I'm pleased the previous post helped explain matters.
Adding pre-load to a spring does not change it's rate - a spring's rate is constant unless it is a special variable rate spring.
Adding different amounts of pre-load effects the Bump/rebound ratio of the damper rod; if you add pre-load you...
Peoples views on Corner Weighting a car are quite interesting - I will try to explain in a brief response here to help people have an understanding:
Corner weighting a car will not improve the handling of that car! - There you go - bit of a bombshell to start with!
Now let me explain the above...
Fantastic - if you have any questions about the process then please ask whilst it is being done - we do enjoy explaining the procedures to people that show an interest - that way they can make more of an informed decision about the choices.
(It was probably Richard who I think you may have...
Just to clarify the cost of corner weighting the car (BLiNK Motorsport):
To corner weight the car costs £50 + vat
An alignment check costs £25 + vat
Alignment adjustment is then charged on an hourly rate of £50+vat/hour.
The costs of various cars is different depending on whether the customer...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
In your original post you stated this:
The email train is important because it does show that you HAD received responses and there were NO emails after the 11th May. I would have been very surprised if there were any emails after the 11th May because I spoke to...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
We don't want this to happen as it fairly pointless - we will have to disagree on the contact matter; we have produced the email conversations we have had with Jordan - he states there were others since the 11th but we have no record of those.
Anyway, in respect to...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
Hi Jordan,
as as said earlier this will explain why the rear cambers are lower than what we have set - we always weight the vehicle to the weight it will be used at - this is very important.
The rear camber on the BMW increases as the suspension is compressed and...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
I'm sorry if it comes across this way - it isn't meant to be belittling, just to highlight some facts from our point of view, we are very concerned when a customer isn't happy and we always try to work a solution out with them.
if we didn't care we wouldn't have...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
Jordan,
we really do care about the service we provide to our customers and hence the reply at 02.30 in the morning, in fact I was so incensed by your post that I didn't get to sleep until after 05:00 hrs. (I don't know why you consider it poor service to try and...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
And a few quotes from just after you had the alignment at BLiNK:
Lots of grip and balance, very predictable as to what its doing. Putting that down to having proper alignment and new bushes everywhere. Steering is precise, turn in/direction change spot on. Need to...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
We are always very disappointed to hear that customers aren't satisfied with the work carried out on their vehicles - we take great pride in the work we do so we DO like to hear if there is something wrong and we will do our best to resolve it.
In respect to our...
