[M3 Compact]

Has to be deemed a successful shakedown. Must've been the start turn to drag RWSC out.

How confident are you about sorting the engine power band issue?
What's the clutch issue?

Yes, thanks, I printed them last night and did some studying of the stage tiles for various competitors, makes interesting reading! I noticed that the E30 BMW, car 54 was generally the most competitive, it was very well driven!

Hi Simon,
Mentioned it to Russ and now think we need to speak to Wayne again, I think we need to try shorter inlet trumpets, move the exhaust cam and remap. Looking for somewhere near 7K - we need the extra revs to make the 4.4 diff work, the next diff we have is a 3.9 and we think it wont be quick enough.
Looked at master cylinder to slave cylinder ratios last night as we are using a TTV E36M3 flywheel and clutch. They are the same at 19mm & 22mm so I think I must have made an error when I adjusted the pivot height (to suit TTV error) or our Tilton pedal just didn't give enough stroke.
Hoping the new sachs plate will take the torque ok - what do you think?

No idea about WTG with your clutch John - I was asking because I've had clutch issues using a 100% factory set up, which I was (repeatedly) disappointed about.

Agreed you need 7K revs.
No point blunting the 6-pot beast with a 3.9 or even 4.1....
(IMHO) If you're using a standard 'box, then 4.4 with enough revs is the WTG.

Looks very promising on the results sheet.

Well done all the BMW crews.
