Spec E46 General Chat Thread

[Hornung418]

So I've been getting the itch to build a car for 2015 or 2016 season. The e46 is a chassis I know a lot about and it's pretty much at it's lowest depreciation value.

Share your thoughts on this new series devoted to the beloved e46 330. If you are already involved, feel free to chime in with pictures and videos and information about your build!!

Home page: http://spece46.com/

Rules: http://cerient.net/spece46/se46rules.pdf

I'm really pumped to get into it and I'm hunting for any 330 from 2002-2006 in good shape and a manual transmission. I'd use my ZHP...but they're not allowed. :(

Please post in this thread with any information about the series, cars for sale, parts for sale or just talk about it in general.

Well, I've got a ton of parts to donate to the cause.

I think its awesome. I've been following closely on their facebook page. It seems to be the most active source I've found to see builds and new spec parts.

[Hornung418]

Yeah I've been following them too. I just want to see if anyone on here is gonna try to be involved.

Bump. Looks like they just released the spec tune.

That only mentions MS43... I thought I remember reading somewhere that you said it doesn't HAVE to be MS43. Is this correct?

[Hornung418]

Click the MS43 and you choose the management option :)

What did your Ground Control run you?

Also keep in mind that the idea is to out drive the others, not have the most money and buy the best stuff.

I am curious to see what feed back the set ups get after a few track sessions.

My GC ran me about 1800 then some changes in my springs probably nets me around the cost of the $2600 of the MCS SA setup.

[Hornung418]

Okay. Good to know. These are single adjustable from what I understand. And the spring rates are fixed.

The only thing that would set these cars apart are the weight (as there is only a minimum listed) and the rear differential. 3.46 LSD or 2.93 Open...
