whats up guys im not sure if this is the best place to post this vid didnt see a media forum. Have a video you guys might like its a M3 testing at our local speedway, getting ready for D1 here in chicago this weekend. But its gonna be like bring a knife to a gunfight, car is nearly bone stock sitting on blown shocks and cut springs. We're kinda debating if we want to go and build this car up for next year. Crowds seem to love the M, kinda of sick of 240s.

Dado, if your ever in the chicagoland area hit us up we can do some M tandems

thanks dado, track is beat up but pretty fun and cheap. We took it to d1 chicago last weekend got screwd on practice quoc lee was running in our practice group flipped it, lost that session. Chick in the gto crashed in the next 2 sessions lost those. Ended up with with like 4 practice runs, everyone else got 10-15 runs. Its ok though were gonna go ahead and keep deveoping the M, but were ditching the stock powerplant. Based on the cost of building a built BMW powerplant and our tight budget were thinking about dropping in one of our built nissan engines which will give us about 400-450 rwhp, and picking up some decent suspension over winter. Got any tips or advice for us on building up this M? Thanks

no tips since I was never able to get a setup that really worked for me. It was always very snappy and not stable through the corners. For road racing it was great but drifting was a work out. Other cars that I drifted with were a dream and not many inputs were needed during a drift (IE CTSV)

man.... your right, snappy and a workout to drive, we just figured it was because of our beat up ass suspension. Hmmm... intresting development, may have have to re-consider. Thanks anyways though.
