After seeing countless claims and tunes for the hallowed nurburgring, the fastest tune, the sickest etc etc, after trying t hem i realised the tuner didnt really achieve anything than altering the cars handling, never beneficial to the track just changed. so i decided to set to work myself.
My aim, was to get the fastest road car, no downforce, just pure springs. at present my lap record for the BMW M3 CSL is 6:39 (nurburg 12.9miles)
what no-one has seemed to figure out yet is that every setting you change has a knock on effect to all other settings. thats simple you say, yet no-one seems to get past the same old problems. eg.... you change your front shock compression from 4 to 3, what you have done is make it stiffer, so when you turn and the car leans its will 'collapse' slower to its bottom point (makes sense you say) what you havnt factor'd in is that now you have done this anti rolls bars need to been softened, camber re-arranged, change the toe and your ride height probs need adjusting too, its not just a '1-setting swap' fix.
no doubt i will get a load of abuse for this thread, however im bored of the i run this camber setting and it works, well i run the opposite and it works so your lieing etc etc, each setting is relevant to the adjoinging componants setting.
and for those who doubt me, here is my M3 CSL settings.
Front Rear L.S.D
Ride Height -17 -16 12
Spring Rate 13.5 14.6 32
Shock Ext 7 7 11
Shock Comp 3 3
Anti R B 4 4
Camber 1.6 1.9
Toe 0.11 -0.8
you wont find a easier more predictable set-up than this. it corners as fast a cars in the league or 2 above and still holds more speed. would like to have some feedback on the set-up, as i am planning on taking alot of 'company cars' and making them as fast if not faster than their racing counterparts.
the only thing i can say to help any1 who is trying to tune a car is.....
Just because it understeers, doesnt mean you need to adjust the front end 👍
