hmm ill see if i can make it...if im not too stressed out from exams...

hey franky you coming to this one ????

oh and btw...my tyres are sort of going...esp the rear end...

should I

a) drive conservative unil then and then change afterwards or

B) get new tyres before then ??

I know it depends on how you drive...but how bad is wakefield on the tyres ?

shonen, with your tires i would get them before you go down if your gonna push pretty hard, depends on your driving style there too! also if they are pretty soft compound tires they will take a bit of a beating!

i would get new ones and do at least 500km on them before you head down!!

im still good for this day should be bringing at least 2 cars with me on the day too!

hey Tosh, you got a number on how many coming so far?

yeah they will take a fair hiding! really depends on what compound they are! i've always gone down with cheaper sime tyres on it that last for atleast 4 track days plus normal driving!

the softer and better the grip= shorter time they will last!

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
