Installing the suspension on my BMW E30 M3 - Track car project Pt 4

The next task on our E30M3 Track project is to make some base settings on the HSD Coilover suspension. Ensuring the wheels have enough clearance in the arch when the car is under full compression and making sure the damper has enough travel.

Appreciate you guys bothering to do more technical episodes like this!

[@driftworks]

No worries. We have two different audiences with the Driftworks KZbin channel, and I have no doubt, some will not appreciate this type of stuff.

[@sxrory]

i don't know why but i think i could listen to Craig all day. Man knows his onions

[@DriftBuddy]

This BMW needs a Big TrackWorks sticker on the side, the dark suspension witchcraft side of DriftWorks.

[@dinxsy8069]

Great to see you're still as enthusiastic as you was way back in the mid 2000s -millennium? neither sound right ha ha. Watch Outsiders at least once a month, people read books to relax that vid is my relaxation. Keep up the good work fellas

[@driftworks]

Thanks man. Yeah I still love it! Always will :)

[@ratgreen]

Get yourself a speed click dremel disc cutting wheel tool. Perfect for cutting into small areas. Loving the build.

[@bikesonabudgetuk5313]

Loving the build guys. Will you guys ever do an mx32 Cressida build? Would love to see you guys build one and add it to the stable 😍

[@timburton1080]

Proper geek out on all the tech details

[@OrrcoRacing]

Having now seem Craig's gloved hand on the car at 10:10 I can never not see this colour as 'prostate exam blue'

[@ShedLife]

Loving this thing.!! Nice informative video also.! Good stuff.!

[@DonateE36]

clean color for E30

[@driftworks]

Thanks!

[@bu_nasser]

Are you happy Rich?

[@driftworks]

Haha, Rich loves to look sad when he's happy!

[@stashtrey1]

Is that oem Laguna Secca Blue paint? Stunning!

[@driftworks]

Porsche Riviera blue. Thanks

[@scottwhyatt8699]

So after a bit of time and testing, can you remember what your ideal adjustments ended up being for camber/caster/toe in both the front and rear?

[@driftworks]

I can't exactly, but it's probably due an alignment when I get it back with the new gearbox controller, so I'll see if I can do a video.

[@scottwhyatt8699]

Driftworks would absolutely love to see it!

[@philm.1045]

Great build! What wheels are those? Specs?

[@driftworks]

Thanks. They are Work Wheels MCO in 17"

[@philm.1045]

Driftworks 17x9”?

[@driftworks]

Front 17x9 and rear 17x10

[@christopherhall2618]

Are you guys going to Coventry Motofest this weekend?

[@driftworks]

That's the plan. With this car.

[@bimmer3251]

What hubs/bearings did you use to work with the E30 trailing arms as well as the E46 m axles?

[@driftworks]

It's all Z3M stuff, arms, hubs, axles.

[@YB0THA]

What brand is that camber board you used? Thanks

[@driftworks]

I think it was something like ADA.

[@leebrock8386]

That star tattoo tells the story of your life, in one little picture. lmao

[@driftworks]

It is his surname 🤓

[@goldendrifts8377]

Would you ever build a drifting Kia picanto

[@driftworks]

No, sorry.

[@joesibley2423]

What hsd kit is this because they told me they don’t do a true rear for e30

[@driftworks]

We don't I'm afraid. This is a customised E36 M3 kit.

[@mjb32]

Is that rotor on the wrong way? Direction-wise

[@driftworks]

No it's correct. Vents are the correct way, and the slots are almost down to personal preference with each brand as I understand it. The theory is that this way round braking is slightly better, and the other it's slightly quieter, so more suitable for road going cars.

[@wayedk1040]

Which rim set is that? and will they stay "forever" on this car?

[@driftworks]

They are Work MCO racing. You can see the finished (ish) car here kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6ewh56cd9OMZ9k

[@samclarke653]

Why not have an inch smaller wheel?

[@driftworks]

You mean run a 16"? Nah I wanted to run 17". The setup and ride height should be perfect. We've done a lot of work to make sure of it.

[@WickedMachineWorks]

Phil how do you have your tea?

[@driftworks]

Strong, milk, no sugar.

[@WickedMachineWorks]

No sugar??? No sugar??? Are you even British?
