@SamR1989 another great vid. could I pick your brains on something? so I have a Clio 200 and an M2 Competition atm. M2 will be going soon to fund a house purchase... after which I'm planning to turn the Clio into a proper track tool (cage, coilovers, strip interior etc).. thing is your recent videos in the E36 have really got my questioning whether to sell it and follow a similar path (took the M2 on track and really enjoyed the rwd element, trying to keep it in check showed how 'easy'/safe the Clio is to drive fast). Any opinion on it now you've explored both cars on track?
@SamR19894 ай бұрын
Experienced all 3 to be fair (M2 being non-comp though) and out of them I would go E36. M2 was great but got a little boring being modern with electric steering & DCT ect. Clio again was a bit of fun again, but FWD and not all that much power also got boring. E36 even though an "M3" its not got all that much power nor the lightest so you've got the work for the pace which is really rewarding.

Few seconds slower round here but 36 is so much more involved than modern stuff. M2 was a great car but did feel like was in an arcade game in the end.

That’s actually stock (no lift kit) M2 are solid subframes, think louder as no rear seats and loud tyres. Used the ST45 pads, good but massive amount of dust.

@SamR19892 жыл бұрын
Never used Ohlins, kw clubsport were okay but always had their weaknesses, final straw was when they broke and damper became detached. Went Intrax 1K2 and improvements all round. Cars being sold so Intrax as coming off next week.

M2 N55 has never put a step wrong so far. Really depends what you want from a car ? RS3 will possible make a better road car but I'd imagen on track it would be numb, 5 cylinder pops n bangs + understeer. Whereas the M2 chassis is really rewarding.
