What did you do for your M3 today?

[tr3flip]

My clutch slave cylinder decided to suddenly take a doodoo. It left me stranded at the bottom of my driveway and had to replace it on the gravel. BTW, this is only a temporary spot until my wife and I get a place with a garage.

That is what I did, new unmodified VANOS unit with a VAC hub and is perfect.

Got the VAC hub today. It is a substantial piece of engineering.

Where are we with these VAC hubs these days? I've got a fresh new VANOS and was looking at VAC hub as an option. I can't keep up with the debates.

Hey sorry - was at hospital this weekend - nuclear family has grown to 3 strong !! 💪

I told the shop that I wasn’t targeting a specific ride height and while I thought my previous Eibach/Koni setup was pretty much perfect visually, I’d be happy to make a change to make the dampers work optimally. They didn’t provide any specs but on drivers side it looks to be about 13.5” front and maybe slightly less ~13.25” rear. Seems like a very slight drop compared to old setup (below) - though the ride is vastly improved

Congrats on the addition to the family and thanks for the info. Looks perfect IMO.

Care to share your ride height?

Mike

Started doing some sound recording. Mic in engine bay and near the exhaust. Pretty happy with the results!

Nice clean engine, mine is all varnished to hell, granted it had 4 previous owners.

I had read that cold weather environments can also attribute to varnish and it lived in New York for a while and now in Nebraska.


You what are doing in regards to pump>tab clearance?

Yea that is super clean. Not sure about cold environment mine was varnished to hell and from paperwork this car hasn't left CA. I'm thinking past owners did really long OCI.

Went on a Skyline (Hwy 35) cruise with a friend today while I’m in the Bay Area and got to see his new Oak Green toy
