Subject: Fun experiment with the swaybar

It is very easy to disconnect the front swaybar on the E30. I only removed one nut, and it was off. I currently drive around without it for fun, and to see what it is like.

I recommend it to anyone interested in vehicle dynamics and car setup. I like it so much that I will keep this setup for a while, and possibly use it on wet autoX sessions.

So what did I notice? Here goes:

* More bodyroll (even more than expected)
* More oversteer
* Less traction (as in more inside wheelspin)
* Sharper turn in
* Probably less cornering grip during steady state sweepers.
* Slighty better comfort on bumpy roads.
