Impressions:
I am running the clutch and flywheel from the transmission salvage donor car and it is worn. It does shift well at high RPMs but off the line I believe the worn dual mass flywheel is making it a bit clunky. The weight transfer and body roll feel pretty good however, it is ruined slightly by worn seat
bushings that allow the seat to shift a little loose some feel. I was getting some understeer throughout the course. I will make a sway bar adjustment and possibly tire pressure adjustment for the next race.
Yes there is more I would like to do, however, I am limited by C-Street class for a few things and will likely jump a class in the near future. Class up items coming:
Lower ride height by ~1"
Front shocktower brace
Rear Sway Bar
330i front brakes
