Alright....

Just got home from X Service Centre after I picked up my car. It went under the scalp for the past 10 days, and let me tell you that it was WORTH IT!

Before I go on, I want to thank Shakil for his patience with my PITA demands and parts, and for hooking me up with a rate that can be least described by saying it was below my expectations! Hat's off Sir...

The car now has new monoball TMS racing rear trainling arms bushings (RTABs) (http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html..._ID=TSU9980020) and the OEM upper & lower RTABs (http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...ID=33326775551). The reason these had to be changed is that I could never put power down upon exiting corners, the result was always an uncertain oversteer that made the car impossible to drive aggresively. The reason is that the OEM rubber bushings are designed TO FAIL every 40K km or so, much less when the car is raced. When they detoriarate the rear alignment basically exists only on the alignment shop print out paper! Not anymore :D

The car still oversteers, IF you want to, but it's so sharp and defined now you can make wonders with it. But if you're in track-mode, the rear end is finally following the front and it's just very composed and grip level is staggering.

This was the biggest chunck of the programme, it took a while cuz it envolved welding in the rear arm section. After that the subframe received new OEM subframe bushings, add them to the guibo, central bearing, engine and tranny mounts fitted 2 weeks ago at *** and the car is finally rattle/play free. A notch better than showroom condition considering the UUC stainless steel lines that proved themselves in RLC R3

The rest of it was the regular procedure; SMG bleeding and GT1 diagnostic to make sure everything is tight. The car is finally the way I want it, minus the GC custom coilover kit coming soon.

Thanks everybody for reading and thanks to X Service Centre crew.

P.S: As a bonus, I got a joy ride in a certain HPF Turbo E46 M3!! :D Eat your hearts out....

[Nabil]

Great news bro! cant wait to see the results on friday! mabrook :)

[SSense]

Thats a great news Ayham :)
BTW you shouldnt have mentioned about the HPF Turbo :cry:

[Haissam]

great news man :)

and about that HPF M3, you need to tell us more on friday!

[Ayham]

We'll see how they behave under racing conditions. Hopefully I'll adjust as quickly to them..

That HPF M3 was MENTAL!!! No traction even in 4th gear....

[SSense]

Got the Pirellis Ayham or not yet ?

[Ayham]

Will try the Dragons this round although they're not in the best of shapes. Just want to see how much improvement the bushings would single handedly do.
