differentials/diffs.htm for more information or speak to Brett Anderson at Koala Motorsport http://www.koalamotorsport.com/ - that's where I bought mine. -Wayne P.S. I have nothing to gain by recommending this - I am just a satisfied customer.
