New PB on old tires with my new MCS suspension

So I go to shake down my new suspensions this weekend and it truly is an amazing setup . I was running front tires with 6 days in them so I was understeering pretty bad . Turned down the front rebound and compression 1 click and it was enough to largely correct for it by transferring to the rear faster! Picked up nearly 2 seconds after ! Unfortunately in my last session my steering pump seized and caused my belt to grenade , resulting in loss of power steering and massive overheating ( water pump goes with the belt ..). Combined with my increasing iron levels and 30k track miles on my motor I have decided to get it rebuilt by Lang racing . They have a solution for the bearing problem , not a bandage . He widens the journals and regrinds the crank with custom rods and wider bearings . I'm also getting head work done to improve high rpm flow . Enjoy the vid . I will journal the engine building a separate thread .

Andrew is awesome. Fellow e30m3 guy and track guy. And my e30m3 got rebuilt recently on the east coast. Shipping was actually pretty cheap.
